I have put close to 2k in Nitecore flashlights and lamps. I have them for biking, hiking, emergency use, camping. Power station as well as the solar panels could be used just as much and just as often as the flash lights. I have fixed my vehicles, my work van when it has broken down at night and without a flashlight would have been stranded. I have 3 different Nitecore pocket flashlights and always use them depending on what I’m doing for that 24 hour period. I bike a lot and people that see the Nitecore bike light I have are amazed and even purchased one after seeing mine. Having a way to charge them up when power goes out or just a way to have a back up source for small electronics is awesome. Anyone that is a DIY person or a prepper will always find a use for this portable station.

[@andrewfwkelly]

Love the sleek design! I’m turning in to a NiteCore fan as I want the whole range now. I can see this being really useful for camping here in Australia to power lighting and charging portable devices, and even any low power draw cooling units. 😎

[@shnmraari9943]

Construction worker here. Soooooo many times where I was short of power on jobsites and had to rely on batteries and just couldn't make it for the full 10 hour shifts. I have tons of tool batteries but I can go through them in a heart beat. Would be a nice way to charge up. Love your vids. Bought a headlamp, a tini2 and another hc35 in a 7day span 😅

[@NitecoreSG]

Awesome, for those batteries you mentioned that couldn’t make it through, where they powerbanks? Or you were trying to charge your power tools

[@aramoana01]

As a mad keen mountaineer/hunter/fisherman in the South Island of New Zealand this would be the perfect base camp solution for charging all my equipment ( especially my Tiki GITD, NPB1,NPB4 and several NL2150HPI batteries) before setting off on a big adventure. I’ve had heaps of gear from “top shelf” brands over the years but none of it compares to the awesome level of design and lightweight solutions that Nitecore offers. Thanks Nitecore, You guys are top notch!

[@untamedapple]

This would be the perfect set-up for me when I go on long motorcycle trips where I ride and camp along the way. Some times, the countries that I travel in doesn't have available power to charge my devies for quite some distance, so this battery pack with the solar panels will give me peace of mind to know that when ever I need power, I have it.

[@dsmith14k]

After the big freeze in Texas this past year it would be quite the valuable tool....most gas stations in my area were out of gas so my gas generator was not very useful. But other than power outages during storms it would be great to take on long camping trips. This channel is so informative I'm glad I came across it. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@kimhakleng4579]

i just got married and we are planning a road trip around my country Cambodia :D i already got 3 night core lights the tm26 tm39 and the p20ix and the power station this would make charging everything so much easier and help us a bunch !

[@barmbyboyou]

This is super useful for me when doing Maintained Load Test which requires me to stay on construction site for 3 days. Currently using car battery as power source for my led light bulbs. But that does not solve my phone battery issues as it doesn't last for 3 days. This will surely be a huge step up in my workflow

[@chickendave9499]

Every review of yours I watch I have to update my christmas list. I live in queensland, literally called 'the sunshine state' so I'm sure the panels would work a treat. Im always draining my torches before the end of a camping trip so I love the fact you can plug them straight into the panel. The power station would be invaluable for the eleventy seven different camping power devices I seem to have accumulated. Keep the reviews coming they're awesome.

[@christiecoats33]

I just have a 300W Solar Generator but I am researching Solar Panels. I bought it to have in my bedroom for a low wattage heater, blanket or fan. I plan to buy a larger 2000(?) Watt to have for my kitchen. I live in Texas and many people lost electricity February 2021. I am alone, 64 and I used as little power as possible ( to conserve for others) with coats & blankets. I am in the process of educating myself & prepping for emergencies. I live in a tiny 2 room apartment in a quadplex so I think that I can do well!

[@ClausArdal]

I would use it on phototrips to be completely offgrid for several days and still charge a laptop, lights, camera equipment. You guys make awesome products!

[@Vtfilamguy]

I would use this set up for camping and beach trips during the summer and it would be my emergency battery backup during winter storm season for lighting

[@edwardlord2234]

Always excited by Nitecore products. This product would be a nice edition to keep my flashlights and other equipment charged during work. The solar panel would be awesome for my travels. Nice video my go to spot!

