MARBERO Portable Power Station 88Wh Camping Lithium Battery Solar Generator Fast Charging with AC Outlet 120W Peak Power Bank(Solar Panel Optional) for Home Backup Outdoor Emergency RV Van Hunting

I picked up this little power station because I wanted something simple for camping and small projects. It is pretty compact and easy to carry, kind of like a chunky lunchbox. The design is nothing fancy but it feels sturdy enough to toss in the car without worrying. I like that it has a regular plug plus USB ports so I can charge a mix of stuff. I used it to keep my phone, a small fan, and a light going on a weekend trip. It handled all that without any drama. The fan only ran a few hours but honestly that is expected since it is a small unit. Charging it back up was simple with the wall plug, though I might grab a solar panel down the line. There are a couple small cons. The battery does not last long if you plug in bigger things, so do not expect it to power a fridge or anything crazy. The little screen is also kind of plain and does not give a lot of info. Still, for basic stuff it does the trick. Overall, I am happy with it for what it is. It makes camping and power outages less of a headache and gives me a backup without taking up a ton of space. It is light enough to carry around and easy to figure out. If you just need power for phones, lights, and other small gear, this thing gets the job done.

Update- I posted a review earlier when my son used it for an overnight camping trip with friends in the local mountains. Now my husband and I are using it for camping trip and my brother-in-law saw it and was checking it out and he really likes it. He was surprised a little thing like this provides so much power, and now he wants one too so I know what to get him for Christmas! So this would make a great gift for any camper! My previous review: I wasn’t sure what to expect with something this compact, but my husband has liked it! It’s super lightweight and easy to carry, but still has plenty of power to keep a phone, tablet, and small devices charged. My son tried it out on a camping trip and it worked perfectly. The fast charging is convenient. It also gives us peace of mind knowing we have a backup when the power goes out at home, which it often does during the PSPS events in California. Overall, it’s a solid little unit for the price. Glad I picked this one up!

I got this portable power station to send to my family in Venezuela, where power cuts happen often, and it’s been a real help for them. It charges fast and holds power for a good amount of time. They’ve been able to plug in phones, small fans, and even a lamp during long blackouts without any issues. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to use just press the buttons and it’s ready to go. The display shows how much battery is left, which is super convenient. For places with constant power outages, this little unit really makes a difference.

UPDATED: Company ultimately issued me a replacement unit which solved the problems I was experiencing. Still bummed my first unit had problems but appreciate getting quality service, and conceptually love this product and the idea of having a portable laptop / cell phone battery bank. ORIGINAL: I'm a professional sound recordist and bought this (along with a solar panel by same company) to be able to recharge laptop, phone, and other small electronics while in the field. On paper it's great, I like the compact design, the flashlight is a nice feature, and it has a ton of ports. The problem is that my model seems to suffer from unpredictable, sudden battery charge loss. E.g. sometimes it behaves as expected (I've done a ton of recharge for the watt-hours of my devices and this battery, so understand what I'm asking of it) - other times the battery will either self-discharge and go from 4 bars to zero, or start recharging a cell phone and then totally fail. As a result I don't consider it trustworthy to bring into the field and unfortunately that's kind of a deal-breaker for a device like this. I'll be contacting the manufacturer to see if they'll offer a replacement battery, but I'm not sure I'll be able to trust it again which is a shame. If you're a professional and have low tolerance for this device failing, I'd purchase something else. But if it's a fun toy for recreational use, this will probably work for you.

Works pretty good. My sister bought me one and I use the power generator with a small heating pad and it last about 5 hours on the lowest setting when camping. I liked it so much that I bought me another so I can have another 5 hours of heat from heating pad. It fully charges in about 6 hours with charger and a few hours more with the solar panel.

