UDPOWER's S1200 packs a 1,190Wh LiFePO4 battery with 1,200W of continuous output (1,800W peak) and UPS-style fast charging. It works as a portable solar generator and backup battery power supply, with an integrated design that is ready to take and go. It is a solid option for home backup, outdoor travel or off-grid power when you need more than an entry-level unit.

A portable power station stores energy in a rechargeable battery, so there is no fuel, no exhaust and no engine noise. Recharge it from a wall outlet before a storm or trip, or pair it with a solar panel configuration below.

Choose your configuration

• Peak 1800W: the S1200 power station on its own
• Peak Power 1800W + 120W Solar Panel: power station plus a 120W solar panel
• Peak Power 1800W + 210W Solar Panel: power station plus a 210W solar panel

Real-world runtime estimates

Rough guide for the 1,190Wh battery, allowing about 15% for conversion losses (about 1,012Wh usable). Real results vary with the device, temperature and battery age.

• Smartphone: about 67 full charges (at roughly 15Wh each)
• Laptop (about 60W): around 16.9 hours
• LED lamp (about 10W): around 101 hours
• Small fan (about 40W): around 25.3 hours

Good to know

Watt-hours (Wh) describe how much energy the battery stores; watts (W) describe how much power the unit can deliver at once. To estimate runtime, divide the battery's Wh by the wattage of what you are powering, then allow for conversion losses. Add up the wattage of everything you plan to run at the same time and keep it below the unit's output rating. It is not designed to run a whole house, central air conditioning or other heavy-duty appliances.

Who this is not for

Anyone who needs to power central air conditioning, electric heaters or an entire home.

Setup and care

• Charge it fully before first use and before a storm or trip
• Store it in a cool, dry place and top it up every few months
• Do not charge or discharge it in freezing or very hot conditions
• Use cables and panels rated for this model

Frequently asked questions

How long will it run my devices?
Divide the battery's watt-hours by the watts your device uses, then allow for about 15% loss. The estimates above show typical examples.

Can I use it indoors?
Battery power stations produce no exhaust, so they can be used indoors. Keep them dry, ventilated and away from heat sources.

Can I bring it on a plane?
Usually not. Airlines limit spare lithium batteries to about 100Wh (up to 160Wh with approval), so most power stations cannot fly in carry-on or checked bags.

Does a solar panel come with it?
Only in the solar configurations. Choose the 120W or 210W solar panel option above; the first option is the power station alone. Questions about matching a panel? Call 1-800-680-4080.
