Neither the description or their own website tells you what type of battery is in here, and there’s zero mention of NRTL Certification. In fact their own website seems confused about what it is, as it lists, “Engine Type 4 Stroke”
Why is woot even selling this fire hazard?
[TT: Seriously?]
From those pics, it looks like their primary safety certifications are from SGS and TUV, both of which are NRTLs.

Wanting to get one of these with solar charger… maybe if the solar panel was half that price…
I told them that yesterday when I previewed the event! they changed the plus event page but not the daily page.
Something looks different about you.
Haircut?
You need a tiny boogie van.
I’ll have to take your word on that. Have a great day!
So I got mine and was verifying it worked. I find it extremely difficult to see the display in daylight. Anyone else have this problem and/or a work around?
I do realize this is meant for power outages, however, I’d like to be able to see the charging status during the day.
Is there a protective film over it by chance?
I haven’t checked in daylight yet, but I’ll get back to you on that. It has done fine with my initial usage in the garage, and in the shade of a patio in the evening.
There was. I removed it =)
YAY! I fixed it! I fixed it!
Oops. Should have been more clear. I had removed it previous to my first post.
DRAT!
LCD screen maybe? Those aren’t as bright.
I just had cataract surgery and it has made a HUGE difference in what I can see.
Yesterday I was looking at my phone in the sunlight and I COULD STILL SEE THE SCREEN!
Have you considered that? Or, maybe use some sunglasses to look at the screen?
