EcoFlow TRAIL 300 DC is a pocket-sized power station with no AC outlet: it only outputs DC, from the USB-C and USB-A ports and from an input that takes either a foldable panel or the car cable. The battery is lithium iron phosphate and fits in one hand.
The two USB-C ports reach a hundred forty watts each, enough for a laptop as well as a phone. There's no app, and no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi either: it's controlled from the buttons and the screen on the panel, which means it still works when the phone is dead, but also that it can't be checked from a distance.
It's for anyone hiking, cycling or paddling who wants to keep a phone, an action camera, a headlamp or a satellite communicator charged over several days running. It isn't a home reserve: anything that wants a wall outlet doesn't plug in here.

Pros and cons
In favour
- Two USB-C ports at a hundred forty watts each: they charge a laptop, not just a phone.
- The same input takes the solar panel or the car cable: outdoors it fills up either way.
- Two and a half kilos: it fits in a backpack's side pocket. source
