What is an Portable Power Supplies

Portable Power Supplies is a kind of outdoor multifunctional power supply with built-in lithium-ion battery and its own power reserve, also known as portable AC and DC power supply. Portable Power Supplies is equivalent to a small portable charging station, with light weight, high capacity, high power, long life and strong stability, not only equipped with multiple USB ports to meet the charging of digital products, but also output DC, AC, car cigarette lighter and other commonly used power supply interface, able to provide power for laptop computers, drones, photography lights, projectors, rice cookers, electric fans, kettles, automobiles, and other equipment for power supply, suitable for Suitable for outdoor camping, outdoor live broadcasting, outdoor construction, location shooting, family emergency power and other scenes with high power consumption.

How Portable Power Supplies Works

The Portable Power Supplies consists of control board, battery pack, inverter and BMS system, which can convert DC power through inverter to AC power that can be used by other electrical appliances, and also supports various interfaces of DC output to supply power to a variety of household appliances and digital devices.

Charging Methods for Portable Power Supplies

There are many ways to charge the outdoor power supply, mainly divided into solar panel charging (solar to DC charging), utility charging (charging circuit built into the Portable Power Supplies, AC to DC charging), vehicle charging.

What is the difference between Portable Power Supplies and mobile power?

There is a big difference between the output of an outdoor power supply and a cell phone mobile power supply.

A mobile power supply can provide about 10,000 to 30,000mAh of power by connecting to a smartphone via a type-c cable or the like.

Portable Power Supplies support AC output from household outlets and can support appliances that consume thousands of watts of power, whereas mobile power supplies are unable to power large appliances. The outdoor power supply has a wide range of applications, not only for use at home, but also for a variety of outdoor scenarios, where it can be connected to high-power appliances such as electric grills, fans, mobile refrigerators, and mobile air conditioners.

What is the difference between an Portable Power Supplies and a generator?

There are many differences between generators compared to outdoor power sources in terms of fuel, electricity and noise. It may seem like the same kind of equipment, both for power supply, but in reality they are completely different devices, let’s take a closer look at the differences between them.

First, an outdoor power supply is powered by electricity stored in an electric core, while a generator usually uses gasoline as fuel to generate electricity. Outdoor power supply can charge the built-in lithium battery through solar energy, while the generator does not have the charging function.

Second, generators are more powerful. Generally, generators tend to produce more power than outdoor power sources. However, because specifications vary from product to product, high-performance outdoor power supplies can also provide as powerful as generators, such as LeforEss p703.

Third, outdoor power supply is less noisy. Due to the structure of outdoor power supply, there is no great noise when charging and supplying power, while generators are quite noisy.

Fourth, with outdoor power supply, you can operate without worrying about the surrounding environment. Since it does not emit exhaust gas during operation, it can be used safely both indoors and outdoors. While the generator is fueled by gasoline, it will emit exhaust gas when generating electricity, which is not suitable for indoor use.

Fifth, outdoor power is easier to save maintenance. For energy storage power supply, it is recommended to charge it once every six months, keep the power at 60% to 80%, and put it in a well-ventilated place away from heat and humidity. In the case of generators, if they are not used for more than 30 days, it is necessary to remove all the gasoline. If gasoline is left in them, they may be clogged due to the deterioration of fuel.

Outdoor Power Supply Usage Scenarios

Outdoor power supplies can be used in a variety of indoor and outdoor situations, and we will present some typical usage scenarios for reference.

1. You can use electricity in your RV
If you place an outdoor power supply in your RV, you can use most of your household appliances in your vehicle. For example, a rice cooker or an electric kettle.

By connecting to a socket in your car, you can store electricity in the outdoor power supply, which can run for a long time.

2.using electricity while camping and outdoors
Many people experience problems with running out of power while camping or outdoors, if you use an outdoor power source, you can use your appliances with confidence.

For example, in camping/outdoor scenarios, it can be used in this way: charging cell phones, cooking with rice cookers, playing music with audio devices, etc.; you can connect electric grills, electric fans, mobile refrigerators, mobile air conditioners, outdoor photography; adventure enthusiasts field power, you can connect DSLRs, lights, drones, etc.; outdoor stall lighting power, you can connect flashlights, lights, etc.; outdoor live broadcast power, you can connect Outdoor live broadcasting electricity, can be connected to the camera, audio, microphone, etc.; outdoor construction electricity, such as mines, oilfields, geological exploration, geological disaster rescue and telecommunication department field maintenance emergency electricity;

3. Become an emergency power source in case of power outage
By storing electricity in the outdoor power supply, it can be used as an emergency power source in the event of a power outage.

For example, in the case of a power outage in winter, you can use the outdoor power supply to continue using lights for illumination or electric blankets for warmth. In the summer, a power outage can also use a fan or air conditioner to cool off. You can also use an electric kettle to boil water and a microwave oven to heat up ingredients, so you can still use electricity normally in an emergency.

4. can be used in combination with solar panels to save electricity
By connecting the outdoor power supply and solar panels, the electricity generated by solar power can be stored in the outdoor power supply. With the energy storage power supply for electrical appliances, solar panels for outdoor power supply. LeforEss introduced a foldable solar panels, a single panel can achieve an amazing 400W output.
