conclusions
Portable power stations are a great option to have electricity wherever we want, both alternating current and direct current. What we value most about this type of equipment is the versatility when it comes to recharging the battery, because we can do it through a conventional 230V plug, but we can also charge it with the 12V socket of the car, as well as through solar panels. This last option is the most interesting if we are camping, because we can take advantage of the sun to recharge the battery to the maximum, and later use it in the afternoon or night without running out of autonomy.
Something very important to assess before buying one of these portable power stations is the number of outlet ports to power appliances, it is essential that we have abundant ports and be able to feed several devices simultaneously, but without exceeding the maximum power allowed, because otherwise the power station will enter error mode due to high power. In addition, the incorporation of several USB ports to recharge our smartphones, tablets and even power laptops via USB type C is an aspect to be valued positively.
