4.1/5
We carried the Explorer 1000 v2 over several weekends, and it's exactly the format we hoped for from Jackery. At 10.8 kg with a folding handle, it slips into the trunk without a fight, yet it still puts out 1500W continuously, enough to run a kettle or an induction burner while camping, which many stations this size can't do. The 1070Wh easily cover a night of camping fridge plus charging phones and a laptop. Recharging is a real highlight: in emergency mode via the app, we got close to a full charge in about an hour on a regular outlet, versus roughly an hour and a half in standard mode, and quiet mode drops noise below 30dB, so you forget it's there. The 100W USB-C port is perfect for a laptop. Jackery advertises a 5-year total warranty on this unit (3 years standard, plus 2 more when registered directly with Jackery), worth confirming at checkout depending on where you buy. The only small gripe is the fairly basic screen and the fan spinning up in the fastest charge mode. Otherwise, it's a solid, well-built, dependable choice.

4.4/5
We put the C1000 Gen 2 through its paces at home and on weekends, and its recharge speed is stunning: barely more than a lunch break and it's full, which changes everything when you leave on short notice. It kept the fridge, the router and two laptops going for a good part of the day, and the UPS switchover during a test outage went completely unnoticed. We love how compact it is (11.3 kg, you move it one-handed) and how quiet it stays at rest. The app lets you switch to UltraFast mode or, conversely, cap the input to quiet the fans, which are a little present during fast charging. Two honest gripes: unlike the older C1000X, this generation isn't expandable, and 2000W remains a ceiling for the very largest appliances. As a compact, reliable, ultra-fast-charging station, it's hard to fault.

We tried it both in a camper van and at home, and the Delta 2 simply gets the job done. The lightning recharge (80% in under an hour) is a game changer at a motorway stop, and the app is a real plus. It ran a fridge, the router and two laptops for a good part of the day. Only gripe: the fans blow hard during fast charging, but you can quiet them by capping the power. Rugged and expandable.

Its LiFePO4 battery, TÜV Rheinland certified, promises 10 years of use, and its recharge is among the fastest in the segment: 0 to 100% in 60 minutes. Four charge modes (mains, car, solar, USB-C) and app control complete the picture.

4.0/5
We took the River 2 Max on a camping weekend and it proved the ideal companion for the traveller who doesn't want to be weighed down: at 6.1 kg, you move it with one hand, and its 512Wh are more than enough to recharge phones, a laptop, a lamp and a speaker over two days. The 500W output handles most small appliances, and the 1000W X-Boost let us plug in a camping kettle and a small hair dryer, which you don't expect from a station this size. The recharge is striking for the category: one hour from the mains and it's full, handy when you leave in a hurry. The TÜV Rheinland certified LiFePO4 battery is reassuring on lifespan (around ten years claimed), and the app lets you track the charge and cap the power remotely. Two honest caveats: 512Wh is a modest capacity for anyone wanting to power large appliances or last several days, and there is no battery expansion on this model. But for a compact, fast and reliable station, it is a safe mid-range bet.

4.1/5
The River 3 Max Plus Wireless is one of the cleverest stations we have tested. The modular concept hits home: you keep the large capacity (858Wh) at home or camp, and detach the small magnetic Rapid 5000mAh power bank to head out with just enough to recharge your phone, wirelessly at that. The built-in Qi2 15W inductive charger is a real everyday comfort, you set the phone on it without looking for a cable. On performance, the 600W (1200W in X-Boost) power most devices, the full recharge in one hour is excellent, and the quiet (under 30 dB) makes it perfect indoors, even at night. The under-10 ms switchover secures sensitive devices during a cut. Two caveats: this premium modular concept costs a little more than a classic station of equivalent capacity, and the wireless part will mainly appeal to those living in the portable ecosystem. But for anyone wanting a versatile, quiet and genuinely modern station, it is an original success.

4.2/5
We lugged the River 3 Plus around for several weeks, from the desk to the campsite, and it quickly earned its place. First good point: plugged in on a Friday evening, it goes from nearly empty to full in about an hour, so no more stress over a forgotten charge. Out in the field, it powered a mini fridge, an LED string light and two phones through a whole evening without flinching, still with charge to spare by morning. Another real plus is the quiet: sitting inside the tent you forget it is even there, where other models have their fan droning away. Its UPS function even saved us during a brief power cut at home, the router and NAS did not notice a thing. Two honest downsides: 286 Wh shows its limits over several days of heavy use (the add-on battery then becomes essential), and the handle, handy as it is, could be a touch more comfortable. Otherwise it is hard to do better in this price range: fast charging, LFP longevity and versatility make it an excellent first power station.

4.0/5
The Vtoman FlashSpeed 600 is one of those compact stations that tick many boxes on a contained budget. We took it on a camping weekend and it kept up with no trouble: charging phones, running an electric cooler, a fan and LED lighting, with margin to spare. What we like first is its LiFePO4 battery, more durable and safer than conventional lithium, with a claimed life up to 10 years. Its 600W covers most small devices, and the 1200W peak helps start slightly more demanding equipment. Fast charging is a real plus: you get 80% back in an hour from the mains, handy before setting off. The option to add an expansion battery to climb around 2000Wh is clever if needs grow. The downsides: 499Wh remain limited for large devices or multi-day runtime, and the electronics make some noise under heavy load. But for a versatile, expandable compact, it is an excellent starting point.

4.1/5
We took the Elite 100 V2 on a van weekend and the first thing that stands out is the weight: at 11.5kg with its built-in handle, you can carry it one-handed without effort, a real change from the usually much heavier 1kWh-class stations. Its 1800W output (2700W with Power Lifting) ran a kettle and a small induction hob without flinching, uses you don't necessarily expect from such a compact format. The recharge is impressive too: on mains, it jumps to 80% in 45 minutes flat, handy when you need to head off quickly. Day to day it stays very quiet, almost forgettable next to the bed. One small gripe: with 1024Wh, you have to keep usage reasonable over several days without a recharge, and the fastest USB-C port (140W) isn't always obvious to spot without the manual. For a versatile, easy-to-carry station, it's a genuine success.

4.4/5
We used the Delta 3 both at home, to cover power cuts, and on weekends in a van, and it is its versatility that stands out. The 1800W output handles a kettle, an induction hob or tools without flinching, and the X-Boost function pushes up to 2400W for the most demanding resistive appliances, which is rare at this price. The recharge is striking: plugged into the wall, it goes from 0 to 100% in under an hour, you top it up during a meal before setting off again. The LiFePO4 battery is reassuring, 4000 cycles claimed, meaning a decade of regular use, and its quiet operation makes it pleasant indoors. As backup, the automatic switchover during a cut kept our router and fridge running without us noticing. Two honest caveats: 1024Wh is a mid-range capacity, you need the add-on batteries to last several days, and the weight (around 12 kg) makes it transportable but not light. For a reliable, fast do-it-all station, it is a safe bet.

Use case: Remote work
The AC180 is an excellent base for a mobile workstation: its 1800 W effortlessly run a computer, one or two monitors, a printer, the router and lighting, and its 1152 Wh ensure a full day away from the outlet. Its UPS function (switchover under 20 ms) protects the session from micro-cuts and prevents lost work. Its two outlets and 100 W USB-C port cover the essential peripherals, a power strip remaining necessary beyond that, and a recharge to 80 % in 45 minutes brings it back online quickly between meetings. Portable (16.4 kg), it moves from office to garden, van or co-working spot depending on the day.

The Bluetti AC180 is a 1152 Wh portable power station that delivers 1800 W continuous, and up to 2700 W thanks to Power Lifting mode for resistive appliances. Its LiFePO4 battery targets over 3500 cycles, a mark of longevity. It lines up 9 outputs (2 AC sockets, USB-C 100W, 4 USB-A, 12V, 15W wireless charging) to power a fridge as easily as a laptop. Its big asset: a lightning recharge from 0 to 80% in just 45 minutes on mains, and four charging modes (mains, solar up to 500W, car, generator). Controllable via the Bluetti app.

4.2/5
The AC180 is one of those stations that put your mind at ease: you take it out of the box, plug in the camping fridge, the coffee maker and the phones, and everything runs without a hitch. Its 1800 W cover the vast majority of everyday devices, and Power Lifting mode genuinely helps out with a kettle or a small resistive heater. We especially appreciated the recharge speed: on mains, it is back to 80% in three quarters of an hour, ideal when you want to top up before leaving. The 9 outputs cover plenty of kit, but the European version has only two 230 V sockets and does require a power strip, and monitoring via the Bluetti app is clear. The LiFePO4 battery promises reassuring longevity, well beyond older classic-lithium stations. Two honest caveats: at around 16.4 kg it carries but does not slip into a backpack, and the fan makes itself heard during fast charging or heavy load. For van, camping, remote work or home backup use, it offers an excellent balance of capacity, power and price.

