Although portable power station and uninterruptible power supply are both types of energy storage power supply, the scenarios and batteries used by the two are very different. Let's take a look at the differences between uninterruptible power supply and portable power station.
The difference between uninterruptible power supply and portable power station
First, the batteries of the two
Uninterruptible power supply: UPS power supply is a power supply device that connects batteries (mostly lead-acid maintenance-free batteries) to the host, and converts DC power into commercial power through module circuits such as the host inverter.
Portable power station: It is a personal portable and mobile energy storage power supply that can be stored by itself. It is a power supply device that connects batteries (mainly ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries) to power interfaces, and converts direct current into mains power through inverters and other module circuits.
Second, the use of both
Uninterruptible power supply: A power supply used to provide stable and uninterrupted power for a single device. Such as elevators, computers, servers, etc.
Portable power station: Portable energy storage power supply for notebooks, mobile phones, outdoor work, outdoor camping and other electronic products and low-power equipment, especially for application scenarios without external power supply.
Third, the principles of both
Uninterruptible power supply: The uninterruptible power supply stabilizes commercial power and provides it to the load. At this time, the UPS is an AC voltage stabilizer, charging the internal battery; when the mains power is interrupted (emergency power failure), the UPS immediately switches through the inverter to provide 220 volts of AC power from the battery to the load to keep the load working normally and protect the load. Hardware and software are not damaged.
portable power station: A battery for electric energy storage and a circuit for stabilizing the output voltage (DC-DC converter). Most portable power stations come with a charger or solar power that charges the power supply's built-in cells.
