The popularity of the portable power station is growing day by day and this is due to a mix of social, economic and political variables that have caused many families to find a perfect answer to your needs. Therefore, in this article we would like to talk about all the uses that you can give to a portable power station because maybe you will find one or more reasons to start being part of the BLUETTI community that uses renewable, green energy and efficient.
Solar station, mobile charger or portable power station. No matter what you call it, in the end we are referring to the same thing: a small or medium-sized device that has a rechargeable battery through photovoltaic energy. In this small definition that we have made, we cannot forget that these devices also include a great variety of output ports that will allow us to charge almost any device email that interests us.
Main benefits of portable power stations
The growing popularity of these devices is directly related to the large number of benefits that they can bring to a family unit, both to the physical space (the house) and to the play space (excursions, vacations, etc. ) Among its benefits we can highlight these four:
1. Versatility in its use
As we said at the beginning, one of the characteristics of a portable power station is that it has different output ports so you can connect cables of different voltages. You will find that in the same solar station you can charge from common peripherals such as mobile phones, tablets or watches with 12 volt USB, to more complex devices such as a blender, small fridge or 220 volt computers. For example, one of the most popular models is the BLUETTI AC200P which has up to 13 outputs for carry.
2. Energy reserve for times of emergency
Another of the most acclaimed features of this type of mobile charger is that it can be a lifeline in times of emergency when we do not have access to the electrical network. Fortunately, we can find a wide variety of sizes and capacities. In this case, we will have to be selective and plan our purchase well because if we want a solar station that serves as a backup system at home in case power goes out, we will surely have to opt for a large portable power station. On the other hand, if we want it for moments of emergency on trips, excursions or colonies, you may have to opt for a smaller model. For example, at BLUETTI there is a small mobile charger ideal for carrying in the car or van: EB3A which weighs 4.6 kg . And, on the other hand, there is an ideal domestic battery to put at home and use as an SAE (Energy Storage System) of the home: EP600 + 2/B500.
3. Gives possibilities in off-grid areas
As you may have already deduced, another of the great benefits of these devices are all the possibilities offered to the user to have energy in places that are completely off the grid such as cabins, mountains, boats, excursions, etc. This feature has made many travelers in the camper world consider having a mobile charger that allows them to travel for several days and others, for example, have made their dream of having an off-grid cabin come true. In fact, in the Youtube BLUETTI community, you will be able to find many examples of people who have used a portable power station to make their dreams come true.
4. Saving time and money
Lastly, the most reasonable and practical benefit is that a solar station saves many families time and/or money. As for saving time, we mean that in this type of device we can charge several devices at the same time. Also, when we are traveling for example in a motorhome, if we run out of power we can connect to the portable power station instead of traveling to a charging point. On the other hand, in terms of economic savings, it is the most obvious and that is that if our solar station is charged for free with solar panels, the peripherals that we connect will have energy at “zero cost”.
What uses can I put to a portable power station?
Now yes, we are going to see some examples of uses that we can give to a portable power station. And it is that once we are clear about what a mobile charger consists of, it is about getting creative and thinking about getting useful energy. Below we give you some examples that are the most used by our users so that you can be inspired and decide on your next solar station.

Camping out
A portable power station allows you to spend several days camping completely off the grid. For these cases, the ideal is to have a mobile charger that is light but with enough power to charge mobile phones, watches, cameras, lights, a refrigerator, a stove, and any other device that makes your experience more satisfactory. As usual in a camping experience, you don't usually take too many things, so a small portable power station like the BLUETTI EB3A or the EB55 that weigh 4 and 7 kilos is more than enough.

Emergency cases
The social, environmental, political and economic situations that have occurred in recent years have made many families decide to have a solar station as a solution in a time of emergency. For example, the most common concern among our users are blackouts that can occur at the least expected moment. In families with small children or dependent people, this event, which for others could only be anecdotal, becomes an emergency scenario for them. Therefore, having a charger with which to accumulate energy is not unreasonable. For these cases the best options could be, for example, the BLUETTI EP600, AC200P or the AC500, all of them combined with backup batteries , are a perfect solution to power your home in emergencies.

Van trips
Undoubtedly one of the most popular plans among BLUETTI users are van trips. There are more and more families who decide to discover the nearby territory and do it aboard four wheels. This popular alternative takes a lot of planning and a lot of expense that is unseen from the outside. One of these is the electricity or battery that the camper van needs to be functional. And it is that in addition to the battery that it needs as a vehicle, it also requires electricity for the devices that make it possible for a family to live such as stoves, refrigerators, connectors, fans, showers and, in short, any other device that is necessary for the daily travellers. For this reason, a BLUETTI solar station has become popular as it is the perfect balance between power and comfort: the AC200P. This mobile charger allows you to connect many appliances and devices at the same time, and it can also be charged in the sun while we make a stop.

Work
Now that teleworking is a reality in many companies, the portable power station has also become a solution for those people who have high energy demand for their work. Either because they want to save money and charge some devices for free or because they want to work from places where there is no electricity like the mountains or a van. In any case the BLUETTI AC200Max or the AC300

Savings in consumption
Finally, saving has been the keyword for many customers to end up deciding on a portable power station. And it is that in Spain we are living a historic moment in terms of the rise in the price of electricity and families have seen an increase in the monthly cost of electricity. This event, in addition to hurting the family economy, has also opened the doors to products such as solar stations that allow you to generate energy totally free. In this way, much of the consumption can be done from the mobile charger instead of connecting to the home network. Which translates into a reduction in the total cost of the electricity bill.
