Blackfire portable#

The Blackfire PAC505 portable power station is priced at US$499.99. The 60W solar panel is an excellent addition because it allows you to charge the unit while still running it. Overall, the battery life is 500Wh which is plenty of juice for most people. Recharging times will also vary by how you charge: It performed well, and I used it several times before recharging. I wasn’t too hard on this unit I only asked that it charge my camera batteries, laptop, phone, some lighting, and drone batteries. If you’re asking the Blackfire PAC505 for a lot of juice, well, it will give you that juice and run down faster. Power users could always pick up two or opt for a larger unit that will cost more and weigh more.īattery life is one of those it depends on your use case things. The unit is rugged and lightweight and has plenty of port options and power for most users. Overall, the design of the Blackfire PAC505 portable power station is aimed at average users who want to be able to plug things in while camping or fishing. And that can come in handy if you’re out without access to either.

It will save you from recharging in the car or the house. I would say the solar panel is something you should add to this purchase. There is a nice handle and a pouch that houses the power supply and cable, which you plug into the front input of the PAC505 to charge it via solar.

The panels are encased in a canvas covering that acts as a suitcase. But Blackfire does offer a bundle with the PAC505 and 60W panels for US$649.98. This unit on its own is an extra cost of US$199.99.

With 60W solar panel and Bluetooth speaker mounted on the side.īlackfire also included the 60W solar panel charger with our review unit. While there are other larger portable power stations on the market, many weigh more than double the PAC505, and some users may find them too heavy to move around comfortably. The Blackfire PAC505 weighs just over 12lbs and is super light and portable with minimal effort. While the PAC505 has fewer ports and plugs than some bigger units, there is plenty for the average user. The front has a backlit display, 12V input/output, charging input, two USB-A 2.4 ports, two USB-C 3.0 ports, and two household 120 VAC ports. The back of the PAC505 has a chart showing what the front display icons mean that is brilliant! The bottom of the Blackfire PAC505 portable power station has four orange rubber feet that keep the unit firmly in place. Blackfire sent one along with this unit, and it fits on snug and works reasonably well for its size. The left side of the PAC505 has a mount point to which you can place a Klein Tools Bluetooth speaker. The fans can get pretty loud when they are on, a little annoying but also necessary. The right side of the Blackfire PAC505 has a fan and vent to keep the unit cool. There is certainly room on the top for at least two wireless charging pads maybe they’ll integrate that into the next version. There is no Qi wireless charging on the top of the unit, which is a missed opportunity by Blackfire. It is very comfortable to hold, and I like that Blackfire gave it a handle like this instead of handles on either side. The top is flat and has a fold-away carrying handle with a rubberized grip. It’s black in color all the way around, except for some trim pieces accented in orange. The entire thing is comprised of high-quality plastics, rubber, and some metal. The Blackfire PAC505 portable power station is far more compact and lighter than I expected, which is a good thing.
