The EcoFlow TRAIL 200 DC is an ultra-light 198 Wh LiFePO4 power station built for hikers, campers and anglers who need USB output rather than mains sockets. It weighs 1.83 kg and measures 16.7 x 11.5 x 12.6 cm, so it slips into the top of a backpack instead of a car boot. Four ports (2 x USB-C, 2 x USB-A) share a total output of 220 W, with the 140 W USB-C strong enough for a modern laptop. There is no AC inverter and no XT60 solar input; recharging goes through the same USB-C ports, which also accept a USB-C solar panel.
