What is a portable power station?
Six things to check before you buy
Capacity (Wh)
How much energy it stores. Higher capacity means longer runtime. Multiply each device's watts by hours of use to find your daily need.
Output (W)
How much power it can deliver at once. Add up the watts of everything you'll run together, and choose a higher output with some headroom.
Solar input
How fast it can charge from panels. A higher solar input lets you use bigger panels and recharge faster.
Ports
Look for the AC sockets, USB-C, USB-A and DC ports your devices need, so you don't need extra adapters.
Weight and size
Check that it suits where you'll use it, whether that's a campsite, a van or a cupboard at home.
Warranty and support
Know how long you're covered and where to get help. It matters most for a product you'll rely on.
Example: a 1,000 Wh battery powering a 50 W load runs for roughly 1,000 × 0.85 ÷ 50 = 17 hours. The 0.85 allows for energy lost when converting battery power to AC or USB output.

Why many people choose a power station
| Portable power station | Fuel generator | |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel | None. Recharge from the wall or the sun. | Petrol, propane or diesel. |
| Exhaust | None. | Produces exhaust fumes and must be used outdoors. |
| Noise | Quiet. | Typically loud. |
| Runtime | Limited by battery capacity, extended with solar. | As long as there's fuel. |
| Maintenance | Very little. | Fuel, oil and servicing. |
| Best for | Devices, lights, laptops, fridges, quiet places. | Heavy loads and long runs. |
Questions about power stations
Add up the watts of everything you’ll run at the same time, and choose a power station with a higher output rating. Then multiply each device’s watts by the hours you’ll use it per day, add them up, and add a 20–30% margin to find the capacity (Wh) you need. Each solution page has a sizing table with examples.
A solar generator is usually a power station paired with solar panels. The power station stores and delivers the energy, and the panels recharge it from the sun. Browse matched options in Solar Generators & Kits.
No. A power station works from a wall socket on its own. Solar panels let you recharge away from mains power, such as when camping, travelling or during a long outage.
Many can. Compare the fridge’s running watts, and its start-up surge if listed, with the power station’s output rating, then check that the battery capacity covers the hours you need.
It depends on the model and how you charge it. A wall outlet is usually faster than solar. Solar charging depends on panel wattage, sunlight and the battery size, so check the product page for charging details.
A battery power station has no exhaust fumes, unlike a fuel generator. Even so, keep it dry, ventilated and away from heat and flames, don’t cover it while it’s in use, and follow the manufacturer’s manual.
Usually not. Most airlines limit lithium batteries to a much smaller size than a power station, so check your airline’s rules before you travel.
