FAQ

1. What can you run on a portable power station?

Portable power stations are generally designed to power smaller electronic devices and appliances, from phones and table fans to heavy-duty work lights and CPAP machines. Pay attention to the estimated watt-hours each brand provides in its specs to determine which model makes the most sense for what you'd like to power.

If a company says its portable power station has 200 watt-hours, it should be able power a device with a 1-watt output for about 200 hours. I go into more detail on this in the "How we test" section below, but consider the wattage of the device or devices you want to power and then the number of watt-hours your portable power station would need to have.

2. How long can you run a portable power station?

You can get close to the answer with some basic math. If you have a power station that is rated at 1,000 watt-hours, and you plug in a device, let's say a tv, rated at 100 watts, then you can divide that 1,000 by 100 and say that it will run for 10 hours.

However, this isn't usually the case. The industry 'standard' is to say that you should take 85% of the total capacity for that math. In that case, 850 watt-hours divided by 100 watts for the tv would be 8.5 hours.

The reality is that you should expect somewhere between 8.5 and 10 hours in this example.

3. How to choose the best portable power stations for you

When deciding which portable power station to use, first consider what your main priorities actually are. For example, do you need one for just the office, will it be kept just outside of a main building, or will it be needed on the go far from other alternative power sources? Consider whether weight be an issue for carrying, and also that the battery will last long enough for the use you need it for. Look at the various pointers we raise in the reviews above and see if any particular model stands out as particularly suitable to your needs.
