Segway Cube 1000 Handles Everything From Weekend Camping Trips to Keeping Essential Home Circuits Running During an Outage
Segway designed the Cube 1000 power station, priced at $330 (was $500), around a 1024Wh LiFePO4 battery, which can last for over 4,000 charge cycles without significantly losing capacity, equating to around a decade of regular operation. The starting capacity is 1 kWh, but customers can connect up to four additional 1 kWh expansion packs wirelessly, with no wires required, for a total of 5 kWh as needed.
The power station can deliver 2200 watts consistently from the AC side, with a unique R-Drive mode capable of handling brief 4400 watt power surges. That is more than enough to cover most common household appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, power tools, and even medical equipment such as CPAP machines. There are three AC outlets to go with a decent array of DC options: plenty of USB-A and USB-C ports (one of which is a 100 W fast charge connector for laptops), a 12v car-style plug, and some other DC outputs for flexibility.

Filling it up is also simple, as it can be fully charged in around an hour and a half to two hours using a 1250w AC input, or you can just connect it to some solar panels to get up to 800w at 97% efficiency. Car charging is also accessible, albeit at a slower rate. One useful feature is that the unit can accept both AC and solar input in many circumstances, allowing you to charge more quickly during the day.
It’s also a nice-looking product, with an IP56 rating on the battery pack (the entire unit is IPX3), which means it can survive dust and strong water jets, making it ideal for use outside or in the garage. Durable construction combines with a simple, cube design that keeps everything stable even when piled together.
The Segway-Ninebot app allows you to check battery levels, alter settings, and manage power flow remotely. The item has a clear display that allows you to see the important information at a glance. Standard safety features include overload, short circuit, and temperature extremes protection; it can even withstand temperatures of up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
You get a total of 12 outputs to power all of your devices, from phones to laptops to lights to tiny fridges, without having to continually juggle cords. In practical terms, that 1024Wh base can recharge your phone about 80 to 90 times, power a small fridge for many hours, or power a laptop and some lights for the evening.