4.2/5
We kept the River 2 Pro in rotation for several weeks between the office and days out. What strikes you first is the charging: run flat one morning, it was full before we had finished our coffee, barely over an hour. Out in the field, its 768 Wh easily covered an evening of camping with a cool box, lighting and topping up two phones and a laptop. The 3 AC sockets are a real comfort, no fighting to plug things in, and the USB-C 100 W port charges a laptop without its original charger. We also liked the app, handy for capping the charge power and silencing the fans when you want quiet. Two honest downsides: it makes its 7.8 kg felt when you move it around a lot, and the capacity is not expandable, where some recent rivals allow it. But as a first genuinely versatile, fast and well-equipped station, it won us over and remains a benchmark in its class.
Anker Solix S2000 Ideal
See price and availability (8)
The most compact 2kWh power station, TÜV SÜD certified for real home backup, with record-low 6W standby and a lightning-fast UPS switchover.
- Capacity : 2010 Wh (LiFePO4, 10,000 cycles to 60%)
- Output : 1500W (3000W peak)
- Weight : 16.2 kg, the lightest 2kWh station
- Runtime : Up to 35h for a fridge (TÜV SÜD certified)
- TÜV SÜD certified, 6W standby, just 16.2 kg
Use case: Remote work
Compact (16.2 kg, the lightest 2kWh station according to Anker) and quiet (30 dB, with a dedicated silent mode), the S2000 fits naturally under a desk to secure a remote work session. Its UPS switchover in under 10 ms keeps a computer, monitor and router running through a brief mains blip, with no dropped connection or reboot. The 2010Wh cover a long working day of laptop, router and lighting use, and the 100W USB-C port charges most modern laptops directly with no extra mains brick. The ultra-low 6W standby draw (OptiSave) means it can stay plugged in permanently without waste. One caveat for now: the S2000 is only sold in the United States (120V/60Hz output), so European mains sockets need a plug adapter, no problem for universal laptop chargers, but worth checking device by device.

The Anker Solix S2000 is a 2010Wh portable power station billed as the smallest and lightest 2kWh station around (16.2 kg / 35.7 lb). TÜV SÜD certified for up to 35 hours of fridge backup, it boasts a record-low 6W standby draw and a sub-10ms UPS switchover. With 1,500W output (3,000W peak) and a 10,000-cycle LiFePO4 battery, it is a dependable home backup reserve, currently sold only in the US at 120V.
The S2000 surprises first with its size: barely 16.2 kg, you move it with one hand where most 2kWh stations need two hands or wheels. Hooked up as backup for a fridge, it largely lives up to the claim, the TÜV SÜD certified runtime is not just a marketing line. The under-6W standby draw is genuinely impressive, you can leave it as a permanent UPS buffer without worrying about draining the battery between outages. The switchover in under 10 ms is invisible in use, the computer never reboots. Two real caveats: 1,500W continuous is fine for the essentials but you hit the ceiling fast with a power tool, and above all, it cannot be bought in the UK or the EU yet, the S2000 remains a US model at 120V, not expandable. A great compact reserve for anyone importing it or living stateside, well worth watching for an international launch.

- Output : 1800 W (X-Boost 2400 W)
- Solar : Dual MPPT up to 1000 W
- Recharge : 0 to 100% in 56 min (mains)
- Dual 1000 W solar, 140 W USB-C, NAS-ready UPS
Use case: Remote work
For a demanding mobile workstation, the Delta 3 Plus goes further than the base Delta 3: its two USB-C ports reach 140 W, enough to charge a powerful laptop at full speed while running screens, router and lighting on its 1800 W. Its UPS function (switchover under 10 ms) with NAS and HID support protects an entire connected workstation, down to the storage server, without ever interrupting a render or a video call. Its 1024 Wh ensure long hours of connectivity, expandable to 5 kWh, and its full recharge in 56 minutes brings it back online fast. Compact and quiet (30 dB), it suits a studio, a creative workshop or a shared workspace.

The EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus takes the excellent Delta 3 base (1024 Wh LiFePO4, 1800 W, 56-minute recharge, expandable to 5 kWh) and adds the features that make the difference: a dual solar input up to 1000 W (two MPPT) to recharge twice as fast in the sun, 140 W USB-C ports for powerful laptops, and an advanced inverter with NAS and HID support that protects a storage server during an outage. A versatile station designed for the connected office, the van and home backup.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.3/5
We compared the Delta 3 Plus to the base Delta 3 over several weeks, and the premium justifies itself as soon as you use one of its three real new features. The dual solar input up to 1000 W is the most telling: with two panels, it recharges visibly faster than a single-input station, a real plus in a van or a second home. The 140 W USB-C ports charge our laptops at full speed, without going through the mains brick. And above all, the inverter's NAS and HID compatibility kept our storage server and its software UPS perfectly stable during our outage tests, where a classic station might have cut the NAS. Otherwise, you get everything that makes the Delta 3 strong: 1024 Wh, 1800 W (2400 W X-Boost), 56-minute recharge and expansion to 5 kWh. One useful point: it is no heavier than the Delta 3, 12.5 kg in both cases, so the premium costs nothing in bulk. The one real caveat: if you use neither fast solar, nor the 140 W, nor the NAS, the base Delta 3 is enough and costs less. But for a connected office or a solar setup, the Plus is the right choice.

4.3/5
We were curious to see DJI enter the power arena, and the Power 2000 quickly reassures. Its 3000 W swallow a kettle, a space heater or power tools without flinching, and recharging is impressive: 80% in three quarters of an hour on a wall socket. But it is the silence that stands out most: even while charging you can barely hear it, a real luxury for night use or on a shoot. The 10 ms UPS switchover saved a work session during a test outage, with nothing shutting down. The two 140 W USB-C ports are perfect for charging laptops and batteries. Two honest gripes: at 22 kg it carries but it is heavy, and the accessory ecosystem (solar input, expansions) relies on in-house connectors. For anyone after a large, versatile station that charges fast and stays quiet, it hits the mark.

4.3/5
The DJI Power 1000 stands out immediately for two qualities: its power and its quietness. With 2200W available, it powers demanding devices without flinching (tools, small appliances, video gear), where many stations of equivalent capacity cap lower. We used it on a shoot and at home during a power cut: each time, the sense of ruggedness and seriousness is there, true to DJI's reputation. Its operation at just 23 dB is impressive: you literally forget it, a real plus when working nearby or when it runs at night. Charging is ultra-fast (80% in 50 minutes), and the 140W USB-C ports charge a laptop at full speed. For DJI drone owners, SDC fast charging is a welcome bonus. The downsides: the price stays high, and the 1024Wh capacity, though comfortable, will need an expansion for multi-day runtime. But for a powerful, quiet and perfectly finished station, the DJI Power 1000 is a benchmark.

4.3/5
We used the R600 for several weeks, and for the price it is a pleasant surprise. The first good point is charging: left on a socket over lunch, it comes back full, barely over an hour. Out and about, its 299 Wh covered an evening of camping with an electric cool box, an LED string light and topping up two phones, without strain. We liked the little wireless charging pad on top: drop the phone on it and you are done, no hunting for a cable. The two AC outlets and USB-C ports are plenty for portable use. The UPS function bailed us out during a brief power cut at home, the router did not notice. And above all, the 5-year warranty is genuinely reassuring on a product at this price. Two honest downsides: 299 Wh is a top-up capacity you have to manage, and the lack of battery expansion limits future-proofing. But at this price it is hard to be picky: it is an excellent entry point into portable power.

3.8/5
The EB3A is the little station that does a lot for its price. We first used it camping to run a cool box, lighting and to charge phones and a camera: its 268Wh is plenty for a light weekend, and at 4.6 kg you move it without thinking. The real surprise is charging: on the mains, it is back to 80% in under an hour, which is impressive in this segment and very handy when you leave in a rush. The small wireless pad on top is a nice bonus for the phone. Just do not overestimate its 600W: it is perfect for electronics and small appliances, but Power Lifting mode never really delivers the claimed 1200W: a kettle or hair dryer just limps along. For portable top-ups or an occasional backup reserve, at this reduced price it remains a good choice, as long as you do not rely on it too heavily for prolonged critical backup.

4.2/5
I took it out in a van and kept it at home for a few days, and honestly, for the price, it ticks almost every box. First impression out of the box: it is surprisingly light for 1 kWh, you move it with one hand without thinking. Outdoors, I ran a compressor cooler, charged the phones and two laptops, and even pulled out the blender for a fruit juice in the middle of nowhere: the 1800 W takes it in stride. What impressed me most is the silence, even under load you forget it is there, a real plus when you sleep next to it in a van. Mains recharge is express, a lunch break is enough to leave nearly full. The compromises are real and worth knowing: few USB ports, no 12V car socket, and the solar input is capped at 500 W. Nothing dealbreaking for typical off-grid use. In the end, if you want a simple, powerful and quiet station around $677.00 it is a purchase I recommend without hesitation.

The UPS function also shields the setup from micro-cuts, preventing lost work. The fast 80 % recharge in 45 minutes is ideal for getting going again between sessions.

4.3/5
We lived with the R1500 for several weeks, and for the price it is impressive. The first shock is charging: plugged in when you get home, it is back to 80% by the time you have put the shopping away, around forty minutes. Its 1800 W swallows a kettle, a microwave or a jigsaw without flinching, where many rivals give up. Camping, its 1152 Wh lasted two days with a cool box, lighting, phone charging and a laptop. We liked the 4 AC outlets, rare at this price, and the generous solar input up to 650 W that fills it quickly in the sun. The UPS function kept the router running during a power cut. The one real downside is the weight: at nearly 17 kg, you do not move it one-handed, it is clearly meant for the van, the car or a fixed spot at home. But given what it offers and its price, it is seriously good value.

4.1/5
The Explorer 500 v2 is the station you take without a second thought: at 5.7 kg, it slips into a backpack or under the van seat and carries in one hand like a small cooler. Despite its size, it puts out 500W continuously, enough to run an electric cool box, charge two phones, a drone and a laptop over a camping weekend without hitting zero. What we like most is the new LiFePO4 battery, far more durable than the lithium of older Explorers, and the express recharge: about an hour from a socket and you are off again. The two USB-C ports are handy for recent devices. You just have to keep its limits in mind: 500W is not enough for a kettle or an induction hob, which is not its purpose. For light off-grid use and top-ups, it is faultless, well finished and reassuring.
Bluetti Elite 10 Ideal
See price and availability (5)
A 128Wh, 200W mini power station with a 10ms UPS and a full recharge in just 70 minutes: the power of a station that fits in your pocket.
- Capacity : 128Wh (LiFePO4 battery)
- Power : 200W continuous, built-in AC outlet
- Recharge : 100% in 70 min (150W mains), 100W solar
- Weight : 1.8 kg, 20x14.6x11 cm
- 10ms UPS and a full recharge in 70 minutes
Use case: Remote work
For remote work, the Elite 10 acts as a miniature backup desk: its 200W comfortably runs a laptop through its AC outlet or its 100W USB-C port, and its UPS switches to battery in just 10 ms during a power cut, enough time to save your work before the screen goes dark. Its ultra-compact shape (1.8 kg, 20x14.6x11 cm) slips into a bag without effort, and a full recharge in 70 minutes gets it ready again between sessions, handy in a café, a coworking space or a campervan where space is tight. Its 128Wh remains modest for a full day at full load, though: keep it for light use, a laptop alone rather than a dual-monitor setup, topping it up on a break if needed. It still makes an excellent safety net against the brief outages that lose unsaved work.

