Most CPAP machines are between 30-60 Watts. Watts is a unit of power and a function of current (amps) and volts (Watts= amps x volts).
Rangestorage FEM-PS800/1600 are enough to power a CPAP machine. the working hours = Capacities *0.85 / operating wattage of your CPAP.
For example, assuming the power consumption of your device is 53W, the Explorer 500's working time is 518Wh*0.85/53W=8.3 Hrs (rough calculated).
All Rangestorage portable power stations support pass-through charging.
Please kindly store the power station within -20-60℃. And please recharge it every 3-month to keep the battery power above 50% if you don't use it.
Normally, the kettle is more than 1000W, so the FEM-PB800 can’t handle it.
The FEM-PB800 can run the device which operating power less than 1000W. Please kindly check the detailed input data of electric blanket or coffee maker, there will be current (amps) and volts (Watts= amps x volts). The FEM-PB800 can run it If your electric blanket or coffee maker power is less than 1000 watts.
The input power data of FEM-PB800 is DC 33.6V, Max 160W,6 hours for charging.
But we can not recommend other brand products to recharge Rangestorage power station. For the safety, please buy the Rangestorage FEPM-NP160 160W for Rangestorage FEPM-PB800 to charge, because we can not guarantee their qualities or provide after-sale service for it.
The output power of SolarSaga 100W is 18V, and the cable connector size is 8mm. If the power station can meet 2 points at the same time, and then you can use it.
We have the specification and FAQ tabs on every product page, you can find most information of each product. If you still haven't found the answer, you can submit your question on the product page, or drop us an email at Info@rangestorage.com.au, or call us directly at +61 03 8597 0396.
First, you need to check out your device's operating power (measured by watts), if it is no more than the output power of Rangestorage's AC port, it can be supported by Rangestorage’s product.
Then, you can calculate the charging time by the formula: Working time = Rangestorage's capacities * 0.85 / operating power of your device. For reference, assuming power consumption of your device is 60W (might be a box fan), and you want to use the FEM-PB800 to run the box fan. The working time will be 508Wh*0.85/60w=7 hrs (rough calculated). Please note the actual power consumption varies from different usages, consult Rangestorage for better purchase decision.
Unfortunately, you can't. Under FAA regulations you are not allowed to take any battery exceeding 100Wh on a plane.
All Rangestorage portable power station can be recharged by a AC outlet,solar panels or 12/24V Car Cigarette Lighter, some models can be charged via DC port. So Rangestorage portable power station can store the energy collected from the sun, that's why we also call it a solar generator.
All Rangestorage battery-powered products are made by premium lithium-ion battery cells. We only choose the reliable battery suppliers, like LG and BAK Battery.
Modified Sine Wave inverters are very affordable. Using a more basic form of technology than pure sine wave inverters, they produce power which is perfectly adequate for powering simple electronics, like your laptop. Modified inverters are best suited for resistive loads which don't have a start up surge.
Pure sine wave inverters use more sophisticated technology to protect even the most sensitive electronics. Pure sine wave inverters produce power which equals – or is better than – the power in your home. Appliances which may not function properly, or which may be permanently damaged, without pure, smooth power will be safe with pure sine inverters.
Yes. All Rangestorage portable power stations use Pure Sine Wave inverters.
The package includes the AC charger cable and car charger cable. Please check more information on each product page.
Sorry, we don't have a longer extension cable.
The portable power stations (aka. solar generators) is innovative Solar Energy Storage and Supply systems (SESS), that store electricity generated by photovoltaic solar panels, in Lithium-Ion batteries, for then supplying with clean energy to an unlimited number of applications.
Our Solar Generators integrate in one unit what otherwise would be various different components in a traditional solar system. This exceptional feature is made possible thanks to their high-capacity Lithium-Ion batteries. Our Solar Generators are capable of supplying with clean energy to a broad scope of energy requirements.
- MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) charge controller, which allows for the most efficient way to capture solar radiation when charging and therefore the fastest charging time with solar panels.
- Long-lasting Lithium batteries, which do not suffer from memory effect, with high power and energy density, low self-discharge and great depth-discharge.
- Pure-sine-wave inverters that convert DC / AC to power a wide variety of loads.
- These systems do not require maintenance and are very friendly with the environment since they do not produce any emissions.
- Options with and without remote monitoring, single-phase and three-phase.

First, solar generators will run day or night without the need for you to interfere at all.
Second, they will save you a great deal of money over time, as you will spend less money on electricity or petroleum based fuel.
They’re also much better for the environment than their combustion engine equivalents as don’t give off any toxic fumes.
Another great thing is that they’re very easy to install and are silent.
Deciding what size Portable Power Station you need will really depend on what you’re going to use it for. Will it be used at home just in emergency situations? Will it be used to go on camping trips? Will it be used as an at-home standby device that’s plugged into your mains? Once you’ve decided on this, then you need to think about what appliances you need to run during these times.
The main parameters to consider when deciding the size of your solar generator are the battery capacity (Watt-hours), and the inverter’s continuous load rating (Watts).
The lifespan of Lithium-Ion batteries is measured in cycles. A battery cycle count is the number of times the battery is drained and recharged. According to Bluetti, their solar generators have a battery life of 2500+ cycles. In more specific terms, they would retain 80% capacity at 500 cycles and 70% depth of discharge. Past the 1000 cycles the battery will continue to slowly degrade and factors such as depth of discharging and temperature will affect the battery usage.
In order to prolongue the lifespan of the Lithium-Ion batteries, charging them to their maximum capacity and drain them to their lowest capacity is not recommended . A ‘sweet spot’ of charging/discharging them at around 50%, let’s say from 75% to 25% and at an ambient temperature of around 20 ℃ could greatly prolongue the battery life of the system to up-to more than 10,000 cycles or for many years.
The solar generators are agnostic on regards the solar panels that are connected to them. They could be monocrystalline, polycrystalline, foldable or rigid and from virtually any manufacturer or brand, as long as they have MC4 connector in order to enable the connection with the unit’s solar charging cable.
Each unit comes with a solar charging cable (DC to MC4) that allows for a simple straight-forward connection.
The most important thing when connecting the solar panel (or panels) is to not to exceed the maximum PV input voltage and wattage recommended for each model in their user manual (the system will give an error message should that occur).
Make sure the panel (or panels) are shadow free and best positioned for acquiring the most solar radiation.
