The Spruce
Need to keep the food in your freezer safe during a power outage?
It has about 10 times the battery capacity of ourbest valuepick.
We also really like Jackery Explorer 1500 for its utility.

It features three AC outlets, and it can put out 1500 watts continuously.
It weighs a lot because of the massive 3.6-kilowatt-hour battery.
The thing that sets the Delta Pro apart is its flexibility.

Each SolarSaga panel generates 100 watts, and it’s possible for you to use them separately or together.
It also has a built-in Qi wireless charger in addition to USB-C and USB-A ports for wired charging.
It’s great for emergencies because it has a built-in flashlight and a fold-out solar panel array.

While the foldable solar panel is convenient, the solar charging is a little on the slow side.
It’s wise to plan on charging this panel by plugging it into the wall.
It also includes wireless charging for your phone.

Unlike many other wireless chargers, theres no chance of accidentally knocking your phone off this one.
However, the case lacks a handle and is shiny, so it collects fingerprints easily.
Its still highly portable, but youll feel it in your pocket.

It also doesnt come with a wall charger, so youll have to supply your own.
The size of the battery largely dictates size and portability.
Battery Capacity
Battery capacity refers to the amount of power a portable power station can store.

For job sites or camping, a lower-capacity battery might suffice.
Checking the layout of the power outlets is also important.
If the outlets are crowded, you may not be able to use them all at once.

For example, ourbest wirelesspick has a wireless Qi charger in addition to a fast USB-C PD port.
