Why are people choosing power stations over generators?

What are Portable Energy Storage Systems?

Portable power stations (also called gasless generators or battery-powered inverter generators) are devices that can store electrical power in an internal battery for later use. Since generators emit carbon monoxide, they require that you take precautionary safety measures, including operating the device outside, at least 20 feet away from any structure and building. “These generators have no fumes and all of the models we tested made virtually no noise,” says test engineer Dave Trezza. In essence, they are giant power banks. Portable power stations usually provide electrical power of up to 1000W, although there are exceptions and devices with much higher capacity that can be encountered on the market. A portable power station might be the answer to your needs during inevitable inconveniences and emergencies such as a power outage in your neighborhood or during natural disasters or you simply want more satisfactory outdoor travel and camping. Powered by lithium batteries, the units have a lot of advantages over the traditional gas- or diesel-powered generators.
