SUAOKI G500 Portable Power Station - Camping & Home Emergency - Generators, Power Station, Tools & Outdoors

Though Suaoki Tech isn’t exactly one of the most recognizable brands in the portable generator industry but it has a good value in the market now a days. The name itself seems Asian, even if it’s based in Staten Island in the US.

But that lack of recognition is gradually changing, as an increasing number of people have become aware of their products in solar power options, automotive jump starters, and portable power supplies.

As this SUAOKI G500 Portable Power Station Review will show, the brand actually deserves to be more popular beside other popular portable generator brands.

Why Should You Use SUAOKI G500 Portable Power Station?

It may not seem like the obvious choice, but a closer look at the SUAOKI G500 Portable Power Station 500 wh can convince you that it’s a wise choice:

You can power more devices at the same time. The ultimate capacity of this power station is better than just about any other competitor out there. It can power a small fridge even while you’re recharging 3 mobile devices at the same time.

It can power sensitive devices. Just because you have a power station doesn’t mean you can use it for something like a CPAP machine to help you sleep better. That power station can build up excessive heat or damage your device. But this G500 has pure sine wave output that’s suited for such devices.
You have 3 USB ports that can quickly recharge your devices. That means no more having to line up so you can take turns charging from a single USB port. In fact, some portable generators in store don’t even have USB ports.
It’s best for camping. Not only is it compact and lightweight for easy portability, but its wattage lets you do a lot more than just recharge your mobile devices. Camping with an RV can be a lot more fun with this around.

You can also recharge it with a solar panel. Theoretically, this means you won’t have to run out of power altogether since solar power is free.

Negative Things of SUAOKI G500:

The status lights may be somewhat erratic

SUAOKI G500 power station is a fairly new brand, to be sure. It was only recently when the SUAOKI Portable Power Station was merely a prototype, and the company was still seeking seed money to turn it into a true consumer model.

Now they’ve succeeded, and the industry now has what is far is its most powerful all-in-one power station.

SUAOKI 500 Watts:

This may not seem like much if you’re used to gasoline generators, but it’s a lot if you only want to recharge various mobile electronics and small appliances. Other portable power station generators within the same price range offer much fewer watts.

The 500 watts here can power a small refrigerator for up to 13 hours in one charge. A single 20w LED light bulb will also run for up to 20 hours. Phones can last up to 90 hours, while laptops cam last for 45 hours.

Lots of Sockets:

It can be annoying when you have very few outlets and USB ports, but you have ample outlets here.

(2) x Pure Sine Wave AC Outlet (300W Max). Unlike modified sine wave output, this pure sine wave power source works much better for sensitive acoustic audio devices and delicate gadgets like CPAP machines.
(2) x QC3.0 USB-A (18W Max). These ports are for the traditional USB-A devices.

(1) x QC3.0 USB-C (also known as Type-C). This is the port you want to use if you want your device charged faster. It even prevents you from being annoyed when you plug the cord wrong, because it’s flippable.
(1) x Anderson Powerpole Connectors (150W Max). This is one way to charge your G500 with solar panels.
(2) x 12-Volt DC Port (3A). These let the generator power your DC light bulb, ADSL modem, wireless router, and security camera.

(1) x 12-Volt Car Port (10A). This one is for in-car devices, so you can power the air compressor, car refrigerator, and even the portable outdoor shower.

SUAOKI G500 Battery Management System and Safety Measures:

This has protective measures to prevent damage in cases of over-temperature, over-voltage, and over-current. If the internal temperature goes too high (over 113° F) or the watt total is more than 150W, the cooling fan automatically turns on.

If it heats up excessively, it will automatically shut off. There’s also the protective chip for short circuit, over current, and over voltage.

Multiple Recharging Options:

You’re not limited to just plugging this into a wall socket at home before you use this outdoors.

If you do go with this option, it’s great as you only need 8 to 10 hours to fully recharge. But you can also recharge this through the cigarette lighter socket in the car while you’re driving. Once you’re at camp, you can also set it up to use the power obtained through a solar panel.

Portability:

This SUAOKI Portable Power Station 500wh is designed to be easy to carry with you to camp. At home, you can also just place it anywhere without difficulty. It only measures 11 x 7.5 x 8.3 inches and it weighs only 22 pounds.

The G500 SUAOKI Portable Power Station should be charged at least once every 3 months. If the screen shows only a single bar, it’s also time to recharge.
