Dead after a few charges – This product is not fit for purpose. Spent $1000 and now no longer power up. How is this junk able to be sold in Australia. Outbax, you need to support your customers by getting them repaired. You’ve dumped us. Show details

Frankly, this product is a disgrace & should not bear the Hyundai brand name. This is an update – Good to see it is now discontinued, however, that does not alter the fact that many consumers have a A$2000 "paper weight". Furthermore the situation is exacerbated by the shonky outfit, Outbax. I have had 2 units, one went completely dead so it was returned, the other has never worked correctly. Recently a young lady sent me a response suggesting… Read more

I leave the unit switched on in an attempt to flatten the battery. It was powering my fridge, pushing out 50W whilst flashing 1% red but would not flatten. I took her advice & left it on for about 5 days until lo & behold it showed 0%. I turned it off & then last night tried a re-charge from the mains. This morning it showed, for the first time, 100%, hallelujah. Will need to use it & see if it is giving accurate data.

Further update. Following the 100% charge we used it for a couple of days & it ran down to 2%. Put… Read more

Avoid, works several times then dies – Paid close to $2000 for one of these units from Outbax to run a fridge (under 50w) during blackouts, used several times then found it will not charge or turn on anymore. Contacted Outbax for warranty only to find I'm a couple of months past the 12 month warranty, so bad luck. Expect a battery this expensive to last longer than one year with very light use. Show details

Dies very quick – Stopped working about a week after buying, contacting them resulted in being asked to ship it back to them to be fixed at roughly half the cost to buy new. Asking for instructions to fix myself led to nothing and now I have a very expensive paperweight Show details

Hyundai HPS-300 Portable Power Station – Purchased the HPS-300 Portable Power Station less than 2 years ago,HPS-300 is no longer under warranty but I purchased to use as power backup for my wife's electric home hospital bed. HPS-300 has only been used a couple of times over the past two years but I recently tried to jump start my 3 litre car when unit failed to start car and fault… Read more

occurred. I had electronic tech look at unit and he removed front panel and re-charged battery to full charge, the unit now switches on & off but only shows blue led, nothing else works and screen will not light up. He thinks front panel circuit board could be damaged but unsure as he was unable to source circuit diagram. I contacted Outbax Camping where I purchased HPS-300 for technical support but it appears these units cannot be repaired and circuit diagrams are unavailable. The Hyundai HPS-300 costs $800 but is now useless! I would not recommend these products for purchase because if they develop a fault, backup service is not available. Other larger models also have similar problems DO NOT BUY

Great until it gets a fault then it's nothing but a paperweight as it has no maintainable parts! – Under two years old. Showing no charge, refusing to take a change saying it was charging when nothing connected. Supplier says it's a sealed unit and so can't be repaired! Show details

Don't buy – After 13 months y hyundai hps 1100 started faulting, saying it was charging when it wasn't. Nowit won't switch on, Hyundai product support is minimal. When you spend near enough £1000 you expect a quality product with Good customer service

HPS 1600 Reset BMS as not changing – My HPS 1600 Would not charge. It was at 90% I left it on overnight and was still same in the morning. Ran a toaster a few times to lower it to 84% and then put it on the solar blanket for 4 hours. No change. I sent a email to Outbax and they replied. Hyundai state for BMS reset. Run flat and that resets the BMS and then fully charge without… Read more

anything attached. I ran it down at the rate of 900w from a heater on low till 1% then it was quite hot with the internal fan on. So I put it onto a smaller load of 130w for over an hour and it cooled but was still at 1%. The 1% lasts for a long time. It had not achieved 0% But I tried charge anyway and it has now been charging at the rate if 8%/hr. So all good and thanks Outbax for your help. I couldn't find any info anywhere on the net about reset. Cheers Mark

Failed on the first use – I honestly wanted to love this power station due to its sleek design, well known brand and it featured a good number of inputs and outputs... but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. On the first use after charging it to 100% I plugged it into my small refrigerator (pulls 450w surge, 80w average). After about 40 minutes there was a strong burning… Read more

smell coming from the unit but it still appeared to be functioning and was still powering the fridge. However I later found out that it could no longer be charged by AC or solar. Because it's such a heavy object, returning it was also a pain and the seller (Outbax) didn't make the process easy due to their lack of communication and ignoring my requests for a refund for the return shipping costs.

Expected better considering the cost – Cost almost $1000. Bought around Oct 2020. Within a few months it would only charge to 78%. Tried fully discharging, no change. Now, less than 12 months old and won't charge at all. Not looking forward to the returns process, as the place I bought it from had very poor service to begin with, taking an extra 6 months to get the cables to me.  Show details

after 4 month, battery now cannot get it fully charged – Just bought HPS-1100, ordered on 11th of Dec 2020, picked up from post office on 23th of Dec 2020. At the beginning it works fine. but now (14th of March 2021) the battery won't fully charged. It always shows 79% and I have charged for one week without using it. The LCD display is fine. when I use it, the battery percentage will drop to 74%, 73%,… Read more

which is normal. But looks like the battery can only charge up to 79%. (now becomes 74% after one day charge... doesn't look good).

Spend over AU$2000 for something can't last for 4 month???

Fantastic power station... runs like a dream! – Bought this for our 30ft motor home. As well as medical backup power we need at home. Haven’t taken it outdoors yet due to the lockdowns. However we did try it on several products and it’s been reliable. Build quality is impressive and the finish looks nice. Great fast service from the website. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a power station or even a generator replacement. This replaces our Yamaha.
