Mine doesn't say that. (recently purchased). Here's part of their ad. UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY】: IFORWAY newly upgraded solar power generator not only supports pass-through charging, which can be discharged while charging, energy saving and continuous powered. It does state "newly upgraded". Maybe that was the upgrade...that doesn't work so well?

Gracias @Zippy por tu opinión. Me sirve mucho para decidir esperar de momento en comprar esta unidad a irme a por el ecoflow aunque tenga menor capacidad

Hey mate I'm experiencing similar issues, except mine is with the DC output. I have a 12v car fridge that I was running of the cig lighter output. It was happy as, until I plugged in a solar panel and then I came back to it and the fridge was off. Pretty confused, I thought the fridge has a hissy fit or got too hot or something so I tried again (was a hot day outside). I think it worked for a bit, then stopped again. Now the DC output section can be turned on, but there are no volts at all coming out the cig lighter or the other two DC outputs. Wondering if I can hold the DC button down for a few seconds and reset it like you did with the AC section? The fridge seems to be happy running of an AC output while the solar is plugged in which is good I guess. But it's fairly pointless in an off-grid situation if I am running a fridge or computer etc and can't charge it at the same time (weather that be by the DC input from the truck or solar).

If you read the reviews on this unit, numerous people stated having issues with the OVERLOAD light popping on. I bought one of these, plugged in my chest freezer (195w), and the OVERLOAD light immediately came on. After that, I could neither charge the battery from AC, or power anything with AC. Dead. They immediately sent me another. This one seems to work well, but will throw the OVERLOAD light if I try to power my freezer while charging the battery from AC. In testing, I found it didn't mind powering a 75w lamp while charging from the wall. There is most definitely something going on there. They know about this issue. I noticed that they are now literally giving them away for $450.
