What matters
Four checks before comparing prices
Normal output
Compare continuous AC output and startup surge with the exact appliance, not a brand's boost mode alone.
Charging
Check AC time, solar voltage and wattage limits, car charging and whether specialist cables are included.
Portability
Capacity brings weight. Decide whether the unit must be hand-carried or can remain in a vehicle or home.

Choose by use case
Phones, laptops and lights
A small 200–500 Wh unit may be enough and is far easier to carry.
Camping fridge and appliances
Check daily energy use, compressor startup and how reliably you can recharge.
Home outage backup
Prioritise output, capacity, recharge time, expansion and safe connection of essential appliances.
Terms worth knowing
- Wh
- Watt hours measure stored energy and help estimate how long a load can run.
- W
- Watts measure power delivered at one moment and determine whether an appliance can operate.
- LFP
- Lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry, commonly used for long cycle life and thermal stability.
- Boost mode
- A special mode for certain loads. It is not a substitute for the normal continuous output rating.