[@thanoswow]

I am soon going to start overlanding and camping and I have nothing as of yet. I know for sure I would charge up my phone, my nitecore flashlights(TM26, E4k). I love the channel. Keep up the good work on the reviews!

[@ANGELSRAGE77]

Living in south Florida I would use this for my hurricane preparedness kit. This would be an essential item to have.

[@chucknimrodlim5024]

Im from Cebu, Philippines. We just got hit by the strongest typhoon of 2021 last december, typhoon Odette. I got NPS 400 since there is still no electricity for weeks already, but no supply on solar panel. I’ll use it for basic phone & light charging mainly for my family use, and mobilization to assist in relief goods.

[@rdproductions1061]

I shoot for the Singapore-based science and wildlife channel Just Keep Thinking and it's not always easy to find a power source with how much we shoot outdoors. It'll be sweet to have this for specific shoots like off-shore island adventures!

[@moxsteel7195]

Nitecore is my go to light, they are incredible! I have a camping trip coming up and I’m looking to get a power box and solar panels (actually just left REI). I want to power a cooler of some sort if I can do that I don’t have to bring another battery with me. I would also love to have a power box to give me power for camping lights, charging my drone and cameras I use when out on the trail. Came to your channel looking for a good camping light and saw this give away, fingers crossed!!

[@sleepingslightly]

I'd use it at the beach daily, but also for emergency blackout situations. Such a useful package would be perfect for living here in Hawaii

[@Randomactivities2.0]

I've had this idea of making different attachments for vape mods. Alot of them can run up to 200 watts and are full of safety stuff. And yall are always tinkering with cool stuff. I figured it's a huge untaped market of tiny power banks used only for vapeing but I think small attachments with the 510/710 thread adapters could be handy. Wind proof lighters , flashlights , tazer , aroma therapy , laser pointer , coffee cream foamer. Or just make a battery pack with a whip with a 510/710 thread so you cold have hands free vaping. Just some ideas I've had. Itd be cool to see a USB cable with a small power controll know built in for vape mods so you can vape off any battery pack. Lol. Thanks for the lumenating content.

[@roc3671]

I'll use it in my farm in Paraguay. We are off grid so solar is a must but unitl now I'm not able to afford a set up like this :( I'd use it for charging my MH11, Klarus E2 and Olight S1 baton mini, AA batterries for my 3 trail cams acting as security cams, my computer and iPad and perhaps for some generic rechargable LED bulbs. I´ve entered in Nitecore world for your videos. Keep going :)

[@irwankasmani0307]

I love mountain climbing and camping. i would use it during camping trips to charge lights and other essential electronics. Its cumbersome to carry multiple power banks when camping out during mountain hikes. Cheap ones dont work well at all. Most of my gears are Nitecore. I guess this should be one of my next one.

[@Hanesy]

Nitecore products never fails to amaze me. Specially to this reviewer. Thank you ❤️👍

[@user-ft4dx5eq8l]

This is very useful for very long trip with bike in the nature. There's no need to worry about power off GPS or smartphone.

[@feimrse]

I have been looking to get into solar for a while and figured a good start would be a solar generator. Like many others I would use it for outdoor outings, camping and more important in the case of a power outage. Thank you for opportunity! 🔆 Appreciate the channel.

[@gorbash07]

Electricity is a luxury in certain areas here in the Philippines. Portable power stations would be a huge help for students who needs to be online (because of the pandemic) consistently for their studies. It can power computers and gadgets for that specific requirement.

[@ronaldimus]

Nice products. I will use it during camping and outreach programs of our group.

[@BrettPexx]

I've been interested in solar power options for awhile now and this video popped up I would love to pick up some of these for extended term camping out on the range Thanks for reviewing these it's awesome having an informative channel about solar!

[@NitecoreSG]

Glad it helps!

[@geminiclouda.d755]

Would love to use this for camping next year.

[@johnraybenitez3440]

Living in place in the Philippines where just a big down pour would turn out to brown out, this would be really helpful!