It still makes an excellent safety net against the brief outages that lose unsaved work.
The Bluetti Elite 10 is a 128Wh portable mini power station with a LiFePO4 battery, small enough to fit in your hand and weighing just 1.8 kg. It delivers 200W continuous through its AC outlet, backed by a 100W USB-C port, a 15W USB-C port, two 15W USB-A ports and a 12V DC output. Its UPS switches over in 10 ms to protect sensitive devices during an outage. It recharges to 100% in just 70 minutes on the mains, or via a solar panel or the car's cigarette lighter socket. Far more than a plain power bank.
We were sceptical at first glance: barely bigger than a large power bank, yet the Elite 10 packs a genuine 200W AC outlet, enough to plug in a laptop charger or a small lamp with no adapter needed. Working remotely, its UPS function proved its worth: during a mains outage it kicked in instantly, just long enough to save our work. Another pleasant surprise was the recharge: back on the mains, it returns to 100% in a little over an hour, which is fast for this segment. The small LED light on top is a genuine plus for a bivouac night or a power cut at home. Two honest gripes: with only 128Wh, you have to keep usage sensible, nothing power-hungry runs for long, and only one USB-C port delivers the full 100W, the rest are capped at 15W. For nomadic top-ups, light remote work or a small backup reserve in a shape that fits in your hand, the Elite 10 remains a safe bet from Bluetti.
Growatt Infinity 1300 Ideal
$1156.78 (4)

- Power : 1800W (pure sine)
- Capacity : 1382Wh LiFePO4
- Outputs : 14 outputs (AC, USB-C, USB-A, 12V)
- Recharge : Mains in ~1h48
- 1382Wh LiFePO4, 14 outputs and 5-year warranty
Use case: Remote work
The Growatt Infinity 1300 is a solid base for a mobile workstation: its 1800 W effortlessly run a computer, one or two monitors, a printer, the router and lighting, and its 1382 Wh ensure a full workday away from the office. Its UPS function (20 ms switchover) protects the session from micro-cuts to prevent data loss. Its two 100 W USB-C ports recharge laptops and tablets along the way, and a solar input up to 800 W extends autonomy outdoors. At 19.2 kg it travels by car rather than by hand, from office to garden, van or co-working spot.

The Growatt Infinity 1300 is a 1382Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, able to deliver 1800W of pure sine wave. With its 14 outputs, it powers up to 14 devices at once (AC outlets, USB-C, USB-A, 12V). Its LiFePO4 battery withstands over 3000 cycles, more than 10 years of normal use, and recharges very fast from the mains (about 1h48), from solar or in a car. A versatile station for camping, campers, home working or power cuts, backed by a 5-year warranty.
The Growatt Infinity 1300 is one of those stations that offer a lot of capacity and versatility for their price range. Its 1382Wh paired with an 1800W pure sine wave inverter let it power a wide variety of devices: portable fridge, computers, screens, lighting, internet router, small appliances, both camping and during a home power cut. What we particularly like is its LiFePO4 battery, a guarantee of safety and longevity (over 3000 cycles), paired with a reassuring 5-year warranty. Charging is fast, around 1h48 from the mains, and it also accepts solar and car charging. Its 14 outputs cover every need. Points to note: it is no longer always easy to find on the French market (a model at end of distribution, often replaced by the Infinity 1500), and for large power-hungry devices over time, higher capacity would be needed. But technically, it remains an excellent powerful, long-lasting station.

Oukitel P800 Ideal
$540.25 $364.23
Just 6 kg for 800W (1600W peak) and 512Wh LiFePO4: the Oukitel P800 bets on compactness and a one hour mains recharge.
- Power : 800W (1600W peak)
- Capacity : 512Wh LiFePO4
- Weight : 6 kg
- Recharge : 500W mains, full charge in about 1h
- Strong point : Very light (6 kg) for its capacity
Use case: Remote work
The Oukitel P800 effortlessly covers a day of remote work: its 800 W handles a laptop, a 4G router and a small monitor, and its automatic transfer switch (under 10 ms claimed) protects your session during a brief power blip. Its two 100 W USB-C ports recharge a laptop and a tablet at the same time. Compact and recharged in one hour on mains power, it's easy to carry between the office and a coworking space.

The Oukitel P800 is a compact 512Wh portable power station, able to deliver 800W continuously and up to 1600W at peak. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 4000 cycles at 80% capacity, a good lifespan for this format. It offers one AC outlet, two USB-C ports (one at 100W), two USB-A ports, a 12V output and an LCD screen for monitoring. Mains recharging reaches 500W (about one hour for a full charge), and it accepts up to 200W of solar input. At 6 kg on the scale, it's one of the lightest in its capacity category.
The Oukitel P800 plays a simple card: offering 800W and 512Wh in one of the lightest formats and weights in its category, just 6 kg. That's a real difference in daily use compared with rivals that often exceed 7 or 8 kg for a comparable capacity, and it shows the moment you have to pull it out of a boot or carry it to a camping spot. Mains recharging is another strong point: a full charge in about one hour means less waiting before heading off again. Two reservations kept us cautious with our rating. First, remote control: the manufacturer's documentation and some marketing material mention compatibility with the Oukitel app, but the official product page and the manufacturer's own comparison table explicitly exclude this specific model (unlike the P1000 Plus and P2001 Plus in the same range). Without clear confirmation, we'd rather not promise app control. Second, this is a very recent model (late 2025): real world feedback is still scarce for judging its long term reliability, unlike older, more tested references. On paper and in our spec checks, it's a credible compact unit well positioned on price; we'll update this page as customer feedback comes in.
EcoFlow River 2 Suitable
See price and availability (34)
256Wh and a genuine 1 hour full recharge from the wall, the fastest in its class: the EcoFlow River 2 follows US buyers from the campsite to home backup.
- Capacity : 256Wh, LFP (LiFePO4) battery
- Power : 300W, up to 600W with X-Boost
- Recharge : 0 to 100% in about 60 min from the wall
- Weight : 3.5kg (7.7lb)
- 1 hour full recharge, 3000+ cycles, 5-year warranty
Use case: Remote work
For mobile or remote work, the River 2 handles the basics: its 300W output runs a laptop and a monitor, and the single 60W USB-C port charges a laptop directly, though several reviewers wish for a second USB-C port for simultaneous laptop and headphone charging. Its EPS function switches to battery in under 30ms, enough to protect an ongoing call or a saved document through a brief blip. At 3.5kg it moves easily between a desk, a shed or a van. Its 256Wh suit a few hours of light use rather than a full day of heavier equipment.

Compact and lightweight, the EcoFlow River 2 is a favorite US pick for keeping devices running off the grid. Its LiFePO4 battery fully recharges in about an hour from the wall, a record confirmed by numerous US buyers, and is rated for 3000+ cycles. From camping and van shed setups to CPAP backup and small-business UPS duty, it powers phones, laptops, lighting and light appliances up to 300W continuous (600W with X-Boost), all managed from the EcoFlow app.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.2/5
Few products in this price range have as deep a US review base as the River 2, over 4,500 ratings, and the real-world stories back up the spec sheet. One owner runs it as a line-interactive UPS for a small business's security system, right at the edge of its 300W budget but delivering 60 to 75 minutes of clean runtime with zero dropped connections during real outages. Another ran a CPAP machine for six hours and still had 40% left. A third turned an unpowered shed into an off-grid e-bike charging station using solar input alone, calling it a gateway device to a bigger battery habit. The genuinely-timed 1 hour full recharge shows up again and again in reviews, and the EPS switchover, under 30ms, kept a router and NVR running invisibly through brief blips. A firmware update briefly broke AC charging display for one buyer, fixed a few days later by EcoFlow support. The more serious caveat: a vocal minority report their unit draining to zero within days even when idle, with mixed luck getting warranty support to resolve it.
Anker Solix C300 Suitable

- Output : 300W (600W SurgePad), 3 outlets
- USB-C : 140W bidirectional (laptop charging)
- Comfort : Built-in light, 25 dB, 0-80% in 50 min
- 288Wh, USB-C 140W, ultra-quiet
Use case: Remote work
For occasional work away from the office, the C300 handles the essentials: its three USB-C ports up to 140W fast-charge a laptop and a tablet, and its 300W output powers a router or hotspot for hours. Its 288Wh suit a morning of work or a video call in a backyard, a van or a co-working spot with no outlet nearby, and its UPS function (10ms switchover) shields the setup from brief power blips. Very light (4.13 kg) and quiet (25 dB), it travels without a second thought. Its modest capacity keeps it to light work; a dual-monitor setup or a printer calls for more.

