The OSCAL PowerMax series is OSCAL's flagship lineup of high-capacity, expandable portable power stations (also called solar generators) designed for home backup, off-grid living, camping, RV use, emergencies, and heavy-duty appliances. They use durable LiFePO4 batteries (for safety and 3500+ cycles to 80% capacity), feature modular expandability (up to 57.6kWh in many models by adding extra battery packs), pure sine wave inverters, fast charging (AC + solar hybrid), and rugged builds with wide temperature tolerance (−20°C to 55°C or similar).
Local market certifications FCC/DOE/CEC/UL.
PowerMax 1800SE (entry in the high-output range):
-
Key Specs
- Battery Capacity: 1024Wh (LiFePO4 cells for safety/longevity — 3,500+ cycles to 80% capacity, up to ~10+ years with proper care).
- Output Power: 1800W continuous (rated), 3600W surge/peak — handles most household appliances (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, power tools, lights, laptops, etc.) without overload in most cases.
- Inverter: Pure sine wave (clean, safe power for sensitive electronics like medical devices or TVs).
-
Ports/Outputs:
- 3 × AC outlets (1800W max each/total).
- 2 × USB-C (100W PD max each — great for fast laptop/phone charging).
- USB-A ports (15W + 18W).
- Likely DC outputs (car port, etc.) and wireless charging in some variants.
-
Charging:
- AC input: Up to 800W (0-80% in ~1 hour; full in ~1.5-2 hours).
- Solar input: Up to 800W (fast solar recharge — pairs excellently with one or two PM400 panels for ~400-800W solar input in good Calgary sun).
- Other: Car charging support.
-
Features:
- Expandable? Some listings mention scalability (e.g., to 2048Wh with extra battery pack), but core model is 1024Wh standalone.
- App control (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi for monitoring, scheduling, remote on/off).
- UPS mode (fast switchover ~8-10ms for seamless backup during outages).
- Lightweight & portable: ~15.5 kg (34 lbs) — much lighter than similar-capacity competitors (e.g., 25% smaller/lighter claims).
- BMS safety system, IP-rated elements for outdoor durability.
- Dimensions/Weight: Compact briefcase-style (exact dims vary but portable with handles).
This model is positioned as a "lighter body, wilder power" option—great mid-range choice between smaller units and beasts like the PowerMax 6000.
- 5 years warranty.
