Romoss, which is famous in South Africa for its excellent power banks, has launched its new Thunder power station range on Takealot.
The brand’s power banks are best-sellers on Takealot, and it expects its new power stations to follow this trend – as they are the perfect solution for South Africans who want to beat load-shedding.
The new Romoss Thunder power stations set themselves apart from competing products in South Africa by using high-quality Ternary Lithium batteries, which are much better than the traditional Lithium-Ion batteries that many competitors use.
This battery technology offers superior energy density and charging performance compared to traditional Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
Additionally, the Romoss Thunder range comes with many intelligent safety features, including:
- Over-charge protection
- Over-discharge protection
- Short-circuit protection
- Integrated battery management system
Three new Romoss Thunder power stations are available on Takealot, which offer 300W, 500W, and 1000W of power, respectively.
Each of these power stations suits different types of users perfectly – and we explain what each offers below.
Romoss Thunder 300W 231Wh Power Station
The most affordable Romoss Thunder power station offers 300W of power and is the best solution if your primary goal is always to be able to charge your smartphone and laptop during load-shedding.
The average laptop has a wattage of 65W, while smartphones generally use between 10-100W depending on the model – so 300W is more than enough to power both a smartphone and a laptop with wattage to spare.
The 231Wh battery can charge a laptop with a 65W charger for nearly four hours, a smartphone with a 35W charger for over six hours, and both a laptop and a smartphone for nearly three hours
You can also use this power station to run other smaller electronics simultaneously – such as your Wi-Fi router, which could run for almost an entire day on this power station’s battery.
This will keep you entertained while waiting for Eskom to turn the lights back on.
Alternatively, you could charge two standard laptops and two smartphones at the same time – all through this single power station.
Because 300W is more than enough to charge several small electronic devices, Romoss has equipped this power station with no less than five outlets, including a 230V South African 3-pin plug, a 60W PD port, two USB ports, and a car socket port.
It can then be recharged through a wall plug, solar panels, or even your car’s battery.
For unrivalled versatility when keeping your small electronics powered during load-shedding, the Romoss Thunder 300W power station offers the best bang for your buck.
Romoss Thunder 500W 400Wh Power Station
If 300W isn’t enough to power all of your important devices during load-shedding, the 500W Romoss Thunder power station is a great option.
Like with the 300W version, you will have more than enough power to charge multiple smartphones and laptops, and with an extra 200W, you can keep other electronics powered too.
For example, the average 55-inch TV uses around 120W – so the extra 200W of this power station can handle this with no problem, and you could run a 55-inch TV using this power station for over three hours.
Most lamps also have a maximum wattage of 60W – so with the extra power of this power station compared to the cheaper option, you could illuminate your home with two lamps and run your TV for about two hours.
Other devices and appliances that easily fall within this model’s 200W of extra power, and can therefore be used while charging your smartphones and laptops, include:
- Computer monitors (30W)
- Freezers (50W)
- Humidifiers (40W)
- Air purifiers (30W)
- Table fans (25W)
- Curling irons (35W)
- Electric shavers (20W)
- And much more
You get six outlets to do this – including a 230V South African plug, a 60W PD port, three USB ports, and a car socket port.
With its extra power, this model is your best choice if you want an affordable power station that can charge more of your smartphones, laptops, and other tech devices, while also keeping a few extra lights and appliances on during load-shedding.
Romoss Thunder 1000W 933Wh Power Station – R13,499
The Romoss Thunder 1000W power station is the ultimate power station for tackling load-shedding head-on.
It is capable of powering household appliances and electronic devices for much longer periods and comes with two 230V plug sockets that let you run more appliances off its 933Wh battery.
This battery and 1000W of power can run critical kitchen appliances like microwaves, blenders, and pressure cookers for up to an hour, or you can power combinations of devices like TVs, video game consoles, lamps, desktop computers, and dehumidifiers for several hours before running out of juice.
You also get three USB ports, a 60W PD port, a car socket port, and even a 10W wireless charging pad to keep multiple devices going.
This power station is ideal if you have many devices you want to power simultaneously, and is also valuable for families who need to run essential kitchen appliances during load-shedding.
