I took my ITECH500 power station away for a 8 day trip. It did not miss a beat
I had it connected to an anderson plug in the back of my ute with the fridge connected 24/7. Also using it for other accessories and it stayed at 100% the whole time. Great system portable and very handy.

Haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet but as with everything I have purchased previously from Itech world, the quality is obvious. I intended to use it to keep my fridge powered up when the ignition is off but I can see I will be using it much more in combination with the solar blanket.

Good products at reasonable price. Easy to use and versatile..

Well designed unit,compact easy to transport. It also lives up to the specs as indicated.

The experience of buying online and picking up was effortless. Happy with product due its being lightweight, runs my large fridge for most of a day and happy with the solar feed in so far.

We purchased this kit with the intention it would run the fridge, and keep our camera batteries etc charged, when off grid camping. What an excellent system! The solar panel charged the battery back to 100% everyday, and I didn't get the power supply anxiety I expected.
I didn't get the chance to test it much in overcast conditions but I have no doubt it would perform fine. The only recommendation I would make would be to get the iTech 10 metre solar extension, to have more options placing the panel when chasing the sun. We love it!

Camped on Kangaroo Island for 4 nights and the iTech 500 battery unit and solar blanket 100w were perfect to maintain the fridge-freezer overnight and charge my devices. Couldn’t be more pleased. The company was very helpful with my shipping needs.

Absolutely brilliant power station. In workshop charging tablet via usb & 4 ah tool battery on AC. Can't wait for our nxt trip away to really test it out!
Mike K.
Not convinced that it has the claimed capacity or that it is the equivalent of a 100 amp hour AGM battery. The weight of whole device and the ability to charge it with a vehicle with the “smart alternator” is a big plus.

The Itech500 power pack is an amazingly simple yet powerful unit for a 70 plus year old to understand and to be able to camp out longer with a fridge and electronic gadgets humming along, while knowing exactly where you are at power wise.
Itech's delivery, product quality, information and professionalism has been superb.
You will not regret purchasing Australian made from these Aussies.
Go for it mates...

Products arrived quickly. First impressions are excellent, build quality, finish and functionality are perfect. I am completely amazed at the small size and extremely low weight of both the generator and the solar panel. This is replacing a 44ah agm power pack and 150w solar panel that are now functioning below par after only 3 years. I use these to run a fridge and lighting systems at camp as well as charging devices during the day. I am very much looking forward to putting these to the test in the field, I have complete confidence that they will exceed my expectations and the performance of my previous system. I am thrilled that this is an Australian made product and itech world will be my first port of call for future requirements.

Good quality the 12v car charging cable is too short so you have very little choice of where you can place the power box if you want to charge it in your vehicle. Otherwise it is a good well made product.
Jay J.
Great package. Lightweight and easy to use.
Andrew H.
Unpacked and ready to use . Christmas holidays here we come .

no pix yet but all things are working fine thank you cheers boys and girls

The battery operates well, but needs a long time to charge in the sun with the solar blanket. The maximum output of the solar blanket in full sun exposure has only been 85 watts, and NOT 100watts, and that is a disappointment. ALL labels should be accurate with respect to power input and output for all iTech products, and the solar blanket is over=rated, OR needs to be upgraded to actually give 100W plus in full sun here in WA to be efficient in charging anything.
Tony L.
Have to Say all the items I have purchased from ITECH have been
Absolutely Sensational
Highly recommend them
Just did 6 months in Van
And our 2 x 120 ITech Lithium Batteries didn’t go under 95 percent
Used 2000 Watt inverter for coffee Machine in Mornings
Just Loved it
Thanks ITech

Still waiting on getting away to use it but purchased a 12v 1ltr kettles o try it out. Plugged the kettle into the power station, took a long time to boil but the kettle was only 150w. Love the power station. Also have other iteckWorld items and they all work great.
Graham W.
My first entry into solar so will wait and see. It was simple to set up and I am getting used to the benefits.
All ok at this time.

