If you’re anything like me, the name “CYBPULTE” might make you pause. It sounds a bit like a futuristic catapult or something.

But the CYBPULTE C601 is a surprisingly powerful portable power station, compact at just 6.8 pounds yet built to handle real-world needs.

It’s perfect for campers, road-trippers, off-grid adventurers, emergency backup, or anyone looking for reliable power without lugging a full-size generator. I got to put it to the test, and here’s what I found.

Powerful performance in a tiny package

Despite its compact size, the CYBPULTE C601 delivers 600W of continuous power with a 1,200W surge, enough to run laptops, small mini-fridges, portable projectors, LED lanterns, and other essential camping gear.

That’s double the output of many other 299Wh stations, all packed into a unit measuring just 9.4 × 6.5 × 7.1 inches.

It can easily fit in a car trunk or on a backseat without taking up too much space, leaving room for tents, coolers, and other camping gear.

The C601 has seven output ports, making it very versatile. It includes two AC outlets (pure sine wave for sensitive electronics).

Pure sine wave means the power it provides is smooth, safe, and stable, protecting laptops, cameras, or projectors from “rough” electricity.

You also get a 140W USB-C PD port, two USB-A QC3.0 ports, a 12V car port, and a DC port, allowing you to charge or power up to seven devices at the same time.

Additionally, the smart LCD display is a handy bonus, showing battery percentage, input and output power, and estimated runtime.

There’s also a built-in 2W LED light with three modes: steady, strobe, and SOS, which is useful for camping trips or emergencies.

Fast charging that stands out

One of the C601’s standout features is its 140W USB-C PD fast charging. Many power stations in this range only offer 60W USB-C, which can be painfully slow for laptops and tablets.

The C601’s 140W port charges devices more than twice as fast, and because it supports two-way USB-C charging, you can also recharge the power station itself in about two hours.

Beyond that, the C601 can be recharged in several ways: through a standard wall outlet in around six hours, via 18V solar panels with an MPPT controller (sold separately, ideal for off-grid use), or with a car charger during road trips.

Whether you’re working on the road or keeping a drone powered up at a campsite, the C601 gives you plenty of options to stay charged and ready.

Safety and reliability

Despite being lightweight and portable, safety hasn’t been overlooked.

The C601 includes overload, over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protections, keeping both the unit and your devices safe.

In practice, this means peace of mind while charging sensitive electronics or running small appliances.

Who should buy the CYBPULTE C601 portable power station

The CYBPULTE C601 is perfect for campers, tailgaters, road-trippers, and tech-savvy users who need reliable power for laptops, lights, and small appliances.

It’s also great for emergency backup during storms or power outages, providing something small and portable that can keep your essentials running.

On the flip side, if you need all-day power for heavy appliances or multi-day off-grid setups, a higher-capacity model might be a better fit.

Nothing’s perfect, and the C601 has a few limitations. While it can handle 600W devices, its 299Wh battery means heavy loads will drain it fairly quickly.

A mini-fridge or a laptop might only run for a few hours before needing a recharge.

If your plan is to stay off-grid for days at a time, powering multiple high-watt devices, a larger capacity station or LiFePO4 option might be a better choice. 

Final thoughts

The CYBPULTE C601 is a surprisingly capable little workhorse with a name that’s fun to say out loud (try it three times fast).

Compact, versatile, and packed with modern charging features, it makes a strong case for anyone looking for a portable, reliable, and affordable 600W power station.

For $299.99, it strikes a fine balance between performance, portability, and price, making it a solid choice for adventurers, weekend warriors, and emergency planners alike.

Just remember, it’s small but hits way above its weight class, a true tiny titan of portable power.