I got this in August 2024 and it is only now January 2025 and it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I just tried to use it to power my laptop while it itself is plugged in and it was fine for a little while but all of a sudden stopped doing anything and won't power the laptop any longer. I have the Marbero battery plugged in and I pressed the Power button and then pressed the Outlet button. Like I said, it was fine, the blue battery bars were full and the red plug picture lit up. Now the blue battery bars is only showing one, it's blinking, and when I try and turn on the Outlet button it blinks red quickly but doesn't do anything. I've checked the outlet this device is plugged into and it's working fine and other things that are plugged into the same outlet are working no problem. I originally gave this a great review and I thought it was great and very helpful but it hasn't even been a year and I've only used it I think two other times (aside from when I first got it to test it out) so I'm really annoyed by this. Below is my previous review. I work from home so that means that I need to have my modem/router and laptop plugged in and getting juice for the entire time I’m working. Thankfully, my shifts are only two hours at a time and neither my router nor laptop are all that power-hungry. But any time that I’m not able to work that’s time that I’m not getting paid for and that’s obviously a problem. My power has gone out more than once while I’ve been working so I’ve been looking for something like this for a while and it happened again recently so I decided enough was enough. I got this hoping that I can prevent losing any work time (and money.) I’ve looked at other, similar power stations, but they were either way too expensive, way too big/overkill for my needs, or both. This one was inexpensive and had a coupon and it seems to be able to do what I need. I especially like that it has regular outlets for things that have two or three prongs (like my modem/router). In addition to that it’s got multiple USB ports, a USB C port (for my laptop), and even has a port where you can plug in a car charger (it also includes the car charger adapter thing). In addition to that, there is a big flashlight that is nice and bright and has three brightness levels and an SOS mode. If you do use the flashlight keep in mind that aside from that eating up power from the device, the brightness that you have it set to will determine how long you’re able to use it. In other words, if you have it at the brightest level you won’t be able to use it as long as if you have it at the dimmest level. The same thing goes for what you’re charging with it. If you’re using it to charge a phone you will get more use out of it than if you’re using it to power a computer. Different devices use different amounts of power so it’s hard to say how much of a charge you will get from what you’re using it for. The entire device is quite small, smaller than I realized when purchasing it, and is also very light. I think it would be useful to have when road-tripping, camping, backpacking, etc. because of how tiny and portable it is. I also want to point out that you can get a compatible solar panel to use with this which can help charge it and recharging it via a wall outlet will bring you up to around 80% in about two hours. Now, there are others out there that will charge to around 80% in less time, but they’re also quite a bit more money. This one also has these safety features that I wanted to point out: Short-circuit Protection, Low-voltage Protection, Over-current Protection, Over-voltage Protection, Over-load Protection. So in simple terms, you don’t need to worry about it lol.

With so many competition out there for the similar product, I took a chance on this Marbero portable charger. And let me tell you it did not disappoint. I was skeptical about the size I didn’t want something very bulky and heavy. This satisfied both. Design is model and tasteful. For a portable battery that does so much, this thing weight less than I expected. Couple of things I can share. The built in light illuminates bright! Can use it as a lantern when it gets dark for you to still hang in the dark without ending the night early. Has 3 different brightness mode and an emergency blinking mode. And some of you may be wondering what is that DC Out port. Well it comes with an adapter in for a 12 volt outlet aka car power socket. Could serve useful in the case if you are out and about and don’t have a USB-A or USB-C cable but remember you have a charger in your car. Quite versatile that they included this. Really came in clutch when hanging out with friends in a world where everyone lives on their phone constantly. Had this charger laying around outdoor and everyone was able to charge when needed. Went through several cycles of charges of phones and the unit still had half the battery life remaining. Unit seems well built but it is a plastic housing I don’t know how well it will survive a high fall. I wouldn’t risk it. Ready to use right out of the box. There is an on/off button. So you can have your electronics plugged in and if you don’t feel like charging or have them on (like a portable fan) but also don’t want to unplug, simply press the power button. Very useful. This unit is a must for any camping or going to the beach. Keeps all devices charged and no one have any fear of their phone drained. It’s a peace of mind. And I prefer this style handle over the traditional center style but that’s just my preference.

I am absolutely happy with this power generator. I purchased it for my starlink mini to,use in car. It’s been used not only for starlink, but actually,charged the starlink battery, iPad and iPhone. The light comes in handy at night when I’m changing out the SL peakdo batter to this one. It get slightly warm but not hot. Noise level is low and charges rather fast by solar panel or electric. Most of all it’s small, light and the handle to carry it comes in very handy. Fits in my SL Bogg bag or backpack. Very satisfied. I’ve been using it since early,November.
