Can the iGen160s run a mini fridge or a kettle?

No. Its inverter is rated at 100 running watts and 150 peak watts, well below what fridges, kettles or power tools need. It is meant for phones, cameras, drones, lights and small speakers.

How long does it run on a charge?

Runtime depends on the load. The listed figure is about 6 hours, which fits light loads like a phone or a lamp. Heavier AC devices drain the battery much faster.

Can I charge it with a solar panel?

Yes, through a DC input that accepts 13-25V at up to 2A. Any panel with a matching output works, though the 2A limit makes solar charging slow.

What comes in the box?

The station, an owner's manual and a battery charger. Solar panels are not included.

How many devices can it charge at once?

Up to nine, using the two AC outlets, four USB ports and three 12V DC outputs together. Total draw still has to stay within the 100-watt rating.

Is the AC output safe for laptops and phones?

Yes. The inverter produces pure sine wave power, which is suitable for sensitive electronics like laptops and cameras.

4.5 / 5764 ratings

Owners rate it well as a compact, quiet unit for charging small devices on trips and during outages. Most praise its portability, silent running and the built-in lights. The main complaint is that its wattage and capacity are too small for anything beyond phones, lights and small electronics.
