How to choose power stations
What to look at before you buy, with facts from the 132 power stations we compare from 4 stores. Updated October 28, 2026.
What matters most
- Capacity (Wh) sets how long it runs: device watts × hours of use, plus about 15% margin.
- Output (W) sets what it can power; fridges and tools need extra surge power to start.
- LiFePO4 batteries last many more charge cycles than standard lithium-ion.
- Check the solar input (W and volts) if you plan to charge it with panels.
