We have finally put together a detailed Audew portable power station review for you. Audew is well-know for its jumpstarter portable power lineup but the Audew 200W portable power station is entirely a portable power station for powering devices, and won’t be coming with any jumper cables. Nonetheless, Audew being one of our best portable power station brands, we expected nothing short of topnotch performance with the Audew 200W.
And as we expected, there was plenty to love about the Audew 200W including the lightweight design that makes it highly portable and the built-in battery management system that guarantees safety. Of course, we had a few minor complaints but overall we were more than satisfied.

Audew Portable Power Station Features
1. Multiple power outlets: The Audew 200W comes with a cluster of 5 power outlets: one 110 volts AC outlet, two 12 volts DC outlets and 2 USB ports. You can, therefore, charge an array of devices including smartphones, laptops, cameras, drones, fans and more. The upper limit is 200 watts with AC though, so ensure that the devices you charge do not exceed 200 watts, otherwise, the built-in battery management system will shut off the AC output and switch to DC. 2. Battery Management System (BMS): The Audew 200W has a built-in battery management system to keep the built-in lithium-ion battery within safe operating limits at all times. The BMS prevents overtemperature, under temperature, overcurrent, overvoltage, and other unfavorable conditions. 3. 200-watt capacity: With its 200-watt power capacity, the Audew 200W will conveniently power most of your important devices including LED lights, laptops, smartphones, car fridge, CPAP, drones, etc. If you choose to charge one device at a time, you can charge a smartphone more than 20 times, a laptop up to 5 times and a minifridge up to 5 hours. 4. Pure sine wave output: The Audew 200W supplies devices with pure sine wave current thanks to the built-in smart energy control system (SEC). That means your devices get clean power just like the one from your AC wall outlet. Pure sine wave output which is safer than modified sine wave output, runs devices such as CPAP, fans and car fridges, safely and efficiently. 5. Unlimited portability: If you are looking for a lightweight power station to take with you when traveling, the Audew 200W is light enough to carry wherever you go. It weighs just 7.12 lbs which shouldn’t be a problem to carry by hand or in a backpack. Additionally, the compact (13.8 x 8.3 x 5.5 inches) construction takes up very little space in a backpack or in a car leaving plenty of room for other essentials.
Real-World Testing
Audew 200W comes with all the features you would expect in a quality portable power station. It’s highly portable at just 7.12 lbs. It’s super compact measuring 13.8 x 8.3 x 5.5 inches. And it comes with five power outlets that power up to 5 devices simultaneously. On top of that, 5 LED lights indicate the battery level though an LCD display would have looked more modern.
To find the highest wattage device we could power with the Audew 200W, we tested an array of devices we would consider high wattage for the Audew 200W capacity. So we left out the lower wattage devices such as smartphones, tablets and LED lights which the Audew 200W will easily charge multiple times. We first tried a 60-watt outdoor fan, which the Audew 200W ran very well. Then we tested an 85-watt 49-inch LED TV and again the Audew 200W powered it seamlessly. So we thought, we might as well try a higher wattage device. We plugged in a 200-watt paper shredder and we were able to shred a few papers. But when we plugged in a 270-watt projector the Audew 200W couldn’t turn it on. Yes, the Audew 200W won’t power anything above 200 watts, and if you try to plug in any device above that the BMS will shut it off.
We were curious about how long the Audew 200W could power some everyday devices before it ran out of power, so we connected it to a 50-watt car fridge and let it run for as long as it could. When it completely run out of power, just over 4 hours had passed. Next, we wanted to know how helpful it could be in the great outdoors, so we recharged it to capacity then connected it to a 60-watt outdoor fan — it powered the fan for just over three hours before all the power was drained. Finally, we tried to charge a couple of laptops from different brands and the Audew 200W charged four of them to capacity before it went dead.
Most portable power stations take quite some time to charge, and that’s why we were keen to find out just how long we had to wait for the Audew 200W to charge to capacity with AC, DC and solar. We tested this over a couple of days, each time we would drain all the power by powering some of our high wattage devices, before recharging it. We realized that the recharge time with AC and DC is almost the same, with the Audew 200W taking 8 hours to charge fully with the two options. But with the compatible 30-watt solar panel we used, the Audew 200W took over 11 hours to charge — it will probably take less than that if you invest in a 50-watt or 100-watt solar panel.
Who is the Audew 200W Portable Power Station for?
