They\u2019re ideal for camping and road trips and provide home backup during power outages. They can also be used for DIY and off-grid living.<\/p>\n<p>All Growatt portable power stations, which are equipped with AC outlets, DC ports, and USB ports, have handles so that you can take them wherever and whenever you want. <\/p>\n<p>Growatt debuted the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3XpkS4R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VITA 550 Portable Power Station<\/a> on January 5 at the US CES. The Growatt VITA 550 is a portable power station that can supply all your small device needs, and much more. The station houses 11 output modes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3x 110v AC Ports<\/li>\n<li>2x USB-A 2.4a Ports<\/li>\n<li>1x USB-A 18w Max Port<\/li>\n<li>1x USB-C 100w Max Port<\/li>\n<li>1x 12v DC Port (Cigarette Lighter)<\/li>\n<li>2x DC Barrel Jack Ports<\/li>\n<li>1x Wireless Power for Compatible Devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Weighing in at just 18.5lbs this small power bank incorporates a bi-directional inverter and 538wh of LiFePO4 capacity. The bi-directional inverter increases the charging speed and save the users from bringing the bulky adapter. The recharge speed of the VITA 550 is spectacular, as it\u2019s able to fully recharge in 1.6 hours. To give you a comparison, it\u2019s common for electric bike batteries of this size to recharge in 4 hours.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-274521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=140,79 140w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt4.jpg?resize=1600,900 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>If it\u2019s hooked up to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3IHaiSx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">100W<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3X5UblX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">200W<\/a> Growatt solar panels, then the VITA 500 can charge in 2.5 hours under full sunlight with a 240W solar input. At 2.5H, Growatt\u2019s solar panels are some of the best in the industry: They have 99% MPPT efficiency and almost no energy loss occurs. Pairing solar panels with your battery is a must, as that ensures you can always get power from the outdoors and don\u2019t have to rely on the grid.<\/p>\n<h2>Easy to read, and use<\/h2>\n<p>The display on the VITA 550 is incredibly easy to read and understand. The charge level is front and center, and the output levels are shown both in watts, but also in time remaining. This offers easy to read answers for those of us who don\u2019t want to face off against math class every-time we plug in a phone.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-274523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=140,79 140w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/proj-growatt1.jpg?resize=1600,900 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Actually using the device is pretty much plug and play. With the press of a button the ports will instantly provide power to whatever is plugged in, and the display will show how much time you can continue until the battery needs to be recharged. Super simple. With a total of 600W of output, you can use a much wider array of power needs all at once. There are limitations. For example, I plugged in a space heater that was over 600W, and the VITA 550 simply shut down for safety. While it doesn\u2019t offer much in terms of burst power or heavy needs, it\u2019s a great way to put a toe into the water, and even expand into a high-efficiency solar array (<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3IHaiSx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">100W<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3X5UblX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">200W<\/a>) from Growatt.<\/p>\n<h2>A wealth of features<\/h2>\n<p>On top of the device is a wireless power transfer platform, allowing for seamless charging for compatible phones and devices. If that wasn\u2019t enough, it also includes a steady and SOS flashing LED light. In a tight spot or emergency, it\u2019s good to know the light can be flashing for help. Controlling the device is incredibly easy, but with the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.growatt.mygro&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US&amp;pli=1\">My-Gro app<\/a>, it\u2019s even easier. The VITA 550 has both bluetooth and wifi connectivity, allowing the unit to be monitored and even controlled directly from your phone.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About Growatt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Growatt is a top global power storage manufacturer with 11 years of experience in residential energy storage and solar energy solutions.
