VTOMAN Jump 2200 Portable Power Station 4.5

We regularly have power cuts where we live it was never really an issue until we had children. If the power goes out now, everyone panics, grownups can handle the dark, cereal for dinner and lack of Bluey on telly but these things are not acceptable for two under fives! The VTOMAN Jump 2200 is a powerful portable power station aimed at people who want a strong and dependable energy source without relying on the mains. It is also well suited to camping, outdoor work and long trips where you need a reliable source of electricity. It delivers a continuous output of 2200 watts from a pure sine wave supply, virtually identical to mains power, which means it can run more demanding household items without trouble. It also offers a peak output of 4400 watts for short bursts when a device needs extra starting power.

Inside the unit sits a large 1548 watt LiFePO4 battery. This type of battery is known for long life and stable performance, and VTOMAN claims it can last more than 3,000 charge cycles before it drops to eighty per cent capacity. You can also expand the total storage by connecting an extra battery, which can take the overall capacity to more than 3000 watt hours. This gives plenty of room for longer trips or heavier use.

Charging options are generous. You can plug it into a wall socket, charge from a car input or connect solar panels for renewable power. For output, the Jump 2200 provides twelve ports in total, including standard AC sockets, USB A, USB C, DC outputs and a car lighter connection, which makes it easy to power many devices at once.

There are a few thoughtful extras as well. The unit can act as a car jump starter, which is very handy in an emergency, and it includes a bright LED light for outdoor use. A built-in battery management system offers protection against overcharge, overheating and other risks.
The main drawback is weight. At around 17kg it is not the most portable unit to carry for long distances. Even so, the VTOMAN Jump 2200 stands out as a strong and dependable choice for anyone who needs serious portable power. RRP €549
