OUPES Exodus 1200 Review
992Wh of storage, 1,200W continuous output, LiFePO4 cells. Listed at $549 at OUPES.
The OUPES Exodus 1200 is a portable 600 1,200wh unit holding 992Wh. At $0.55 per watt-hour it is priced about where the rest of the band sits. It uses LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,500 cycles, so it is built to be kept rather than replaced. This model is discontinued, so stock is whatever is left in the channel. It lists at $549 against an $799 MSRP.

What the OUPES Exodus 1200 will run, and for how long
Runtimes below are calculated from the 992Wh rated capacity, derated to 85% for AC loads and 92% for USB and 12V loads to cover inverter and conversion losses. They are arithmetic, not lab measurements, but they are the same arithmetic applied to every unit we track, so the comparison holds. Anything drawing more than the 1,200W continuous rating is left off the list because this unit cannot carry it.
| Load | Estimated runtime |
|---|---|
| Phone charge (12Wh) | 76 charges |
| Wi-Fi router (10W) | 84 hr |
| LED work light (10W) | 91 hr |
| CPAP, humidifier off (40W) | 21 hr 5 min |
| Laptop (60W) | 14 hr 3 min |
| 12V portable fridge (45W avg) | 18 hr 44 min |
| 55-inch TV (90W) | 9 hr 22 min |
Real figures land below these. A fridge cycles rather than drawing continuously, and cold weather costs a lithium pack usable capacity, so treat the table as the ceiling rather than the expectation.
Charging and power delivery
Switchover to battery is rated at 20ms, fast enough to keep a desktop or a router from dropping.
OUPES does not publish a maximum solar input for this model, so we do not state one.

Where the OUPES Exodus 1200 sits in its band
We track 57 units in the portable 600 1,200wh band with both a price and a published capacity. They run from $179 to $3,449, and from 99Wh to 5,040Wh. On cost per watt-hour the OUPES Exodus 1200 ranks 21 of 57, where 1 is the cheapest capacity in the band. That is mid-table: neither the bargain of the band nor the unit you would call overpriced. Ranking on cost per watt-hour deliberately ignores build quality, port selection and warranty, so read it as one input rather than as the answer.

Who the OUPES Exodus 1200 suits
It is a sensible buy for van and car camping, a long weekend off-grid, and covering a fridge plus lighting and devices through a day-long outage. It is the wrong tool for whole-home backup, and sustained use of a microwave or a kettle.
OUPES Exodus 1200 questions
How long will the OUPES Exodus 1200 run a fridge?
A full-size fridge averages about 50W once you account for the compressor cycling on and off. From 992Wh, derated to 85% for inverter losses, that is roughly 16 hr 52 min on a full charge. A 12V portable fridge draws less and will run considerably longer.
Can the OUPES Exodus 1200 be charged by solar?
OUPES does not publish a maximum solar input for this model. Rather than estimate one, we leave it out. Check the manual that ships with the unit before buying panels for it.
Does the OUPES Exodus 1200 work as a UPS?
It switches to battery in about 20ms. That is quick enough for a desktop computer, a router or a modem, all of which tolerate a gap in that range without rebooting.
What warranty does the OUPES Exodus 1200 carry?
OUPES covers it for 1 years, and rates the cells for 3,500 charge cycles. Cycle life and warranty are different promises, and the cycle figure is the one that tells you how long the pack stays useful.
Is the OUPES Exodus 1200 worth it?
At $549 it works out at $0.55 per watt-hour. It costs less per watt-hour than the median unit in its band, which is the strongest argument in its favour. Read the comparison table above against the two closest rivals before deciding.
What is not published
OUPES does not state the maximum solar input for this model. We list figures rather than estimate them, so those rows stay empty until the manufacturer publishes them. If you need one of them to make the decision, ask OUPES directly and hold them to the answer.
How we assess these
Every figure on this page comes from the manufacturer, and every derived number, cost per watt-hour and estimated runtime, is calculated the same way for all 437 products we track. That is what makes the comparison meaningful: we are not scoring units against a private impression of them, we are putting published figures side by side and doing the arithmetic in public. Where a manufacturer stays quiet, we say so rather than filling the gap.
