Portable Power Station Buying Guide

Don't get overwhelmed by the specs. Here is exactly what you need to look for before you buy.

1. Capacity (Watt-Hours)

Think of Watt-hours (Wh) as the size of your "fuel tank." If you want to run a 60W laptop for 10 hours, you need at least a 600Wh station.

2. Output (Watts)

This is the "speed" of the power. If your coffee maker needs 1500W to start, a 1000W power station won't be able to run it, regardless of how many Watt-hours it has.

3. Battery Chemistry (LFP vs NMC)

LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries are heavier but last for 10+ years. NMC batteries are lighter and more portable but have a shorter overall lifespan.
