The listing doesn’t give the battery capacity, the outlet layout, the charging options or the weight. On a unit at this price those are worth knowing, so email [email protected] and we’ll read them off the unit.

It came from a retailer return or overstock load, so it can be new, open-box or a customer return in a worn box, and it’s sold as-is. Returned power stations can arrive without the charging cable, or with a battery that’s sat flat for months, so check that it takes a charge and that every outlet works.

The price is $749.99, and $764.98 covers delivery to any of the 50 states (single items ship at $12.99 per order plus $2 an item). Free collection is available too: choose “Buyer Arranged Freight / Local Pickup” and come to our dock in Dalton, GA by appointment, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm Eastern. There’s more backup power and tool stock in this department. At $749.99, it clears our $200 single-item minimum on its own.

Items can also be returned within 7 days of delivery or pickup for a 10 percent restocking fee: unopened for any reason, with you paying the return shipping, or opened if it isn’t what you ordered, with us paying the return shipping.
