Key Features to Consider When Buying

Capacity (Watt-hours)

Capacity, measured in Wh, tells you how much energy the unit stores. Higher capacity means longer runtimes. Smaller units (around 300Wh) are suited to devices like phones and laptops, while large ones (2000+Wh) can run fridges and heaters.

Power Output (Watts)

This shows how much power can be delivered at once. A 500W model is fine for lights and laptops, while 2000W+ units handle microwaves, heaters, and fridges with ease.

Charging Options (AC, Solar, Car)

Choose a model with multiple charging methods—wall outlet, solar, and 12V car charging. Charging times vary: smaller units may recharge in 3–5 hours, larger ones often take 8–10 unless equipped with fast-charging tech.

Portability and Durability

Weight, size, and carrying design matter. Look for solid handles or wheels for easier movement. Rugged casings are more reliable for outdoor and off-road use.