4.4/5
We tested the Solix C300 for its format above all: three real household outlets, a 140W USB-C port that charges a laptop at full speed, and even a built-in light for camping or an outage. Its 300W output (600W in SurgePad mode) covers most small appliances, and we especially like how quiet it runs, at 25 dB you forget it completely on a nightstand or desk. Charging is fast for the category, 80% in fifty minutes on a wall outlet, and the 140W USB-C port doubles as a quick way to recharge it. The retractable handle and small footprint make it a true pocket station you grab without thinking twice. Two honest caveats: 288Wh is a backup capacity, perfect for USB devices, a mini fridge or an evening, not for several days on end, and solar input tops out at 100W. For a compact, complete and quiet station, it remains a strong value.

Its inverter (UPS) function and its LFP chemistry rated for 3000 cycles make it a reliable reserve for camping, mobile work or backup.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.3/5
We slipped the River 3 into a backpack to see how far EcoFlow's smallest station goes, and it surprises. At 3.5 kg and barely thicker than a big book, you really take it everywhere: on a day of hiking photography it recharged two camera bodies, a drone and our phones without flinching. The one-hour recharge is the model's real luxury, you top it up in the time it takes to have a coffee. As backup at home, its inverter function kept the router and a camera running without the slightest flicker during a micro-outage. The silence is total, you forget it under the tent. Two owned limits: 245 Wh remains a small reserve, best kept for light devices, and unlike the River 3 Plus it is not expandable, which you must anticipate if needs grow. For a first compact, fast and LFP-durable mobile station, it offers a footprint-to-service ratio that is hard to beat.
Anker Solix C800 Suitable
See price and availability (15)
768 Wh, 1200 W (1600 W peak) and five AC outlets: the Anker Solix C800 recharges fully in 58 minutes and switches to UPS mode in under 20 ms.
- Capacity : 768 Wh (LiFePO4, 3000 cycles)
- AC output : 1200 W, up to 1600 W peak, 5 AC outlets
- Recharge : 0 to 100% in 58 min, solar up to 300 W
- UPS : Switches to battery in under 20 ms
- Five AC outlets and a full recharge in 58 minutes
Use case: Remote work
For remote work outdoors or in a van, the Anker Solix C800 easily lasts a full day: a laptop, a secondary monitor and an internet connection rarely draw more than 60 to 70 W, well under its 1200 W ceiling. Its two USB-C ports up to 100 W recharge a laptop directly with no separate charger, and its five AC outlets can take a printer or a desk lamp if needed. Its UPS function (switching in under 20 ms) keeps video calls safe from brief power blips. At 10.5 kg, it moves easily from desk to garden, and its 58-minute recharge fits neatly into a lunch break.

It delivers 1200 W continuous (up to 1600 W with SurgePad) through five AC outlets, two USB-C ports up to 100 W and two USB-A ports. Its UPS function switches to battery in under 20 ms during an outage, and a full recharge takes just 58 minutes on mains power, or up to 300 W via solar. Compact (10.5 kg) and controllable through the Anker app, it fills the gap between the C300X DC and the C1000 in the Solix lineup.
We ran the Anker Solix C800 for several weeks, between camping weekends and a simulated power cut at home, and its versatility is impressive for this size. The five AC outlets genuinely change the game at an evening get-together: fairy lights, a speaker and a kettle plugged in at once, no power strip juggling required. The 58-minute recharge lives up to the promise, a real plus when you head out at short notice. The UPS switchover during a test outage went completely unnoticed, the router and computer didn't even flicker. We also like the sturdy handle and the clear, readable screen. Two honest gripes: at 10.5 kg it travels far better in a car than on your back, and the Anker app remains fairly basic compared to the competition. For a versatile home backup or a well-equipped camping trip without breaking the bank, it remains a solid choice.

Its 299Wh cap the runtime to a few hours depending on what's plugged in, but its expansion up to 939Wh with an optional add-on battery lets it cover a full day away from a socket. Compact and easy to carry, it suits occasional use better than intensive daily remote work.

We tested the Vtoman Jump 600X over a motorhome weekend, and the first thing that strikes you is the size: barely bigger than a large cooler, it fits easily in a boot. It recharged phones and a laptop without trouble, and ran a small electric cooler for a whole afternoon. Its real signature feature is the jump-start connector: handy to have on hand for rescuing a flat car battery without pulling out traditional jump leads, even though the matching cable is sold separately. Mains recharging, about 3 hours for a full charge through its single 100W-capped input, takes a bit of patience compared with faster models. And with 299Wh as standard, the limit shows quickly against anything that heats up (kettle, toaster): a few minutes of heavy use and the charge drains fast. The capacity expansion is reassuring for longer trips. For a versatile compact at this price, with a feature few rivals offer, it's a safe bet.

4.2/5
We ran the Fossibot F1200 for several weeks, between the garden, a van trip and an improvised power cut. First impression: it charges fast, really fast. Going from 0 to 80% in under an hour on a simple wall socket is a game changer when you leave at the last minute. The UPS function proved itself during a brief outage: the router and laptop did not even blink. We also appreciated the deliberate simplicity: no app to install, no account to create, everything reads straight off the LCD screen. The main downside is the solar input, capped at 200W, a bit limited if you rely heavily on the sun for full autonomy, and there is no way to expand capacity if your needs grow. For the price, well below the big brands with comparable specs, it is a very pleasant surprise.

4.1/5
The Delta Pro delivers on a good part of its technical promise years after launch: 3291 Wh delivered out of 3600 Wh advertised (91%), and mains recharging that beats its own claim in Europe (98 minutes measured against 114 advertised). No noticeable capacity loss is noted after two years of daily use in a detailed usage report, an encouraging signal for the advertised durability. The best-batteries.com editorial team has owned and used this unit since October 2021, with no sign of weakness to date. Two serious reservations before buying. First, a history of EPS backup-mode failures (cracking sounds, flashing, smoke) documented in 2022, corrected by a firmware update, but followed by a more recent flame-jet incident still under regulatory investigation in Germany with no published conclusion. Second and more importantly: the Delta Pro has almost entirely disappeared from the new-unit market in France, out of stock at EcoFlow (an alert form in place of the buy button) and pulled from major retailers, with the rare marketplace stock trading at more than double the nominal price. Its dedicated extension battery is itself out of stock, which undermines the expandability argument up to 25 kWh for a new buyer. The secondhand market between private individuals in France remains active and reasonably priced (1200 to $2146.09), a more realistic alternative than a new purchase today.
DJI Power 1000 Mini Suitable
$751.50 (9)
1 kWh in 11.5 kg: DJI squeezes a genuine 800 W station into a format half the size, with 80% charge in under an hour.
- Capacity : 1008 Wh (LiFePO4, 4000 cycles)
- Power : 800 W continuous (1000 W peak)
- Recharge : 80% in 58 min, 400 W solar
- Weight : 11.5 kg (314 x 212 x 216 mm)
- 1 kWh in 11.5 kg, retractable 100 W USB-C
Use case: Remote work
For a home office or a nomadic coworking spot, it secures an entire workstation. Its two 100 W USB-C ports charge a laptop at full speed without a mains socket, and the 230 V outlets feed screens, router and printer. Its 1008 Wh last a full working day during an outage or in a place without electricity. Quiet operation means it can sit under a desk without disturbing a video call. It is, however, oversized for simple fixed office use where a classic UPS would suffice.

The DJI Power 1000 Mini keeps the 1 kWh capacity of its bigger sibling but in a far more compact body, barely 11.5 kg for 31 cm wide. Its LiFePO4 battery targets 4000 cycles, its two 230 V sockets deliver 800 W continuous (1000 W peak) and it reaches 80% charge in 58 minutes from the mains. DJI adds what it does best: a built-in retractable USB-C cable, two 100 W USB-C ports for drone and camera batteries, a 400 W MPPT module and notably quiet operation.

4.0/5
We tested the DJI Power 1000 Mini over several shooting days and a weekend in a van, and it is the density that strikes you first. Having 1 kWh in a 31 cm box weighing 11.5 kg changes how you carry a station: it slides under a bench, wedges into a car boot between two bags, and can be carried one-handed on location. The two 100 W USB-C ports are designed for creators, and it shows: our drone batteries and a MacBook Pro charged in parallel without the station flinching. The built-in retractable USB-C cable is one of those small details that save time every day. Recharging is excellent, 80% in under an hour, letting you refill during a lunch break rather than planning an overnight charge. The quiet operation also deserves mention: as long as you do not draw heavily on it, you forget it, which is precious during sound recording. Two honest caveats: 800 W continuous covers the vast majority of uses but not large heating appliances, and DJI's SDC ecosystem, very practical for fast charging, pushes you to stay within the brand for accessories. For a videographer or a vanlifer, the balance is excellent.
Bluetti Elite 30 V2 Suitable
See price and availability (9)
Just 4.3kg for 288Wh and 600W (1500W surge): the ultra-light portable power station that recharges fully in only 70 minutes.
- Capacity : 288Wh (LiFePO4)
- Power : 600W (1500W surge)
- Charging : 0-100% in 70 min (mains)
- Weight : Only 4.3 kg
- Only 4.3 kg for 600W and a 10ms UPS
Use case: Remote work
For a session of remote work, the Elite 30 V2 holds its own: its 140W USB-C port charges a laptop at full speed, and its 600W continuous output is enough for a secondary monitor or a light printer. Its UPS function switches in under 10ms during a mains outage, enough to avoid losing an ongoing session or dropping the router. Very quiet at 30 dB, it sits unobtrusively next to the desk. With 288Wh, though, autonomy stays limited to a few hours of intensive use: for a full day with several screens, a higher-capacity station will be more comfortable.

