OSCAL Portable Power Stations
An OSCAL power station is a portable LiFePO4 battery with a built-in inverter that runs household appliances without fuel, noise or fumes. OSCAL builds its PowerMax line with the same rugged approach as its parent company's phones: drop-tested cases and flame-retardant shells. Compare it with every other brand in our portable solar generators collection.
Wild Oak Trail carries three OSCAL power stations, from the 1,024Wh PowerMax 1800SE to the 240V PowerMax 6000, plus the BP3600 expansion battery. Add PM200 SE or PM400 Plus solar panels for off-grid charging, or the EV11000 Level 2 charger for your car. All three stations come in solar panel bundles, and the PowerMax 6000 also comes bundled with BP3600 batteries.
LiFePO4 Batteries
Every PowerMax is rated for 3,500+ cycles to 80% capacity.
Real 240V Option
The PowerMax 6000 puts out 120V and 240V from one unit.
Expand to 57.6kWh
Add up to 15 BP3600 batteries to the PowerMax 6000.
5-Year Warranty
OSCAL power stations carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

What Is an OSCAL Power Station?
An OSCAL power station stores energy in a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery and converts it to household AC power through a pure sine wave inverter. You charge it from a wall outlet, solar panels or a car, then plug in the devices you want to run.
OSCAL is the energy brand of Blackview, a maker of rugged phones and tablets. Its PowerMax stations carry that background over with drop-tested cases, splash and dust resistance, and UL94 V-0 flame-retardant shells.
- LiFePO4 chemistry: rated for 3,500+ cycles to 80% capacity.
- Pure sine wave AC: safe for computers, CPAP machines and motor loads.
- Pass-through charging: the station keeps powering your devices while it recharges.
- App control: check charge level and settings over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
How OSCAL Power Stations Work
Each PowerMax combines a battery, an inverter, a solar charge controller and a battery management system (BMS) in one case. The BMS guards against overcharging, overheating, short circuits and low-temperature charging.
- Charge: from a wall outlet (700W to 1,800W depending on model), solar panels (800W to 2,400W) or a 12V car outlet.
- Store: energy sits in the LiFePO4 battery, from 1,024Wh in the PowerMax 1800SE to 57,600Wh in a fully expanded PowerMax 6000.
- Convert: the inverter turns battery power into 120V AC, or 120V and 240V on the PowerMax 6000.
- Switch over: plugged into the wall, the station passes grid power through and switches to battery in milliseconds if the grid fails.
OSCAL PowerMax Models
OSCAL PowerMax 1800SE: Portable Power
At about 34 lb with 1,800W and 1,024Wh, the PowerMax 1800SE is the one to carry. It charges from the wall in about 1.5 hours and takes up to 800W of solar, which suits camping, tailgating, job sites and short outages.
OSCAL PowerMax 3600SE: 120V Home Backup
The PowerMax 3600SE pairs 3,600W of output with a 3,600Wh battery and 14 outlets. It covers a refrigerator, freezer, lights and internet through a typical outage at a lower price than expandable systems.
OSCAL PowerMax 6000: 240V Whole-Home Backup
The PowerMax 6000 delivers 6,000W at both 120V and 240V and grows from 3,600Wh to 57,600Wh with BP3600 batteries. Choose it for well pumps, dryers or multi-day outages.
Choosing the Right OSCAL Power Station
Start with what you need to run, then how long. The PowerMax 6000 is the only OSCAL station with 240V output and expansion batteries. The other two trade those features for a lower price and a lighter case. Our guide to sizing a battery bank for home backup walks through the math.
| Model | Output | Capacity | 240V | Expandable | AC charge | Solar max | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PowerMax 1800SE | 1,800W | 1,024Wh | No | No | 700W | 800W | 34 lb |
| PowerMax 3600SE | 3,600W | 3,600Wh | No | No | 1,800W | 2,400W | 98 lb |
| PowerMax 6000 | 6,000W | 3,600Wh | Yes, 30A | Up to 57.6kWh | 1,800W | 2,400W | 101 lb |
What to Consider
- Voltage: well pumps, dryers and many shop tools need 240V. Only the PowerMax 6000 provides it.
- Runtime: divide battery capacity by your average load. A 500W load runs about 6 to 7 hours per 3,600Wh, after inverter losses.
- Portability: the PowerMax 1800SE weighs about 34 lb. The 3600SE and 6000 weigh close to 100 lb and roll on built-in wheels.
- Future growth: if you may want more storage later, start with the PowerMax 6000 and add BP3600 batteries over time.
OSCAL Solar Panels and EV Charger
OSCAL's foldable panels use monocrystalline cells under an ETFE layer and carry an IP67 water rating. The OSCAL PM200 SE weighs 16.3 lb and pairs well with the PowerMax 1800SE. The OSCAL PM400 Plus suits the larger stations, and six of them can feed the PowerMax 6000 its full 2,400W.
For drivers, the OSCAL EV11000 is a Level 2 home charger with up to 11kW at 48A through a standard J1772 plug. Looking for other brands? Browse our full solar panels collection.
