The 6 Best Portable Power Stations​ in 2025

March 6, 2025 | Nate Cord

Portable power stations are battery-powered systems designed to provide electricity on the go, and can be an absolute game-changer when you’re camping off-grid, preparing for emergencies, or needing a reliable backup for your devices.

With so many options on the market, choosing the best one can be somewhat overwhelming. That’s why we’ve handpicked the 6 best portable power stations in 2025, considering battery capacity, charging speed, portability, and additional desired features.

But first things first…

How to Choose a Portable Power Station

There are a number of things you consider when choosing the right portable power station for your needs, such as your wattage requirements, your budget, preferred battery type, ideal port options and more general things like brand and reliability.

Let’s look at these in a little more detail…

• Determine what you need to power – Calculate the wattage requirements of every item you plan to charge or run (laptop, iphone, mini fridge, fan etc), and if you want to power multiple devices at the same time, add up their wattages. You should choose a power station that has an output wattage greater than or equal to this total.
• Think about your budget – The price of a portable power station will greatly depend on its battery capacity, features, brand, and extra functionalities. For example, if you’ve got a smaller budget of around £150-£500 will typically get you a compact power station with a capacity of 150Wh to 600Wh, suitable for charging items like phones, tablets, laptops, and small devices like LED lights or fans.
• Consider the type of battery you’d rather – You might also want to think about the type of battery. The most common options are Lithium-ion, which is lighter with a longer lifespan, and faster charging, LiFePO4 which is more durable and safer but heavier, or Lead-acid, which is cheaper but bulkier and has a shorter lifespan.
• Think about the different port options – The ports on a portable power station determine what devices you can charge or run, so the more diverse the ports, the more versatile the power station. Common ports include AC outlets for laptops, small appliances, USB-A & USB-C ports for phones, tablets, cameras and solar charging input for off-grid use.
• Additional features – Beyond power capacity and ports, are there any additional features you would like? Some examples include an LCD display, app connectivity, fast charging, modular power systems and weather resistance, just to name a few.
• Consider brand & reliability – You want to ensure you choose a reliable brand that you can depend on to deliver quality, durability, and long-term support. At Generators Direct, we stock portable power stations from reputable manufacturers and brands like Sherpa, Anker, Acer, Bluetti, and Goal Zero.