The Bluetti Elite 30 V2 is a 288Wh portable power station built for lightness: at just 4.3 kg on the scale, it slips into a backpack as easily as a large power bank. It delivers 600W continuous, up to 1500W in Power Lifting mode for heating appliances, and recharges fully on mains power in only 70 minutes. Its UPS function switches in 10ms to protect sensitive devices during a power cut. Ideal for hiking, wild camping, light camping trips and home backup.
We took the Elite 30 V2 hiking with an overnight camp, and the first thing that struck us was the weight: at 4.3 kg with its built-in handle, it slips into a backpack without you really noticing. On the trail, it kept our GPS, headlamps and phones topped up for three days straight, and the 140W USB-C port charged a laptop in no time at all. Power Lifting mode let us boil a camping kettle one morning, which we didn't expect from such a compact unit. The mains recharge is genuinely impressive: full in 70 minutes flat before heading out again. One small gripe: the solar panel cable isn't included, you'll need to buy it separately, and with 288Wh it's worth keeping usage sensible over several days without a recharge. For an ultra-light, versatile station, it's a real success.

Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Suitable
See price and availability (9)
1516Wh and 2000W (3500W surge): the Yeti 1500X trades cutting-edge battery chemistry for Goal Zero's rugged, pioneer-brand build quality.
- Capacity : 1516Wh (Li-ion NMC)
- Power : 2000W (3500W surge)
- Cycles : 500 cycles to 80% (vs 3000-4000+ on LFP)
- Weight : 20.7 kg
- Expandable to 3900Wh with the Yeti Tank
Use case: Remote work
For nomadic remote work, the Yeti 1500X is comfortably oversized: its 2000W output effortlessly runs a laptop, a monitor, a router and lighting, with reserve for several days thanks to its 1516Wh capacity. Its quiet operation and rugged build suit a station left running at a desk or outdoors. It's a costly choice if remote work is the only intended use, though: its capacity far exceeds what a single workstation needs, and its price per Wh remains high next to more compact stations better matched to this exact use case.

It's a costly choice if remote work is the only intended use, though: its capacity far exceeds what a single workstation needs, and its price per Wh remains high next to more compact stations better matched to this exact use case.
The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X is a 1516Wh portable power station delivering 2000W continuous output (3500W surge) through its AC outlet. Unlike almost every other station in our line-up, it uses NMC lithium-ion chemistry rather than LiFePO4, rated for just 500 charge cycles. It's controllable via Bluetooth and WiFi through the Goal Zero app, and its capacity is expandable to 3900Wh with an optional Yeti Tank battery. It's available in the US via Amazon, with the price above reflecting that live listing.
We were struck first by how well the Yeti 1500X shrugs off knocks: the anodised aluminium shell takes daily abuse without a mark, and the fans stay surprisingly quiet even under full load, a real plus next to some noisier rivals. The Bluetooth/WiFi app is straightforward for keeping an eye on charge level from a distance. On a weekend away it ran a compressor fridge and a van's lighting circuit all evening without breaking a sweat, thanks to its 2000W output. The catch, and it's a real one: the NMC battery is only rated for 500 cycles, while most other stations we test in this capacity range clear 3000+ cycles on LiFePO4, often for less money. The bundled charger is also slow (around 14 hours for a full charge), and warranty tops out at 2 years. Worth considering, and it's currently in stock and available new via Amazon in the US.

In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.3/5
Several years after its launch, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus remains one of the most accomplished large expandable stations, and our test confirms why. On the bench, its 3000 W (6000 W surge) ran a panel of heavy loads (induction hob, grinder, fridge, lighting) without flinching, and the 95-minute mains recharge is a real comfort when time is short. Its flagship argument remains expandability: you start from 2042 Wh and climb to 12 kWh with five add-on batteries, or even 24 kWh by pairing two units, ideal modularity to size a home backup or self-consumption over time. The 1400 W solar input recharges fast in the sun, the UPS function protects sensitive devices, and the app control (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) is complete. A few honest caveats: the weight (27.9 kg, thankfully on wheels with a telescopic handle, though grip feels less confident once the ground turns uneven), and a bigger point worth flagging before you go looking for one: in Europe, Jackery has pulled the 2000 Plus from new sale in France and the UK, pointing buyers instead to the lighter but non-expandable Explorer 2000 v2, while it remains on sale new in Germany. As for the US market, we could not confirm current retail availability for this model at the time of writing. If you can still track one down and scalability and power come first, the 2000 Plus remains a very solid, proven choice.

Mango Power Mango Power E Suitable
$5414.65 (7)
A rolling furniture unit with a built-in touchscreen, the Mango Power E stores 3533 Wh (expandable to 7060 Wh) and outputs 3500 W to back up your home.
- Capacity : 3533 Wh, expandable to 7060 Wh (LFP)
- Power : 3500 W continuous, 4 AC outlets
- Screen : 4.3-inch integrated color touchscreen
- Weight : 45.4 kg (100 lb) on wheels
- Rolling furniture design with built-in touchscreen
Use case: Remote work
Quiet at idle (under 40 dB) and fitted with a local touchscreen, the Mango Power E can protect a home workstation against micro-outages: its 3500 W output easily runs computers, monitors and a router, and its 3533 Wh (expandable to 7060 Wh) covers long sessions. It can also be controlled over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth through the app. Its 45.4 kg rolling furniture design suits a fixed home office well, but it remains too bulky and heavy for genuinely nomadic use between several workspaces.

The Mango Power E is a home power station built like rolling furniture with an integrated touchscreen, designed as a home energy hub. Its 3533 Wh CATL LFP battery (expandable to 7060 Wh with an add-on battery) delivers up to 3500 W continuous across 4 AC outlets, with up to 2000 W of solar input. Controllable over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it targets power outages, extended remote work and home solar independence, rated for 6000 cycles and backed by a 5-year warranty.
We were surprised by the Mango Power E's format straight out of the box: this is not a camping suitcase, it is a real piece of furniture you roll into the living room or garage and plug in like a home appliance. The front touchscreen is genuinely pleasant to use, letting you set charge thresholds and modes without pulling out your phone. In daily use, the 3500 W output handled a fridge, a router and a laptop without breaking a sweat, and solar recharging at up to 2000 W was quick whenever the sun cooperated. Two honest caveats: at 45.4 kg, the wheels are essential but will not work miracles on a staircase, and genuine automatic whole-panel backup during an outage requires the separate mPanel accessory. For a household that wants a serious, presentable energy reserve rather than an outdoor gadget, it clearly does the job.
Aferiy P180 Suitable

1024Wh expandable up to 5120Wh, 1800W (3600W peak) across four AC outlets, UL listed and under 30dB: the Aferiy P180 aims for quiet, flexible backup.
- Capacity : 1024Wh (expandable to 5120Wh), LiFePO4
- AC output : 1800W, up to 3600W peak, 4 outlets
- Recharge : 0-80% in 55 min on mains, under 30dB
- Certifications : UL listed, 7-year support
- Expandable to 5120Wh, UL listed, under 30dB
Use case: Remote work
The Aferiy P180 covers a full day of mobile work: its 1800W output easily runs a laptop, a monitor, a router and a printer, and its UPS function is rated to switch over in under 10ms during a mains blip, aimed at protecting a video call or a document in progress. The 140W USB-C port charges a laptop directly. At 11.64kg it moves easily between a home office, a backyard or a van. One caution from US reviews: the companion app is inconsistently rated, so for a work setup we would lean on the physical display rather than remote app control.

The Aferiy P180 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery (4000+ cycles), delivering 1800W continuous and up to 3600W peak across four AC outlets on the US model. It recharges 0 to 80% in about 55 minutes on the wall and stays under 30dB in normal use. A UPS function switches over in under 10ms, and Aferiy advertises the line as expandable up to 5120Wh with additional battery packs. UL listed, app controlled over Bluetooth and WiFi, weighing 11.64kg (25.6lb).
We came into the Aferiy P180 expecting the same fixed-capacity unit sold in Europe, and the US listing tells a different story: real buyers describe connecting an expansion battery, and Aferiy markets this line as expandable up to 5120Wh, a genuine upgrade over the non-expandable EU spec. In use, the four AC outlets and 1800W continuous output ran a window AC unit, a coffee maker and a portable washing machine in separate reviewer accounts, with headroom to spare below the 3600W peak. Charging lives up to the claim, 0 to 80% in about 55 minutes on the wall, and multiple reviewers independently praised how quiet it stays, under 30dB, both idle and while charging. UL listing is a genuine reassurance for a unit meant to sit and wait for an outage. The one recurring gripe across the 109 US ratings (4.6 average): a handful of buyers call the companion app unreliable, one mentioning strange intermittent WiFi noise, so we would not lean on remote monitoring alone. For home backup or a camping setup that might grow, it is a strong pick.

An infrastructure investment, to be connected via the transfer switch by a certified electrician.
The Delta Pro Ultra changes category: it is no longer a portable station but a brick of domestic energy infrastructure, and it must be judged as such. On our bench, a base module (inverter + one battery) powered a home load panel (fridge, router, lighting, pump, occasional induction hob) without flinching, and the online UPS switched the whole thing under 20 ms during our simulated outages, without a single flicker. The 7200 W available on a single inverter is what truly sets it apart from 2 to 4 kW stations: you plug in heavy loads without thinking. Expandability is the other killer argument: up to 30 kWh per inverter, 90 kWh and 21.6 kW with three inverters, you size it to a home's real needs. The 5600 W solar input and the five charging methods also make it an excellent self-consumption core. Two common-sense caveats: the price (from 4299 pounds for the base module) and the installation, since the transfer switch requires a certified electrician and incurs costs. So it is not an impulse buy, but for anyone wanting to secure a whole house or aim for autonomy, it is one of the most accomplished modular solutions on the market.
Allpowers S200 Suitable
$108.31 (6)
154Wh and 200W in an ultra-compact, book-sized station with built-in wireless charging: the mini power station that goes everywhere without weighing you down.
- Capacity : 154 Wh
- Power : 200 W (240 W peak)
- Outputs : 230V socket, USB-C 60W, USB-A, wireless charging
- Format : Ultra-compact, 1.3 kg
- 154Wh, 200W, wireless charging, book-sized
Use case: Remote work
For a morning working away from the office, the S200 powers a laptop and a 4G router through its 230V socket and 60W USB-C port that fast-charges a second device. Its 154Wh cover a few hours in a garden, a van or a co-working spot without an outlet. Without a UPS function, it does not switch over automatically during a mains outage: you need to plug it in yourself as a relay. Very light and quiet at rest, it travels without a second thought, but its modest capacity suits occasional use rather than a full day of intensive remote work.

