Find the ideal power station for your needs — from a weekend in a tent to a holiday home powered by the sun.

For camping and trips

Every kilogram counts when camping, and the EcoFlow River 3 Plus weighs just 3.54 kg and features a carrying handle. You can lift it with one hand from the trunk to your tent, and its 286Wh capacity is enough to charge phones, flashlights, and a laptop throughout the weekend.

Its IP54 protection resists dust and splashes, so you can leave it outside on the campsite table, even in the morning damp. Top it up on the way using your car’s cigarette lighter socket, then recharge it at your destination with a solar panel or from a wall outlet.

For your router and computer during power outages

If you work from home, a power outage can mean losing your internet connection in the middle of a call. The Bluetti Premium 30 V2 features UPS mode: connect it between the wall outlet and your router or computer, and your devices will keep running if the power goes out.

The 320 Wh capacity can power a router for several hours, while the 2 USB-C ports let you charge a laptop and phone at the same time. At 4.3 kg, it fits under your desk, and you can take it with you when you need to leave home.

For Cars, Motorhomes and Boats

For trips with multiple overnight stays, you need a power supply that won’t run out on the first night. The EcoFlow River 2 Pro has a capacity of 768Wh, enough to power lights, charge devices and run small appliances for days. It can also recharge from your car’s 12V outlet while you drive.

With 4 AC outlets, you can connect everything your motorhome or boat needs at once, while 3 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port let you charge your portable devices. The LiFePO4 battery lasts for around 3,000 full cycles, making it suitable for years of frequent use. It has long been a popular choice among users.

For Whole-Home Power Outages

When an outage lasts for hours, you want to keep the fridge, lights and phones running. The Bluetti AC180P has a capacity of 1440Wh, enough to power your home’s essentials for several hours.

With UPS mode, it stays plugged in and automatically takes over as soon as the power goes out, without you having to switch it on. The LiFePO4 battery with 3,500 cycles can withstand years of regular use, and you can place your phone on top for wireless charging.

For a holiday home with solar panels

In a holiday home without a mains connection, a power station becomes the home’s battery: it charges during the day from solar panels and supplies power at night. The Bluetti Premium 200 V2 stores 2700Wh, enough to run several devices at once until the sun comes up again.

Since the battery is charged and discharged every day, durability matters: its LiFePO4 battery is designed for 6,000 cycles, which means over 15 years with one full charge per day. It also has a UPS function, and at 24.2 kg, it can be moved when needed thanks to its handle.

Start with where you'll use it: for a tent and car trunk, weight matters; for the office, UPS functionality; and for home or a holiday house, capacity in Wh and battery cycles. These three factors quickly clarify which power station is right for you.
