Sometimes tired of the life of high-rise buildings in the city, more and more people want to travel, camp in the wild, or engage in outdoor sports, and the outdoors is born from this. The outdoor power station, as its name implies, is an energy source that can be used outdoors for a long time. It can be used as a large power bank, but it has a larger capacity and longer battery life than ordinary power banks. It has more scenarios for charging electronic devices and applications. Many, let's talk about the characteristics of outdoor power stations and purchase suggestions.
What is an outdoor power station?
An outdoor power station is a portable charging energy storage power station. It can be charged by a lithium battery or LiFePO4 battery and can be charged by conventional or solar energy. It has an AC output/DC output function. It has AC, DC, USB, car charger, Type-C, and many other interfaces, which can provide sustainable output sine wave current for various small and medium-sized electrical equipment, which is not only stable but also does not cause damage to the battery of the electrical appliance. It is especially suitable for inconvenient activities such as mountaineering, camping, and photography. Outdoor scene of regular charging.
Application scenarios of the outdoor power station
1. Charge conventional electronic devices.
For example: mobile phones, pads, laptops, and other conventional electronic devices can be charged
2. Long-term camping can also provide a stable power station for electric rice cookers, induction cookers, and other household appliances.
How to choose an outdoor power station
How to choose an outdoor power station? Outdoor conditions are limited, the natural environment is changeable, and now there are too many electronic devices that are inseparable. Therefore, an outdoor power station with sufficient power, ease of use, safety, and reliability is very important. If you want to buy a good outdoor power station, you need to pay attention to the following aspects.
1. Batteries: At present, outdoor power stations mainly use lithium-ion batteries and LiFePO4 batteries that are light in weight, small in size, long cycle life, and stable in performance. Ordinary lithium batteries are prone to short circuits or explosions due to poor technology or improper use. This is very dangerous. Therefore, you should choose an outdoor power station with explosion-proof and fire-proof lithium-ion batteries or LiFePO4 batteries.
2. Circuit protection: When choosing an outdoor power station, safety performance is always the first priority. A good outdoor power station has protection mechanisms such as over-discharge, overload, short circuit, over-voltage, over-current, etc., which make us more in the process of use. Safety.
3. Battery capacity: The larger the battery capacity, the longer it will continue to output electrical energy. Users have to choose the right battery capacity according to their needs. An oversized outdoor power station is not convenient to carry, but it becomes a burden on itself.
4. Output power: The greater the power of an outdoor power station, the more equipment that can supply power. Now we need more and more electronic devices, such as mobile phones, iPads, laptops, drones, and game consoles. The more equipment you carry, the more powerful outdoor power station should be selected.
5. Power supply terminal interface: The more interface types supported by the outdoor power station, the stronger the compatibility and the more suitable electronic devices. Therefore, you should choose an outdoor power station that supports AC, USB, Type-C, car charger, and other interface outputs to meet the needs of different devices.
6. Charging method and efficiency: At present, outdoor power stations generally have car charging, solar charging, and city electricity. Of course, the more charging methods, the better, and the higher the charging efficiency, the better, so you don't have to worry about not being able to meet a charging method.
7. Conditions of use: When purchasing, you must know which stage you are in. We have divided it into the following three stages.
(1) Short-term outdoor travel: It is enough to buy an outdoor power station with a battery capacity of 90000mAh-150000mAh and a power of 300-500W.
(2) Long-term outdoor travel: buy an outdoor power station with a battery capacity of 100000mAh-280000mAh and power of 500W-1000W outdoor power station.
(3) Family emergency power station reserve: Purchase outdoor power station batteries with a capacity of 90000mAh-280000mAh, and a power above 1000W.

Finally, as to why only these three models were selected, I will talk about their advantages in the next blog. Please pay more attention to the ITEHIL Blog.
Summarize
Before buying an outdoor power station, you can ask yourself two questions:
• After I buy an outdoor power station, it is not very useful. Do I need to buy it?
• After buying it, under those circumstances, can I use it, and is the frequency of use high?
After answering these two questions, we are buying. After all, we advocate rational consumption. The family likes outdoor travel and the frequency of outdoor contact is relatively high. It is recommended to buy 500W. ITEHIL power station and Jack Ru are very good.
