An Excellent, Thoughtfully Designed Product

I think the Trail 300 is a brilliant product. Once you get past the lack of direct AC charging (which is one reason the unit is so remarkably small and light), you can easily accomplish the same thing via the two USB C ports, both of which can accept up to 140W of input (and output) power at the same time. Even if you don't have 140W chargers, you can still recharge the unit with one or two lower powered ones, albeit at a slower rate. I've not tested the solar charging port yet, but to me it was worth the cost up from the 200 model to have this capability, as well as more battery capacity and the ability to charge from a 12V "cigarette lighter" port in a car. I have the unit sitting on my desk to keep my MacBook Pro M3 charged up, which avoids the need to run a power cord across the floor to a nearby AC outlet. When the Trail runs low on power, I can recharge it and use my laptop's battery in the meantime. It's completely quiet, since it has no fan - it just sits there silently powering everything I plug into it. Right now it's charging my laptop and my iPad Pro with no heat buildup that I can detect. The Trail 300 is well built, and has a quality feel to it. It only weights 5.5 pounds, so it will be easy to take along when on the road or on a train (not on planes - its capacity exceeds the TSA limit). Consider that this unit has more watt-hours of capacity than my River 2 units at a fraction of their size and weight - pretty impressive! And the LFP battery chemistry, used in all my EcoFlow units, is reassuring. I have a couple of suggestions. First, the tiny instructions are not very informative. There are a couple of pictures that show USB C and A connections, but there is so much more to this product than that. Example: my unit arrived with zero charge on the battery, but when I plugged two 100W chargers in to charge it up, the wattage shown on the display was only showing 80-90 watts of input power, which was a bit concerning. I hoped this could be a programmed precaution to not hit the battery with too much initial power, and sure enough, after about the first 20% of charging, it suddenly showed 190 watts. The manual should mention this, as I worried I might have a defective unit. Second, I would love to have a way to keep the front panel display on longer, as it automatically shuts off after one minute. I doubt the display uses a lot of power, so having an option to keep it on all the time when it's in use or charging would be handy. Finally, when it's being used to charge something up, the hours remaining indicator can vary quite a bit if the product you're charging is drawing a varying amount of power. As I type this, it's rapidly changing from 18 hours to 13 hours when I type on my Bluetooth keyboard or use my mouse. I think it would be a more useful indicator if it averaged the power usage over a longer time period to provide a more consistent reading, since a rapidly varying time remaining value can be confusing. That aside, I'm very impressed by this product, and am very glad I bought it.

Little wonder

Just couldn't pass up the form factor on this one. The 300 gives me a very pprtable backup for the CPAP even though we a already owned a River2 Pro. This one is so small and light weight it is very noeworthy. It showed up yesterday and I charged it up using 2 high output USB chargers in no time. Used it last night with my CPAP (I have an extremely high setting -17) and only used 23% over 8 hours use. I will still be able to get 4 nights use out of this little backup. I am stoked!! More likely use case for most people would just be a day trip out to a group get-together. This thing is wildly portable and you could be the "power hero" for all portable devices as it's got uber-capacity for USB charging. Haven't received the 45w panel yet but based on our other panel (220w) I'm sure it will not disappoint.

Excellent Introduction to Portable Batteries

This device is perfect for my Starlink Mini. Definitely easier to carry around than the River 3 and holds more wH than a power bank to recharge iPhones and iPads. Excellent build quality and awesome specs. The only negatives for the Trailer 300 in particular is that it does not have Bluetooth, WiFi, or any sort of app connectivity. Its not a deal breaker though because its only meant for charging portable devices.

Great for travel charging multiple devices!

Small, compact, and perfect for travel charging multiple devices. Works great to power the outdoor camping tower light. I do wish it had app capability tho. I haven't yet found the capability to set charging limits.

Need Clear Directions about "low" power settings

I like the Trail 200 so far. Please make it more clear how to change to "low" setting for low power USB-A devices like small fans, weather radios, and lights. The steps are buried in the FAQ. I plan to use it as a portable charger and fan when power goes out or if I have to leave area due to weather risk.
