Cuktech Power Storage 600: a sub-$200 LiFePO4 power station from Xiaomi's orbit

Cuktech, a brand closely tied to Xiaomi's ecosystem, has launched the Power Storage 600 — a 512Wh portable power station priced at roughly $190 during its pre-order window in China. That undercuts the Anker SOLIX C300X ($249) and the EcoFlow River 3 ($349) by a meaningful margin, assuming it ever reaches the US or UK, which has not been confirmed.

The specs

The Power Storage 600 uses a LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery, the same chemistry used in most mid-range and premium power stations today. Cuktech claims 4,000+ charge cycles before capacity drops to 80% — equivalent to about 11 years of daily use. That figure is in line with industry norms for the chemistry, per EnergyLast's LiFePO4 market comparison, though it remains a manufacturer claim without independent verification.

Continuous output is 600W, with peaks up to 1,000W — enough to run a kettle, power tools, or a small refrigerator for several hours. Seven output ports cover most use cases: two AC outlets, two USB-C ports (140W and 100W), two USB-A ports, and a car charging port. The AC outputs use a pure sine wave inverter, which matters for sensitive electronics like laptops and medical devices.

Recharge speed is one of the stronger selling points. A standard wall socket brings it from empty to full in 1.5 hours — no overnight wait. It also accepts solar panels up to 200W, car cigarette lighter input, and USB-C charging. The housing is described as fire-resistant and reinforced against impacts. Xiaomi Home app integration is built in, which adds convenience for households already using Mi-connected devices.

China first, everywhere else later (maybe)

per Gizmochina, sales opened in China on JD.com on July 7, 2026 at 1,399 yuan (around $205), with a launch discount bringing it to 1,299 yuan (~$190). No US or UK release date has been announced. Cuktech does list Amazon US and Amazon UK as distribution channels for other products — its 30 Ultra desktop charger is already available in those markets — but the Power Storage 600 has no confirmed Western launch.

At $190, the pricing is aggressive for 512Wh of LiFePO4 capacity. If it arrives outside China with a competitive price tag and proper certification, it will be worth a second look against Anker's well-reviewed alternatives. Until then, it's a product to watch, not buy.
