The batteries used in this power station are the same as you'd find in a Tesla EV which means they have a lifetime of around six times that of the standard 500-cycle range. That means that you can expect to be able to charge this thing around 3,000 times. You'll get a five-year warranty as well, which gives you added peace of mind.
If you really like it, you can also get the EcoFlow Delta 2 with a solar panel for $799, an impressive $850 off the usual price, which is a great deal. This is also exclusive to Prime members.
