On this page · Quick selector: compare the exact US models
For an AFERIY portable power station for plug-in essentials, start with P210 / Haven2400 if its fixed 2,048Wh battery and 2,400W continuous output meet your load and recharge plan. Choose P280 for expansion, P300 for higher output from the same base energy, or expandable P310 for more energy in one station. Start with the station and supplied wall-charging cable; add solar only when your daily energy budget justifies the panel kit.

Sources: official P210, P280, P300 and P310 pages. We use their product-table weights: the maker's comparison page instead rounds P280 to 22kg and lists P310 at 40kg.
Source: AFERIY product specifications linked above
Our picks: P210 for fixed essentials; P280 for an expandable order after confirming delivery; P300 for additional running watts; P310 for a larger single battery. Higher output does not give the smaller three models more base energy.
P210 / Haven2400: starting pick for fixed essentials
Choose P210 when you can recharge between uses and do not need extra batteries. Its FAQ explicitly rules out capacity expansion. The current selector distinguishes Silver and Gray app versions, so check the selected color and panel option rather than relying on the page title.
Its box includes an AC cable and MC4-to-XT90 solar lead. For wall-recharged essentials, that is the complete starting order. For solar, the maker explicitly supports a single AF-S400A1 panel. Skip P210 if your worksheet requires expansion or equipment exceeding its continuous rating.
P280 / Haven2800: expandable alternative, with delivery checks
The P280 supports up to four P280-B batteries. With one pack, its advertised total is 4,096Wh: slightly more nominal energy than a base P310, divided between a 21.6kg station and 16.4kg battery. That can be preferable when the route includes stairs.
On our November 3, 2026 source check, its page advertised a late-November pre-order and offered the P300 upgrade inside the same selector. Require a delivery commitment if this is an outage purchase. Once you choose P280, use our P280 versus Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 comparison for that rival decision.
P300 / Haven3000: more running watts, same starting storage
The P300 is worth considering when P280's output ceiling is insufficient. Its product table lists 1,800W maximum AC input, like P280. The P280 page advertises P300 as ready to ship; confirm the selected order's actual delivery date.
Do not buy it solely for assumed accessory interchangeability. The expansion documentation conflicts, as explained below. AFERIY also advertises a TT-30 outlet, but the P300 specification leaves AC outlet quantity unspecified. Confirm the final US outlet layout and the outlet's own rating for your RV. Its FAQ limits connected load to below 1,800W in UPS bypass, so the 3,000W battery-output rating does not describe every operating mode.
P310 / Haven3600: most energy in one station
Choose the expandable P310 for its larger battery and output when you can manage the lift. AFERIY describes wheels and a telescoping handle; plan separately for steps and loading it into a vehicle. The page identifies the expandable system as P310-EC, despite using P310 elsewhere.
Check the revision in writing: the same page still contains an FAQ denying expansion, contradicting its expansion bundles. Its shipping notices also conflict between December and mid-November 2026. Treat neither as a delivery promise. Home backup involving house circuits needs a licensed electrician and a permit where required; this guide selects plug-in equipment.

The P280 cable page restricts compatibility to P280/P280-B, leaving P300's complete connection unresolved. Its battery page also repeats a main-station package list: do not assume that list proves a battery connection cable is included. Ask for the actual pack's box list or add the approved cable to your order.
- Yes: P280 with P280-B and the model-specific parallel cable
- Yes: Expandable P310 with P310-B and its supplied parallel cable
- Partly: P300 expansion: reconcile the battery and cable descriptions first
- No: P210 as an expandable system
- No: A battery-only listing as a substitute for the main AC station

