The Lowdown
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station with 100W Solar Panel is a fantastic option for having power on the go. There are plenty of plug options and three ways to charge quickly, and it is small and light for the amount of power and features. The removable U Batteries are a newer idea for portable power stations; the option to carry them as a small external battery is also a fantastic feature.

Litheli has launched a new idea that takes the power station to the next level; the Litheli B600 Portable Power Station is a small portable battery power station that includes the new U Battery, which provides small portable power and expands into a new line of tools. The optional 100W portable solar panel will help the power station stay charged so everything can stay powered for long periods.
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station is a small, mobile power solution with a 594Wh battery capacity and 600W output. The size and power are perfect for anyone on the go that needs a way to keep their gear charged. Paired with the 100W portable solar panel, any camping trip or short stay away from power is much easier.
The power station package includes the battery, USB-C power brick, USB-C power cord, car charging cable, and solar panel cable. Two U Batteries are also included with a carrying case. More information about these batteries is below.
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station only weighs 12.96 pounds, and it measures 12.32″ long by 8.03″ tall by 6.05″ deep. This is a compact package for the amount of power and features it includes.
The handle hangs off the back of the battery, which is an awkward design, but it leaves plenty of room for the wireless charging pad on top.
Nine output options make the Litheli B600 Portable Power Station usable for almost anything; the ports include two AC outlets, two USB-A ports, one Type-C port, one car-charging port, one wireless charging pad, and two DC5521 ports. There are plenty of options in a small package.
Litheli has included three charging methods: a 100W USB-C adapter, up to 100W solar input, and a car charger. I love having options to charge the battery, and the fact that the power cord is simply a USB-C cord plugged into a power brick is easy.
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station’s display is bright, easy to read, and includes all the information needed to manage the battery.
The U Batteries can be removed and used in the new tool line (which we will review in a future post) and also serve as a tiny portable battery perfect for a phone or other small devices. The U Batteries also have red or green lights depending on the amount of charge.
This is an exciting feature and can lead to many expansion possibilities.
The Litheli 100W Solar Panel is a great pairing option with the B600 Power Station. The durable and portable solar panel folds nicely into a small carrying case making it easy to bring anywhere. An expandable kickstand is also included in a carrying case to make changing positions quick.
The panel weighs only 8.9 pounds and measures 22.25″ long by 14″ wide while in the carrying case. Fully opened, the panel measures 48.25″long by 21.5″ wide.
The kickstand is easy to assemble and use. I like the snap system which connects the panel. You simply push the button through the hole and snap it shut.
To release it, there are two buttons. This keeps the stand locked on the panel, making it nice and sturdy. Two stakes are even included to lock the feet down in case of wind.
The solar panel is easy to connect to the Litheli B600 Portable Power Station, and I found the power levels to be on par with any other panels I have used. The size and weight make it a no-brainer to add if you plan to be off-grid at any time.
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station with 100W Solar Panel is a fantastic option for having power on the go. There are plenty of plug options and three ways to charge quickly, and it is small and light for the amount of power and features.
The removable U Batteries are a newer idea for portable power stations; the option to carry them as a small external battery is also a fantastic feature.
Check back soon to see how the U Batteries work in Litheli’s new tool lineup.
Litheli has built a rugged, attractive power station and an easily portable 100W solar panel. The panel folds nicely, is waterproof, and should survive any trip. The new tool lineup, compatible with the U Batteries, will be exciting to watch grow.
The Litheli B600 Portable Power Station sells for $499.99 on its own or $799.99 with the optional 100W Solar Panel; it is available directly from the manufacturer and other retailers, including Amazon.
