AFERIY Nomad1800 P180 portable power station – 1800W, 1024Wh
The Nomad1800 P180 is built for buyers who need to run more than phones and laptops but do not want to carry a 20kg battery. Its 1024Wh pack and 1800W inverter cover a useful range of household and travel equipment.
✓Runs meaningful appliances
Suitable for fridges, compatible coffee machines, TVs, laptops, routers and many tools within the output limits.
✓Less downtime
A mains recharge reaches roughly 90% in an hour, with up to 1500W combined AC and solar input.
✓Cleaner power for electronics
Pure sine wave output and sub-10ms UPS switching suit many computers and networking devices.
✓Made for frequent use
LiFePO4 cells are rated for more than 4000 cycles to 80% capacity.
Make an informed choice
Why choose this model – and what are the compromises?
The strongest reasons to buy
- A 1800W pure sine inverter goes far beyond basic USB charging.
- At 11.64kg, it remains manageable for a 1kWh-class battery.
- Fast charging, 500W solar input, 140W USB-C and UPS support cover a wide range of uses.
What to know before you decide
- It cannot use P180-B expansion batteries; that feature is reserved for the P180 Pro.
- The app is functional, although available reviews suggest the software is less polished than the hardware.
What can it realistically power?
Watts determine whether an appliance can start. Watt-hours determine how long it can run. Motors, pumps and compressors may draw far more power at startup than during normal operation.
| Device / use | Suitability | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Router, lights, phones and laptop | Suitable | Low loads make efficient use of 1024Wh, while USB-C may remove the need for an AC charger. |
| Fridge or compressor cooler | Check first | Check compressor startup surge and duty cycle before estimating runtime. |
| Coffee machine up to 1800W | Check first | Read the rating plate and avoid other high loads at the same time. |
| Power tools | Check first | Suitable when both running power and startup current stay within the limits. |
| Heater or hob above 1800W | Not suitable | It exceeds the inverter limit or drains a 1kWh battery very quickly. |
Real-world runtime examples
Approximate figures based on around 85% usable energy. Actual runtime depends on the appliance, efficiency and duty cycle.
Where this model fits in the AFERIY range
| Model | Best suited to | Key difference |
|---|---|---|
| P040 | Light day trips and devices below 400W | Far lighter, but not designed for demanding appliances. |
| P180 | Camping, mobile work and short outages | The balanced choice for 1800W, 1kWh and portability. |
| P180 Pro | A backup system that can grow later | Similar base performance with support for four expansion batteries. |
Size your battery properly before buying
1. List your devices
Add up their wattage and estimate how many hours each one will run per day.
2. Calculate watt-hours
Watts x hours gives the energy required. Allow roughly 15% conversion loss for AC appliances.
3. Keep a safety margin
An extra 20 to 30% covers startup surges, cold weather and weaker-than-expected solar generation.
Our honest assessment
How to protect the battery over time
Use it in a dry, well-ventilated area and keep all vents clear. For longer storage, leave it at a mid-level charge, check it periodically and follow the manufacturer’s temperature guidance.
What that means in everyday use
Home power cut
Keep broadband, lighting, communications and selected cold storage running.
Camping and van use
Charge a cool box, laptop, cameras, drone batteries and smaller appliances from one hub.
Remote work
The 140W USB-C port can power demanding laptops without their mains charger.
A strong choice if…
you want around 1kWh of usable reserve, up to 1800W output and a unit that one person can still carry.
Consider another model if…
you need sustained electric heating, several days off-grid or the option to add expansion batteries later.
What to check before you buy
Check compressor and motor start-up surges, not just the rated watts. The standard P180 does not accept P180-B expansion batteries; that feature belongs to the Pro version.

Questions buyers often ask
Will it run a fridge?
Yes, provided both running and start-up power stay within limits. Runtime varies with the compressor cycle.
Can it power a kettle?
Only kettles rated at 1800W or less. Many UK kettles draw 2000-3000W and are unsuitable.
Can I expand the battery?
No. Choose the P180 Pro for P180-B compatibility.
Can it run while charging?
Yes, pass-through operation is supported.
What solar panel can I use?
A compatible XT60 panel within the 11.5-55V range and 500W input limit.
