For this question, you need to calculate the size of the portable power station you need based on the devices you want to use, the power of the devices, and the time you need to use them.
(1) Devices you need: First, determine the devices you want to use with the portable power station, as different portable power stations have different output interfaces.
(2) Power of the devices you need to use: After determining the devices you need, make a note of the power of each device. Add up the power of all the devices to determine the total power you need. You should choose a portable power station whose power is slightly higher than the total power of the devices you plan to use.
Below is the average power size of commonly used items.
|
thing |
power |
|
Coffee machine |
900W |
|
Kettle |
1500W |
|
computer |
90W |
|
lamp |
150W |
|
Air fryer |
1500W |
Since the power size of each type of item may vary, the above are only approximate value ranges. For specifics, please refer to the devices you need to use.
(3) The usage time you need: You need to determine the usage time required for each of your devices and then add up the watt-hours of each device to calculate the battery energy you need. The formula for calculating the watt-hours of a single device is: Watt-hours = Watts × Hours. For example, if you need to use a coffee machine for 1 hour, a kettle for 0.5 hours, and a lamp for 2 hours, then you need a total of 900×1 + 1500×0.5 + 150×2 = 1950Wh of battery energy. Attention! This is just a rough calculation. In actual use, you also need to consider issues like battery life, so try to choose a portable power station with a watt-hour rating slightly higher than what you need
Can a portable power station run a refrigerator？
In most cases, it is possible. However, you need to choose the right portable power station. First, you need to determine the power of the refrigerator and the usage time you need. You have to ensure that the rated power and energy capacity of the portable power station you choose are greater than the power usage and watt-hours of your refrigerator.
How does a portable power station work？
Portable power stations use rechargeable batteries to provide off-grid power and are equipped with inverters that can convert DC to AC for use.
Portable power stations can be charged through mains electricity, vehicles, solar panels, etc. Once fully charged, they can be used in various areas such as camping, outdoor living, industrial power, and emergency power. By connecting devices to the power station, the stored energy can power your devices.
Portable power stations typically have built-in control systems that can monitor and manage the process of power generation. This system automatically controls the operation of the generator to ensure that the output power is stable and safe. The power output interfaces of portable generators can be used to connect various electrical devices, typically including outlets, USB ports, Type-C ports, etc., to meet the power needs of different devices. Through the output interfaces, portable generators can provide power to various electrical devices such as mobile phones, computers, lights, etc.”
