The BioLite BaseCharge 1500 power station can easily be mistaken for a desktop printer, but weighing almost 13kg is much heavier. A large segmented display shows parameters such as battery capacity, input-output power usage, and the unit’s status. The built-in odometer shows how much energy the station has supplied. Features are accessible with a single button press, making the BaseCharge simple to use.
The NMC-based 1521Wh battery offers 500 charge cycles before incurring an 80% capacity drop. The top surface provides 10W wireless charging power, and the 1200W AC inverter can output 2400W for short intervals. Charging through the wall adapter takes up to 13.5 hours, which is more than the competition. However, features such as wireless connectivity or UPS mode are missing.
