What is a portable power station?
Also known as a battery-powered generator, a portable power station is a rechargeable battery-driven source of power that is powerful enough to power a campsite or an entire house. It is also compact and portable meaning you can carry it with you wherever you go, including camping trips, construction projects, road trips among many other places where electricity is needed. Portable power stations are available in different power outputs, ranging from 1000W to 20,000W. Generally, the more power output, the bigger the portable power station and vice versa.
Benefits of portable power stations
- High power output
One of the main reasons why many people are switching from gas generators to portable power stations is because they provide high power output. They are capable of providing sufficient power to light your RV, campsite, home, and power appliances such as mini cooler, mini-fridge, TV, and much more. So, if you are the type of person who travels a lot and you are looking for a reliable and efficient source of power, then a portable power station is a great option for you.
- They are environmentally friendly
Another benefit of a portable power station is that they are friendly to the environment. Portable power stations are powered by a lithium-ion battery and are thus rechargeable. In fact, a majority of them come with solar panels that allow users to charge them even when they are off the grid. Portable power stations are thus a green source of power and better compared to gas generators which rely on gas that harms the environment. They also operate quietly and thus don’t cause noise pollution as is the case with gas generators.
- They can be used both indoors and outdoors
Unlike gas generators that can only be stored outdoors because they are noisy and emit toxic fumes that can harm your health, portable power stations can be used both indoors and outdoors. This is because they are powered by a lithium-ion battery which is a clean source of energy. They are also not noisy.
