Portable Power Stations

What is a Portable Power Station?

Blackfire Portable Power Stations are rechargeable lithium-ion battery-powered generators. They provide mobile power with their equipped AC outlets, DC carports, and multiple USB charging ports. They are able to be charged at home, in your car, or solar-powered with chainable Blackfire Solar Panels. Blackfire Portable Power Stations keep your gear charged such as smartphones, laptops, drones, CPAP machines, camera batteries, tools, lights, and more. In addition, they are able to power appliances like mini coolers, refrigerators, electric grills, coffee machines, pressure cookers, blenders, and more depending on the model. They are perfect for camping, tailgating, work, DIY projects, power outages, and beyond.

How long do Portable Power Stations last?

A portable power station can last anywhere from 3 hours to a few days depending on how much power your desired item pulls from the power station. For example, if you are using our 500W (Watt) Portable Power Station that has 505Wh (Watt Hour) of capacity and decide to plug in an appliance that uses 500W, you can expect the power station to last close to an hour.