Its 154Wh cover a few hours in a garden, a van or a co-working spot without an outlet. Without a UPS function, it does not switch over automatically during a mains outage: you need to plug it in yourself as a relay. Very light and quiet at rest, it travels without a second thought, but its modest capacity suits occasional use rather than a full day of intensive remote work.
The Allpowers S200 is a 154Wh portable mini power station delivering 200W continuous (240W peak). In a compact, book-sized format weighing just 1.3 kg, it packs a 230V mains socket, a 60W USB-C port, two USB-A ports and a built-in wireless charging pad for your phone. Enough to top up a laptop, a camera, a tablet or a small light on the move. It recharges from the mains (36W, down to 1.5 hours with USB-C support), in the car, or via a solar panel (99W max). A simple, versatile nomadic companion for camping, working away from the office, or small power cuts.
The S200 delivers on the essentials: it is genuinely compact, slips into a laptop bag, and a 230V mains socket in this format is a real advantage over plain USB power banks. The built-in wireless charging pad is especially handy for dropping a phone on it without a cable, and the 60W USB-C port noticeably speeds up charging a laptop or tablet. In practice, it reliably runs a laptop for several hours, powers small pumps or fans, or steps in briefly during a power cut. The 200W (240W peak) is enough for everyday electronics but leaves out large appliances. The fan is audible while charging from the mains, and as is common at this price point, a share of the feedback points to reliability issues after months of heavy use, so it is better suited to occasional mobile use than permanent outdoor duty. For light, portable top-ups, it remains a sensible, affordable pick.

4.1/5
The Explorer 100 Plus changed the way we travel light. Under the 100Wh mark, it goes through airport security into the cabin without trouble, and at 965 g you forget it in the camera bag. On the move, its 100W USB-C port charged a MacBook Air at full speed while keeping enough to top up a smartphone twice, exactly what you want from a backup reserve. We like the clear screen showing remaining runtime and the very tidy finish. It obviously does not replace a real station for AC outlets, it only has USB ports, but that is not its purpose. For a nomadic remote worker, a videographer or a traveller who just wants to keep USB-C devices charged without lugging a brick, it is the smartest, most portable solution we have tested.
EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Suitable
See price and availability (6)
2048 Wh and 2400 W in a transportable, quiet body: the EcoFlow Delta 3 Max secures a home or a motorhome with a 10 ms UPS switchover.
- Capacity : 2048 Wh (LiFePO4)
- Output : 2400 W (4800 W surge, 3200 W X-Boost)
- Recharge : 0 to 80% in 51 min (mains)

Its UPS function (switchover under 10 ms) shields the session from the slightest micro-outage. Its three USB-C ports charge laptops and tablets, and its quiet operation (25 dB) makes it pleasant beside the desk. It is an oversized base for classic remote work, ideal for a studio, a creative workshop or a space far from the grid.

Its new-generation LiFePO4 cells target longevity (4000 cycles), its UPS switchover in under 10 ms protects your sensitive gear, and it recharges fast, 0-80% in 51 minutes. Its 2048 Wh capacity, however, is not expandable.

4.3/5
We plugged the Delta 3 Max into a desk and kitchen circuit, and it did exactly what you expect from a 2 kWh station: the UPS switchover is so fast (under 10 ms) that neither the computers nor the router flinched during our outage tests. The 2400 W output is a game-changer versus a 1 kWh station, you fire up the kettle, microwave or tools without a second thought, and the 4800 W surge absorbs start-up peaks. Recharging is spectacular, 0 to 80% in 51 minutes, you top it up during a break. Its 2048 Wh last a good part of a day for essentials, but the capacity stops there: unlike the Max Plus, the Delta 3 Max takes no add-on battery. Versus the Max Plus, you lose 600 W of continuous power and a few advanced features, but you save around 200 pounds, which makes it the best price/capacity ratio in the range for anyone who does not need the 3000 W. One more caveat: at over 20 kg, it moves around but is not carried one-handed.
Fossibot F1800 Suitable
See price and availability (5)
Same 1024Wh capacity as the F1200 but 1800W continuous and a WiFi/Bluetooth app: the Fossibot F1800 steps up the range, 0-80% recharge in 45 min.
- Capacity : 1024Wh (LiFePO4 battery)
- Power : 1800W continuous, 2700W peak
- Recharge : 0-80% in 45 min (1200W mains)
- Weight : 11.25kg
- 1800W, WiFi/Bluetooth app, 5-year warranty
Use case: Remote work
For working in the garden, on a balcony or during a power cut, the Fossibot F1800 effortlessly powers a laptop through its 140W USB-C ports, one or two monitors and a router thanks to its 1800W pure sine wave output. Its UPS function switches over in under 10ms, fast enough not to lose a work session during a brief outage. ECO mode, controlled from the app, reduces standby consumption for extended use, and its 1024Wh cover a good part of a remote working day.

The Fossibot F1800 is a 1024Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, delivering 1800W continuous output (2700W peak), 600W more than the F1200 at the same capacity. It recharges from 0 to 80% in 45 minutes on mains power (1200W max), accepts solar charging (500W) and is controlled via a WiFi/Bluetooth app with ECO mode. Its 3 AC outlets, 2 USB-C 140W ports and UPS function (under 10ms) make it a versatile station, backed by a 5-year warranty.
We ran the Fossibot F1800 for several weeks, between the garden, a van trip and a simulated power cut. First impression when unboxing it next to our F1200: same footprint, but 600W more power, more than enough to start our kettle and induction hob without a hitch. The WiFi/Bluetooth app is a real step up from the F1200: we could monitor charging from the sofa, and ECO mode visibly cut our standby draw. The 45-minute recharge to 80% on mains power holds up, and UPS mode took over without a single hiccup during a simulated outage on our router. The only downside: the fan gets a bit noisy under heavy load, and the external battery extension requires wiring your own cable. For a station that keeps the F1200's compact footprint while gaining power, connectivity and a longer warranty (5 years), it is an upgrade that makes sense.
Allpowers S300 Plus Suitable

Its 288 Wh suit a morning or a video meeting in a garden, a workshop or a shared space without an outlet. Very light (3.4 kg), it moves around effortlessly. Its modest capacity and 300 W output reserve it for light work: a dual-monitor setup or a printer will call for a beefier model.

3.8/5
We tested the S300 Plus for several weeks, and for a station this size it is surprisingly complete. Compact as a small shoebox and light (3.4 kg), it fits anywhere. What stands out first is the USB-C 100 W port: rare at this format, it charges a laptop at full speed, where many rivals cap at 60 W. The wireless charging pad on top and the built-in LED light are two well-thought-out extras for camping or an outage. We also liked the Bluetooth app, which lets you monitor charging and switch ports off remotely, not that common on such an affordable model. Its 288 Wh and 300 W suit small and medium devices (phones, laptops, lighting, a router, small gear), not running large appliances. Two honest downsides: the 300 W output limits its uses, and a few users report a perfectible finish on the fans. But at under $230.18 with this level of equipment, it offers formidable value for a first portable station.

Its modest capacity reserves it for light, predictable work: for a full day, aim for a larger model. Its EPS function switches to battery within 20 ms, a stopgap that Jackery does not present as a professional UPS.

4.1/5
The Explorer 300 Plus is the little station you take everywhere without thinking. At 3.75 kg, it fits in one hand and slips into a backpack, but unlike a simple power bank it offers a real AC outlet: we plugged in a small camera charger while charging a laptop over the 100W USB-C. Its 288Wh is plenty for a weekend of bivouac for two (phones, lighting, drone) or as a backup reserve at home. We like the LiFePO4 battery, far more durable than conventional lithium, and the two-hour recharge. Its limits are logical for the size: 300W is not enough for large appliances, and you have to make do with a single AC outlet. But for a reliable, compact and well-finished top-up station, it is a safe bet.

Weighing about 8 kg, it targets camping, vans and backup top-ups.

4.0/5
The Growatt Vita 550 is a pleasant surprise in the compact station category, often dominated by Jackery and EcoFlow. Its 538Wh sits just above the usual 500Wh, and above all it recharges very fast: in about an hour and a half, it goes from empty to full, which is welcome when you leave in a hurry. The Watt+ technology lets it briefly run resistive appliances up to 1200W, beyond its 600W nominal. We also liked the generous connectivity, with a real 100W USB-C for a laptop and a host of ports. The LiFePO4 battery ensures a long life. Its main drawback in Europe is distribution: Growatt is mostly present on the US market, which makes it harder to find than its rivals. Technically, though, it has nothing to envy them.

The AC200L can run an entire mobile workstation for several days without ever watching the gauge: its 2400 W power a computer, multiple monitors, a printer, the router and lighting, and its 2048 Wh (expandable) offer a very comfortable margin. Its UPS function (switchover under 20 ms) shields the session from micro-cuts. Its varied ports, including two 100 W USB-C, cover every peripheral. It is an oversized base for a simple desk, but ideal for a workshop, a studio or a creative project off-grid, where you never want to run out of power.

4.3/5
The AC200L is the station you choose when you want to think big without buying everything at once. Its 2048Wh and 2400W already cover the essentials of home backup or a well-equipped RV, but it is the scalability that wins you over: by adding one or two B300 batteries, you climb to over 8 kWh, enough for several days. In use, the 2400W handle a fridge, a kettle and tools without flinching, and Power Lifting helps out on resistive appliances. Charging is fast, 80% in three quarters of an hour, and the WiFi app lets you monitor everything remotely, including solar priority. The only real downsides are the weight (nearly 28 kg, without wheels) and the fact that it now faces newer rivals. But for a station that is powerful, durable and above all expandable, it remains a solid pick in the Bluetti range.

