WEN PP1030i 1000-Watt 1030Wh Lithium-Ion Power Station and Battery-Powered Inverter Generator with Bidirectional Charging - PP1030i
Remember when you kept the lights on? The WEN Power Station generates up to 2000 surge watts and 1000 rated watts of power, making it a safe and reliable backup power source for sporting events, camping, long road trips, and more. No engine means no noise, no fumes, and no maintenance. Keep the essentials powered up through blackouts – the 1030-watt-hour lithium-ion battery can recharge smartphones up to 51 times, laptops up to 22 times, or tablets up to 25 times (based on the average power consumption of typical consumer devices). It can also power a 10W lightbulb for up to 103 hours, or a 45W car fridge for up to 22 hours. The onboard bidirectional inverter provides quiet, clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, and quickly charges the power station from a standard AC outlet in about an hour. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this unit limits total harmonic distortion to under 3 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, TVs, monitors, tablets, and other sensitive electronics. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-15R receptacle, two quick-charge 18W USB-A ports, one 45W USB-C outlet, one 100W USB-C PD outlet, one automotive-style 12V 10A DC socket, and two 12V DC barrel sockets. The backlit display keeps you informed in real time about the battery charge level, the power station’s temperature, the wattage input and output, and more. This package includes a DC 12V charger cord and C13 AC charger cord. The station is also compatible with aftermarket chargers and solar panels, thanks to its built-in MPPT solar charge controller. And because it’s a WEN product, your power station comes backed by a two-year limited warranty and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the unit clean and ventilated — wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and ensure cooling vents are free of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
-
Charge and store properly — store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or moisture. For long-term storage, keep the battery around 40–60% charged rather than fully charged or completely drained.
-
Avoid deep discharges and overcharging — recharge before the battery drops below ~20% and unplug once fully charged to protect the lithium-ion cells.
-
Use within rated capacity — do not connect devices exceeding the 1000 W continuous or 2000 W surge limit to prevent shutdown or damage.
-
Operate on a flat, dry surface in safe temperature conditions — avoid extreme heat, cold, moisture, or poorly ventilated environments to preserve battery health and electronics.
-
Inspect the unit periodically — check for any signs of damage, swelling, or corrosion, and ensure ports and connectors are clean.
-
Keep firmware or software updated (if applicable) to maintain optimal performance and battery management.
