KEEP ESSENTIAL POWER
RUNNING.
Protect watts that protect you.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU BUY MORE.
Protect the small loads first. Phones, lights and radios give far more value per watt than trying to run high-draw appliances.
Start at USB
A reputable power bank gives useful reserve for phones and other small USB loads without the cost or bulk of a power station.
Standardise batteries
AA/AAA rechargeables keep radios and lights working without disposable-only dependence.
Measure loads
Read the wattage on devices or use a meter before sizing a station.
Add LiFePO4 storage
Choose capacity from required watt-hours, not marketing claims.
Add solar last
Panel voltage and current must fit the station input.
Test quarterly
Run a real outage drill: charge, light, radio, router and recharge sequence.
