One of the biggest improvements to power stations recently has been the shift from lithium-ion battery technology to LiFePO4 batteries. These aren’t as power-dense as their lithium counterparts, but they’re safer (i.e., less likely to catch fire) and have a much longer lifespan. How much longer? Up to six times longer with more than 3,000 recharge cycles, making them ideal for long-term usage.
For the past six months or so, I’ve been using the PowerRoam 1200 to run power tools away from a main outlet. This means that it has been thrown into the back of a truck and dragged to some inhospitable places filled with mud, dirt, and dampness, subjected to high loads, and then been put back on charge awaiting its next work outing. This type of usage goes above and beyond what a power station is designed for, yet the PowerRoam 1200 is still going strong.
