GOKKCL portable power stations with up to 2,000 W power and solar charging begin crowdfunding
The GOKKCL portable power station is crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Two models are available, the GOKKCL 1200 and the GOKKCL 2000, with maximum AC outputs of 1,200 W and 2,000 W, respectively. Other outputs on the device include one 150 W DC, four 12 W USB-A and two 100 W USB-C ports. The lower-powered gadget has a 960 Wh capacity, and the higher-powered model has a 1,997 Wh LiFePO4 battery, allowing you to power a 65 W fridge for 30 hours or fully charge a 50 Wh laptop 39 times.
The power pack is expected to last for around 3,000 cycles and can be fully recharged in two hours via a wall outlet. Alternatively, you can charge the gadget via an up to 400 W solar panel input. Plus, a built-in LCD shows information such as charging level and output power. The larger portable yellow gadget measures 386 x 275 x 306 mm (~15.2 x 10.8 x 12.0-in) and weighs 22 kg (~48.5 lbs), while the smaller model measures 386 x 225 x 317 mm (~15.2 x 8.9 x 12.5-in) and weighs just 12.5 kg (~27.6 lbs).
You can currently pledge HK$4,255 (~US$545) to the campaign to receive the GOKKCL 1200 portable power station or HK$6,425 (~US$824) for the GOKKCL 2000. The products are expected to retail for US$899 and US$1,399, respectively, in the future. The gadgets ship globally from Hong Kong, with deliveries expected in January.
