Three USB-C ports that work in both directions
What sets the TRAIL Plus 300 DC apart is the versatility of its ports: three 140 W USB-C ports can be used either to charge a device or to recharge the station. With its 288 Wh and an NMC-type battery, it forms a small energy hub for anyone travelling with several laptops, tablets and accessories.
Usage scenarios
A couple in a van can plug in two laptops and a phone at once. A videographer connects a camera, a monitor and a spare battery. A maintenance technician on site keeps a computer and a diagnostic tool powered. At home it is a discreet reserve for the desk during an outage, provided the devices run on USB or 12 V.
The ports at a glance
- 3 × USB-C, 140 W, input and output.
- 2 × USB-A, 12 W.
- 1 × DC output, 12 V/10 A, 120 W maximum.
Powering the station
Each of the three USB-C PD ports accepts up to 140 W as input (charger not included). The full recharge time is not specified: refer to the manufacturer’s manual. On solar, the maximum power is 110 W; check the compatibility of the panel and its connectors before connecting.
Design
The station carries a 288 Wh NMC battery. Its 20.6 × 11.5 × 12.3 cm case, longer than it is tall, fits on a vehicle shelf. It weighs 2.26 kg, a reasonable weight for a bag. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection allows remote monitoring.
Getting going
Place it on a flat, dry surface. Start with a single device to check how the ports behave, then add the others. If you pair a panel, watch its orientation throughout the day and make sure no shadow interferes with production.
