Apart from the more office friendly design, what would you say differentiates you from the established players in this market, specifically Goal Zero?

LIFEPOWR A3

Jan's reply below sums it up nicely! Being an obvious mobile product, the Sherpa 100 weighs more and is larger than the A2. Another addition: Goal Zero hasn't made any moves yet into the direction op USB-C Power Delivery, on the contrary, we try to stay ahead of the game and offer the newest technologies, eg the A3: https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

I believe the key differentiators between us and the rest of the market is performance and value. While other players might have more bells and whistles on their powerpacks, we prefer our slick yet durable design. If you look at dimensions & weight, the Sherpa 100 is the one goal zero product that is the most comparable to the A2. The sherpa 100 is $299 while the A2 is $249. The AC inverter on the sherpa is optional and will set you back another $50. The performance (recharge time, capacity) of these 2 is comparable. The sherpa has more ports, but the A2 is lighter. I hope that answers your question @andreasduess ?

Is this US power outlet only or would a 🇬🇧 plug also work? I noticed there were multiple socket holes.

@adammydesign There are 2 versions of the A2: 1. EU/international model: AC output: AC 230V / 50 Hz / max. 120W peak 2. US model: AC output: AC 120V / 60 Hz / max. 120W peak The EU/international model comes with an international adapter that works with all plugs except the South-African type M plug 🤷 https://lifepower.be/product/int...

@jan_danckers Awesome, thanks for the info. Sometimes feel that companies take a shortcut for nut including EU/International because it's bigger profile.

@adammydesign We wanted to keep the A2 slim, but didn't want to take the shortcut you mentioned. The international plug is in our opinion the cheapest and easiest way for all your three pin/grounded plugs.

Thanks for hunting us Jack :) The LIFEPOWR A2 L is the first AC powerbank with a maximum output of 120 Watt. Portable solar panels are optional 🌞 Currently we're building an improved version of the A2 that fully supports the new USB Type-C Power Delivery standard. It packs (2) USB-C / Thunderbolt3 ports up to 20V / 5A, (2) QC3.0 USB-A ports and an AC outlet (120W). Check out the A3 on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

Need. Want. Although, 1 observation is that the AC wall plug outlet is awkwardly positioned. It'll only accomodate device plugs that are the exact width of the outlet, but as we all know, many devices have bricks integrated w/ the plug. Granted, you could just buy a short extension cable. Ideally you wouldn't need one. Maybe place the plug on the top of the unit so there's no obstructions? Not as pretty, but UX>UI amirite ;). When the market gets flooded with these portable mega-power units, there's a good chance it'll come down to minor conveniences like that.

@wuss Hi Noah, depends on what version you need. The US version has 3 pins (as you can see on the 4th image) and the EU/international version has a standardized cut-in and width for 2-pin chargers. This also has to do with EU safety regulations. This version comes with an extra international adapter for grounded or 3-pin plugs. And regarding UX & UI, we don't compromise :)

Awesome product! Had meetings all day at a start-up conference and needed my laptop to go through the day on battery. Lifepower is the best solution. Love it! 😍🔋

@jan_danckers Hey, What would you say is the key "differentiator" between LifePowr and OmniCharge https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@eonpilot The most obvious is of course the mAh (20400 vs 27000) & the capacity (73Wh vs 99.9Wh). The omnicharge also has active cooling, while the A2 is passive; the aluminum design doesn't require a fan. The A2 is also cheaper.💰 During their Indiegogo campaign they announced full USB-C power delivery, but I can't find anything about on their website. The A2 doesn't have USB-C either, but we've managed to integrate it in our new A3. https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...
