To buy a portable power station, just pay attention to the following points to ensure that you can avoid 99% of pitfalls!
1. Security
No matter when and where, safety is always the first, after all, no one wants to let the beautiful things become troublesome. The safety of the portable power station is mainly related to the material of the built-in battery, the quality of the current and the protection measures of the battery.
①Battery material:
At present, the materials of portable power station batteries on the market are generally divided into three types: lithium iron phosphate battery, ternary lithium battery, and polymer lithium battery. The specific advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
On the whole, it is best to choose lithium iron phosphate batteries with higher safety. These batteries have passed the acupuncture test, and they will not catch fire and explode even in extreme cases.
② Current quality
At present, most portable power stations on the market are equipped with sine wave inverters, which are used to convert direct current into alternating current. However, ordinary inverters are unstable and there is a risk of damage to electrical appliances. Only a pure sine inverter can provide the purest AC power without causing damage to electrical appliances. It is recommended that you try to choose products equipped with pure sine inverters when purchasing.
③Battery protection
In addition, it depends on whether there are battery protection functions, such as overcharge protection, overload protection, overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, low voltage protection, short circuit protection, temperature protection, etc. The more comprehensive the better.
2. Look at the power
One of the core performances of the portable power station is power, because the portable power station only charges electrical appliances with a lower power than itself, so the higher the power, the more electronic devices that can be powered, and the more abundant outdoor camping activities.
3. Look at the battery capacity
The battery capacity of a portable power station determines its battery life. If the capacity is too small, repeated charging is troublesome, but if the capacity is too large, it is inconvenient to carry. Generally speaking, it meets the charging needs of digital products, projectors, and car refrigerators. 300Wh is enough It is enough. If there are many high-power appliances such as electric ovens and rice cookers, it is recommended to use more than 500Wh.
4. Look at the output port type & quantity
Before buying, you must also be optimistic about the type and quantity of ports. The more types and quantities, the more charging devices that can be satisfied at the same time, and the better the camping experience. Usually, there are four interfaces that are necessary: USB-A, Type-C, and AC output and DC interface. The more others, the better.
