Features

Lithium Cube EX18
Introducing the next generation of power stations, the Lithium Cube EX Series! The Lithium Cube EX18 power station features an updated long-lasting LiFePo4 battery, Fast-charging, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), Pass-thru charging, Parallel capability, and just plain good looks.

Features
LiFePo4 - The LiFePo4 Battery allows more lifecycles, longer lifespan, deeper discharging, and is fast-chargeable. It's the best-of-the-best battery in terms of power, lifespan, and reliability available in the market today.

UPS - the UPS function, or "Uninterruptible Power Supply", allows you to keep important devices (like a computer or a CPAP Machine) plugged into the EX18 and, in the case of a power outage, you won't lose power to those devices - erasing critical data or losing precious airway pressure.

Pass Through Charging - keep the Lithium Cube EX18 plugged into your favorite power source and continue to use the EX18's outlets for non-stop charging of all devices.

Paralleling - Two units can be combined to double the output and double the battery capacity. With the addition of the paralleling cable (sold separately), the EX18 will double its running output from 1800W to 3600W and take its 1440Wh battery to a combined capacity of 2880Wh.

Fast-Charging - the included fast-charging AC adapter allows the EX18 to go from 0% battery capacity to 100% in about 1.5 hours allowing you to spend more time doing what you love without wasting time waiting around for the unit to charge!

Solar Input - You can connect up to 600W of solar panels to make this a true solar generator that will free you from the grid. The EX18 utilizes a powerful MPPT solar charge controller to ensure minimal loss of collected solar input and to maximize efficiency.

Portability
Tall, slender, with a stable base - yes we have though of everything. We realize that space may be limited when packing your vehicle for that excursion, this is why we've designed the unit to take up less floor space and more airspace. Please don't report us to the FAA.

Solar Connectivity
A true solar generator. Utilizing its 600W input, you can recharge the EX18 within a few hours using solar panels and the sun. The EX18 has a universal Anderson Powerpole connector that makes attaching a solar panel fool-proof. Use your existing solar panel set-up, or take a look at our high efficiency solar panels to take your power game to the next level.

Usability
The inverter, while still being pure sine wave, will output 1800W between the 4 AC outlets with a peak surge capability of up to 3600W - this is great for people on jobsites with power-hungry tools & lighting!

For those thinking of using it off-grid while camping, RV'ing, or at your cabin, the EX18 is perfectly suited to power your necessary items too; microwave, lights, fans, TVs, and so much more.

At home is where the EX18 will pay for itself; the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) function ensures that you don't lose power when it is needed most. No complicated wiring or steps to learn, just plug the EX18 into the wall, turn it on, and plug in your appliance. With a ≤10ms switching time, the EX18 is here to protect your investment.

Upgraded 12V DC Socket
Another cool feature that both the EX18 and the EX5 share - it may seem inconsequential to some, but those who need it will appreciate this design feature - the 12V DC Socket has been upgraded to a marine-type twist-lock design!

People off-roading, overlanding, or those who are prone to "bump-into things" will love the new twist-lock plug - it allows the 12V DC plug to remain in-place through bumpy terrain and rough handling. For those running fridges or other devices that don't steadily consume power, we have removed the timeout function on both the EX18 and EX5 models.

Run-times

Safety
As with all of our products, your safety is a priority. We have the industry standard protections in-place to protect you and your loved ones: UL Certification on the battery, Over-voltage Protection, Over-charge Protection, Short Circuit Protection, Reverse Polarity, and Overload Protection.
