Introduction: Hey there, road warriors! Welcome to Road Widgets Test Lab, where we're diving deep into a head-to-head showdown between two middleweight all-in-one portable solar generators: the All Powers R600 and the Zendure SuperBase 600m. Buckle up, as we uncover the hidden differences, test the power output, and push these units to their limits. Let's find out which one emerges as the true middleweight champion for those of us living life on the road.
--->Thanks to Zendure and AllPowers for sending us these power stations to review<---
Meet the Contestants:
All Powers R600:
- 299 watt-hours of lithium iron phosphate battery capacity.
- 600-watt continuous AC inverter with a surge power claim of 1200 watts.
- Weighs in at 16.1 lbs.
Zendure SuperBase 600m:
- A hefty 600 watt-hours of lithium iron phosphate battery capacity.
- 600-watt continuous AC inverter with a 1000-watt surge power.
- Slightly lighter at 14.1 lbs.
Notable Features:
- All Powers R600: Wireless charging, surge power of up to 1200 watts, and maintained a clean sine wave at 60Hz.
- Zendure SuperBase 600m: Double the battery capacity, no cooling fans for a noise-free experience, and the ability to jump-start a vehicle.
Power On:
Testing the Waveform: Both units claim to feature pure sine wave inverters, ensuring a smooth and consistent power output. Powering up the All Powers R600, the oscilloscope reveals a beautiful sine wave at 110 volts, confirming its pure sine wave capabilities. The Zenor Super Bas 600m, while slightly off at around 107.9 volts, still maintains a relatively clean sine wave output.
Load Tests:
All Powers R600: Testing it with a 600-watt waffle iron, the unit handled the load well, with cooling fans kicking in but no degradation in voltage or waveform. However, when pushed to the surge limit with a 200-watt blower, it fell short and shut down.
Zendure SuperBase 600m: With a similar load, the Zendure unit impressed by maintaining a steady output at 581 watts without any visible waveform distortion. When subjected to an 200-watt blower, it outlasted its competitor but eventually succumbed, emphasizing the 600-watt continuous rating.
Final Verdict: Both units lived up to their rated outputs, showcasing reliability in providing clean power for sensitive electronics. The decision between the two depends on personal preferences and specific needs. If wireless charging, surge power, and cleaner sine wave for those sensitive electronics are a priority, the All Powers R600 might be your go-to. However, for those valuing noise-free operation, extended battery life, jump-start capabilities, the Zendure SuperBase 600m takes the lead.
Conclusion: In the world of portable solar generators, the All Powers R600 and Zendure SuperBase 600m prove to be formidable contenders. The testing at Road Widgets Test Lab revealed their strengths and limitations, offering valuable insights for road enthusiasts seeking reliable power solutions. Whether you prioritize extra features or a quieter experience, both units deliver on their promises, making them worthy companions for life on the road. Stay tuned for more in-depth reviews and comparisons as we continue to explore the latest tools and gadgets at the lab. Safe travels, fellow nomads!
