Thanks for the review. Just one question: Does the GoLabs R150 have built-in circuit protection - particularly over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and overcharging protection? Thanks for your time in answering my question. Jeff Belford.
Hi Jeff, I don't believe this particular model has a Battery Management System to provide the kind of protection you mention. Although it is hard to find information about the provenance of any power station, probably because almost all are made in China, the Golabs line up of devices are I believe rebadged Chinese power stations made by a company called ZTGF.
