If you are a photographer who works remotely, shoots all day events, do not have access to electricity, or many devices require electricity, a powerhouse such as Greece H2400 H2400 2400W portable power station is valuable. Even better, it is also a UPS. All this is going on.
Some of you need to have your camera and drone battery. And some of you need to power the laptop for editing or tethard shooting, portable strobes and flash unit, and constant LED lights for videos. And many of us also need to keep cells or satellite phones, walkie-talks, and perhaps small heaters and that all the important coffee makers have been operated. The Greece is capable of doing this and more. With 2,400W capacity, it can also provide electricity to refrigerators, cooking equipment, power equipment and all those-important disco lights. Even better, you can also use it to charge the EV vehicle.
2,400W units will be extremely useful for such disaster preparations, electrical outages, gold, camps and various residential and commercial applications in the car.
About Greece
Greece Explains that they provide you “green, portable power solutions” to eliminate your power outage problems with our renewable energy storage products. “They manufacture power stations, solar panels and even motorcycle batteries.
build quality
The heavy unit weighing in 55 pounds (about 25 kg) feels solid. There are two strong handles to lift it. The unit is stacked, and the perimeter with the top has a modest lip and rings with rubber to reduce slipping. There are also four low-profile rubber legs at the bottom of the unit.
features
This unit has the following specifications and general information Greece Government product page And included H2400 user manual.
Above
The switching of Greece 10 ms is equipped with a uninterrupted power supply over time. The inclusion of APS distinguishes it from several other 2,400 W power stations at its normal value point. When the portable station is connected to the AC, you can run the device using AC output without any interruption when the power outage or voltage sag or surge.
Charge through AC, solar and car
Grecell charges for full capacity in about two hours from an AC outlet. According to the manufacturer, you can also charge at least in three hours with 800 W solar panel, depending on sunlight. This allows you to dual charge using both AC and solar panels, which has been claimed for 1.8 hours. And finally, you can also charge it through a car cigar socket.
Wallet
The on/off button requires that you push the button for several seconds before the power is active. This reduces the possibility of accidentally activating the unit.
DC, USB (C and A), and metal buttons for AC output are all clearly labels. The buttons do not light up when active. However, the LCD display indicates that you have activated the respective output.
I was initially wondered what the mode button did. It turns out that it enables you to charge at a low rate. When active, a leaf symbol appears on the LCD screen. If you are not in a hurry, you can charge at a low rate to put less stress on battery cells. This feature enables you to maximize the long -term service life of the battery. Good. When it is, the output watt falls from 1,200 W to 300 W.
LCD screen
In use, I found that the LCD screen is very readable in bright light. In fact, even when the backlight leaves to save power, the display is still stunning, even in bright light. The displayed information is useful, in which the percentage of charge is left and how much time remains. This latter number, of course, depends on which devices are plugged and how much power they are making.
Charging output
You can simultaneously strengthen eleven tools. It includes two 12V/5A DC output, a 12V/10A car cigarette lighter-style charging outlet, two 5-20V/5.0A PD 100 W type C, two 18 W USB QC 3.0 (type a), and four 110V/2,400W AC output. Includes an Anderson to MC3 cable (solar panel cable), an AC charger, a car charger, a user manual and a cable storage bag.
lights
The power station has a 5 W LED light located behind the unit. Pushing the button enables you to ride cycling through different types of lights, including glowing lights to indicate emergency conditions. There is such a small draw on a 5 W light battery, it seems that you can keep this light shining for the next 20,000 years! No, I did not test it for this. There are four ventilation ports on the sides to keep things cool. Fans are often active when charging.
Lifepo4 Battery
Lifepo4 cells regularly offer much better protection (possibility of fire holding or fire), lifetime and temperature resistance than lithium ion batteries. This chemistry allows the battery to bear 3,000+ cycles while maintaining 80% capacity, which is the industry standard for the battery lifetime.
The negative side is that the traditional lithium-ion battery has a greater energy density, which is in plain English that a small size battery can pack more power as its lifepo4 counterpart. Nevertheless, if you are regularly using a big thing as a battery of 2,400 W, the extra weight is a proper trade for longevity and safety.
Use and image example
Hair dryer is not the first thing you use with a power station. They require high watt capacity to work, and they suck a lot of juices. And I thought, if I could run a hair dryer, I would definitely be able to run a large capacity refrigerator.

I tilted a cone 1,875 W Hair Dryer, replaced at low and maximum. The output indicated that it was drawing 1,623 watts and it could give it strength for an hour. I ran it for five minutes, and during that time the charge of the battery changed by 99%.
Thumbs for UPS
I plugged the Greece to the wall, then operated a light through the AC outlet. I then rejected the unit. UPS was really uninterrupted. Light never falls. A UPS unit can be tilted for computers, laptops, audio equipment, or other devices, which you need to operate in power outage or should be closed manually manually. UPS mode works with only four AC outlets. This car does not work with charger or USB port.
Desert
During a one -night photography shoot in the Mojave Desert, I brought it with me and placed it on a picnic table so that a small group can charge its light and camera battery. I also tilted a table light at the top to ever see what they were doing. No one had EV this evening, so we did not have a chance to test it.
One of the participants of the workshop asked if it charges the phone in a wireless manner. If this does not happen.
The cover around the USB chargers usually requires an additional push to completely seal when a cable is not to keep the dust out. The AC cover seems sufficient, as they have a spring that seals them properly. In the desert, this is a good thing.
What did i like
-
UPS is very good over 10 MS switching time to give strength to many computers, equipment, or other devices, and just makes it a tool alone that you can use on a daily basis.
-
Excellent LCD screen is also easy to see in bright light and reading is easy.
-
The mode button enables you to charge at a lower rate, thus preserving the long -term life of the battery.
-
It is simple to use.
-
It is made concretely.
-
Relatively quick charging speeds for both AC and solar, and both can be charged using together.
-
You can use cigarette lighter plugs in your car to charge the unit (you can not use it at the same time and use solar input, however).
-
The user manual is clearly written.
-
The unit can be made in a generator by purchasing a solar panel.
-
The unit is sent to heavy duty boxes and durable foams.
What can be improved
-
The unit is not expandable (the capacity of the battery cannot increase by adding to other units).
-
Many units of the same class have 12–15 charging ports instead of 11.
-
This unit does not use an app. It can be used to be able to monitor remote monitoring, control the unit, or to be able to troubleshooting with smartphones. I will not use these characteristics much, but others may seem valuable, so it is mentioning.
-
This can sometimes be reduced, while still may be less heavy using the Lifepo4 battery. Or maybe I’m getting old now …
Final conclusion idea
Greece H2400 Portable Power Station The area is powerful enough for an emergency or multi-day photography shoot. With the ability to run so many items, you can also run a refrigerator or charge EV vehicles. In the area, it was easy to read the LCD screen, and the unit is only about self-distinct.
Grecell 2,400W Portable Power Station I feel particularly valuable that the UPS makes the unit something that one can use daily. You do not need to choose between portable power station or UPS, as often occurs in the past. You can use this unit to power more sensitive devices that should be closed in terms of power outage. And whether the electricity should go out, you can also run other devices or equipment that you understand adequately for some time, even running refrigerators or charging EV vehicles if necessary.
Along with this and many other characteristics, its use as a solar generator, the unit looks like an excellent value.
