itel Energy’s new PowerTank 1000 combines 2kWh of battery storage with 1,000W output, giving Nigerian households another option for keeping essential electronics running during outages. Launched alongside an 11kW hybrid inverter, it addresses two different power needs. Ogabassey availability and a verified local price remain unconfirmed as of November 11, 2026.
What changed: two products for different power needs
The Nigerian launch took place on October 8, according to local reporting and subsequent technical coverage. itel Energy’s manufacturer announcement appeared on October 26. Those are separate event and publication dates; the later announcement does not establish a second launch.
The manufacturer describes PowerTank 1000 as an integrated battery, inverter and charging system. Its published specifications include a lithium iron phosphate battery and solar input of up to 1,200W. The accompanying IPV-11K48T is an 11kW hybrid inverter intended for larger installations.
Chongdiantou’s November 8 technical report separately examines the PowerTank’s integrated design and compares it with the preceding model. That report provides additional product coverage, although it does not establish independent runtime testing. This article likewise draws on published sources rather than hands-on measurements.
For Nigerian buyers, the useful distinction is the job each product would perform. Someone protecting a few essential electronics should begin with those devices’ requirements. A household planning broader backup needs an installation assessment, including its battery, solar and electrical requirements.

Why 1,000W output and 2kWh storage mean different things
Power output describes how much connected equipment a system can support at a particular moment. Stored energy determines how long it can supply a given load. A larger battery does not automatically allow more powerful appliances, and a larger inverter does not automatically provide longer backup.
As an illustrative calculation, 2,000Wh divided by a constant 200W load equals ten hours before conversion losses, reserve limits and other operating factors. At 500W, the same calculation gives four hours. These are arithmetic examples, not measured PowerTank runtime predictions.
This distinction matters when a seller quotes a single number of backup hours. Ask which appliances were connected, their combined consumption and the conditions used. A runtime claim without a defined load is difficult to compare with another system.
Make a list of what must remain powered during an outage, then separate essential devices from optional ones. Keeping communications and one work device available can be a different purchasing problem from running the whole sitting room. That list should guide the quote before the product name does.
Platform and compatibility context: check every connection
The PowerTank and the 11kW inverter are energy products. Their announcement does not establish changes to itel OS, smartphone software support, mobile-network compatibility or the specifications of the Itel A, S or P phone families.
For charging a phone, confirm the supplied outputs, supported charging protocols and cable requirements against the actual handset. A system’s total power rating does not tell you how quickly an individual USB connection will charge your device. Ask for the port specification rather than assuming that every connector supports the same speed.
Router backup needs similar attention. Check the router’s input voltage, connector and power adapter. Keeping a router powered also cannot guarantee that its upstream network remains available throughout an outage. Buyers working remotely should distinguish electricity continuity from internet continuity.
For appliances with motors or compressors, request written confirmation of startup compatibility. Their brief starting demand can differ from normal running consumption. A demonstration involving one appliance also should not be treated as permission to connect every superficially similar model.
Nigeria availability, warranty and price context
The launch is specifically Nigerian, making the local decision concrete: compare a compact essential-device backup system with a larger installation before committing money. However, neither product appears in the supplied Ogabassey catalog. No Ogabassey price, stock position, delivery date or product page is confirmed for either model.
itel Energy’s announcement states a three-year warranty for the 11kW inverter and promotes a 48-hour after-sales resolution commitment. These are manufacturer statements. Buyers should obtain the applicable written terms, exclusions and service arrangements for their location; this article does not verify delivery against that service commitment.
Request an itemised Naira quote covering the unit, any required battery, solar panels, protection equipment, cables, delivery and installation. Compare complete packages. A standalone inverter price and an integrated backup-unit price can describe substantially different purchases.
Ask who receives a faulty unit, who pays transport costs and whether the invoice identifies the exact model and serial number. Confirm PowerTank warranty terms separately rather than transferring the inverter’s stated cover to another product. Used or open-box equipment also needs explicit condition and battery-history disclosure.

What to verify before buying
Decision
Evidence to request
Why it matters
Essential-device backup
Your equipment list and combined consumption
Defines the actual load instead of relying on a general household claim.
Longer runtime
Usable battery energy and a load-specific estimate
Separates storage capacity from output power.
Solar charging
Approved panel arrangement and electrical limits
Panel wattage alone does not establish compatibility.
Larger installation
Battery, protection and installation specification
An inverter rating alone does not describe the complete system.
Ownership cost
Itemised quote and written warranty
Makes included equipment and after-sales responsibilities visible.
Our editorial advice is to choose the smallest complete system that reliably meets your defined needs, while allowing sensible headroom. Spending more on capacity you rarely use can leave less money for necessary installation work or service support. Equally, buying below your required load can defeat the purpose of backup.
If the seller cannot explain the proposed solar configuration or identify the warranty route, pause the purchase until those details are documented. The practical purchase is a working system with accountable support, rather than a headline wattage.
Related Ogabassey products: keep the phone budget separate
If you are budgeting for both a handset and backup electricity, price them separately. The supplied November 11 catalog context lists the Itel A100C at ₦103,070 and the Itel A200+ at ₦129,302. These are dated phone-price snapshots, not PowerTank prices; check the linked live product cards for current offers and availability.
The catalog records use unmanaged stock, so their zero quantities do not establish that either phone is unavailable. Confirm the exact variant and fulfilment terms before paying. The supplied evidence also contains no verified Itel A100 price, so the A100C figure must not be presented as an A100 quote.
Browse Ogabassey’s Itel phone range if your immediate need is a handset. A phone upgrade and a backup-power purchase solve different problems; decide which interruption is actually preventing you from working or communicating before dividing the budget.
FAQ
Is PowerTank 1000 available from Ogabassey?
Ogabassey availability is not confirmed in the supplied catalog as of November 11, 2026. The Nigerian launch does not establish an Ogabassey listing, price or delivery date.
Will PowerTank 1000 run my appliances all night?
That depends on their combined consumption, startup requirements and operating conditions. Request an estimate for your actual equipment list. Battery capacity alone cannot guarantee an overnight runtime.
How much is the Itel A100C in Nigeria?
The supplied Ogabassey catalog context lists ₦103,070 as of November 11, 2026. Check the linked A100C product card for the current offer, exact variant and availability. This is a handset price, not an energy-product price.
Catalog-linked prices update automatically. Historical and other quoted prices remain as written. Open the product page to confirm the current price, selected variant and availability before buying.
