ALLPOWERS VOLIX P300 review
ALLPOWERS VOLIX P300 Portable Power Station (256Wh)
By Tom Calder
A 256 Wh LiFePO4 station that weighs 7.9 lb and puts out 300 W, enough for phones, a Wi-Fi router, a laptop and LED lights through an evening. It's too small to keep a fridge going for long, and it can't run anything that heats. ALLPOWERS says it recharges from the wall in about an hour, has a 20 ms UPS mode, and backs it with a 5-year warranty. Its 110 W solar input means a small panel can top it up.

Our review
The VOLIX P300 is ALLPOWERS' small 256 Wh LiFePO4 station with a 300 W AC outlet. This researched review covers what the maker's page lists for ports, charging and UPS, the runtime formula it publishes and the loads it says it is not for, the unit's dual-voltage wording, and who should buy a larger station instead.
What it is and who it suits
The VOLIX P300 is a compact station with a 256 Wh battery and a 300 W pure sine wave inverter, rated at 600 W peak. ALLPOWERS lists a LiFePO4 battery rated for over 4,000 charging cycles, a weight of 3.57 kg, which is 7.9 lb, and dimensions of 10.2 by 8.2 by 4.9 inches.
It suits a household that wants a light, handled unit to charge phones and a laptop and to run a Wi-Fi router and LED lights during a short outage, or to live in a car kit. This review is researched, not tested. It relies on ALLPOWERS' US product page, Ready.gov and CDC.
Ports and output
ALLPOWERS lists one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port at up to 100 W and a 12V socket. The page's own copy calls it suitable for low-power devices such as laptops, speakers, drones, projectors and cameras.
The specification table lists AC output as 100-120V/220-240V at 300 W, which is odd for one outlet. Check the label on the unit you receive, and confirm it is the US 120 V version before you plug anything in.
Runtime and the loads to avoid
ALLPOWERS publishes a simple formula: runtime equals capacity times inverter efficiency, divided by the device's rated power. Its example runs a 25 W desk lamp for about 9 hours from 256 Wh at 85 percent efficiency. The page adds that the formula is not suitable for loads with compressors, such as refrigerators and air conditioners.
That warning matters. At 256 Wh, a fridge is out of reach for any useful time, and anything that heats, such as a kettle or hair dryer, is above its 300 W rating. See our refrigerator guide for the sizes that do work. Ready.gov asks households to plan for batteries and other power sources, such as a portable charger or power bank, and this unit fits that role.
Charging and UPS
ALLPOWERS says AC charging takes the unit from 0 to 100 percent within 1 hour. Solar input is listed at 11 to 30 V, 8 A and up to 110 W, through an XT60 port, and the car input is listed at 110 W. The page notes that the car charger and solar panel cable are not included, so budget for them if you plan to use either.
The unit has a UPS mode that the page says switches to battery within 20 ms during a power outage, plus pass-through charging, and app control by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The maker rates it at 30 dB and says that is quieter than a whisper.
Warranty and medical use
ALLPOWERS lists a 5-year warranty. It gives no medical-use statement. If anyone at home relies on powered medical equipment, Ready.gov advises talking to your medical provider about a power outage plan. Our medical devices guide walks through the steps, and a 256 Wh unit would need careful sizing even for a small device.
How it compares and who should skip it
On our power station page, the BLUETTI Elite 30 mini also lists 288 Wh and 300 W at 7.28 lb, and the Elite 10 Mini lists 128 Wh and 200 W at 3.97 lb, so the VOLIX sits between them on size. A larger step up is the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro, at 768 Wh and 800 W.
Skip it if you need to run a fridge, a CPAP all night or anything that heats. A 1 kWh-class station fits those jobs better. For basic phone and light backup, it does the work in a small bag.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you need to run a fridge or a CPAP all night: look at the 1 kWh class.

Questions
How long will the VOLIX P300 run a router?
Use ALLPOWERS' formula: capacity times efficiency divided by the device's power. For a 10 W router that works out to about 21 hours at the 85 percent efficiency the maker uses, but check the device's real draw.
Can it run a refrigerator?
ALLPOWERS says its runtime formula does not suit compressor loads such as refrigerators. With 256 Wh, a fridge is not a realistic load, so look at a larger station.
Does it come with a car charger or solar cable?
No. The page says the product does not include a car charger or a solar panel cable, so add them if you want to charge from a car or a panel.
How fast does it recharge from the wall?
ALLPOWERS lists 0 to 100 percent within 1 hour from AC. Solar input is capped at 110 W, so panel charging is slower.
