Great little package

A very nice and well made unit. Powerful enough for my needs. Just for my phone and laptop and camera. My only disappointment was the DC port to plug in a solar panel is 5.5 mm. They sell a 4.5 mm for this unit, but it takes a 5.5mm. The 300 comes with a 5.5mm to use a solar panel. Even the manual states a 5.5mm dc port. I bought the 4.5mm that doesn’t work and had to buy another cable that was 5.5mn dc to use my panel!
I bought this to run my CPAP machine in my camper. I have an off-road camper and I dry camp whenever possible instead of staying in campgrounds. It can power my Airsense 10 and charge all my devices with no issues. I also have a Renogy 200w suitcase solar panel and I keep my camper battery and my power station charged with this. The setup works very well.
Please realize and don’t stress like me, that the power station has a built in charge controller. So does my portable solar panel. You need to bypass the solar panel charge controller to make the sunshine magic happy.
This compact power station is easy to carry with the wide handle. It was 75% charged out of the box. It charged my Samsung PS camera incredibly fast, much faster than when I use the camera AC adapter to charge it. It also charged my smartphone quickly.
The LED emergency lights in the handle are very bright and include 2 flashing modes. All switches and LED indicator lights work. I also bought the E.Flex 50W Portable Solar Panel which included the MC4 to 5.5mm cable to connect them with. The Phoenix200 Power Station is the good quality Renogy product that I expected. I am thrilled with my purchase and I would buy from Renogy again.
I received swift customer service via email from Judith when I had a question before my purchase.
Small but powerful plenty of juice to fill up my iPhone 12 mini about seven or eight times and that’s on the original charge from the factory not recharging it from my wall
Great entry level 200 watt generator for hiking, camping and outdoor fun. Offers AC-DC and USB connectivity and emergency lighting built in. Voltage control and AC and Solar recharging are simple to do. Charges my phone and power bank quickly. Silent operation with simple power level display built in. I use it with the Renogy E-Flex 50 solar panel.
