Portable Power Station
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with built-in inverter and outlets, ranging from 500Wh to 3,000Wh+. Used for emergency backup, camping, and powering small loads during outages.
Why It Matters
A portable station can keep phones, laptops, CPAP machines, and a mini-fridge running for hours during outages — a cheaper alternative to whole-home battery backup.