Delivered promptly, was already charged, works a treat. Even a numpty like me found it easy to understand.
David M.
So far because of lockdown I haven't had much chance to use the Solar Generator Kit. Certainly when I received it I tested it out, and whilst it won't boil the kettle it certainly runs plenty of other devices without a problem, I was particularly happy to see that it would run a computer back up power supply, which I have had problems in the past as they seem picky about their supply.I know it seems crazy to run a backup supply from a 'battery bank' but I have had problems in the past where a so called sine wave petrol generator was rejected by a backup supply.
Altogether I am very happy with the performance my iTech World iTech500 Power Station.
SIMON D.
I bought this item as a backup unit I have not yet used it so can't make any definitive comments
Roy F.
Just returned from 4 nights camping in the Kimberley , used the power station to power the 40l engel and charge various USB devices. Used the solar blanket to recharge it and still had about 50% battery by the end of the trip.Weather was mild so maybe would have struggled to last the distance if it was hotter. Probably would be better with a bigger solar unit as was only getting about 70w input at best. Happy overall as the compact size is great for minimalist campers!

Magic previously had a arcpak and have found this one more user friendly
Brent R.
Power went out. No problem. I plugged in my tv and harddrive and watched my programs. This was a good opportunity to try out my power station. Thanks Brent.
RSM S.
Great little piece of gear...Light and easy to use...Perfect!

the 500 package is what I have been waiting for. I have been caravaning since 2015, travelling with anEngel Combi in the back of my 200 series L/cruiser. I was always reluctant to fit an additional deep sink battery and associated charger/battery box and associated wiring/connectors and switches.
Your system has answered all my requirements without any of the before mentioned set ups.
My only regret is not combining your larger solar collector, (8panel).
Photos not available, have not been out and about since purchase, but have pre-tested all aspects of operation. Thank you, another quality ITech product/system for my added comfort..

I have purchased 2 x 120 amp batteries, a battery charger and a 500 solar kit and am very happy with performance so far. I also wish to order a battery box but haven’t received a response. Please let me know as we do extended remote camping regularly on our land.
Keith M.
Finally got away camping for extended period! Figured out it won't run my CPAP machine if fully charged. About 84% seemed to be the magic number to run my CPAP. On days of sun was able to fully
charge the ITECH500 & at night ran our 12v lights to the 84% level. On days of no sun the unit had enough charge for 3 nights and then charged it up with generator. Small tip..altho it is in the instructions...is make sure you put unit in "transportation" mode to turn it off completely as it did trickle down when not active. Very impressed!
Royce F.
Need to separate tech info from hands on understanding and it (hands on)needs to be in bold print and plain language. All l needed to know was (I’n picture form)how to confidently hook up the solar blanket
To the Itech battery and same for the hook up from the battery itech to the fridge and then how to hookup the orchard battery direct to the 18 litre fridge at night.
Then tech side of it should be made plain and simple to the non tech minded person.
If you can’t do that then l won’t worry about considering your product.
If you make an improvement to to the instruction on the itech battery assembly then send me a copy and I’ll let you know.
You asked for it

Great unit.will be very handy.slow dilivery by Couriers please

Great piece of gear. the hook up is so easy and everything you need is supplied.
paul J.
Was watching this for some time and then a great deal came on so had to get it as a package. The combination works an absolute treat. I was keen to upgrade the battery to the larger one which the guys happily exchanged and I paid the difference - great foresight and customer service. Thanks iTech World.
Anthony C.
It arrived from the other side of the Country to Regional NSW in great time. It was very well packaged for transport.
I am yet to try it out, however you can tell it is well made & very robust - perfect for camping trips away off grid. I look forward to seeing how well the solar blanket works in keeping the charge up. Very happy with the purchase.
John W.
We took the solar generator on our recent camping trip to Sandstone and back. It worked very well. Charged the battery using both the car charger and the 140w solar blanket.
Used it to run endless 12v items but have not yet used the AC side of the unit. Very impressed and it's light to carry. Great unit.
John G.
We have not been home long enough too even unpack it yet
Robert W.
I come from an electronics background and am impressed by the design and quality of the product.
David K.
Great product works well light in weight and compact
Paul C.
I have not used it much yet. But when we had a blackout at home it came in real handy to power up phones and run the camp fridge.
Clayton G.
I purchased this item for my birthday and then a week later we had a blackout that lasted four days. This fabulous little product kept my phone, radio, torchs, bedside fan and phone power pack charged and ready each day as well as allowing my coffee maker as well as my 55in tv a turn of a morning and again of a evening so I could wake up, then keep in touch with the news and progress on current alerts/issues untill the power came back on. A real handy little game changer, easy to use and everything that it is advertised to be.
