Usage scenarios

When traveling, some people like to bring drones, while others like to bring rice cookers. Everyone has different needs for electrical equipment, and the power of the outdoor power supply determines what kind of electrical appliances the portable power station can supply, and the capacity determines how long it can supply. At present, there are many outdoor power supplies with a power of 300W~2000w and a capacity of 300Wh~2000Wh on the market. How to choose from so many?

Outdoor camping

If it’s just light camping, you can meet digital devices such as smartphones, drones, cameras, projectors, audio, etc., and camp for a short period of time without staying overnight. A product with a power of 300-500W and a capacity of 300-500Wh will be sufficient. If it is heavy camping and you want to “move the kitchen outdoors” to power rice cookers, induction cookers, kettles, and juicers, you can choose ones with a power of 1000-2000W and a capacity of 1000-2000Wh.

Many people think that as long as the portable power station is not taken out, it must be idle at home. In fact, it is not the case. Whenever it is the peak period of electricity consumption, especially in summer, there will always be sudden power outages, which will bring great harm to our work and life. A lot of inconvenience. At this time, the portable power station can be used as an emergency light, which can be used to boil water, cook, and charge mobile phones. As for the size, it is recommended that the power be above 1000W and the capacity be above 1000Wh.

Usage Experience

At present, there are many types of outdoor power supplies on the market, with uneven performance and quality, and the experience of using them is very different, mainly reflected in the aspects of aesthetics, portability, noise, and weather resistance.

1. Aesthetics. For many people, they only look at the appearance without looking at the function. If the appearance is not perfect at first glance, it is difficult to attract them. While some outdoor power supplies are improving their performance, they are also constantly innovating in terms of visual perception, adding some unique elements, and raising the overall design to a higher level, making people look very comfortable!
2. Portability. For people who go camping outdoors, it is mainly for decompression. If a bulky portable power station is added, then this camping is not decompression but “weight gain”. At present, the types of batteries used in outdoor power supplies are different, and the structural designs are also different. The overall volume and weight are also uneven, and there are also large differences in carrying. There are also some outdoor power supplies that adopt an integrated design. The design of the fuselage is relatively small, and the weight is also reduced a lot. It is very suitable for people who often camp outdoors with a lot of luggage.
3. Noise resistance. For some people with light sleep, even the slightest sound will wake him up from his dream, not to mention noise from the outdoor power supply. At present, the noise of outdoor power supplies varies greatly. Some outdoor power supplies use fans to dissipate heat, and the noise has reached 50-60 decibels. But some portable power stations use some special technologies, so the noise is reduced to 30-20 decibels, or even 0 decibels, which is very suitable for those who are sensitive to sound crowd.
4. Weather resistance. For people who often travel outdoors, they often go to different environments, such as dusty, humid and salty environments—beaches, lawns, and deserts, as well as low-temperature climates in the north or plateaus, often below zero. In the application of various outdoor scenes, people hope that the portable power station has strong weather resistance to adapt to various complex environment. At present, most outdoor power supplies on the market have a low protection level and cannot adapt to humid and dusty environments, and the built-in lithium battery cannot be charged and discharged at low temperature, and cannot adapt well to complex environments. There are also some brands of outdoor power supplies that use some special materials and integrated body design can reach IP52 or even higher protection level, which is more suitable for this kind of bad environment. Some are equipped with low-temperature batteries or low-temperature preheating technology, which can realize normal charge and discharge, more suitable for various scenarios of frequent outdoor travel.

NPP Portable Power Station 

The above is the portable power station purchase guide compiled for you. It mainly popularizes from the dimensions of usage scenarios, experience, brand safety. Now I’d like to introduce NPP brand outdoor power supplies, which can provide a very good use experience for users. And its characteristics of portability, quietness, low temperature resistance, and severe cold resistance have been recognized by many users in the market.

Better charging and discharging performance and higher safety guarantee. Built-in EMS energy management, CMS charging management and BMS provide equalizing charge, these 3 major safety systems for battery management, mutual monitoring and single system failure can trigger other system protection, so to high security redundancy.

In this era of focusing on health, people’s material living standards are also constantly improving. For people who are engaged in outdoor work, love self-driving travel, and love outdoor sports, the lack of outdoor power is an urgent problem to be solved. Because of the enrichment of outdoor forms, it is not only used for power consumption of conventional equipment such as electronic digital, but also as a necessary energy storage power supply for self-driving car products and low-power home appliances.
