The updated Mango Power E power station addresses numerous issues from its predecessor, leading to significant enhancements in user experience and functionality. Key features include a powerful 3,000-watt pure sine wave inverter, a 3.5-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, various USB and DC outlets, and four AC outlets. The design improvements feature better ventilation, a strengthened handle, built-in wheels, and various power input ports for solar and AC connectivity.
The user setup involves an easy-to-use app that successfully connects via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing remote operation and monitoring. The presenter demonstrates charging the battery with solar panels, which functions correctly even on a cloudy day. A full charge was attained using both solar and AC power, followed by a thorough discharge test showing reliable performance metrics.
Additional tests confirm the efficacy of both AC and DC outputs, including USB ports and a cigarette lighter port, which all perform as expected. Although there are minor drawbacks like the hard plastic wheels and a more difficult-to-access side panel, the comprehensive improvements and competitive pricing make the new Mango Power E power station a robust and reliable option. The company's responsiveness to feedback and continuous product upgrades have been well-received by users.

In this part of the video, the reviewer highlights the improvements made to the Mango Power E power station following issues with the first version. The updated model now works perfectly. The power station arrives in a large, heavy box, necessitating careful handling or assistance. Inside are two cables (an MC4 solar panel connector and an AC wall plug), a warranty card, and informational material. The key features include a 3,000-watt pure sine wave inverter, a 3.5-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, a touch color screen, various USB and DC outlets, and four AC outlets capable of producing up to three kilowatts. These enhancements aim to deliver a better user experience.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses the design and features of the Mango Power portable unit. They explain the air slits for ventilation, a robust rubber handle, and built-in wheels that facilitate mobility. On the back, there is another handle that can be extended and retracted. They also point out the power input ports, including a solar input (2000 watts max) and an AC grid input (3000 watts max), along with various e-links and the e-plus port. The presenter notes improvements from a previous unit, particularly in the flexibility and functionality of the handle and ports. They power on the unit, showing a display that initializes and indicates a 65% charge. Additionally, they mention that Mango Power has addressed a prior issue with the solar cable’s negative lead. Finally, they highlight new instructions for operating the unit, including a button for accessing more information from the display.

In this part of the video, the presenter is setting up a power station and its associated app. They start by scanning a QR code from the information packet to install the app, then proceed to register an account and add the device using the product’s serial number. The presenter successfully connects the power station to the app, noting an issue in the previous version where the app would not connect. They observe that the power station’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi icons activate, showing synchronization between the app and the device.
Next, they demonstrate turning on the AC and DC through the app, confirming that the app functions correctly. The presenter then connects the power station to solar panels using an aviation plug, despite it being a cloudy day. They monitor the device’s display, noting it shows varying levels of input wattage from the solar panels. The presenter confirms that the power station charges successfully from solar input, increasing the battery’s charge level.

In this segment of the video, the presenter describes their process for preparing a solar battery for a discharge test. They charge the battery up to 100% using a combination of solar power and an AC plug connected to an off-grid inverter, carefully managing the load to avoid overloading the inverter. After encountering an issue where the inverter kicked out both power sources, they reset the system and confirmed the battery reached full charge. With the battery at 100%, they proceed to set up a discharge test using a kilowatt meter and a heater to measure time and power output consistently.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the presenter is testing a heater and tracking the time using both the display on the unit and a cell phone stopwatch. The heater outputs 1428 Watts, and the display initially shows an estimated running time of two hours and eight minutes. The presenter confirms this estimate by performing a manual calculation, arriving at a closely matching expected runtime of two hours and ten minutes.
During the test, at one hour and forty minutes, the heater’s display shows it has 22% battery remaining with 27 minutes left to go. The heater eventually shuts off after running for one hour and fifty-two minutes, slightly earlier than expected. The kilowatt meter indicates a usage of 2.65 kilowatt hours during this time.
Next, the presenter tests the DC output by turning on a 12-volt load which powers an air compressor. The compressor pulls significant amperage and runs almost immediately as expected, with a power draw of nearly 100 Watts, confirming that the DC output is functioning correctly.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates plugging a flashlight into different USB ports and confirms that the USB 3.0 and USB Type-C ports are working properly with respective wattage displays. He also verifies that the cigarette lighter port can power a compressor. The presenter then provides a detailed overview of the Mango Power E power station, highlighting its competitive pricing, display features, variety of outlets, and robust construction. He mentions improvements over previous models, such as fixed shutdown issues, improved solar charging cable continuity, and a functioning app, which includes useful features like remote control of AC and DC output via mobile devices. The presenter also notes the straightforward connection process to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the connectivity limitations between devices but appreciates the ability to check the state of charge and perform some functions remotely using the Wi-Fi app, which also allows for unit updates. They note that the newer model has a more difficult-to-open side panel for accessing charging ports compared to the previous model, possibly due to feedback. They warn that the small, hard plastic wheels could scratch nice floors. The speaker is pleased with the company’s responsiveness and improvements based on feedback. Finally, they provide information on where to find more details about the product.
