Are you ready if the power goes out? | Technology
Portable power stations can make life a lot easier if the electricity is out for more than a few hours.Jim RossmanThis week’s storm may not be as bad as last year’s, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepared. Here are some of the reviews I’ve done over the last year of portable power stations, which are basically big batteries that can keep your lights and appliances running during an outage.
The battery power runs through an inverter and the juice flows through different types of outlets and ports. Power Stations almost always have AC outlets , USB ports and a 12-volt accessory port . The power stations have capacity limitations, like the amount of power stored in the batteries and the amount of power they can provide through the output ports .
These power stations have the advantage of being able to operate indoors, unlike gasoline-powered generators that need to be outside due to the exhaust. Of course, gas generators have the advantage of running continuously as long as you have fuel, while these power stations will need to be charged up after the batteries are exhausted.
Many of these battery power stations are not available in stores. They aren’t the kind of thing you can’t just buy at the last minute. But February isn’t over yet, either.
