Welcome to our Portable Power Station category page! Here, you’ll find an extensive range of portable power solutions designed to keep your life charged and running smoothly, wherever you are.
What is a Portable Power Station?
A portable power station is your go-to energy hub when you’re away from a traditional power source. Unlike the noisy, fuel-guzzling generators of yesteryears, these sleek power stations utilise high-capacity batteries, usually lithium-ion or lithium-polymer, to store and dispense electrical energy quietly and efficiently. Essentially, think of them as oversized power banks on steroids; not just for your phones and tablets, but also for appliances and devices that require AC power.
Why You Might Need One
From outdoor adventures and camping trips to emergency backup for your smart home tech, portable power stations offer unparalleled versatility. If you’re an outdoor fitness enthusiast who can’t part with tech gadgets even in the wilderness, or if you’re a techie who wants an uninterrupted power source for networking devices, phones, and AV tech—these power stations have you covered.
Key Features
Whether you’re planning your next outdoor adventure, need reliable backup for your smart home, or are simply looking for a multi-device charging solution that can handle more than just USB devices, our range of portable power stations offers something for everyone. Dive in to explore your options!

I have been on a roll of reviewing portable power stations recently. However, I have only reviewed options from EcoFlow and Jackery. Both brands make superb power stations, but there are plenty of other options on the market, and BLUETTI is probably the next most popular brand there is. The BLUETTI EB3A launched within the…
I apologise for capitalising on the fearmongering the media has been peddling in recent months about the possibilities of rolling blackouts across the country this winter. I am fortunate that whatever the scenario, the outcome won’t be that bad for me, but many people won’t be in the same position, and I, therefore, hope this…

Following on from my review of the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max, let’s look at how two of the EcoFlow RIVER 2 models compare with the Anker PowerHouse counterparts.
