The itel 500W inverter (often called the
itel Energy 500W Inverter Power Tank) is a 3-in-1 portable solar power system, a 1,000Wh LiFePO4 battery, and an MPPT charge controller. It provides silent backup power for basic electronics like laptops, lights, and TVs.
- 3-in-1 Design: Combines a pure sine wave inverter, a battery pack, and a solar charge controller into a single unit.
- Battery Capacity: Features a 1,000Wh (1kWh) LiFePO4 battery rated for over 6,000 cycles and a long lifespan.
- Fast Dual Charging: Recharges quickly in roughly 2 hours using a combined AC grid (NEPA) and solar input.
- Seamless UPS Switchover: Automatically switches to battery power in under 20 milliseconds during a grid failure.
- Safety Protections: Built-in safeguards against over-voltage, short-circuits, and high temperatures.
- Continuous Output Power: 500 Watts (with 1000W surge capacity)
- Output Waveform: Pure Sine Wave (safe for sensitive electronics)
- Solar (PV) Input: Up to 400W MPPT controller
- Price Range: Approximately ₦338,625 on retail sites like Jumia Nigeria.
Ideal Usage & Limitations
- What it can power: Laptops, Wi-Fi routers, small fans, LED lights, and TVs (appliances under a combined 500W load).
- What it cannot power: Heavy heating or cooling appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators (most standard sizes exceed limit or surge too high), microwaves, or electric kettles.
