So this is not the normal post for Charm City Edibles, but this product has been incredible, and I feel like sharing (plus there’s a coupon code – head to the bottom of this post if you’re impatient).
Aukey sent me the PowerTitan 300 Portable Power Station 288Wh – named like a superhero, natch – to test drive, and KWeeks and I took it for a ride on two trips to the middle of the woods. We definitely did some stuff with it that you’re not supposed to (charged cordless power tools, including a 56V lithium-ion battery), plus some stuff it really is more suited for (charging phones and devices). The verdict?
WORTH IT.
Not only did it charge our power tool batteries (three of them) on less than a full charge, but it also continued to charge cellphones without using hardly any remaining power (as in, less than 1% of the remaining power).
We charged it up again for the second trip, and I feel like it could go indefinitely charging devices if we hadn’t drained power with the 56V battery.
The official stats of the Aukey PowerTitan 300 portable power station, for those of you who like that sort of thing:
Capacity: 288Wh (26Ah, 11.1V)
DC Input: 5-25V, 4A
USB-C Input: 5-20V, 3A
AC Outputs (2): 110V/60Hz, 300W (600W peak)
DC Outputs (2): 12V, 8A (DC port); 12V, 10A (car port)
USB Outputs (2): 5V, 3.1A (total)
USB QC 3.0 Output: 18W max
USB-C PD Output: 60W max
For me, the stats don’t matter so much as how it works, and it works great for our purposes. I can see running small appliances on this briefly, but really if you want to spend time off-grid and are worried about charging devices (phones, cameras, laptops), this is a really great portable power station for that.
#vanlife people, this is a good option for you. Aukey says it works with solar, too, but we didn’t get that far.
Charging in a wall outlet is also fast and easy (but see below for the only con of this unit).
PROS: Small, easy to transport, charges phones fast, can handle small cordless power tool batteries
CONS: Takes a long time to re-charge through the car lighter. That’s literally the only con.
AND FRIENDS. I have a coupon code for you to get $40 off, so this Aukey PowerTitan 300 portable power station only costs $209. Just head to the official Aukey site and type AUKEYPLUS when you order. The code expires August 31, so don’t dawdle. Shipping is free and fast: get your power station in about five (business) days.
Just so things are crystal clear, too: I would not write about anything that I did not highly recommend. Aukey was busted and kicked off Amazon for fake reviews, and I am here to say that this is totally on the level. If you buy it, hate it, and live local to Baltimore (within an hour), I will bake you a cake. And that’s on top of Aukey’s 30-day money-back guarantee.
Go get some portable power, and let me know how it goes!

If you buy it on Amazon now you get 120 off of it immediately, regularly 230. Check the 120 off box before adding to the cart. It will be here by end of three month. I read your review first because Amazon had not one review yet on it. I bought a Generarc power one solar device last month, much more expensive but not as much as 4patiots large power bank. That was too much but bought a comparative model for 1000 less. Now I wanted a 300w that I could manage to carry. So I looked at 4Patriots sidekick 300w, that was too much I thought. I found your evaluation of Titan and read what you had to say and then bought it. Great price. I have been prepping for 11 years and couldn’t decide on generators. They have too many pros and cons for long term if needed, enough gas, gas can go bad, propane and gas might be too hard to get. I am not a hard core prepper liked TV preppers, but I see what’s coming down the pike and have been for a long time. I am hoping the panels I with the Generarc PowerOne will work with the Titan, don’t want to spend more. There are 2,. 100w panels. Panels are out there in price. Hope I like it as much as you. I am very leary of reviews. I did get an estimate for solar for my home, just powering 70% of my home would have cost 82,000, only increases house value 10% of that total. I was shocked it’s not even feasible. It would have been nice, but who has that kind of money or would want to go into debt that much. LOL. Ok stop rambling now. Thanks for reviewing this.
Sorry I am just now seeing this!
I hope it works out for you. I am not sure if the solar panels are compatible – fingers crossed.
I am leery of reviews, too, but I promise that I used this and loved it. And it’s definitely lightweight and portable. Easy to carry. I have another bigger capacity power station and it’s 100 pounds. Even with wheels it’s a beast.
Good luck!
It will be here by end of month, not three months. The wonder of predictive typing. Love too have that Cake, I will tell you how I like it. They are back on Amazon, I missed that part of review, maybe that is the reason for 120. Discount and no reviews. Hmmm
