The Right Ways to Purchase Portable Power Stations

Since camping and road trips become very popular, portable power stations are getting known by more people As a professional portable power station manufacturer, let Huaming introduce you that how to choose the right products.

1. Points for Purchasing Portable Power Stations

There are two main points to purchase portable power stations. The first point you need to be sure is that how big power supply (watts) is suitable for you. The power supply determines the length of available electricity. The power of the power supply determines the types of electrical appliances that can be used.

A portable power station with a rated power of 1500W can drive electrical appliances below 1500W. At the same time, you can use this formula (watt-hour ÷ power = available time of the appliance) to calculate the available time of the appliance under the power supply of different capacities.

For example: One power station's capacity is 1350Wh, and the appliance needs 1000W power to drive. Let us use the formula: 1350Wh÷1000W = 1.35 hours, then we could know that it can supply power for the appliance 1.35 hours long.

2. Usage Scenarios of Portable Power Stations

The scenarios of using Portable Power Stations can generally be divided into two types: Outdoor usage and indoor usage. For example:

Outdoor Usage - Camping:

If you are a camping player planned to camping for 1-2 days, the electrical equipment you may use are: mobile phones, speakers, projectors, cameras, game machine, pots for cooking, etc. Due to the camping time is short ( probably two days and one night), the demand of electricity is not strong, and it only needs to meet several entertainment. Therefore, the recommended model is a small-capacity power supply such as 500W, 1000W, 1500W chargers.

Indoor Usage - Home Power Outage or Blackout

The emergency always happens suddenly. There are some areas that lacks of power or are always under construction, people living there would often be plagued by power outages. In this way a big capacity home use charger is very important for emergency powering. At meanwhile, a high power solar charging panel is very useful to use as a combination with power station, it can charge the charger effectively on sunny days, without needing electricity to get power.

3. Dont's Ignore the Safety
