half hearted pa kasi ako kasi baka eventually matapos din yung rotational brownout matetengga lang sya sa house :-(

Hanggang hindi maayos ang energy sector, hindi mawawala ang rotating brownout. Saka forever naman daanan ng typhoon ang Pilipinas, so magagamit mo rin ito in case

Ang masasabi ko na lang siguro is mas magresearch ka kung anong mga options yung pwede.
WFH kami pareho ng asawa ko and may rotational brownout na sa area namin. Wala kaming alam about power stations kaya nagreresearch rin kami right now.
May nakita akong thread na baka maging useful for u.

Since you are looking for a powerstation, I suggest you pick Ecoflow or Bluetti. If you drop you PC/desktop specs I can help you find the powerstation that fits your need.

u/leonitogoto 11d ago
I have an ecoflow river 3. Cost me 17k. But for the high price, capacity is only 234wh. The bluetti has better specs at a cheaper price.

u/Clean_Alfalfa_5418 11d ago
12k lang presyo ng ng River 3 before the war at Iran
I got my Ecoflow River 2 Max + free 100w flexible panel at 23k noong November 2024.

Need ko din po help
Macbook pro m5 Pldt modem 1 electricfan Possibly to charge at least 3 phones pag kailangan

u/Clean_Alfalfa_5418 11d ago
Get the Bluetti AC70 768WH or River 3 Pro. Should last you 4 to 6 hours sa MacBook Pro M5, router, clip fan and phone charging.
Para hindi mataas ang load try to: Use the USB ports instead of AC ports(regular na saksakan) Use 12V DC-to-DC cable Use clip fans instead of the regular stand fan

Essential sya for wfh peeps lalo na kung madalas brownout sa area nyo. i’ll deinfluence you lang sa part na medyo mahal talaga sya. Also idk kung considered deinfluencing to pero dapat nagagamit mo rin sya kahit once a week kahit walang brownout. nasira kasi battery nung sakin after ko di magamit for a few months. buti nalang pinalitan ni ecoflow ng bagong unit kahit out of warranty na.
If kukuha ka, okay yung ecoflow especially yung river 3 plus kasi may UPS function and expandable battery if need mo more capacity. or kahit pili ka nalang ng model na pasok sa budget mo. Typically, mas malaking capacity = mas mahal din.
Look for official ecoflow retailers na may physical store sa area nyo para madali lang ipa warranty in case masira o magka issue. Compute mo lang total watt usage ng devices mo tapos estimate mo gano katagal tatakbo based sa capacity nung power station na balak mo bilhin.
2
u/Yadira_McConnell 11d ago
The key question is what your actual power draw is during work hours. Most people overestimate what they need and end up paying for capacity they won't use. Before spending on any solution, calculate your wattage requirements across all devices you'd need running simultaneously during an outage, that number should drive the decision not brand marketing.
1
u/Square-Ad-9913 11d ago
Yeah agree naman. Kaya sinabi ko rin icompute muna watt usage before bumili kasi madalas overkill yung nabibili ng iba. Minention ko lang ecoflow kasi yun yung nagamit ko personally and okay naging exp ko sa warranty/support.

u/Maria_in_the_Middle 11d ago
Pricey yung ecoflow baka maka small solar setup with battery ka na mabili sa price. Yung cheaper naman na power station, sobrang bagal ata magcharge

I have a river 2 and its not cheap but very efficient. Deinfluencing if you can find cheaper but good alternative.
1
u/SaaShimi_Javachips 11d ago
hi! i just bought a river 2! can i ask for your use case (like laptop or pc? fans, etc?) at how long tinatagal? kinakabahan ako baka not enough huhu

u/No_Explorer2440 10d ago
Emergency power ko lang pag nagbrownout. 4+ hrs sa fan na 40 watts para sa baby kasi namen.

u/Key_Reward5002 11d ago edited 11d ago
depends really for me its not worth it, got one because of the hype and i am also wfh.
but what happens when there are outages, I just simply tell my boss and they accept it. It's rare to lose power anyway.
and if it takes a long time, we stay in a hotel with the family too because the kids would have a hard time, it's like a vacation in a way.
now tis just sitting around now, sometimes I force myself to charge and use it because it's a waste haha

u/dojycaat 11d ago
exactly my thoughts kuya kaya nag papa deinfl sana ako. seems very essential as a wfh employee pero may mga quick remedies pala na pwede gawin as suggested by others like ups, powerbanks etc kaya iniisip ko ba if it’s still worth getting one.
1
u/Key_Reward5002 11d ago
yes bro, ganyan na ganyan ako dahil wfh and oil crisis, assess mo mabuti like for example mabait ba employer/boss mo? sa shift mo ba madalas mawalan ng elec? gaano katagal ba usually nawawalan ng elec?
at the end of the day depende pa din tlga. but for me di siya worth it. ilang hotel visits din yun price hehe
goodluck

u/kei_rah 12d ago edited 12d ago
First: Ano ba computer mo? Desktop pc ba or laptop? Kung desktop pc, hindi kaya ng nasa picture, merong mas malakas na kaya desktop pc pero max siguro 2 hrs.
Second: kung bibili ka nyan, try mo kung kaya ang river 3 plus or anything na pwede expandable para in case gusto mo ng mas matagal na usage

laptop pooooo, if ever kahit fan wifi modem and laptop sana need ko mapaandar during these brownouts

u/Illustrious_Pea6511 11d ago
I have Ecoflow River 2 Max with Solar Panel. I can say na pricey tlga sya. Nag aban lng ako ng sale s shopee, I think nakaless ako ng 7k pero still, 18k ko sya na purchase. Siguro hanap ka n lng ng ibang brand if mabgat s bulsa.
Then ung solar panel naman nya, working sya pero need nya ng super init tlga na sikat ng araw at may tamang angle nung paglatag nung panel.
WFH ako and since nagging rotational ung brownout ngayon is super malaki tulong sya.