[@johnnyv.223]

I'm interested in using solar pwr to connect with other amateur radio operators, and your giveaway would get me into that arena! Thank you for another video about batteries, solar power, and battery charging. So much I don't know about.

[@gucky4717]

With such a Powerstation one could watch a full Movie anywhere with a Beamer and a Laptop on a big screen. Solar and compact but dense batteries are the future for the person that likes to roam.

[@clifftonsaridjan7785]

Love the build of the powerstation. thank you brother for this video. Please keep us informed of new products like these.

[@matthewkilner]

These things are getting very useful now. I should really pick up a decent solar panel. I'm trying to get the family into camping. But the kid needs his tablet so that we can get him to sit still sometimes. Plus if we could keep our batteries charged, it would be nice to know we've got entertainment when it rains (we're in the UK. It's definitely going to rain at some point).

[@z-collector7518]

I have HC65 - love it! Thanks Nitecore!

[@tangenquattro]

Very informative video. I would use it as a backup for electricity outage and for camping/outdoor activity when i need power for cameras and laptops.

[@lukelim5094]

I am going to setup my live stream cameras and videography equipments with these portable power. Like wow .

[@ARSM93]

I like the compact design of the portable battery

[@blackhawk3389]

Great as usual, l'm picking up one soon after an intensive market search for a power station ill rather go with nitecore and stay safe in the woods . Ill most likely power my 60L fridge charge my tablet, GPS, drone, mobile phone , heat blanket etc..at the end you cant go wrong with Nitecore.

[@RockerMtl1]

Very nice kits ! Good to see more of these power banks on the market ! Thanks for the video

[@ZxExN]

Hello from Canada. Been thinking about moving towards a power station and solar panel setup instead of a generator. I would probably use this on family trips to during an emergency, charge the 50 or so flashlight lol

[@maddinton]

Hello from SG! So excited to see the power station. I'm planning for a weekend car camping and this handy solar panel would help to charge my power banks that I use to power up the various gadgets! Am interested in the NES1200 when it rolls out cause of the higher capacity. NES500 is good but NES1200 will meet my power requirements better! Wondering is there any reason why you guys decided on 1200 and not 1500? :)

[@NitecoreSG]

Hello! Yes has to do with the batteries inside, it’s physical size capacity.

[@benstraw1724]

Very informative video. I would use it when we are out and about camping to charge our essential electronics.

[@nikzs9]

Thats a very nice equipment! It will keep my computer running, I can work even there is power outage in our place.

[@highlanderes]

I will use it to keep my laptop running in the field, and with my preparedness setup, to keep important devices for communication and lighting running.

[@Totototo-nr8dh]

Hello, I will using it to power raspberry during day :D. So cool!

[@reopru]

That combo would be perfect for camping! I could charge all my devices - phone, smartwatch … you name it!

[@joekasperek1086]

Wow this would be awesome I would use it at the hunting cabin where there is no power and also at home where the power seems to go out quite frequently in our neighborhood for some reason which is very irritating. Thanks and good luck everyone

[@Jedmister]

I'd use it to keep my devices topped up during weekend outings. Sun sand beach and Power station. ESP outdoor movie night with portable projector.

[@sewyenjung2500]

This setup would be great for medium/long term preparedness to cover charging mobile phones, flashlights and the occasional use of fan and most importantly, a small DC fridge for the perishables.

[@pustoolio4zim849]

I was thinking of getting a backup power source and I love the Nightcore lights I have purchased. Will be looking into this one.

[@JustaCuriousity]

Hi, i think surges are important too. Demo will be appreciated. Thank you.

[@TwitchRadio]

😔 Aww, I missed it.. Looks good though, would test the hell out of it in my ham radio station set up though 😁👍💯

[@Ron_Esc]

Bought a couple of flashlights from Nightcore last week. Was a fan since Day 1 as we use the lights going around the farm for protection. We have a problem as powerlines do not reach us so we do not have lights or power. I saw this and this would be a really really great tool for us as it could charge itself thru solar power. More power to Nightcore!

[@jeffreyrejas7920]

Planning to have this as back up set for my mom's place. We experience constant blackout.

