Initial setup is fairly simple, but the instruction manual makes it out to be more complicated than it really is.
Lifewire / Jeremy Laukkonen Initial Setup: More complicated than it needs to be
It isn’t waterproof, and I see no indication that it’s dust proof or resistant either, but I was careful to keep it out of the elements and it held up fine for me. I’m not really convinced that this unit is worksite ready, but that’s not really what it’s for. It’s a fairly clean setup, although there are a few issues with outlet placement that I’ll address later on. On the rear, you’ll find the power inputs, AC outputs, fuse access, and another switch. The front has the USB ports, DC ports, an LED lamp, the battery capacity display, and a few switches. Inputs and outputs are split between the front and rear of the unit. The overall form factor is evocative of a lunchbox or a small portable radio, with the main body of the Aeiusny 288WH being blocky and rectangular with a carrying handle attached to the top of the device. The notched and corrugated aesthetic gives it a rugged appearance, although the plastic doesn’t feel that tough and actually rings hollow when you tap on it.

And while I didn’t run into any hurricanes during my time with the Aeiusny 288WH Portable Solar Generator, I did put it through its paces over the course of a long weekend, testing charge speed at home and on the road, its ability to keep devices like my phone and laptop charged, and whether that big battery capacity is really all it’s cracked up to be.ĭesign: Basic and blocky with a faux industrial look Living in an area known for natural disasters and potentially prolonged power outages, I’m always on the lookout for ways to generate backup electricity without storing gas or propane. It comes with a large assortment of inputs and outputs, a big 288WH battery, and even a bright LED flashlight, making it a great choice for camping, day trips, survival situations, and any time or place where easier access to power isn’t available. The solar component only comes into play if you buy an additional accessory, but you also have the option to charge it via AC power at home or in your car on the road.
Aeiusny bills this unit as a portable solar generator, but it’s really a large lithium ion battery combined with a pure sine wave inverter and some other hardware.
