Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Portable Power Supply

After purchasing your portable power station, you can consider the following tips and tricks to get the most out of it:

 

• Turn off all the outputs when not using your portable power station: Switch off all ports that are not in active use to reduce unnecessary power consumption.
• Store your station in a cool, dry place: You don’t want your station exposed to a wet and windy environment as it’s still an electronic device. This will also help prolong the lifespan of your station.
• Avoid storing it in direct sunlight, near a heat source, or in uninsulated outdoor sheds: Always ensure that there’s good ventilation, and avoid mouldy basements or placing your station near furnaces or fireplaces.
• Charge your power station to 100% after you’ve used it: Forming a bad habit of not charging your station to its fullest after use can prevent the batteries from performing at their peak. Fully recharging your station before storing it away will help keep the batteries in healthy condition in the long run.
• Regularly check in on the condition of your power station: Check the battery’s capacity weekly to ensure it’s healthy and charged. This routine check-up will help keep you prepared and ready for loadshedding and random power outages.

Portable Power Station vs. Solar Power Station

So, what’s the difference between a battery-powered station and a portable solar power station? A solar portable power station generates energy from captured sunlight, allowing you to keep your devices charged while travelling, camping, or during loadshedding. A battery-powered station offers similar benefits but stores energy instead of generating its own.

 

Let’s compare the portable power stations:

 

Portable Power Station	Solar Power Station
Stores energy	Generates energy
Designed for indoor use	Designed for outdoor use
Requires external source of energy	Has internal batteries charged by solar panels
Charges quicker, more versatile, and mobile	More eco-friendly and green
Uses wall outlets, solar panels, and car chargers	Relies solely on solar energy

 

FAQs About Small Portable Power Stations

If we haven’t answered all your questions yet, perhaps the following FAQs can give you some clarity.

 

How Long Will a Portable Power Station Run?

You can estimate the runtime of a portable power station by dividing the power capacity of the station by the power consumption of the devices. For example, a 1000W product can run for about 11 hours when powering a device that draws 90 watts (1000/90=11).

 

What Should I Look for When Choosing a Portable Power Station?

Pay attention to the portability, capacity, lifespan, and design features. The first three attributes will be impacted by the battery, so ensure that this is up to standard, too. The LiFePO4 is the best option since it has a longer lifespan and greater efficiency than other batteries.

 

Should I Go for a Lead Acid or Lithium-Ion Battery Power Pack?

Generally speaking, lithium-ion battery technology is superior to lead-acid because it’s more reliable and efficient. The VS-P1000 Portable Power Station uses Lithium-Ion for this very reason.

 

Do You Need a Portable Power Station in South Africa?

100% yes. With South Africa’s ongoing electrical issues, there’s no better time to start looking at alternative energy sources. Loadshedding is disruptive and unpleasant, plus relying too much on state-owned entities may also set you back.

Investing in renewable, environmentally friendly energy allows you more freedom and independence so that you can save money and avoid the dark times ahead.