[@alexronaldinho12]

I would use this for camping! Power up all my lights!

[@kiwiperspective8656]

It would be the center piece of a grid down situation. But most likely used for car camping to run lights, phones and music.

[@thewhitewolffl]

During blackouts, I would run a small freezer / fridge and charge, my phone a bunch of 18650s and other batteries.

[@chuckking9189]

i would use it for overland car camping and when power goes out at home

[@harispats2783]

Hello man i am from greece and i found you random in the youtube by the way i love your channel is very detailing about the products of nitecore and i want to ask a big favor if you have time to make a video showing as how the 2 solar panels of nitecore can charge with the cable you showing as the powerstation 1200 thank you and i wish you the best of luck

[@NitecoreSG]

Will do a dual panel video soon!

[@artemiodelis9388]

Need to know the life cycles of battery? Thanks 👍

[@redcore1494]

I really love nitecore product ,but i never had one. I see it useful cause having a difficult life cant afford one. And in my case, we dont have electricity because they cut it off due to high electricity bill. I really wish to have this one soon..and i hope you see my message .thanks and godbless.

[@tecnog7007]

Review on nitecore solar panel pls. Hope nitecore will build entry level panels

[@christopherdenny595]

Love your videos very educating !!!

[@destinationbushcraft1833]

Just purchased a set from you! Shipping from Singapore to Australia in 9 days. Not bad. Can't wait to test it out :) QUESTION: will it have the power adapter for Australia and the ability to plug in Australian appliances into the output port???

[@NitecoreSG]

Hey we actually can’t ship the powerstations worldwide but everything else is possible. If you need it in aus plug you need to order it from your local Nitecore distributor. They should have the right model

[@destinationbushcraft1833]

@@NitecoreSG so my order was cancelled??

[@NitecoreSG]

@@destinationbushcraft1833 yes cancelled. Power-stations can’t be shipped by air. You have to get them from your local distributor. The solar panels and everything else is still ok

[@kirill_tsvet_kov]

it would be great to use this combo when traveling in a minivan!

[@Roombabiden]

Use it to charge my phone to watch more nitcore lights videos.

[@007tennispro]

This would be perfect for my pop-up camper with my grandchildren while they are playing games and watching movies. Of course, I keep asking myself, why am I taking them camping if I can't get them out of the camper? Nevertheless, I need something like this... Thanks.

[@WhitelyBlack]

Great explainer and examples provided. Question: can the temperature inside a parked car in Singapore exceed 40 degrees Celsius ? I want to run my dash cam on the power station 24/7 and ocassionally power a water kettle . What's the power station heat dissipation like?

[@NitecoreSG]

Yes in Singapore 1-2pm sun it will get that hot. The powerstation has its own set of fans to remove heat out the sides, but if your sealed car has no where for the heat to go, it will heat up for sure. Dash cam and water kettle no problem, it’s just where you’ll place the powerstation. If you always park in sheltered carparks, no prob 👍

[@TheDefender2323]

Powering the car fridge for cold beers!!!!!!! Should I get this or wait for the 1200

[@redjeans28]

I would want to power my outdoor led lights and 1860 berries. I wish to have this 100w panel please!

[@OutdoorPrep]

SPM 10 is no longer available. Do you know what else I could use with the waterproof panel to charge USB devices?

[@AskIveSolar]

Where can I find the nitecore spm10 solar meter for purchase? Does it come with another product? Which?

[@user98u4r3]

Getting sick of working from home. I want this setup so that I can work from the lush serenity of the beach throughout the day!

[@yaojingyong]

This setup is good for camping and in prolonged power cut during emergency. Solar power is unlimited.

[@markpetercabilicabili9558]

In case, id like to power lights, fans and charge gadgets outdoors. Hoping to stay several days outgrid hence the need of solar charging.

[@shilov59]

Hi, Explane to me please why you indicate in the technical data that AC Output in NPS600 220V Version is 300W, 600 surge, but AC Output in NES500 220V is 500W, 1000 surge? Is it right? In my opinion NPS600 more powerful and effective than NES500.
