The Mega 2 is OUPES's 2,048 Wh LiFePO4 station from its Mega line, a 48.5 lb box with four 120 V 20 A outlets, a TT-30R RV outlet and no wheels.
It suits an RV owner or home-backup buyer with high-voltage solar panels who wants 2 kWh now and room for 10 kWh later, and who will not lean on a surge rating that failed under test.