Match the panel to AF-S400A1 on the invoice. Its specification lists 32V open-circuit voltage, 15A operating current and 9.8kg weight. That single panel fits the published product-table input windows: P210 11.5–50V, P280/P300 11.5–55V, and P310 12–160V. P210's kit FAQ instead says 48V maximum, while the maker's comparison page gives P280 a 50V ceiling; this single-panel choice stays below all these limits. Have AFERIY confirm any larger array, including cold-weather open-circuit voltage.
A smaller 200W kit is also offered for P210, P280 and P300. Choose it only when your energy worksheet supports it. For other panels, use our portable solar-panel guide.
Size the load, delivered energy and recharge plan
Check running watts and motor startup requirements separately. AFERIY warns that motors can fail to start even below P210's running-power rating. Battery expansion adds runtime; the P280 cable documentation explicitly says it does not raise AC output.
For an assumed steady 200W AC load, P210's FAQ supplies these planning assumptions: 5% retained energy, about 90% inverter efficiency, and 20–25W station consumption. Using the higher station draw gives an estimate:
2,048Wh × (1 − 5%) × 90% ÷ (200W + 25W) ≈ eight hours.
The equivalent P310 FAQ gives the same assumptions: 3,840Wh × (1 − 5%) × 90% ÷ (200W + 25W) ≈ fifteen hours. These are estimates, not measured delivered-energy or fridge-runtime claims. Use measured daily watt-hours for cycling appliances, and leave reserve. Do not transfer these loss assumptions to P280 or P300 as established performance.
For solar planning, assume four equivalent full-output sun hours: 400W × 4h = 1,600Wh before losses, not a full refill of the 2,048Wh stations. Winter shade and weather can reduce that further; AFERIY's panel FAQ says actual output is below its rating. Include a wall-recharge fallback when solar cannot replace daily consumption.
Check power
Compare simultaneous running demand and appliance startup needs with the station rating.
Check energy
Estimate consumption between recharge opportunities, include losses, then leave reserve.
Check replenishment
Match the actual panel kit and available sunlight to daily consumption; retain a practical fallback.
Check carrying
Include the station, batteries, panels and all connection cables in the purchase decision.
Winter charging and conflicting recharge specifications
The P210 US manual says charging stops below 0°C. P300's manual states −10–40°C discharging, which does not establish a below-freezing charging allowance. Obtain charging-specific limits for your exact revision and bring the battery within its permitted range before recharging.
For P310, the current US product table specifies 1,500W AC input, while its FAQ and family comparison say 2,200W. Do not plan a refill around the faster figure without confirmation. P300's page explicitly leaves combined AC-plus-solar power unspecified: adding the two input maxima does not establish an approved combined rate.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday: compare equivalent orders
Check the live price only after matching the station model, US version, condition, seller, pack count, panel model, panel count and cables. Check the return window and delivery commitment too. A station-only order and a battery-only listing cannot replace the complete kit above.
AFERIY's warranty policy gives qualifying stations a two-year base plus five-year registered extension. Its table gives panels two years and general accessories six months, although the panel product page advertises three years. Request written terms for each component; do not apply a station's seven-year headline to the whole cart. The policy requires an authorized purchase channel and proof of purchase.
How we choose
We compare official US product tables, model manuals, accessory compatibility and kit selectors. Unresolved maker contradictions stay visible. We have not physically evaluated these stations; runtime calculations use the stated assumptions. A complete order and a workable recharge plan decide the pick.
Verdict
Buy P210 for fixed essentials that fit its output and energy budget. Move to P280 when approved expansion matters, or P300 when you need its higher running output and can resolve accessory details. Choose expandable P310 when its larger battery earns the heavier lift. Confirm the exact variant, complete connection and delivery date before comparing the final order.
Frequently asked questions
Which AFERIY portable power station should I buy?
Start with P210 if its 2,400W continuous output and fixed 2,048Wh battery cover your equipment and recharge interval. Choose P280 for documented P280-B expansion, or P300 for 3,000W output without increasing base energy. Choose expandable P310 when you need its larger 3,840Wh base battery. Check the exact kit, lifting weight and delivery commitment before ordering.
Are AFERIY P280 and P300 the same power station?
They are distinct models. AFERIY calls P300 an upgrade in the P280 selector: P300 has 3,000W output against P280's 2,800W, while both list 2,048Wh, 21.6kg and 1,200W maximum solar input. The shared listing can therefore change the model in your cart. Their expansion-battery and cable descriptions also need checking rather than assuming interchangeability.
Can AFERIY P280-B or P310-B work without a power station?
Neither is a replacement for the main AC power station. AFERIY describes P310-B as requiring P310 and labels P280-B as unsuitable for standalone use. The P280-B page's headline now names P300 compatibility, but its specification still says P280 only. Confirm the exact station, battery and connection cable together before buying an expansion order.
Does an AFERIY solar generator include panels?
Check the selected variant. The maker sells standalone stations alongside station-and-panel options, including single 400W panel bundles for these models. P300's standard box explicitly excludes panels and expansion batteries unless bundled. Match the panel quantity, model and MC4-to-XT90 charging lead to the complete order; the station's maximum solar input is not the panel power you receive.
