Works as advertised. Independently charges up to four 20V Max and Flexvolt batteries so you can mix-and-match as needed. It will also supply 120 VAC from four 20V Max, or four Flexvolt, batteries. Just keep in mind that all the batteries should be the same type and rating and that you will only get about 80-90% of the expected run time. This suggests that the inverter circuit has its own losses.

Was a gift for my husband. He loves that he can finally charge more than one battery at a time

It works great with a vacuum and chipping hammers. I have mainly used it to power a KRK monitor for job site music or even at the park or beach. It could benefit from a pure sine wave inverter but could up the cost and affect efficiency in some way. Overall it bumps music all day and is what I wanted it for. If you plan on using this off grid as a backup power supply it’d better be for something small as this unit will only supply 720 watt hours of energy with four 9 amp hour batteries. Parallel charging at 3 amp hours means the 9 amp hour batteries take three hours to fully charge from flat.

As a Fence Contractor, I consistently find myself working on remote areas of customers properties, where it just isn’t feasible to run hundred’s of feet of extension cord to get power. The use of the power station and charger is well worth the cost. Being able to run my 12″ miter saw, 10 table saw, and air compressors of this power station is a huge benefit to my business. Also being able to quickly charge 4 batteries at one shot, allows me to keep working all day with no down time waiting on batteries to charge.

Great Product. I used this with 2 of the 2.0AH batteries and 2 of the 4.0AH batteries. With a 2.0 as my weakest link I was able to power a 42″ TV, a battery charger (about 1.5A) , and a laptop (about 1.5A 45w) continuously for 65 minutes prior to the batteries(the 2.0Ah) draining. I saw many reviews online and I was expecting a low battery indicator as the batteries were getting low, I did not get that warning. The station beeped a few times and a few seconds later it shut off as the 2.0AH batteries were drained. I am looking forward to trying this with all 4.0AH and higher batteries , especially the 9.0AH. This product opens the door for many possibilities.This does not come with a cord for the charger , so you will need to supply your own extension cord. I was expecting more from the packaging. If I spend a lot of money on something I want to know it is securely place in the box. Once you open the box it is just the product and a few manuals in the box.ChargingAccording to the manual the charge time for 4x 5.0AH batteries is 2.5 Hrs and for 4x 6.0AH batteries 3hrs.DesignIt feels nice and sturdy and durable. It is about 20lbs and I do not mind the weight. This product ran very quietly, I tried it in my dining room and did not notice it at all. It has a fan, make sure the vent is clear so it does not overheat.

I have been evaluating this unit for a portable power application. It is a bit ungainly and not as efficient as I was hoping. It did not provide enough continuous power for this specific task. I understand I could upgrade from the 20/60 batteries to get more power, but am feeling sticker shocked.

Muy Buen Producto, funciona muy silenciosamente y por una larga duración.

Works as advertised. I am using four 6.0 batteries. It ran a 30″ shop fan on high for 4.5 hours. Nice to have for emergencies too.

this power station is very handy at the jobsite. however if you’re using 9ah batteries in parallel, it takes ever to charge four 9ah flex volt batteries. also, could also use an usb port. Overall great product from Dewalt

A great power source where every you need it. I take it to every job site.

I’ve had the portable power station for about 6 months now. It has been excellent tool in his come in very handy. Being able to charge for battery simultaneously is a huge time-saver. The one thing that I would change is I wish it had a built-in power cord. It is annoying to have to find an extension cord to plug it in.

I bought this primarily to run corded tools in no power sitiuations. Table saw, miter-saw and compressor. I had no problem runing any of these tools on this uint. I never overlapped use of tools always one at a time so as not to trip breaker. To keep power consumption down I always shut tools off and sometimes the powerstation itself when not using those tools for an extend period of the work day. You definitely want to use 4 of the largest batteries you own 4AH or higher 9AH or 12AH would be best. My only problem with this uint is that they did not do pure sine wave. I would have paid extra to have a pure sine wave over modified sine. If dewalt makes another one that is pure sine I will buy that and try and sell this one. All in all it is useful for me. I also ran a small TV on it for a few hours during a power outage as well as the blower on my wood stove though for the wood stove I had to bypass the fan speed switch as it made a considerable humming noise most likely due to the modified sine wave format.

Awesome charging (fast) and reliable power source when we’re remote.

DeWalt is always innovating and this Portable Power Station is an excellent example. The Power station has 4 ports for changing any of the DeWalt Flex Volt batteries…it comes with indicator lights that give the status of each battery. This is very handy and keeps you from having to carry individual changers to the job site. BUT here’s the innovation…this charging station can become a portable generator using the stored power in the charged batteries to power a 15 amp circuit…for corded tools or lights; a temporary power outage to run lights, a Fridge, or Freezer! No gas generator needed…just clean stored power! Another thing that’s very nice is this power station is compatible with Dewalt’s Tough Series tool boxes, so I have added it to my Tough Series Set and wheel it right to the job site. Two things to note…batteries are not included and neither is a power cord…just use at least a 14 gauge standard extension cord to either charge or move to out port to power corded equipment. I’m expecting to use this a lot on the job.

I have been using this for 3 years. And most of time, this was sitting at the corner of my room, charging batteries. But whenever I needed to use corded tool outside, or when the power went out, this came really handy.The biggest problem I usually had was the sump pump. When I experienced the first extended power outage, my basement was literally flooded with a foot high water.I had to get a gas generator because of that, but running a gas generator in the stormy night wasn’t very fun experience. Especially, when the generator did not start due to carb problem, things got really bad.So, when Dewalt released this unit, it was the first one on my list, and as I expected, this ran the sump pump without any problem. Although I had to go to my friend’s house to charge couple spare batteries once or twice, but the unit could run the pump for a day of power outage. Now, I really worry less about it.One thing to note is, this unfortunately outputs modified sinewave, so it might not work well with sensitive electronics, but I only used this to run the sump pump as well as other corded tools, so it was not a big problem with me.
