A do-it-all portable power bank
Whether you're on a road trip, enjoying the outdoors, on a camping trip, or at home during a power outage, keeping your devices charged is paramount. Not only do they provide entertainment and comfort, but they also give you a way to stay informed and in communication with family and emergency services. Monster's Power Grid is a portable, high-capacity power bank with tons of ways to power your smartphone, tablet, or even that all-important laptop.
Connections for just about anything
The Power Grid has a plethora of connection options, and each section can be turned on or off by onboard push-buttons. There's a 12V/10A DC barrel connection you can use to power your gear, or you can use it to trickle charge your car's battery. The "cigarette lighter" DC port can be used with any device that has a matching plug, like a low-power CB radio, FM transmitter, and more. The Power Grid's twin 300-watt AC outlets have you covered if you need to power home appliances.
The three onboard USB-A ports and the single fast-charging USB-C port can charge your portables multiple times over, including MacBook® laptops. There's even a Qi charging pad on top of the unit for wireless charging.
The Power Grid has plenty of charging ports and connections to keep your devices going.
Useful extra features
There's a built-in LED flashlight on the side opposite the power connections. The flashlight is plenty bright for seeing around your campsite or car, and comes pre-programmed with an S.O.S. setting in case of an emergency. There are also status indicators that let you know which power ports are in use and how much juice remains in the Power Grid before it needs recharging.

The lightweight power station features 2 AC Outlets, a DC Output, a Car Port (lighter socket), USB-A and -C ports, wireless Qi charging, along with a built-in flashlight and a convenient LCD display.
Internal Battery: The Monster Power Grid 300 features a built-in Lithium ion rechargeable battery that can provide up to 296Wh of energy. The internal battery gets charged through a DC Input port. Two charging cables are provided; an AC power supply (18VDC/3A output), for recharging from an AC outlet, and a 12VDC Lighter Adapter cable, for recharging from a vehicle power outlet. The Power Grid 300 can also be charged using the optional Solar Panel Charger (sold separately). The internal Lithium ion battery has a life cycle of approximately 500 charges, and takes approximately 8 hours to charge using the AC power supply, and approximately 12 hours using the 12V car adapter cable. The Battery icon on the LCD display will flash while the internal battery is being recharged and will turn off automatically when charging is completed.
Charging Outputs: The Monster Power Grid 300 features 9 charging outputs that can all be used simultaneously. Each section of output types has its own activation button that will illuminate when active. The LCD display will also indicate which charging outputs are active.
- AC Outlets (2): The Power Grid 300's built-in pure sine wave inverter can provide up to 300W @110VAC/60Hz to the two 3-prong AC outlets, with the total output power divided between the two. These can be used for household appliances, CD and DVD players, power tools, and more.
- DC Outputs (2): Two DC outputs are provided, a DC barrel-connector and a 12V vehicle-type power socket, that can supply up to 120W (12VDC/10A) of power between the two.
- Trickle Charge: The Power Grid 300 can be used to trickle charge a 12V vehicle battery using the supplied DC barrel-plug/lighter adapter cable. Charging time will vary with the condition of the battery being charged.
- USB: The Monster power station includes three USB-A outputs that can each provide a 5V/2.4A output. A USB-C PD60W port is also included that can provide up to 60W of power for fast-charging compatible devices.
- Wireless Qi Charging: A Qi charging pad on top of the Power Grid 300 lets you wirelessly rapid-charge your compatible device without the need for connecting cables. The Qi wireless charging pad can provide up to 10W of power to your device.
LCD Display: An easy-to-read LCD screen displays the current internal battery level when the Power button is pressed. Icons for Wireless Charging, AC, DC, USB-A, and USB-C will light to indicate which charging outputs are active. A warning icon will illuminate if a problem arises.
Flashlight: The Monster Power Grid 300 features a built-in 2W LED light on one end. Along with lighting solid, the LED can be set to flash rapidly or flash SOS.
Protection: The Power Grid 300 features built-in protection circuits that will activate to help protect the power station if one of the following faults is detected: Short Circuit, Over-Current, Over-Voltage, Low-Voltage, Overload, and High/Low Temperature.

We used this to power 3 strands of 150 Christmas lights each for several hours in a Christmas parade display. The battery was still at full capacity at the end! It was a fantastic alternative to all the generators running around us. I look forward to tailgating with it. Very nice build quality.
