The main factor that determines what can be connected to a portable charging station is its output power, measured in watts (W). Techno 24.

Power refers to the amount of continuous energy a facility can provide. Stations with more power can power more demanding devices like refrigerators, televisions, and even some kitchen appliances. But it’s not just about power; the type of output current (specifically, whether it’s a pure sine wave or a modified wave) will also play a role.

Precision equipment

Some sensitive electronic devices, such as computers and medical equipment, require a clean sine wave to function properly. While many portable stations offer a modified sine wave, this may not be sufficient for all devices.

Always check your equipment’s user manual to determine the type of sine wave you need. If pure sine wave is required, make sure your charging station supports this feature to avoid damaging your devices.

Energy consumption

Before connecting the portable station to your home electrical network, it is very important to understand the power consumption of your devices. This applies to two basic indicators:

1. Strength: Check the nominal power of your appliance, which is usually stated on the label or in the manual. It shows how much energy the appliance consumes during operation.
2. Consumption periodEstimate how long you plan to use each appliance during a power outage. For example, a refrigerator can run for 8 hours, and a laptop can run for 4 hours.

It is important to note that some appliances, such as refrigerators, microwaves, and kettles, have higher starting wattages. This is the initial surge of power required to start these appliances, usually several times their rated wattage.

Your portable station needs to be able to handle this starting power, otherwise the device may not turn on. This factor is very important when choosing the model of the portable charging station.

Rechargeable devices

With the help of a sufficiently powerful portable charging station, you can charge a wide variety of devices, including:

• Basic needs: Refrigerator, TV, computer.
• Kitchen Appliances: Boilers, kettles, toasters, mixers, electric hobs (depending on capacity).
• Other electronics: Laptops, tablets, game consoles, smartphones.

In fact, any equipment can be connected to the charging station as long as the energy consumption does not exceed the capacity of the station.

Solution

By understanding your energy needs and carefully choosing the right portable charging station, you can make your home more resilient to power outages. Use the charging station wisely by considering both the power consumption and starting power of your devices. This approach ensures that your alternative power source remains a reliable backup when you need it most.
