FAQ:
- How to choose a suitable portable power station?
Thinking of getting a portable power station? The first thing you need to remember is not all power stations are made equal. So, to pick the right portable power station, check out our essential guide below:
i) Know the Power Output
The power output found in a portable power station is measured in watts. For example, a few hundred watts would be sufficient to power your smartphone or LED light. But thousands of watts of power is useful for powering electrical appliances such as TV and refrigerator.
ii) Number of Outlets & Ports Matters
Ask yourself this question: How many and what types of devices and/or appliances do you want to power on? Your best bet is to look for a portable power station that offers various outlets and ports including USB-A & USB-C as well as AC & DC.
iii) Battery Type
While most portable power stations use the standard lithium-ion battery, you might want to consider the one with a LiFePO4 or lithium iron phosphate variety. The latter lasts longer with zero maintenance while improving battery efficiency and discharge.
iv) Consider the Size
Some portable power stations can be heavy beyond 10 kg such as the EcoFlow Delta but you will get the benefit of powering even large appliances. However, if portability is your ultimate priority, consider investing in a smaller or compact version that can be easily carried around.
