FXLION MAX2400 Portable Power Station Announced – First Look

September 17th, 2023 Jump to Comment Section

During IBC 2023, we stopped by FXLION’s booth to check out their brand-new MAX2400 Pure Sine Wave Portable Power Station. This powerhouse integrates four AC outlets, a DC car socket, two USB-A, and two USB-C outputs, as well as wireless charging to power a wide range of devices when shooting in the wild.

Traditional power generators are still widely used on set, especially since they can be quickly refueled. By the way, we have a quick guide with tricks and tips for using “gennies” on set. You can check it out here.

However, we are currently witnessing the rapid spread of quieter, greener power solutions – such as the Aputure DELTA Pro. On the show floor at IBC 2023, André Kurtz from FXLION introduced us to their forthcoming MAX2400 power station. Let’s take a quick look!

FXLION MAX2400 – features

The new FXLION MAX2400 is a portable power station with a massive capacity of 2060.8Wh (40Ah). It measures 47.9×34.9×34.4mm and weighs approximately 28.5kg, so it’s fairly compact and easy to transport to remote locations.

The powerhouse has a built-in AC converter and features four AC power outlets rated at 230V/16A each. Additionally, it integrates a DC car socket output (12V/5A), as well as dual USB-A and USB-C (100W) ports.

But that’s not all. Indeed, FXLION decided to include wireless charging (10W) even in this massive battery. This is similar to what they have been doing with their recently updated NANO Wireless V-mount battery series. You can simply place your phone on top of the FXLION MAX2400 to give it a power boost, for example.

According to André, the MAX2400 has a built-in 1500W charging mechanism and can be fully recharged in about 1.5 hours. You can choose between two charging modes: 1500W fast-charging or Eco. The Eco mode is gentler on the Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells and can be used to preserve battery life. By the way, the battery is said to have a lifespan of approximately 2000 cycles.

This power station’s other useful features include a front status LCD screen, support for 800W solar charging, as well as a rugged aluminum frame with rubber corner guards that make it easy to stack multiple MAX2400s. Lastly, the battery is said to be equipped with safeguards for over-current, over-discharge, overload, and over-voltage protection during both charging and discharging.

Price and availability

According to André, the new FXLION MAX2400 will start shipping in a couple of months. The suggested retail price is around $3900.
