A young Nigerian man has taken to social media to share his honest review of the Itel Power Tank, detailing how long it lasts and the exact price he paid for it.

Itel Power Tank User Shares Experience
The user, @orukusuku, explained that his Itel Power Tank lasts for two days. He stated, "Mine lasts 2 days (comes on by 10am and goes off by 6am the next day). I currently charge using DC and would install the solar panel (440w) soon." He also listed the devices he charges with the power tank, including his laptop, phone, 27,000mAh power bank, and rechargeable lamp. Additionally, he uses it for a Lontor rechargeable fan that works all night. He described the invention as very helpful.
Price Breakdown
He further revealed the exact amount he paid for the 1KWh Itel Power Tank, noting that prices may vary across stores. He bought it from Itel at the official rate in Computer Village for N315,000, while some vendors now sell it for N350,000. For the solar panel, he paid N110,000 for a 440W panel plus N20,000 delivery fee, though Itel sells a 410W panel for N104,000. Additional components such as wires, breakers (AC and DC), a DC regulator, knife switch, and box cost N220,000, with delivery included as he bought them from the same vendor in Alaba International Market. Installation costs ranged from N40,000 to N70,000, depending on location.
Reactions from Social Media Users
Many people reacted to the review in the comment section. @ValentineP30161 wrote, "Well our 3.5kv solar is serving us despite it carrying a lot of load, but it's not like before my oga bought it." @CollinsofLFC stressed, "First meaningful user experience I’ve heard since the noise started on Twitter. Thanks Ebun." @Keleicg shared, "If the power situation doesn't improve (it won't), very soon we all will be carrying along a power tank to charge at work." @XiiithJeph added, "Change your ox fan to your DC fan of about 20-25 watts and watch the PowerTank blossom." @HerbertJane06 asked, "Thanks for the review. I wonder if this is the same as the normal solar."
