About Portable Power Stations
Battery-based portable power stations for home backup, camping and off-grid power. Browse by battery capacity to find the right size.
A power station stores energy in a rechargeable battery, so there is no fuel, no exhaust and no engine noise. You recharge it from a wall outlet, a car or a solar panel, and it can be used indoors as long as it is kept dry and ventilated. Our range runs from compact units of roughly 150Wh, enough to keep phones, lights and a router going through a night, up to about 1,200Wh for running small appliances through an extended outage.
How to choose
- Capacity (Wh) is how long it can run. Divide the watt-hours by the watts of what you are powering, then allow about 15% for conversion losses.
- Output (W) is how much it can run at once. Add up everything you plan to use together and keep it below the rating.
- Battery type: some models use LiFePO4 batteries, which generally last through more charge cycles.
Power stations are not designed to run a whole house, central air conditioning or other heavy-duty appliances. For those loads, look at our gas generators.
How to choose a portable power station
1. Match capacity (Wh) to runtime
Capacity in watt-hours is the size of the “fuel tank”. As a rule of thumb, divide the capacity by your device’s wattage, then allow roughly 15% for inverter losses. A 1,000 Wh unit running a 100 W load lasts around 8 hours.
2. Check output watts and surge
Add up the running watts of everything you plan to power at once. The unit’s continuous output must exceed that total, and its surge rating should cover motor start-up for items like fridges and pumps.
3. Look at battery chemistry
LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries generally offer more charge cycles than standard lithium-ion, which matters if you plan daily or frequent use.
4. Plan how you will recharge
Compare wall, car and solar input. Check the maximum solar input (volts and watts) so the panels you choose are compatible and charge at a useful speed.
