Power station questions

[Carla618]

I bought a power station and portable panels. I think I need more things to make them work. Like an inverter maybe?

If I messed up buying something, I need to find out soon so I can return it.

Here is what I bought:

VTOMAN Jump 600 Portable Power Station 640Wh 600W(1200W Peak), Backup LiFePO4 Battery with 110V AC Outlets, 60W PD, Regulated 12V DC Output

And portable panels: https://a.co/d/40wGY2s

Kinda unrelated but also bought a frig:

You don’t need an inverter to use the power station. It has one built in. Just plug ur AC device into the built in AC sockets. Good to go.

Using the solar panels: you’ll need to make sure the connectors are compatible with the power station. If not you’ll need an adapter. I converted all my solar & batt connectors to Anderson but there’s others and it may not even be an issue for you.

Just looking at the picture on the product pages, it looks like there is an SAE connector on the solar panel. Take the cord that matches that and has an XT60 connector on the other end, and attach that to the matching cord with an XT60 and has a round barrel connector on the other end. The round connector then goes into your power station to charge it. That is in the upper left of the panel, where it says "DC Input 12V-30V". Use one of the DC outputs below it on the lower left to power your fridge. The little barrel connectors are probably best, but the big car plug will work, too. You can use AC also, but DC is more efficient.

May I ask a big favor? Would you be able to measure the height of your fridge from the bottom to the top of the open lid? That would be very helpful.

It's raining again today. I might set it up in the living room. Maybe your words will make more sense with a visual reference. Thank you!

ok. Thanks. I was watching one of Bob's videos last night and he said the power station he was reviewing had a 1000 watt inverter built in. So I looked on the description for mine and it only has a 600 watt inverter, iirc. Discovered that after I posted.

Oh. I forgot it might be in the freezer. I'm in no hurry, so it's okay if you need to wait 'til Spring. Thanks!
