In emergencies, the Mango Power E can be a lifesaver for critical devices such as medical equipment and communication gadgets, keeping you connected and addressing health needs. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about safety and peace of mind.

Mango Power E Wheels and Handle

Easy Portability and Setup

My 66 Year old Mom and I (a 38 year old woman) took my two kiddos (5 & 7) camping to a site with no electricity hookup. We parked my van at the site and set up the Mango in the trunk to use for our cooking and charging. The Mango weighs 100lbs, but has wheels and a handle to make moving it around possible. I was able to get it into the back of the van myself and didn't have a problem moving it from my house to the van.

Setting up the Mango Power E is easy, thanks to its intuitive user interface. Its compact size makes it simple to store and transport in your vehicle, allowing you to focus more on enjoying your trip.

Powering Essential Devices

The Mango Power E powers your devices, making off-grid living enjoyable. Imagine keeping your lights on, refrigerator running, and computer powered all weekend with electricity powering your needs—turning any campsite into a home away from home, even with large power consuming appliances.

Beyond essentials, the Mango Power E keeps you connected by recharging ipads and smartphones. With the ability to meet up to 99% of home power needs, this portable power station demonstrates its versatility and reliability.

Although the kids didn't use their ipads much because we were busy swimming, hiking, and throwing rocks in the lake, it was definitely nice to all sit together and watch a movie one evening when the mosquitoes were fierce and we wanted to hide in the screen tent.

Whether you’re dealing with power outages or simply planning a remote getaway, the Mango Power E has got you covered.

Mango Power E Charging Ports

Multiple Charging Methods

The Mango Power E offers various charging options, enhancing its convenience for outdoor settings. It includes four AC outlets delivering a total of 3000W, making it versatile for different devices.

Quiet Operation Compared to Gas Generators

Traditional gas generators are noisy, but the Mango Power E operates at noise levels below 40dB when idle, reaching a maximum of 51dB under full load. This is significantly quieter than gas generators exceeding 60dB, making it a more pleasant option for camping.

The reduced noise output enhances camping by minimizing disturbances in natural settings. Unlike gas generators that disrupt outdoor tranquility, the Mango Power E lets you enjoy nature’s sounds without machinery noise.

We had the hatch of the van open during the day while we were using the Mango and I can honestly say I didn't notice any sound coming from it at all.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

Off-grid battery life is crucial, and the Mango Power E delivers, providing power for up to 10 days depending on usage.

On our weekend trip, it supplied plently of power for the entire duration without needing a recharge. It still had 28% battery life left when we got home and I didn't have our solar panels hooked to it and didn't charge it in the van at all. We had our coffee maker, kettle, plug in stove element, phone and Ipad chargers going all weekend.

Equipped with an LFP battery, the Mango Power E offers fast charging and long-lasting performance. It retains 70% of its capacity even after around 6,500 charge cycles, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Safety Features

Safety is a top priority with the Mango Power E, featuring overcharge protection to prevent damage from excessive charging and short circuit prevention for safe operation during power fluctuations.

Temperature regulation mechanisms prevent overheating, and the Mango Power E generates no fumes, making it suitable for close quarters without compromising air quality. These features make it a safe and reliable choice for camping.

Another great safety feature of solar generators is that they are safe to use indoors! So if we wanted to have it running in our tent, we could have totally done that without any concern. Whereas if you are running a gas generator, it can't be used in enclosed areas because you can die from carbon monoxide poisoning in minutes.
