The Rallye 600 power bank has hot-swappable battery packs. It's a neat trick, but do you need it?
Runhood Rallye 600 Pro MSRP $1,659.00 Score Details “A fun concept with some specific use cases, but still needing refinement in both performance and design.” Pros Cons It can be really hard to find a power station that’s interesting. When shopping around, it’s often as simple as answering “Does it charge my stuff?” That’s why the Runhood Rallye 600 caught my eye when it came out late last year.
Third, the battery packs fit very snugly in the charging bays, but they don’t go in on guide rails or anything. It’s just plastic on plastic. It didn’t take long for the packs to start scuffing along their corners, and I’m concerned about longer-term wear. Still, the locking mechanism in the back ensures confidence that the battery pack is in place.
Rounding out the hardware is a clear LCD screen that provides all of the relevant alerts, and an LED flashlight, which is a handy mainstay for most power stations. The Rallye 600’s audio alerts are crisp and useful for knowing when your batteries are running low. There’s no wireless charging or mobile app here, which are nice extras some competitors offer.
The product page boasts “swapping batteries on the go” and “batteries that can be switched even when running”, but the instruction manual is loaded with warnings like “when charging, DO NOT remove battery from the housing”, and “we highly recommend you charge the batteries in pairs.” Those are hard qualifiers to keep in mind if you’re in a fast-paced quick-swapping environment, especially if the stakes are a dead battery.
Solar-ready The solar panel that comes along with this kit is pretty great. It has a pouch big enough to stash almost all of the adapters you need. For the ones that don’t fit, they toss in an extra external pouch, complete with a flap for all of the manuals. This secondary pouch I use for the adapter which can charge the removable power packs directly. It’s nice to have the option to skip the power station and charge the batteries directly if needed.
