Taking advantage of weekends and holidays, driving a motorhome with friends, camping, fishing, etc. has become a fashionable life, and you have to do enough preparations to drive to the outdoors in order to enjoy the fun of camping. How to make outdoor life more refined, first solve the most basic electricity problem, otherwise all kinds of electronic devices such as refrigerators, kettles, cameras, drones, movies, etc. will be unusable, and people will naturally lose interest.
5 Kinds Outdoor Use Electricity Solutions
1. Power bank (not recommended)
Mobile Power Pack, also called power bank, rechargeable battery, etc. A portable charger integrating power supply and charging functions, which can charge mobile phones, tablet computers and other digital devices anytime and anywhere. Generally, lithium batteries (or dry batteries, less common) are used as power storage units, which are convenient and quick to use.
The emergence of mobile power supplies has undoubtedly alleviated the problem of insufficient power consumption of smart terminals at this stage. The portable and movable characteristics of mobile power supplies have brought us great convenience. The mobile power supply is now a portable product. On the basis of ensuring the product capacity, how to reduce the volume of the product and make the product more compact and easy to carry is one of the trends in the technological innovation of the appearance of the mobile power supply! Secondly, how to apply advanced industrial design concepts and even humanistic concepts to the appearance design of mobile power supplies to make mobile power supplies feel more comfortable and fashionable, which is also the trend of mobile power technology innovation.
Advantages: small size, easy to carry, and ready to use.
Disadvantages: only used in small electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, earphones, etc., and has low power and few ports.
2. Outdoor power bank (strongly recommended)
With age, there is increasing pressure on employment, mortgages, children, and the elderly. Every weekend, more and more people tend to flee the metropolis and go to the unfettered countryside to enjoy a rare fun time every week. If you want to enjoy a pleasant time outdoors, outdoor mobile power supplies add a higher level of safety to outdoor travel.
In the environment far away from the mains electricity, you can use outdoor mobile power to solve the electricity problem, especially when traveling outdoors, which can bring excellent performance. The main features of outdoor power banks are stable performance, long cycle life and light weight. It is not only a guarantee for the safety of night activities, but also the basis for ensuring the normal operation of electronic equipment.
Outdoor power bank has a variety of power, you can choose a suitable outdoor power bank according to the scene. General household backup power supplies, short-distance trips or mobile phones and other digital products can all use low-power power supplies. It is portable and does not take up much space in the trunk. For industrial electricity, long-distance self-driving tours, etc., it is more suitable to choose high-power, large-capacity power supplies, which are more durable and provide the most solid backing for outdoor electricity.
The outdoor mobile power supply adopts a multi-interface design, which can match electronic digital devices according to the situation, and can continuously power mobile phones, sports cameras, tablet computers and other electronic devices. And with strong compatibility, it supports simultaneous use of multiple devices without waiting for charging.
Advantages: three power supply methods, multiple charging ports, high capacity, high safety, support for high-power and large-output electrical appliances, and no noise.
Disadvantages: fragile shell, large size, low cost performance (choose a big brand, quality is guaranteed, and many big brands are not large in size, ordinary people can lift it with one hand)
3. Car inverter
The car inverter is a power converter for vehicles, which can convert the 12V direct current of the car battery into 220V alternating current. That is, the inverter can use 220V power supply in the car to charge notebook computers, mobile phones and other devices, and can also be connected to electrical appliances within a certain power range.
In fact, the inverter is not a simple transformer, because it can not only convert the 12V power provided by the car battery into 220V, but also convert direct current to alternating current. Therefore, even the simplest inverter is composed of a complex circuit and multiple electrical components.
Advantages: automatic operation, high power.
Disadvantages: fear of high temperature, low safety performance.
4. Gasoline generator
Gasoline generators are usually composed of stators, rotors, end covers and bearings. The engine is a machine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Its conversion process is actually the process of working cycle. In simple terms, it burns the fuel in the cylinder to generate kinetic energy to drive the reciprocating movement of the piston in the engine cylinder. It drives the connecting rod connected to the piston and the crank connected to the connecting rod to make a reciprocating circular motion around the center of the crankshaft to output power.
The stator is composed of a stator core, a package winding, a base and other structural parts that fix these parts. The rotor is composed of rotor core (or magnetic pole, magnetic yoke) winding, guard ring, center ring, slip ring, fan and rotating shaft. The stator and rotor of the generator are connected and assembled by bearings and end covers, so that the rotor can rotate in the stator and cut the magnetic lines of force, thereby generating induced electric potential, which is drawn through the terminal and connected in the loop to generate current.
Advantages: continuous power generation, unlimited capacity (when there is gasoline, there is electricity), and reliable.
Disadvantages: the volume is too large, the environmental pollution is serious, and the noise is loud.
5. Diesel generator
Diesel generator is a kind of small power generating equipment, which refers to power machinery that uses diesel fuel as fuel and diesel engine as prime mover to drive generator to generate electricity. The complete set is generally composed of diesel engine, generator, control box, fuel tank, storage battery for starting and control, protection device, emergency cabinet and other components.
It can be used for daily power generation and emergency power generation in various homes, offices, large, medium and small enterprises.
Advantages: continuous power generation, unlimited capacity (when there is diesel, there is electricity).
Disadvantages: the volume is too large, the environmental pollution is serious, and the noise is loud.
Summary: If we go outdoors, we’d better use it for easy portability, large capacity, and high security. Therefore, it is recommended to choose outdoor mobile power when going outdoor camping or traveling. Someone here must ask why not choose a power bank? In fact, the capacity of the power bank is too small and the output power is too small. For this reason, we chose the ITEHIL 500W LiFePO4 power station to compare with the current XXX power bank with the highest capacity, and the solar panel can be used to continuously power the ITEHIL 500W LiFePO4 power station. .
