EGO Power+ BA1400T 56-Volt 2.5 Ah Battery with Upgraded Fuel Gauge (3rd Generation)

I lost power for only 4 days after she blew through. I bought 2 of these, some spare batteries, a connector and a couple of base stations. With 2 panels connected in parallel I reckon I can get around 20ah's of power saved on a bright sunny day (late Oct timeframe). Enough for a hot shower and pot of coffee the next day. You know, the important things...

Works well but way overpriced

I purchased the EGO Power+ Solar Panel for the 3000W Portable Power Station in January, looking to add a backup power source while also being able to charge it up in a more environmentally friendly way. Initially, during the first month I had it, the solar panel operated flawlessly and added that clean, efficient back-up power I was looking for. In order to keep the batteries in tip top shape, I started using the power station to power my office daily during the evenings, while recharging during the day. While the first month went great, by the end of the second month using the solar panel I found the time to charge the batteries growing longer, which didn't make total sense, since we were heading into spring and summer with better sunlight available. Things got so bad, I had to purchase a Greenmagic 200W Foldable Solar Panel, which has performed flawlessly since I purchased it in March, with NO issues at al. Since I had purchased this panel, I continued to use it to power my smaller deices, like my phones and some external power chargers. It was a pretty low power draw, so even though it was really underutilizing the panel, it was still giving me come usefulness. That is until last week. Inexplicably, the panel has stopped working and no longer generates an power. I've tried putting the panel in multiple places to no avail, including spots where the Greenmagic 200W Foldable Solar Panel works just fine. This isn't the first EGO product I've experienced issues with, but it certainly will be the last. I HIGHLY recommend you LOOK ELSEWHERE to get a better solar panel and avoid pretty much any EGO product, unless you are good with throwing away ~$200 on a short term rental of a product. Certainly not a great value for the money, especially with better products available at a lower price.

Takes over a day to charge 4 batteries with panel. Device is unusable during that time. Refund deducted over 20% since it's now cheaper.

You can’t utilize while charging via solar which makes this worthless Who needs to fix this asap Have a lot of their products but this was a major disappointment
