Portable power station specifications
Every unit we hold confirmed specifications for, sorted by tier and price. Capacity, inverter rating, cell chemistry, cycle life, charge time and weight, with a full page of runtime and solar figures behind each one.
<!-- gift-guides-xlink -->How to read this index
Three columns decide almost every purchase in this category, and capacity is only one of them. Capacity sets how long you can coast. Cycle life sets how many years the unit lasts under daily use, and it is the single largest difference between LiFePO4 and older lithium NMC cells: roughly 3,000 cycles against 500. Solar input ceiling sets how fast the pack refills without a wall outlet, and it is the specification most often ignored right up until the array is on the roof and clipping at noon.
Where a maker does not publish a figure clearly, or publishes it inconsistently between the manual and the marketing copy, this index leaves the cell blank rather than guessing. Of the 36 units listed, 32 use LiFePO4 cells. The largest is the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus at 5,040Wh and the smallest is the Dometic PLB15 at 154Wh.
Brands covered: Anker, Bluetti, Dometic, EcoFlow, Goal Zero, Jackery. Several of these sell mainly direct or through dealers rather than through a consistent Amazon listing, and those pages link to a scoped search instead of a product page. That is the correct output rather than a gap.

Work out what you need before you shop
A capacity figure means nothing until you have a load list. Start with the power consumption calculator to find your daily watt-hours, then the solar array calculator to see how much a roof or a folding panel gives back. If you are still deciding between a sealed station and a wired battery, read power station versus DIY battery bank, and if you have decided, the tiered picks are on the best portable power stations.
