Bright LED lighting
The M82 Max is fitted with a 3-level brightness LED flashlight able to shine for 67+ hours. It has a steady light and emergency flashing SOS mode, so you can feel safer when out camping or hiking on an adventure trail
The long-lasting and powerful flashlight is also a great tool to have on hand when the power goes at home out and you're left in the dark.
Battery safety with built-in Battery Management System (BMS)
Like in the bigger power stations, the M82 Max has enhanced safety provided by a Battery Management System (BMS). This monitors and controls voltage and temperature, as well as having other advanced safety features such as automatic shutoff in cases of over-voltage or short-circuit.
Temperatures of the unit's power supply and electrical components are also controlled by cooling vents on the rear of the unit.
Two Ways to Recharge
Flexible recharging modes include your home AV wall outlet, plus Solar Panels, including the Marbero 30W and 60W variant.
Upgraded Capacity
Small, lightweight and capable of charging a variety of your essential equipment either at home or out and awy from the grid.
Incredibly Portable
They don't come much lighter and compact than this. Just 2.4lbs and measuring 6.5 x 4.1 x 3.1 inches coupled with an ergonomic handle to make carrying the unit even easier.

I got my Marbero M82 Max 3000mah in May of 2022. now, it will not hold a charge & the 120v output will not work. everything else works if you keep it plug in. Can I return it for a new one or get my money back?
Hi Donald, that's unfortunate. Contact whoever you bought the unit from as it should be under warranty.
