VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500 Portable Power Station 5

I have spoken before about how temperamental our power supply can be, as one neighbour put it, a squirrel’s fart can cause a power cut. Thankfully for us it means getting the torches out and having to talk to each other instead of watching tv, for others it is critical to always maintain a power supply. The FlashSpeed 1500 is a powerful and portable power station designed for people who need reliable electricity away from home or as a backup during power cuts. The design certainly robust and well-built and is packed with features that offers a mix of power, speed, and flexibility.

The FlashSpeed 1500 has a 1548-watt hour capacity, giving it enough energy to run large appliances such as fridges, power tools. For example it can keep a fridge running for up to 36hr, Tv for up to 16hrs and even your microwave or dish washer for an hour or two, as well as multiple smaller devices at once. It can deliver up to 1500 watts of continuous power, with a surge output of 3000 watts for short bursts when starting demanding equipment. This makes it a versatile option for both home and outdoor use.
One of its biggest strengths is its rapid recharge speed. It can charge from empty to full in about one hour using the main power connection, which is far faster than many similar products, it’s faster than my laptop which just seems impossible. It can also be charged through solar panels (sold separately) or a DC input, giving more flexibility when mains power is not available. The large range of output ports includes standard AC sockets, USB-A and USB-C ports, DC outlets, and a car style 12V socket, allowing you to power several devices at once.

The unit uses a lithium iron phosphate battery, known for its long lifespan and safety. It also includes built in protection against overheating, overcharging, and short circuits, which gives added peace of mind. The FlashSpeed 1500 has a UPS function that automatically switches in 20ms if the mains power fails, making it useful during power cuts. You can even connect an additional battery to double its capacity.

The main drawbacks are its size and weight, as it is quite heavy to carry, and the cooling fan can be a little noisy. Even so, the FlashSpeed 1500 is an excellent choice for anyone wanting a dependable, long lasting power source that charges quickly and performs well in almost any situation. RRP £1299
