In fact, there are sometimes huge differences between the various models. We will show you which features are relevant below.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"battery-size\"><\/span>Battery size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The endurance of a power station is directly related to the battery capacity. The more watt hours (Wh) the energy storage unit has to offer, the longer it can supply electronic devices with the necessary power. But more storage does not only have advantages. The higher the capacity, the higher the weight, as a rule. Powerstations with more storage space are not only heavier. On top of that, they are usually significantly larger than their counterparts with comparatively little storage space.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_251144\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-251144\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-251144 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-780x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7859-1320x990.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-251144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bluetti EB3A <a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/reviews\/gadget-reviews\/bluetti-eb3a\/\">(test<\/a>) may not have a large battery, but it is pleasantly compact<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here you simply have to weigh up what is more important to you. Do you want a battery that lasts as long as possible and has plenty of power or would you prefer a handy model that you can easily carry over longer distances? Of course, there are also all-rounders in this area. As a rule, they offer 1,000 to 2,000 Wh and still weigh a tolerable amount. This represents the perfect compromise between endurance and flexibility.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"output-power\"><\/span>Output power<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The larger the battery capacity of a power station, the higher its performance. This is a basic principle that you can remember when buying the right model. How high the wattage of your power station should be depends on the area of application for which you have chosen it. If you only want a compact model that fits in your backpack, you will only want to charge a smartphone and a laptop at most anyway.<\/p><div class=\"losgehts-inhalt losgehts-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"losgehts-1407622153\"><div class=\"losgehts-adlabel\">Anzeige<\/div><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"405718\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Low performance values are sufficient here. If, on the other hand, you are planning to use it to operate power-hungry devices such as a refrigerator or even a Flex, you should have at least 2,000 watts on board. However, a lot of power is also necessary if you want to operate several appliances at the same time. After all, the maximum output power of a power station always represents the sum of all connected consumers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"input-power\"><\/span>Input power<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the output power, the input power is of course also of interest. This is about how quickly the battery of the power station can be charged. Older devices with a large battery can take a few hours. However, modern models now often offer a quick-charging function. This means that the battery is already fully charged after one to two hours.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum charging power is usually available at the household socket. This is usually followed by the solar panel (assuming the weather is good) and the least power is available when connected to your car. However, some power stations also allow combined charging, where both the energy from the socket and the solar panel are used together.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"inputs-and-outputs\"><\/span>Inputs and outputs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When choosing the right power station, the number of inputs and outputs should also play a major role. After all, all that power is useless if you can&#8217;t also connect the corresponding consumers. Do you want to take the mobile energy storage unit with you on your travels and use your kettle, toaster, light, fridge and other little helpers? Then make sure there are enough sockets available.<\/p><div class=\"losgehts-inhalt losgehts-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"losgehts-640907512\"><div class=\"losgehts-adlabel\">Anzeige<\/div><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"405718\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_239570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-239570\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-239570 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-780x438.png\" alt=\"Kauftipps Powerstation\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-780x438.png 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-390x220.png 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-220x124.png 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-2048x1151.png 2048w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/RIVER-2-Pro-1320x742.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-239570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The EcoFlow River 2 Pro offers a reasonable number of connections. (Image: EcoFlow)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>USB-A and USB-C ports should also not be in short supply on the power station. After all, these are simply the most practical if you just want to supply your smartphone or notebook with new energy. A Qi charging surface, which some models now have, is also extremely practical. Here you can simply place your smartphone on the power station and it is immediately supplied with energy.<\/p>\n<p>The inputs are also important. After all, they are the prerequisite for the power station to have a full battery in the first place. Three different charging options have now become established. Almost every power station has an AC input for charging via the socket, a solar connection for charging via a PV panel and a car connection that can be used to charge the power station with your car.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"more-longevity-with-modern-battery-cells\"><\/span>More longevity with modern battery cells<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just a few years ago, most power stations came with a classic lithium-ion battery. But now only the inexpensive models rely on this now outdated battery technology. Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) are now much more popular. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they offer significantly more safety during use.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_303094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-303094\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-303094 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-780x540.jpg\" alt=\"Kauftipps Powerstation\" width=\"780\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-780x540.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-390x270.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-220x152.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-1536x1064.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation-1320x914.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Kauftipps_Powerstation.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-303094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LFP batteries are currently on everyone&#8217;s lips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The risk of fire and explosion is significantly lower with this type of battery than with comparable lithium-ion batteries. But that&#8217;s not all. On top of that, the new battery cells can withstand charging processes much better. For you as a user, this means a longer service life. A good power station should now be able to withstand over 3,000 charging cycles.<\/p><div class=\"losgehts-inhalt losgehts-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"losgehts-473791182\"><div class=\"losgehts-adlabel\">Anzeige<\/div><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"405718\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"further-features\"><\/span>Further features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are other features that some power stations have to offer. Ease of use plays a particularly important role here. Firstly, there is a suitable rolling or carrying aid. With the help of a handle, you can easily carry the mobile energy storage unit from A to B. If it can also be folded away, the power station won&#8217;t take up too much space in the trunk. Larger power stations, on the other hand, would not be easy to move even with a carrying handle.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_267542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-267542\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-267542 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-780x646.jpg\" alt=\"Kauftipps Powerstation\" width=\"780\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-780x646.jpg 780w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-390x323.jpg 390w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-220x182.jpg 220w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-1536x1273.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-2048x1697.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_9027-1320x1094.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-267542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With its practical pull handle, the FOSSiBOT F3600 <a href=\"https:\/\/basic-tutorials.com\/reviews\/gadget-reviews\/fossibot-f3600\/\">(test<\/a>) can be transported like a wheeled suitcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some manufacturers have taken the principle of wheeled suitcases as a model and simply placed wheels on the underside. Now the Powerstation can be easily rolled to the desired location. What a power station should not be without these days is an easily recognizable display. This shows the most important parameters for the energy storage unit. In particular, you can see the remaining capacity of the battery or the input and output power at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer remote control and want to view the most important data remotely from the power station, app support is also important. More and more manufacturers are now offering corresponding software for their power stations. While some &#8222;only&#8220; rely on a connection via Bluetooth, some even offer integration into the home network. This ensures that you can keep an eye on the most important data anytime and anywhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion-powerstation-buying-tips-are-important\"><\/span>Conclusion: Powerstation buying tips are important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you rush out and buy just any power station, you should clarify in advance what is important to you.
