In the past one or two years, every holiday, there will be a camping fever, and the fever is higher than a year. How to make outdoor life more refined? First of all, solve the most basic problem of electricity consumption. Otherwise, various electronic devices such as mobile phones, cameras, drones, and game consoles will not be able to display their skills. In such a scenario, a power supply with large capacity and high power that can provide AC220V is urgently needed. The portable power station generator just meets such needs.
The portable power station generator is a portable energy storage power source that stores electrical energy, most of which are made of lithium-ion batteries, which can supply power to a variety of devices without urban power. The main features are that the capacity is large, the power is large, and there are many interfaces.
The difference between portable power station generator and power bank
①Capacity: The unit of portable power station generator is Wh (watt-hour), and the unit of power bank is mAh (milliampere-hour), which are generally referred to as milliamps. If the portable power station generator is converted into mAh, then compare. The power bank is generally 10000 or 20000mAh, while the portable power station generator is generally tens of thousands of mAh. It can be seen that the portable power station generator is much larger in capacity than the power bank.
②Power: The portable power station generator generally supports more than 120w or even up to 2000w, while the power bank is generally hundreds of thousands to tens of watts.
③Current: The portable power station generator supports AC alternating current and DC direct current, and the power bank only supports DC direct current.
@Interface: The portable power station generator supports AC, DC, car charger, USB-A, Type-C, and the power bank only supports USB-A, Type-C.
What a portable power station generator can do
- Charging of digital devices (drones, mobile phones, computers).
- Use a car refrigerator, and other devices that support car power.
- Boil hot water, rice cooker for cooking and other appliances.
- Mobile office, when there is no place to charge, can guarantee the computer or mobile phone.
- For outdoor photography, power a camera or video light.
- As a household emergency power supply, it provides lighting and power supply for some equipment.
- Wait for others to provide power supply when there is no utility power.
Portable power station generator purchase points
①Power
The more power, the more electronic devices can be powered, and the more content there is for outdoor activities. The most important thing for a portable power station generator is the rated power, which represents the continuous and stable output capability of the power supply.
②Capacity
The unit of the portable power station generator is Wh (watt-hour), which is the unit of power consumption and represents the work that the battery can do. The unit of the power bank is mAh (milliampere-hour), which is a unit of electricity, indicating the charge Q that the battery can hold or release. Conversion between Wh and mAh: Wh*1000/Voltage = mAh. Generally, the power bank is a method of connecting multiple 18650 batteries in parallel to increase the capacity. The voltage standard is 3.6/3.7V (there will be differences in the promotion of different merchants). The portable power station generator generally adopts a multi-parallel multi-series method to achieve greater power. The portable power station generator will take at least three strings, that is, the voltage is 3.6/.7V*3.
Since the voltage output by the entire battery of the portable power station generator of different powers is different, Wh (watt-hour) can better express the capacity of the portable power station generator. The mAh marked by many portable power station generator merchants is converted by the voltage of the power bank 3.6/3.7V, which shows a large capacity. Therefore, when purchasing a portable power station generator, you should pay more attention to Wh (watt-hour), the larger the number, the longer the power supply time.
③ Charging method
At present, the mainstream charging methods include wall charging, car charging, and solar energy. In addition to the wall charging interface, which is a basic accessory, other charging methods may require the purchase of corresponding charging accessories. If you stay outdoors for a long time, solar panels are still necessary.
④Power interface
Usually necessary are USB-A, Type-C, as well as AC output and DC interface. USB-A port to support mobile devices. Type-C supports PD fast charging protocol devices such as mobile phones and notebooks to improve the charging efficiency of mobile devices. The AC interface provides AC 220V voltage and supports most electronic devices such as sockets. The DC interface can provide car charger power supply or other devices that support 12V power supply.
