BioLite BaseCharge+ Power Stations Get an Upgrade in Speed and Price

July 24, 2024

The updated portable power station lineup now features 4x faster recharging and a wallet-friendly lower price

Brooklyn, NY (July 24, 2024)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – BioLite, an innovator in off-grid renewable energy solutions, released updates to its popular mobile power station lineup, the BaseCharge 600+ and 1500+. The new models keep the compact footprint, port facings, and wireless charging from previous designs but now recharge up to 4x faster and are available at an even more competitive price point.

Originally optimized for rapid recharging from solar, the new BaseCharge+ models now enable customers to recharge quickly from either solar or wall-charging, refilling in under 3 hours thanks to a new high-capacity wall-charging cord included with each unit. Additionally, the smaller BaseCharge 600+ now features a higher capacity solar input, allowing customers to add a second 100W panel to their solar generator system.

In addition to competitive recharge times and reduced pricing, BaseCharge+ continues to maximize the promise of portability and versatility by combining user-friendly design with lighter weight battery chemistry, offering a power station that is up to 19 pounds lighter than comparable models. The rated cycle life means the units can be fully charged and discharged twice weekly every week for over ten years without losses in efficiency. The AC/DC charging options can power larger appliances like electric coolers, CPAP machines, or TVs, in addition to personal devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Lastly, BaseCharge features a convenient wireless charging deck that makes charging high-use phones quick and easy by skipping the cords.

Built to last, BioLite’s BaseCharge+ models have undergone the same rigorous safety testing applied to the original BaseCharge models, including battery cell selection, extreme temperature testing, vibration testing, drop testing, and more, to guarantee that they are safe to use around the house and endure life’s toughest adventures.

“We listened to customer feedback and designed an affordable and faster solution without sacrificing quality,” said Erica Rosen, Global VP of Marketing at BioLite. “Portable design, multiple charging ports, easy-to-use, it’s all there – but now it can keep up even faster with the quick pace of modern life and the essential devices needed to stay powered at all times.”

Just in time to prepare for group camping adventures or potential grid outages this fall, the BaseCharge+ models offer reliable, easy-to-use energy to power your adventures. With improved features and a lower price than previous models, BaseCharge 600+ is offered at $599 and BaseCharge 1500+ at $1299.
