Overview
Like every other battery power station, LEOCH can provide you power in a wake of a storm. It can also power your campsite without having to stand the constant noise of a gas-fueled generator. Furthermore, it has more than enough capacity and many different outlets to help you run some of your appliances and charge your electronic devices all at the same time. And with the addition of portable solar panels, you have more charging options and experience longer runtime.
In terms of price, LEOCH is surprisingly cheaper than many power stations today. It is available on Indiegogo for only $1,049 or around AU$1,370. With one solar panel, it costs $1,309 or AU$1,700. While other similar products, like the Bluetti AC200P, costs more at $1,999.99 without the solar panel. There’s also the Yeti 3000X, which costs even more at $3,200.
Features
High Battery and Power Capacity
LEOCH has a battery capacity of 2,048Wh, and all four of its AC ports can support 2,000W. Meaning, you can use it to run a refrigerator, coffee machine, electric drill, and other electric tools. It can also power a CPAP machine, lamps, lights, microwave, and even your Tesla.
Many Different Ports
LEOCH can handle 13 devices with ease. It offers four international AC wall outlets, a car charging outlet, two fast-charging USB ports, two regular USB ports, and two power delivery USB-C ports. That’s right. Just like the Bluetti AC200P, you can use LEOCH to charge your electric car. And because of the PD ports that max at 65W, you can easily use it with your power-hungry laptops and MacBooks.
Different Modes of Charging
You can charge LEOCH in four ways: 300W solar input, 300W AC input, 300W external charger, and 150W DC input. You can even use a combination of these methods for faster charging. This will allow you to recharge the station to 80% in just 3 hours. Just make sure you don’t go beyond the max input of 900W.

LEOCH is very similar to the Bluetti AC200P in terms of battery capacity. Both have huge battery capacities with LEOCH slightly higher at 2,048Wh than Bluetti with 2000Wh. But both are no match with Yeti 3000X’s 3032Wh capacity. However, all three power stations offer a high AC inverter continuous load of 2000W. But in terms of surge capacity, Bluetti rates higher with 4800W, LEOCH is second with 4000W, and the Yeti 3000X ranks last with 3,500W.
That said, a 4000W surge is still pretty impressive. It means it can handle some of the devices or tools that initially operate with more power, such as drilling machines and refrigerators. Overall, the LEOCH is at the same level, and sometimes even better, than most leading battery power stations today.

LEOCH’s solar panel has a Solar Energy Conversion Rate of 22% to 25%, which is higher than the average rate of 15% in the market. Another great thing about this panel is that it can be folded into a small size, making it portable and easy to carry around. For faster charging through solar, you can also use 300W panels. Use two sets, and you can achieve the maximum 600W solar input. This allows you to charge the LEOCH faster with solar power.
Aesthetics
The LEOCH looks incredibly cool for a power station. It appears more like a gaming rig with its aluminum alloy housing and reinforced ABS+PC shed, which also makes it durable and secure. These materials, along with the LED lights on the sides, make this one tough-looking power source.
What’s It Like to Use
At 32kg, LEOCH isn’t exactly lightweight. It’s huge, and bigger and heavier than the Bluetti AC200P. Luckily, it comes with wheels, so you can at least maneuver it better. This also allows you to take this power station anywhere you want.
LEOCH is extremely easy to operate. Just turn it on and plug the devices you want to charge or run. There’s also a convenient screen that displays all the important information about the LEOCH. This will help you monitor and control your power usage. To make it even better, this power station features a storage compartment on top for your AC charging cable and car charging cable (Anderson).
Final Thoughts
LEOCH has the power, battery capacity, and safety features to meet most of your needs in case of power outages or outdoor adventures. It can power almost everything, from your home appliances, gadgets, laptops, light, and even your electric car. While it may not be the most compact and portable of all battery power stations, it certainly is among the most powerful. It’s quiet and requires no maintenance as well. So if you are looking for a reliable and durable backup battery that won’t empty your pockets, LEOCH is one of your best options.
