When LED lights are turned on, generally, they don't require any "extra" power to get going. That means, if you wanted to connect several LED lights that were each rated at 200W power output, you could expect to be able to run ten of those simultaneously. For example, this unit not only boasts a 2,000Wh capacity rating, but also a 2,000W output power rating. This is different from the continuous power rating (in watts) for each unit. Though it's currently on sale for $300 off, making it a little more competitive.Īnother often overlooked aspect of portable power stations is the surge wattage and power rating. Normally that might qualify this unit for the "best value" category as well, but that is a tougher call to make when it is also the most expensive unit on our list with a list price of $1,699.
It will charge completely in a little over three hours, and all this for the lowest "cost per watt-hour" of any unit we tested. It sports a LiFePO4 battery for over 3,500 charge cycles. It offers an app for basic monitoring and configuration. If you can manage to get this machine where you want it, it will keep you going for ages with a massive capacity of 2,000 watt-hours. But there are enough bells and whistles these days to consider adding one of these to your normally powered life as well.Īt just over 60 pounds, this machine is not for the faint of heart or weak of arm. Portable power stations are the perfect solution to keep us, well, portably powered. This can be tough when you don't have access to grid power. As our daily lives are more populated with electronic devices, the need to keep those devices powered and online increases. Traditionally, gas-powered generators were your main option for "off-grid" power where electricity is needed, especially in more temporary situations like camping if you didn't have an RV or another power supply for your campsite. There are even some stations that can be linked to other units for even more power, and can be hooked up to your home's system so you've got backup power in case of emergencies. But these days, there are tons of portable power station options with advanced features like USB ports, solar panel inputs, wireless charging and much more. They used to be limited to bulky, simple power banks with basic outlets so you could juice up your devices. There have been some major improvements to portable power stations since we first started reviewing them here at CNET.