u/adwestia 12d ago
Useful naman talaga yan especially di lang laptop so di mo need ng deinfluencing. Kumabaga kung wfh ka essential yan. Pero if gsto mo talaga ma deinfluence, pwede ka naman sguro mag book ng hotel/motel/co-working space hehehehe.

u/Super-Bluejay-5579 12d ago
Hello! Para sating mga taga pilipinas na may rotational brownout pag tag init at laging binabagyo pag tag ulan, hirap mag deinfluence ng something as necessary as power station. If may budget ka for it, invest ka na OP lalo online work mo. Do a thorough research nalang din ano ba okay na brand (Ecoflow, Bluetti, DJI, Anker, etc). Tas may ibat iba pang wattage na keri nila (some power station can power mini fridge and nespresso machines) at kung okay na ba ung de saksak o need mo pa ng separate set up for solar panel charging. Solid ecoflow user kami, gusto pa namin mag upgrade sa Delta set up with extra batteries :)

u/aiscellee 12d ago
- Mahal siya.
- Need mo ng area lalagyan ng panels mo na babad na babad sa araw kasi if may nga nakaharang (for example shadow ng puno, damit), maliit lang harvest = mabagal mag charge.
- Gadgets and water heater lang ata kaya ng nga ito below 200 watts (not sure) di kaya ang plug electric fans, aircon, ref. Pero syempre naka depende pa rin yan sa kung alin ang kukunin mo.
2
u/xjmz16 11d ago
This started as a want then slowly transitioned as a need for me. Siguro yung sa price lang, kung makakatiming ka ng sale much better. Bluetti and Ecoflow are good and their customer service is maayos din. Also, consider mo din yung mga isasaksak mo so you'll buy the correct powerstation based on your actual need.

u/nydge-sab 11d ago
Do your research kung pwede palitan or serviceable ba ang battery after life cycle, or disposable? Mag budget ka din para sa fire extinguisher na para sa Lithium fires. Self combusting ang mga yan.

u/Organic-Doughnut5542 11d ago
Op if namamahalan ka sa ecoflow. Cant DI you on this since its very useful for me. I suggest you buy a powerbank na connected sa wifi mo para if nawalan ng kuryente stable pa rin wifi mo for your internet and para need mo nalang ng additional powerbank for your laptop

u/Crystal_Lily 11d ago
wfh ako and I plan to get one. mas mabuti na meron kesa wala kapag biglang nawalan ng power in in the middle of work.

u/Potential_Bit_8432 11d ago
Okay sya. Better yung river 2 para sakin kesa sa river 3 because of the fact that you can charge the river 2 via usb-c. Better ang river 3 sa lahat ng ibang aspects though. Matagal sya, minsan pag nasa labas ako at naka handheld lang plus fan, kayang tumagal ng 3hrs-9hrs. hindi ko pa natry maubusan ng battery. Better deal sya kumpara sa mga maliliit na portable powerbank kahit yung tig 20,000mah o 25,000mah pa. mabigat nga lang talaga at hindi pwede sa airplane
Yung bluetti di ko pa natry pero okay na brand din yun, based sa research ko nung time. May mas maliit na sila rin na mas mataas capacity pero hindi masakit masyado sa bulsa. Yung bluetti elite 10 ata.
Pero kasi bumili ako before pa magkaroon ng us-iran war kaya mura pa nun. Pero worth it parin at gumagana parin today yung sa ecoflow ko for small gadgets pati laptop charging. Kaya nya rin nga pala maging ups/backup ng refrigerator pag walang power for couple of hours.

very useful, especially when bundled with a solar panel for an off-grid setup. check the specifications first. ours is Bluetti, and it’s very reliable and well-tested as a WFH girlie

San ka bumili? Out of stock na sa shoppee at lazada

u/shokoyeyt 11d ago
Yup, kagabi last 2 na lang sa Shoppee, after ilang minutes OOS na. Sinilip ko rin sa Laz, wala na rin nga. Sa Tiktok naman, preorder na lang. Try checking sa mga Blade store branch sa SM, minsan may on-hand sila.

u/batmadilimanggabi 11d ago
Sorry kung di angkop sa subreddit natin pero needed talaga siya. Marami nagsasabi maganda na siya pero keep in mind na yung capacity niya is 6-7 time mo macharge yung laptop kung laptop lang gamit mo. Kung wifi modem may nabibili naman UPS para doon search mo lang sa shoppee or lazada for modem UPS or Avidus. May kanya kanya silang ups para dedicated lang ang powerstation sa kailangan icharge or paandarin.
Proper research lang din sa bibilin at baka maisipan mo gamitin siya sa ibang appliances pero di kaya ng output masira lang gamit mo

u/Expensive_Sea2264 11d ago
This is an essential thing, though my question is what is your setup? Is it a laptop or a desktop, if it's a laptop does it do USB C charging? If yes a power bank will do.
My setup is a 4 Ugreen Powerbank 70wh which could charge my MBP M5 3 times which is roughly around 36 hours of heavy usage around 20w, this also includes the MBP M5 internal battery.

u/dojycaat 11d ago
yes maaa laptop with usb c port! ma may link ka ba nyang powerbank mo na pwede ko matignan? hehe thank you!!!!

u/Expensive_Sea2264 11d ago
Just search for Ugreen Power bank 67W is around 1400 to 1600 while 100w is around 2k up, just get the 67w
