Detailed overview: Zendure Ace 1500 portable power hub, no battery
The Zendure Ace 1500 holds a distinct place in the brand's solar catalogue: it is not a conventional power station with a built-in battery, but an energy conversion and distribution hub, meant to be paired with additional AB1000 (960 Wh) or AB2000 (1920 Wh) batteries to reach real storage capacity, up to 4 units and 7680 Wh total.
Once paired with its batteries, it delivers up to 1500 W continuous (3000 W peak) through its AC, USB-C (65 W max) and USB-A (12 W max) outputs, with 1707 W of total output power. On the charging side, it accepts up to 900 W from the mains (0 to 100% in 1.6 hours according to Zendure) and up to 400 W of direct solar input (16 to 60V), letting it work both plugged into the home grid (on-grid mode) and fully off the grid, away from any outlet.
Compact and light for its category (4 kg, 326 x 200 x 108 mm), it is controlled over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth via the Zendure app. Its waterproofing is limited to IP31, well below the usual IP65 in this sector, which reserves it for sheltered use rather than prolonged outdoor exposure; the paired AB1000/AB2000 batteries, meanwhile, are IP65 rated.
The Ace 1500 suits anyone who would rather build their own storage capacity than buy a fixed bundle: start with the hub and a single battery, then add modules as needs and budget allow, without ever buying the conversion electronics again.

Comparison
How does the Zendure Ace 1500 compare with other modular power hubs, for searches like "expandable power station without battery"? Here is how it stacks up against two references already in the catalogue: the Zendure Hub 2000 and the EcoFlow Delta Pro.
| Criterion | Ace 1500 | Zendure Hub 2000 | EcoFlow Delta Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery included | No, add AB1000/AB2000 | No, add separately | Yes, 3600 Wh |
| Output | 1500 W (3000 W peak) | 2000 W | 3600 W (4500 W X-Boost) |
| Use case | On-grid and off-grid | Balcony, on-grid | Nomadic and home backup |
| Maximum capacity | 7680 Wh | Depends on batteries | 25000 Wh |
| Observed price | ≈ $554.65 | ≈ $461.71 | ≈ $3383.65 |
In short, the Ace 1500 stands out for its on-grid and off-grid versatility, broader than the Hub 2000 which is built primarily for balcony solar. The Delta Pro, conversely, ships with its battery built in and targets nomadic use or full home backup, with no modular assembly required. For anyone who wants to build their own storage capacity at their own pace, without paying for a fixed battery upfront, the Ace 1500 remains the most flexible option.

Our tester's review: Christophe Delpuech
The Ace 1500 is a product apart: it is not a conventional power station, but a hub that only makes real sense once paired with one or more AB1000 or AB2000 batteries. Once the combination is chosen, it delivers as promised: 1500 W continuous (3000 W peak) is enough for most everyday appliances, and 900 W mains charging stays fast for nomadic use. The real strength is modularity: you can start small with a single AB1000 and grow over time, without buying the whole system again. The case's IP31 rating remains modest compared with the usual IP65 in this sector, which confines it to sheltered use rather than exposed outdoor settings. Our main reservation: the listed price ($554.65) covers only the hub itself, with zero runtime, you need to budget for at least one AB1000 or AB2000 on top for a genuinely usable system. For anyone who wants to build their own storage capacity at their own pace, the Ace 1500's modular logic is genuinely well thought out.

No. The hub alone contains no battery: you need to pair it with at least one AB1000 (960 Wh) or AB2000 (1920 Wh) pack, sold separately, to get real runtime.
Up to 4 AB1000 or AB2000 batteries, for a maximum total capacity of 7680 Wh by combining 4 AB2000 units.
Yes, it offers an off-grid mode for fully autonomous use, alongside its on-grid mode connected to the home network.
Yes, it accepts up to 400 W of direct solar input (16 to 60V voltage), on top of the 900 W max mains charging.
Not recommended for the hub itself, rated only IP31, a limited level of protection against the elements. The paired AB1000/AB2000 batteries, however, are IP65 rated.
