This is not an extensive review of the new E-Infinite Combokit power station as I am a UK blogger and I have been sent to the US power station.
E-infinite is a new brand on the market and I can only find one site that mentions the new Combokit.

is using
Because I’m in the UK, my testing is limited. I can’t charge the device and don’t want to buy a buck converter to charge it. I also don’t have any US appliances to plug into it.
The label at the bottom also indicates that it is a test prototype.
I’m having issues with USB-C. My Pixel 6 won’t charge it, and other phones struggle to draw more than 5W from it.
The USB-A port works fine and the two fast charging ports are limited to 18W.
I like the idea of a detachable handle with a light, and to a certain extent, it works fine. It has a microUSB port for charging and a USB-A port for charging devices. You’d think that when it docked with a power station, it would automatically charge, but that’s not the case.
Price vs Jackery, EcoFlow and Anker PowerHouse
The E-Infinite Combokit Power Station Mini has an MSRP of $779, and you can get an early bird discount of $210, bringing it down to $569.
The Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station costs $529.99, but has a slightly lower power rating of 518Wh.
The EcoFlow RIVER Max is 576Wh with an output of 600W (Surge 1200W) for $599.
Alternatively, there’s the 720Wh RIVER Pro for $649.
All Jackery and EcoFlow power stations come with a 2 year warranty.
The Anker PowerHouse 512Wh is $600 with superior battery technology and has a 5-year warranty, and the Anker 545 (PowerHouse 778Wh) is $700, although that’s only an 18-month warranty.
Comparison with Jackery, EcoFlow and Anker PowerHouse
Since I can only test this to a limited extent, I have to rely on comparisons with the competition.
As mentioned above, early bird pricing is on the same level as many great, well-known options. The full MSRP is ridiculous and I don’t see them selling it for that.
While I really like the E-Infinite Combokit power station, there are a few things that put it at a disadvantage compared to other brands:
- 1 Year Warranty – This seems very limited for an expensive piece of technology. All of the above brands have superior warranties.
- Limited Surge – All other brands offer 2x the surge power output for 50% less overhead.
- 100W Solar Input – Both Anker and Ecoflow can do 200W.
comprehensive
The E-Infinite Combokit is theoretically a good powerhouse if priced at an early bird discount. But it’s not great.
The 620Wh capacity gives it a slight edge over the competition (price vs capacity). In particular, the overall specs are better than the similarly priced Jackery Explorer 500. I also like the built-in detachable flashlight handle.
However, I ran into issues with the USB-C port, which didn’t give me much hope for a long-term overall experience.
It’s worth remembering that this is a test unit and may have initial issues.
Assuming everything works, I think it’s a tough sell when you already have a lot of other great options.
Due to the nature of its testing, it’s US not UK and other issues, I didn’t rate it.
