FAQ

Questions people ask before buying.

What size portable power station do I need for a desk setup?

Calculate total wattage of laptop, monitor, router, and accessories. A 1000Wh station runs a typical desk for 2 to 4 hours.

Should I add solar panels to a portable power station?

Only if you plan off-grid use or multi-day outages. Solar recharge is slow and weather-dependent.
