Unboxing / Meeting

Total, it took lower than 5 minutes to assemble.
On the underside of the photo voltaic panel is a small field with output ports, which have two USB-A ports and a USB-C port. It then has a DC5521 port and an included cable with XT60/DC7909/MC4/Anderson connections. This ought to be sufficient to hook up with most transportable energy stations, or you may cost telephones and energy banks utilizing the USB ports.
Efficiency
I acquired fortunate with a weekend of solar for this assessment, so I paired the desk with EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max, which I used to be capable of join with the XT60 cable.
I plugged in my EcoFlow energy station at 8:30 a.m., which had a 17% battery. With partially obstructed gentle, the panel supplied 12W of energy to my EcoFlow.
Sporadically checking on the enter energy, the best I noticed was 35w, which I feel is respectable contemplating I reside up north and my again backyard the place the desk was positioned is easterly dealing with with restricted daylight.
After I introduced it in at 6:30 pm, EcoFlow had charged 64%.
