It only takes a dead phone battery in the woods or a sudden blackout to remind you of the importance of a reliable battery. But what factors should you consider when choosing the battery that best meets your power needs? Here are some tips that may help!
Battery Size:
Battery size usually refers to a portable power station’s capacity, dimensions, weight, or all three factors combined. Generally, the larger the capacity, the heavier and bigger the power station tends to be. The battery size you need depends on the number and type of devices you’ll charge, how long you expect to be without power, and how much space you have to place the power station.
For example, if you’re preparing for an outdoor day trip and don’t have much space in your trunk filled with snacks and drinks, a 200~700 Wh power station—usually about half the size of the larger 1000 Wh models—would better meet your needs.

Outlet Options:
The number and type of outlets are also important factors to consider when choosing a battery. A variety of outlet options can strongly indicate a battery’s versatility, but you should still decide based on your specific charging needs.
For example, if you only need to charge a phone, a USB-A or USB-C outlet with a matching cable is definitely what you’ll need on your battery. If you also want to charge your camera, drone, or appliances like fans or an air conditioner, then an AC outlet is a must.

The types of devices you can charge with a power station also depend on the voltage. A mobile phone usually requires significantly less voltage than a laptop, CPAP machine, or coffee maker.
