Frequently Asked Questions

1. How Do You Charge a Portable Power Station?

Charging a portable power station is simple and flexible. Anker SOLIX portable power station supports 4 types of charging:

Solar Input, Gas Generato, AC Outlet and Home Power Panel.

2. Can a power station run a refrigerator?

Yes, a portable power station can run a refrigerator, but exactly how long depends on the output capacity of the power station and the power of the refrigerator.
Take the Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station as an example. If only 1 refrigerator is in operation, its 3.8kWh power capacity is sufficient for a 100W refrigerator to run for 38 hours.


3. Power Bank vs. Power Station: What Sets Them Apart?

Power stations are built to be heavy-duty, roughly the size of a stereo speaker, and weigh around 11 pounds. They have a much higher wattage output, capable of powering appliances at 1000W or higher. In contrast, power banks are slimmer and lighter, easily fitting into your pocket, but they are just used to charge mobile devices like phones or tablets.
For example, A typical Anker portable power station can come with an impressive 2048Wh, far exceeding the capacity of any power bank. What's more, power stations offer diverse recharging options, including portable power stations with solar panels, while power banks mainly rely on wall chargers.


4. How to Choose the Right Size Portable Power Station for Your Needs?

When selecting a portable power station, consider your needs. For small devices like headphones and smartphones, a compact portable power station of around 100Wh is sufficient, similar to a big power bank. However, for larger devices such as refrigerators or TVs, opt for a more heavy-duty option with 500Wh or more.
For longevity, LiFePO4 batteries are ideal, though heavier, like the Anker PowerHouse 521, which can last up to 10 years. Advanced models, such as the Anker Powerhouse 767, offer versatile charging options, including wall chargers and portable solar panels. For extensive outdoor use, a portable power station with over 2000Wh is recommended.


5. Which Devices Can You Power with a Portable Power Station?

A portable power station can charge and power a variety of devices, from small electronics like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and cameras to larger appliances such as mini-fridges, TVs, and even power tools.
Take the Anker SOLIX F3800 as an example, with its high capacity of 3840Wh and 6000W output, it can handle high-voltage and regular appliances, making it perfect for home backup during power outages. Additionally, its integration with portable solar panels allows for sustainable off-grid living, providing a versatile solution for both everyday and emergency power needs.


6. How Long Can a Portable Power Station Last?

The duration a portable power station can last depends on its capacity, usage, and battery type. Generally, high-capacity stations, like those with over 2000Wh, can power small devices for days and larger appliances for several hours on a single charge. This provides more convenience than any wall charger or wireless charger when you're on the go.
For instance, the Anker SOLIX F1200 Portable Power Station has a capacity of 1229Wh and can power 95% of home appliances. It can run a microwave for about 1 hour, a mini-fridge for up to 18 hours, and a laptop for nearly 16 recharges. Featuring LiFePO4 batteries, it offers up to 3,000 cycles, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance even with daily use.


7. Are Portable Power Stations Suitable for Indoor Use?

Yes. They work just as well indoors as outdoors! These handy devices come equipped with a variety of ports, including USB-A to USB-C, so you can easily charge all your devices - from laptops to phones and tablets. Better still, portable power stations are built with safety in mind, so you can use them with peace of mind no matter where you are.


8. Which is the best portable power station for home use?

Anker SOLIX portable power station is one of the best choices for home use, as it combines high-capacity battery storage with reliable output. Unlike smaller units, it can power essential household devices, such as refrigerators, CPAP machines, Wi-Fi routers, and even certain appliances, during outages. With advanced safety features, quiet operation, and multiple output ports (AC, USB-C, USB-A, DC), it’s designed for both emergency backup and daily convenience.
