Since I bought mine for about 230 bucks Canadian, it’s been my main device charger and it can serve as a UPS.
I decided to buy it after we had a bunch of power outages within a short time span.
It has a 288Wh battery, with an inverter that can deliver 600 Watts of power.
It’s mainly used to keep my headphones, Google Pixel and iPad charged up however it can run my PC for a solid 2-3 hours before running out of power.
What do you think about power stations?
A few years ago I would have said they are useless but I ended up buying one for my off grid cabin in winter and I like it.
I have solar panels and batteries with a small 500w inverter in the cabin and the setup works very well in summer for my usage. However temperature averages in January here are around -10C and the batteries get too cold to charge them. Also there is generally not much sun in winter anyway.
So I bought a small generic power station to bring there and it’s excellent for my needs. It lights up the place and charges my laptop and phone.
To be fair it’s kind of overkill because my laptop and phone can be charged from a hefty power bank using PD.
