Review and Testing of the Aferiy P310 Portable Power Station

Steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Overview of Aferiy P310 features and ports

   I introduce the Aferiy P310 portable power station, a mobile accumulator with over 3.8 kWh of energy storage. You can charge it with grid power up to 2200W and draw 220V from the front sockets. The front side includes a display showing state of charge, charging speed, discharging speed, and remaining time.

   Step 2: Adjusting variable charging speed

   A very nice feature of this unit is the variable charging speed. You can choose to charge with 400W, 800W, 1000W, or higher to avoid using too much energy at once. This prevents issues when plugging into limited power sources.

3. 3

   Step 3: Checking USB, 12V, and AC output sections

   At the front of the unit, we have fast-charging USB ports including two USB-C ports up to 20W and 100W for powering laptops. Below that is the 12V section with a normal car lighter socket, two 12V 3A outputs, and an XT60 port with a 25A output. Finally, there are three normal stopcooks or sockets that can handle up to 3600W, matching household sockets.

   • USB-C up to 20W

   • USB-C up to 100W

   • Car lighter socket

   • 12V 3A outputs (2 pieces)

   • XT60 port with 25A output

   • Three normal AC sockets up to 3600W

   Step 4: Exploring rear connections and expansion options

   On the back of the unit, you find a regular Europlug to charge from a wall socket and an XT90 connector for solar inputs. There is also a fuse, an extra backup lamp, and two connection ports to link multiple units and expand total capacity up to 11 kWh.

5. 5

   Step 5: Using the UPS backup and mobile app

   When connected to grid power at the back and a computer at the front, the unit acts as a UPS if the grid fails. It switches over to the internal battery within 10 milliseconds so the computer stays on without shutting down. Additionally, the P310 has a mobile app to live read the state of charge, remaining time, and solar panel work speed, as well as remotely turn inputs and outputs on or off.

   Step 6: Handling the heavy weight and trolley handle

   This unit is lomp zwaar, meaning lumbering heavy, weighing 42 kilos because lithium-ion batteries are heavy. Fortunately, it features a convenient handle so you can easily pull the accumulator along like a trolley.

7. 7

   Step 7: Booting up and operating the display

   I hold the power button for a few seconds to start the unit up and check the display. The accumulator shows 97% capacity, zero incoming watts, and zero outgoing watts while estimating runtime based on connected devices. Separate buttons allow turning on just the USB supply or the DC and 12V sides independently.

8. 8

   Step 8: Adjusting current limit for campsites

   Some campings have a current limit for how many amperes you can consume, making 2200W too high and causing the fuse to blow. Using the special control button, you can lower the maximum power consumption down to 800W. Charging takes a bit longer, but the campsite fuse will not trip.

9. 9

   Step 9: Inspecting internal build quality and components

   Looking under the hood, I notice the build uses solid aluminum instead of cheap plastic, including sturdy aluminum blocks where the cover is screwed down. There is a continuous airflow through the aluminum housing with fans on two sides. Unlike cheap Chinese clones, no low-quality solutions were used inside.

10. 10

    Step 10: Examining battery cells and internal wiring

    I remove a piece of side protection and see that cylindrical cells are used instead of prismatic cells. The busbars on the cells are welded so they will not vibrate loose, and all internal cable connectors are glued in place after being plugged in. Because the unit is built so solidly and cannot be easily taken apart, I rely on the 7-year manufacturer warranty and technical support.

11. 11

    Step 11: Testing power output with an electric barbecue

    I take the power station and an electric cooler and barbecue out into the middle of nowhere. The unit supplies about 1800W to bake hamburgers electrically without coal or gas fire hazards. After over an hour of barbecuing, the battery is still at 79%, meaning you could theoretically barbecue for 5 hours on a single charge.

    Barbecue	1	Electric grill

12. 12

    Step 12: Testing electric car charging with a helper cable

    Using a helper cable, I attempt to charge an electric car from the power station. The car charges at about 10 A, which is not enough capacity to fully charge the car battery, but is plenty to get home if you run out of fuel.

    What I used

    Helper cable	1	Used to connect car

13. 13

    Step 13: Testing a bouncy castle setup

    For the next test, I hook up a bouncy castle using about 640W of power. After running for half an hour the battery is at 90%, and after over 2 hours of heavy jumping and making coffee, the battery is still at 59%.

    Step 14: Exploring other versatile use cases

    Watch this part (11:02)

    This power station is suitable for many different situations where you need portable energy. You can use it for electric quads, spraying equipment, aquarium backup during outages, or a party in the middle of nowhere. It is also great for camper trips, musician gear, carnival floats, or running a mobile air conditioning unit.

15. 15

    Step 15: Connecting solar panels for solar charging

    Using the extra cable with solarkabeltjes and an XT90 connector included with the battery, I connect two light, old, used solar panels together and plug them into the solar input. The top display shows it is charging with 135W, though you can connect up to 2000W of solar panels to the unit.

    What I used

    Item	Amount	Notes
    Solar panels	2	Old used panels
    Solar cable with XT90 connector	1	Included with the battery

    I hope this video was helpful and showed you what this power station can and cannot do. You can find discount links in the description below if you are interested in buying one. In upcoming videos, I will test SOK batteries, check their cells, and hook up a new all-in-one setup.

    • Variable charging speeds let you safely charge on limited campground power without tripping fuses.

    • The internal build uses solid aluminum housing, cylindrical cells, and glued connectors for durability.

    • It can power heavy loads like an 1800W barbecue or a bouncy castle for hours.

    • You can expand capacity up to 11 kWh and connect up to 2000W of solar panels.
