Wish I Could Try it Again
So, I absolutely loved this for the short time that I had it. All the bells and whistles and everything I needed for jobs site emergencies or camping. I was really looking forward to it.My son used it once to run his laptop when it died on a long trip right after I received it. Ran for a few hours!That is about all I can surmise on this. As I had it ready in my work truck and getting ready for a camping weekend someone decided that they wanted it more than me and took it from my vehicle.I wish I could find them today as I still have the Monster-branded charging cable for it that they might need to keep it charged.Oh well. At this time the item is still currently unavailable. Even though I didn't get an opportunity to try it all out, I am certainly wanting to get another one!

Nice power station, lifetime warranty
Ok, I will start with the same as a lot of the reviews: it is a bit overpriced compared to the portable batteries in the same class. But it does come with a bunch of features and it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, which is class-leading.This is a nice 296Wh battery in a standard-size footprint for the capacity. There are 4 output "zones" that are individually switched: the 10W Qi charger on top, the 12V DC output, the USB outputs, and the AC inverter outputs. The AC output is said to be a pure sine wave output and indeed it is very pure, so you don't need to worry about compatibility with devices. The USB-C output actually also works as an INPUT, so you can charge it completely just using a USB-C cable instead of the included power adapter if you wish, which is what I do. You can even use them both at the same time to speed the charging process, which is awesome when you're in a hurry. Also included is a DC car plug that can be used to charge the battery but also can be used in reverse for the battery to trickle charge your car's battery directly though the DC plug, which can be quite useful if you plan to leave your vehicle at a trailhead for a multi-day hike.I have been using this over the weekend trips and it has performed well with everything I have thrown at it. The biggest complaint, as others have noted, is that the included display is quite limited. I have seen very similar limited displays on other lifetime warranty products, so it seems there may be some trade off the manufacturer is making for reliability. But it's still disappointing as you just get a battery figure with 5 bars to indicate battery charge; no real-time usage info, no estimated time left, not even a percentage charge as a number. Also on the black versions, the printed lettering is hard to see, though you don't really need to see it, but it should have probably been white or something.
