Which is practical, portable battery power station or generator?
Professionals suggest to buy portable battery power station directly.
First of all, the cost of fuel generators is high. As oil prices continue to rise, the cost of electricity for fuel-fired generators is also rising. Assuming an average kilowatt-hour of fuel consumption of 0.5 liters, it is equivalent to about 4 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, which is obviously several times higher than that of city electricity. The portable battery power station is an energy storage product, which stores the mains electricity for inverter output when needed, and provides power support for digital products and electrical appliances, so the overall electricity cost is far lower than that of generators.
Second, the generator is noisy. Once the generator is turned on, the sound from 7 meters away is about 70 decibels, which is equivalent to walking in the downtown area, making people upset, especially in the dead of night, no matter how strong the psychological quality is, it can't stand it. The portable battery power station does not need to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, and basically does not generate other noises except for the sound generated by the operation of the cooling fan. At the same time, the sound of the cooling fan can basically be ignored!
Third, generators are not environmentally friendly. The generator itself generates electricity by burning gasoline, and it is equipped with a fuel tank. Even if it is sealed well, it will still smell of gasoline when it is placed in the car. Especially during work, the smell of gasoline due to insufficient combustion is even more difficult. accept. The portable battery power station is a clean energy that uses battery energy storage, which is more green and environmentally friendly!
Fourth, the portability of the generator is poor. The basic weight of a small and medium-sized generator is about 80kg, and even a micro generator is about 25kg. Not to mention the size, the items that need to be carried for self-driving camping are limited, if you carry a generator and other items, you must make sacrifices. The portable battery power station has different volume and weight according to different capacity. Some can be put into a backpack, some can be taken on a plane, and some can be placed in a car, which can be applied to different groups of people and different usage scenarios. So portable battery power station has now become the best choice for self-driving camping electricity.
How to choose a portable battery power station for self-driving tour
How to choose mainly depends on what kind of electrical appliances you will use when traveling by car, and choose the most suitable one according to your specific use. Here are some reference materials, I hope it will help you:
1. Look at the strength. If you go out for a self-driving tour, you only need to charge some digital devices, such as laptops, digital cameras, gpros, drones, ipads, mobile phones, etc., and a 500w power supply is completely sufficient. In addition, 500w can also carry some light electrical appliances for you, such as electric fans, car refrigerators, rice cookers below 1.6L, ventilation fans, etc. For electric grills and hot water pots, it is recommended to purchase a portable battery power station with a power of more than 1000w.
2. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the battery life.
3. Look at the output port. AC port: supports most electrical appliances such as sockets. usb port: support mobile devices. type-c: Huawei port, supports notebooks. dc port: cigarette lighter port, car charger for car equipment: it can be placed in the car as a power charging. pd, qc: most suitable for fast charging, improving the charging efficiency of mobile devices. Compared with QC fast charging, PD fast charging can be compatible with various mobile phone protocols, and at the same time, it will not damage the battery, and it will not be hot when charging. Wireless charging: It is best to support it. After all, it can accommodate more devices at the same time. It is easy to forget to bring the cable when going out.
4. Be sure to choose the sine wave type when looking at the waveform, because the mains is a sine wave, and the AC output of the power supply is the same as the mains waveform, which can protect our electronic equipment. However, the brand machines on the market are all sine waves, and some unknown brands can do square waves.