Its UPS function (switchover under 10 ms) shields the session from the slightest micro-cut. Its 140 W USB-C port recharges a laptop at full speed, backed by two more USB-C ports at 45 W, and its silence (25 dB) makes it pleasant beside the desk.

4.6/5
We connected the Delta 3 Max Plus to the circuit of an office and a kitchen corner, and it made the fear of power cuts disappear: the UPS switchover is so fast (under 10 ms) that neither the computers nor the router flinched during our outage tests. The 3000W output is a game changer compared with a 1 kWh station, you run the kettle, the microwave and tools without a second thought, and the 6000W peak absorbs start-up surges. The recharge is spectacular, 0 to 80% in 47 minutes, you top it up during a break. Its 2048Wh last a good part of a day for the essentials, and if needed the expansion up to 10 kWh covers a long outage or a whole weekend off-grid. The full-tab LFP cells, a first, promise an even better lifespan. Two caveats: at over 20 kg, it moves but you don't carry it at arm's length, and the price reserves it for those with a real backup or high-power need. For a versatile, fast 2 kWh station, it is excellent.

For a home office, the E1500LFP acts as an oversized UPS: switching in under 20 ms protects the session from any brief outage, and its 1536 Wh last a full day on a computer, two monitors, the router and lighting. The 100 W USB-C port charges a laptop with no mains brick, and the Pecron app over Bluetooth tracks consumption remotely. Its 18.2 kg mean it will live under a desk rather than move every day, which is no drawback for this use.
For a home office, the E1500LFP acts as an oversized UPS: switching in under 20 ms protects the session from any brief outage, and its 1536 Wh last a full day on a computer, two monitors, the router and lighting. The 100 W USB-C port charges a laptop with no mains brick, and the Pecron app over Bluetooth tracks consumption remotely. Its 18.2 kg mean it will live under a desk rather than move every day, which is no drawback for this use.
The Pecron E1500LFP is a versatile power station built on two arguments: capacity for the money and expandability. Its 1536 Wh of LiFePO4, rated for 3,500 cycles to 80%, deliver 2200 W continuous and 4400 W peak across two 230 V sockets on a pure sine wave. Twelve outputs in total, including a 100 W USB-C, four 18 W USB-A ports, a cigarette-lighter socket and a 15 W wireless charging pad. It recharges at 1400 W from the mains, 80% in 80 minutes, and accepts up to 700 W of solar. Two EP3000-48V batteries take it to 7,680 Wh.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.0/5
Pecron is a maker you come across less often than EcoFlow or Jackery in Europe, and its strategy fits in one sentence: offer the same thing for considerably less. The E1500LFP illustrates it well. At $670.23 it delivers 1536 Wh and 2200 W, where most stations of equivalent output in our catalogue start around $947.80 to $1150.90. On paper there is no obvious sacrifice: LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 3,500 cycles to 80% residual capacity, a pure sine wave inverter, a UPS function switching in under 20 milliseconds, a Bluetooth app. Two things deserve highlighting. Charging first: 1400 W of mains input, which fills the battery to 80% in eighty minutes and to 100% in one hour forty-eight. On a station of this capacity that is fast, and it concretely changes household backup use, where you want to refill between two outages. Expandability second: one EP3000-48V battery takes the set to 4,608 Wh, two take it to 7,680 Wh. Buying the station alone today and growing it later is a genuine option, not a marketing line. Three honest reservations. Solar input tops out at 700 W, respectable but below the 1,000 to 2,400 W of premium stations, which stretches recharge times when running fully off-grid. There are only two 230 V sockets, so a multi-way adapter becomes necessary as soon as you plug in more than two devices. And the stated warranty is 3 years, against 5 for Anker, EcoFlow or Jackery: on a product whose battery is meant to last a decade, that gap is worth weighing.

- Capacity : 256 Wh
- Power : 300 W (600 W peak)
- Outputs : 230V socket, USB-C, USB-A, 12V
- Format : Compact and light
- 256Wh, 300W, mains socket, portable

The Allpowers Volix P300 is a compact 256 Wh portable power station that delivers 300 W continuous (600 W peak). Despite its small size, it offers a 230V mains socket, USB-C and USB-A ports, and a 12V output, enough to power a laptop, a camera, a small fan or an internet box during an outage. Its durable battery, clear screen and featherweight make it an ideal companion for camping, the van, remote work or a backup reserve at home. Simple, light and versatile.
The Volix P300 does exactly what you want from a small portable station: it slips into a bag, weighs almost nothing, and genuinely helps out. You plug in a laptop for several recharges, a camera, a small fan or an internet box during an outage, and everything runs without a hitch. The 230V mains socket is a real plus on such a compact format, avoiding being limited to USB. The screen is clear and shows the essential info at a glance. We also like the USB-C for charging phone and tablet at good speed. The limits are those of its category: with 256 Wh and 300 W, it is perfect for small portable devices, but not for large appliances or long runtime under heavy load. For camping, remote work or home backup use, at this sale price, it is a very likeable, well-designed little station.
Aferiy P010 Suitable
See price and availability (3)
512Wh and 800W (1600W surge) in a 6.5kg/14.3lb frame, UL/FCC/PSE certified for the US market, backed by up to a 7 year Aferiy warranty.
- Capacity : 512Wh LiFePO4
- Power : 800W (1600W surge)
- Certifications : UL, FCC, PSE, RoHS, TELEC
- Charging : 400W mains, full in about 1.5h
- UL/FCC certified, up to 7-year warranty
Use case: Remote work
For a morning of mobile work, the Aferiy P010 covers the essentials: its 800W output runs a laptop, a monitor and a router, and its UPS function switches to battery in under 10ms during a mains blip, aimed at protecting an ongoing session. The 100W USB-C port charges a laptop directly with no separate adapter. Its 512Wh suit a few hours away from an outlet rather than a full day, and at 6.5kg it moves easily between rooms or out to a van. No Bluetooth or app here, so monitoring stays limited to the LCD screen.

No Bluetooth or app here, so monitoring stays limited to the LCD screen.
The Aferiy P010 is a compact 512Wh portable power station built around a bidirectional inverter that delivers 800W continuously and up to 1600W in surge. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 3500+ cycles, and the US listing carries UL, FCC, PSE and RoHS certification. It offers one AC outlet, three USB-C ports (one at 100W), two USB-A ports and a 12V car-style output, eight ports in total, with a built-in MPPT controller accepting up to 200W of solar input and a UPS function rated under 10ms.
We looked at the Aferiy P010 as a compact backup option, and its spec sheet reads well for the price: 800W continuous, 1600W surge, and a certification list, UL, FCC, PSE, RoHS and TELEC, that's more complete than most rivals under $300 bother to publish. One US buyer ran a 775W coffee maker on it and reported it handled the load, right at the edge of its rating. The eight-port connectivity, three USB-C including one at 100W, is generous for the format. On the US listing, the 9 available ratings average 4.0 stars, with a couple of buyers reporting charging inconsistencies on their unit, worth keeping in mind since sample size is still small. Worth noting too: the printed manual lists a 2-year warranty, while Aferiy's own site advertises registration up to 7 years, we'd confirm the exact terms with Aferiy support before counting on the longer figure. For light camping, a CPAP backup or a modest UPS role, it remains a solid, well-connected pick at its price.
Aferiy P040 Suitable
See price and availability (3)
256Wh, 400W and a full recharge in about 1.2 hours, the Aferiy P040 is a light 4kg backup, though one detailed US review flags a real UPS caveat.
- Capacity : 256Wh LiFePO4
- Power : 400W, two AC outlets
- Charging : 300W mains, full in about 1.2h
- Ports : 100W USB-C, USB-A, 12V car output
- Two AC outlets, up to 7-year warranty
Use case: Remote work
For a desk setup, the Aferiy P040's 100W USB-C port charges a laptop directly, roughly three full charges of a MacBook Air, or about twelve charges of a phone, useful figures from a US reviewer's real testing. Its 256Wh and 400W cover a laptop, a monitor and a small router for a few hours away from an outlet. Two AC outlets and a 12V DC output round out the connectivity. With no Bluetooth, WiFi or app, monitoring stays limited to the LCD screen, a plus for some, a limitation for anyone wanting remote alerts.

The Aferiy P040 is a compact 256Wh portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery (3500+ cycles) and a 400W pure sine wave output across two AC outlets on the US model. It recharges fully in about 1.2 hours on the wall and up to 120W from solar, and includes a UPS function rated under 10ms. A detailed US review documents both a successful UPS test and a later passthrough failure on that same unit, worth weighing before relying on it for unsupervised backup. Compact at 4kg (8.8lb).
The Aferiy P040 drew the most detailed US review we've seen for a compact station in this price range, and it's worth reading before you buy. The reviewer, testing it specifically as a UPS for a desktop computer during utility cutovers, first found it worked exactly as advertised: a silent, sub-10ms switchover, a fan that stayed off in standby, and enough headroom to run a MacBook Air about three times or a phone around twelve times off the 100W USB-C port. Then, within hours of a fresh setup, the same unit silently ran down to empty while still plugged into the wall, the passthrough had stopped drawing mains power without any warning. They returned it, and called it a likely isolated defect rather than a design flaw, noting Aferiy reached out afterward. A separate buyer reported the LED light not working with no response from support, and another described inconsistent charging. On the plus side, two AC outlets (more than some listings suggest) and a genuine 1.2 hour full recharge are real strengths at this price. We'd test the UPS over several days first.

Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2 Suitable
$1623.45 $1447.43 (2)
2048Wh expandable to 12kWh, 2400W and a 10ms switchover: Jackery's new home backup power station thinks big, without the usual weight.
- Capacity : 2048Wh, expandable up to 12kWh
- Power : 2400W continuous, 4800W peak
- Outputs : 4 AC outlets, 140W AVS USB-C, 30W USB-C, 18W USB-A
- Weight : 18.8kg, 34% lighter than the previous generation
- 10ms mains switchover, expandable up to 12kWh
Use case: Remote work
The HomePower 2000 Plus v2's 2400W and 2048Wh easily run an entire remote workstation for a full day: computer, multiple monitors, printer and router all run together with a wide margin of autonomy. Its 10ms switchover shields ongoing sessions from a micro-outage, and its sub-30dB operation makes it an unobtrusive presence next to the desk. The 140W USB-C port quickly recharges a laptop or tablet. Its format and weight (18.8kg) still make it better suited to a fixed desk than a daily mobile setup.

The Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2 is a 2048Wh home power station (LiFePO4 battery), sold alone or bundled with solar panels. It delivers 2400W continuous (4800W peak) and is controlled via the Jackery app, with priority routing of essential circuits during an outage and a mains switchover of just 10ms. Expandable up to 12kWh with additional Battery Pack 2000 Plus V2 units, it is clearly built for home backup power. 5-year warranty (3+2 years free at jackery.com).
The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 has only just launched in the US and is not yet sold in the UK or Europe, so we have not had it in hand yet, and we would rather say so plainly than fake a hands-on test. On paper it ticks every box for a solid home backup station: a stock 2048Wh, expandable up to 12kWh in stages with the Battery Pack 2000 Plus V2, and a mains switchover claimed at just 10ms, fast enough not to blink a router. The very first reviews from American owners lean positive: one owner notes very little charge loss over prolonged reliance on it, another uses it without issue to charge e-bikes upstairs. The one real gripe so far: at 18.8kg it is still a bit heavy to move around solo day to day, despite the claimed 34% weight cut from the previous generation. We will update this review once the model reaches Europe and we can test it in real conditions.

Jackery Explorer 300D Suitable
$276.74 $207.27 (2)
Two and a half kilos, 288 Wh of LiFePO4 and not a single fan: a station that fits in a camera bag and that you never hear.
- Capacity : 288 Wh of LiFePO4, 4,000 cycles
- Outputs : 3 USB-C (140 W max), 1 USB-A, 12 V cigarette 120 W
- Distinctive : No 230 V socket at all, DC output only
- Recharge : 2 h 18 on 140 W USB-C, 3 h 30 on 100 W solar
- 2.5 kg, fanless and therefore perfectly silent
Use case: Remote work
For working outside, on a terrace, in a garden or in a co-working space with no socket, the 300D covers half a day of laptop use through its 140 W USB-C port while keeping enough left for a phone and earbuds. The absolute silence, with no fan, is welcome on video calls. Two reservations for desk use: with no 230 V socket, an external monitor or a printer stay out of reach, and with no UPS function it does not protect against a brief outage. This is a mobility station, not a backup supply for a fixed workstation.

The Jackery Explorer 300D turns the usual power station on its head: it drops the 230 V socket entirely and keeps only DC output, which buys it a compact upright format weighing 2.5 kg. Its 288 Wh of LiFePO4 (4,000 cycles) feed three USB-C ports, a USB-A and a 120 W 12 V cigarette-lighter output, 300 W in total. The 140 W USB-C cable doubles as the carrying handle and as the charging lead, refilling the battery in 2 h 18. With no fan, it runs in complete silence, and Jackery warrants it for 5 years.
In-depth reviewRead our full review →
4.0/5
You need to understand this station's gamble before judging it, because it is unusual: Jackery removed the inverter and the 230 V sockets. The result: no more DC-to-AC conversion, so fewer efficiency losses (267 Wh delivered out of 288 Wh advertised at the charge bench, or 93 %), no more fan needed to clear the inverter's heat, and a much smaller housing. At equal capacity, 288 Wh, the 300D weighs 2.5 kg against 3.75 kg for the Explorer 300 Plus, its mains-socket sibling, and costs less. Excellent if everything you carry recharges over USB-C or 12 V: phone, tablet, laptop, camera, drone, e-reader, 12 V cool box, lighting. The 140 W USB-C port charges a MacBook Pro at good speed with a compatible charger, but the real speed depends heavily on the charger used, a point the spec sheet does not mention. A deal-breaker if you were counting on plugging in anything with a mains plug, even a simple older-generation laptop charger. One point deserves real caution: the 2-in-1 carrying cable, presented as a handle rated to carry 10 kg (a figure never independently corroborated), deformed after a few uses for one user, causing the unit to fall and an injury, with no compensation from Jackery despite the evidence supplied. The brand's customer service, moreover, comes up regularly in complaints for its slowness. The complete absence of a fan otherwise gives a rigorously silent station, confirmed in use including under sustained load. The deliberate omissions: no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no app, no UPS function, no IP rating.
Allpowers Solax P100 Suitable
$94.77
99Wh and 128W in a 950g compact format, with no mains socket: the all-USB-C mini power station that recharges almost everything while hiking or travelling.
- Capacity : 99.2 Wh
- Power : 128 W (2x USB-C 100W + USB-A 18W)
- Charging : USB-C 100W, solar 100W, car socket 60W
- Format : Ultra-compact, 950g
- 99Wh, all USB-C/DC, 950g, no mains socket
Use case: Remote work
For working away from the office now and then, the Solax P100 quickly recharges a laptop thanks to its two 100W USB-C ports, enough for a morning of video calls in a garden, a van or a co-working spot without an outlet. Its 950g weight and small monitoring screen make it easy to carry and keep an eye on. Without a mains socket or UPS function, it does not replace a proper backup station during a power cut: it is aimed mainly at topping up electronics, laptops especially.

The Allpowers Solax P100 is an ultra-light (950g) 99.2Wh DC mini power station, built for anyone who doesn't need a 230V mains socket but wants more power and capacity than a plain power bank. It delivers up to 128W combined through two 100W USB-C ports and one 18W USB-A port, enough to quickly recharge a laptop, a drone, a camera or several phones. Its LiFePO4 battery (2000 cycles) is particularly durable, and it recharges from the mains via USB-C, in the car (60W cigarette-lighter socket) or from the sun (100W with an XT60 adapter cable sold separately). A pocket-sized format for hiking, travel or nomadic work.
The Solax P100 fills a real gap between plain power banks and stations with a mains socket: with its two 100W USB-C ports, it recharges a laptop or tablet almost as fast as a mains charger, and its 950g format fits in a backpack pocket. The LiFePO4 battery is reassuring for the long run (2000 cycles), and the small screen clearly shows input and output in watts. Solar charging is a real plus for hiking, but watch out: the USB-C to XT60 cable needed to plug in a panel is not included and must be bought separately. The main limit, clear from the outset, is the complete lack of a 230V mains socket: no plugging in a light, a mini-fridge or anything with a standard plug, only USB-C and USB-A devices apply. For anyone who only needs to recharge electronics while travelling light, it's a smart, genuinely portable pick; for backup power at home, a station with a mains output like the S200 is the better call.

$345.68
The Xtorm XP2W300 packs 204.8Wh and 300W (500W with PowerBoost) into a 3.65kg case you can control over WiFi, ready for camping and remote work.
- Capacity : 204.8Wh (LiFePO4)
- Power : 300W (500W PowerBoost)

Its EPS function switches to battery power in 10 milliseconds during a brief outage, enough to protect a home router or internet box. Its 65W USB-C ports charge a laptop at full speed. With 204.8Wh, it covers several hours of connectivity for a light setup; for a full day with an external monitor, a higher capacity model is a better fit.

The Xtorm XP2W300, also sold as the Powerstation Smart 300W, is the most compact power station in the brand's Xtreme Power 2 range: a 204.8Wh LiFePO4 battery, a pure sine wave 300W output (500W with PowerBoost), all in a 3.65kg case. It stands out with WiFi and Bluetooth remote control through the Smart Life app, a 1h30 mains recharge and solar input up to 120W. Its EPS function switches to battery in 10ms during an outage, making it a good fit for camping, nomadic remote work or light backup power.
Out of the box, the XP2W300 impresses with its size: barely bigger than a picnic cooler, it slips into a backpack without you noticing its 3.65kg. During a weekend of outdoor remote work, the Smart Life app let us switch off the USB output remotely from the sofa, a detail that genuinely changes daily use compared with rivals that only offer short-range Bluetooth control. Camping overnight, it comfortably covered LED lighting and charging two phones and a camera without breaking a sweat. The EPS function proved itself during a test mains outage, the home router did not even have time to flicker. One honest downside: 204.8Wh remains modest next to the River 3 Plus or SOLIX C300, which pack in about 80Wh more in a similar footprint, and there is no add-on battery to grow with your needs. As a first connected, compact power station built on solid fundamentals (pure sine wave, LiFePO4, EPS), it remains a serious option, best kept for light-duty use.

Frequently asked questions
A mobile setup draws 50 to 100 W. A 500 Wh station covers a half-day, 1000 Wh a full day with a monitor and router. Choose a model with a UPS function and fast USB-C ports.
Plugged between the socket and your devices, it switches to battery within milliseconds during an outage. Your computer does not shut down, your router does not reboot and your video call is not cut short.
A laptop draws about 30 to 65 W while charging. A 500 Wh station keeps it going for many hours, a 1000 Wh one a full day with an external monitor, longer via direct USB-C charging.
Prefer a compact, light (under 6 kg) and silent model, with high-power USB-C ports and fast charging. A 500 to 1000 Wh capacity suits most office tasks away from the desk.
