The output power of a single USB-A port is 18W, and the total output of two ports is 36W. The wireless charging power is 5/7.5/10/15W. The battery tape is LFP.

There is a TrueSight anti-glare display, a car charger output module, and a USB output module on the side.

The TrueSight anti-glare display can show the remaining power, input and output power, and available time. The difference between actual power and displayed power does not exceed 3W, and the error control is excellent. The brightness of the display can be adjusted from 0 to 100% by the APP. There is a main switch and a Bluetooth button below the display.

On the right side of the display is the DC output module, from top to bottom are the car charger port, two DC5521 output ports, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. Each port is protected by a dust-proof rubber plug. There is also a switch for the DC output module below. The car charger supports 12V 10A 120W maximum output power, and the DC5521 output port supports 36W. Both the USB-C ports and USB-A ports are independent, and a single port supports output of 100W and 18W respectively.

The AC output module is on the upper side of the other side. There are two European AC outlets here. It supports a rated voltage of 230V and a rated output power of 600W. It can drive devices with a power rating of 1600W through SpurFlux technology.

The EP600 is also available in a variety of colors to meet the different needs of consumers. The tough design reflects the durability of it. The metal handle on the top and the storage box at the bottom reflects the understanding and respect for user experience.

Protocol Test

Next, we will test the protocols supported by the USB-A and USB-C ports.

The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the USB-C port can support FCP, SCP, AFC, QC3.0, QC5, SFCP, PD3.0, PPS, DCP, and Apple 2.4A charging protocols.

And it has five fixed PDOs of 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, and 20V5A, and a set of PPS, which is 3.3-21V5A.

The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the USB-A port can support FCP, SCP, AFC, QC3.0, SFCP, DCP, and Apple 2.4A charging protocols.

Compatibility Test

Next, let's see the charging compatibility of the USB-C and USB-A.

Use any USB-C port to charge the Huawei MateBook X Pro, ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the power is about 19.99V 4.89A 97.84W.

From this chart, it can be seen that the voltage of most phones can reach about 9V, and most game consoles and tablets can reach about 15V. All laptops tested can reach about 20V.

We have compiled the test results into a bar chart. The highest charging power is 97.84W of the Huawei MateBook X Pro. The charging power of phones remains in the ranges of 15W, 18W, and 27W. Some devices that support the PPS protocol can reach a voltage of about 78V. It has no compatibility issues and can provide fast charging for most devices.

Use any USB-A port to charge the iQOO 12 Pro, ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the power is about 9.11V 1.91A 17.43W.

From this chart, it can be seen that the voltage of most phones can reach about 9V, and a small number of phones reach about 5V.

We have compiled the test results into a bar chart. The highest charging power is 17.43W of the iQOO 12 Pro. The charging power of other phones remains in the ranges of 10W, 15W, and 28W. It has no compatibility issues and can provide fast charging for most phones.

Control by App

Search the EHOM's app in the app store and connect the power station via Bluetooth. Then, you can control the power station through the application.

The upper part of the main page of the application shows the remaining battery capacity. Below are the outputs of each port and their switch sliders.

After entering the settings, you can make advanced settings such as charging power and standby time. It also supports OTA (Over-the-Air Technology).

Real-World Usage

Its two European standard AC outlets both support an output power of 600W. The AC outlet can easily supply power to high-power electrical appliances such as electric kettles, frying pans, etc.

It features SpurFlux technology. It can drive high-power electrical appliances with a rated power of up to 1600W. When the rated power of the electrical appliances is greater than its rated power, it can automatically reduce the output voltage to reduce the load to prevent it from being overloaded.

The display shows the output power is 797W at this time.

It is also equipped with a car port that supports a maximum output of 126W, which can power devices such as a car refrigerator.

The display shows that the output power is 50W at this time, which meets the power requirements.

It has a wireless charging panel, a car port, two DC5521 ports, two independent USB-A ports, two independent USB-C ports, and two European AC outlets. It can connect up to 10 devices at the same time for power supply. So we connected a coffee machine, an electric frying pan, a car refrigerator, and many more devices during testing.

At this time, all six devices can run normally. And the display shows the output power is 615W. The bottom of the display also shows the working status of the ports. In addition, it also has the EPS function. When it is connected to the power grid with a power cord while powering the device, the bypass mode will be triggered and the power grid will directly power the appliance. When the power grid fails, it can switch to power supply mode within 15ms.

Noise Test

It supports the QuiteQuiet technology. The noise when working is lower than the similar products. The fan speed can be adjusted according to the load to control the noise.

Measured at a distance of 1 meter at 50% load, the noise is 32dB. When fully loaded and measured at a distance of 1 meter, the noise is 38dB. The fan speed at 50% load is significantly lower than that at full load.

When working at full load, that is, the output power is 600W, and the noise meter shows a noise of 50.8dB at a distance of about 0.25 meters. Its noise control performance is excellent.

Charging Test

Input Ways

In addition to multiple output ways, it can also support multiple input ways.

First, it can be charged by the wall outlet. Using the included high-power power cord, the maximum input power can reach about 600W. It can be charged to 80% in 40 minutes and fully charged in about 78 minutes.

It also can be charged by the car charger. When the input is 12V 8A, the power is about 75W.

Still charging through the car charger, when the input is 24V 8A, the power is about 162W.

It can support an input power of up to 160W by solar panel.

Full Charging Test

It supports the NitroGo fast-charging technology. We charge it with the original high-power power cord and record the data with the PA300 power meter.

We plot the data into a curve to see how fast it can be charged. It can be charged to 50% in 29 mins, 80% in 46 mins, and 100% in 1 hour and 20 mins. The charging speed is the same as what it claims.

Discharging Test

Let it continue to output at 550W until the power is exhausted, and record the data. The test results are as follows.

It can be seen that when the power bank continues to output for 23 mins, the remaining power is 50%. After 37 mins of output, the remaining power is 20%. And the remaining power is exhausted at 46 mins.

It uses ColdFusion technology to ensure temperature control. This allows the product to be charged immediately after being fully discharged without overheating.

After the power is exhausted, immediately use the original high-power power cord to charge it. At this time, the input power is 469W.
