CaravanSA Review Oukitel P1201E and P2001E Portable Power Stations Sold via Communica

Before we begin with this review, it’s important to understand and grasp the basics of Battery terminology.

Although many experienced power users will already know this, the majority of us do not! Thus, this beginner’s guide to understanding power consumption should make your future power conversations more meaningful and insightful.

Firstly, you will notice that some battery specifications are in Ah (Amp Hours) and others are in Wh (Watt hours). This is because Engineers usually want to know voltages with battery capacities when conducting comparative tests. Traditionally, we use Ah for smaller battery storage devices like cell phone battery banks, headlamps, and smaller electronics.

Wh is commonly used for much larger appliances like fridges, microwaves, kettles, power tools, and TV sets.

Ah or Amp hours represents the amount of energy charge in a battery that enables 1 ampere of current to flow for one hour. Another way to put it is that 1 Ah is the rating indicating how much amperage a battery can provide for one hour. The unit is a useful metric to determine the capacity of an energy storage device, such as a rechargeable battery or deep-cycle battery.

The watt-hour, symbolized as Wh, is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt of power expended for one hour of time. The watt-hour is not a standard unit in any formal system, but it is commonly used in electrical applications. An energy expenditure of 1 Wh represents 3,600 joules or 3,600 x 103 J.

Now, with an understanding of those terms, let’s compare the Oukitel P1201E with their P2001E Model as shown below, including their surge capabilities.

The Oukitel P1201E has a 960Wh capacity, which can surge up to 4000W. However, if you are constantly drawing 4000W from the device, your battery will last roughly 15 minutes only. That is because it has a 960Wh capacity. Loosely, this means it can provide a constant supply of 960 Watts for an hour (60 Minutes). However, if you are using more power-hungry appliances, your power supply time will be less. Similarly, if you are only using about 500 Watts of the 960Wh capacity, you can expect the Portable power supply to run for around 2 hours or more!

The Oukitel P2001E has a massive 2000Wh battery capacity, which can also surge up to 4000W. This means you can use your Portable Power Station for approximately one hour to power devices that require 2000W of electricity before the battery will be discharged to zero. Suffice it to say that if you use only 1000W of its 2000WH capacity, it will last you about 2 hours or more.

Remember, both units do offer considerable surge power (up to 4000W) – in case you need to power any devices that require it. This is one of their best-selling features.

In the case of our 2500W Air fryer, the P1201E model (960Wh) can run for approximately 30-35 minutes. However, in the case of the P2001E model, which has a 2000Wh – it can run for approximately 60 minutes. So make sure you know your cooking times and battery status prior to preparing meals!

The surge capabilities on both of these models are fantastic! We tested some other brands with 1000Wh capacity, which, in fact, could not even power 2000W appliances, because the inverter supplied with the other brands was not powerful enough.

In the video below, you’ll see us conduct a range of tests on both units varying from Angle Grinders to Air Fryers and kettles, with a few other appliances in-between.

The only test that failed was when we drew 2400W from the P2001E model and tried to use the UPS feature. The reason this test failed was that we purposefully overloaded the Portable Power Station during a surge test, which we knew the unit would not be able to maintain. We did use the UPS feature on our computer workstations and 65 Inch TV, which only drew about 800W. Both units passed this test as the Oukitel did not switch off during our simulated load shedding.
