CleanTechnica Tested: The Vanpowers Super Power Pro 1500
portable power station takes all of the strengths of its bigger brother, the Super Power Pro 2000, and swaps out the cells for lithium ferro phosphate also known as LFP battery cells. LFP battery cells are thermally stable, meaning that if the cell is damaged or punctured it remains stable. It’s a huge advantage for a 41.5 pound battery pack that’s meant to be brought along on all your adventures.
As the name implies, the 1500 stores less power at 1,440 watt-hours whereas the 2000 stores 2,096 watt hours of juice. In terms of density, the NMC-powered Vanpowers Superpower Pro stores 45.0 watt-hours per pound compared to 34.6 watt-hours per pound for the LFP-powered Superpower Pro 1500. The 1500 is also cheaper than the 2000 with an MSRP of $1,499 vs $1,599 for the 2000.With the introductions out of the way, let’s dive into the testing of the LFP-based Vanpowers Superpower Pro 1500.
These ratings are critical to understand before purchasing a portable power station as they dictate how much power you’ll be pulling and can therefore determine how long said battery can support the load during a camping trip, grid outage, or day at the park. Our testing simulates a high power draw to emulate much shorter duration use like you might see when cooking while camping or using the battery to power tools at a job site.
