Early models were a revelation for those that needed them, but they were also heavy, expensive, and had relatively low power storage an output. Fast forward to today however, and the industry has largely overcome those challenges, offering models in a wide range of sizes, battery capacities, and price points. The best portable power stations are now more versatile and powerful than ever, offering consumers a lot more bang for their buck, too.

EcoFlow Delta 3 Ultra
The latest generation of EcoFlow’s Delta Pro series of power stations continues the legacy of being among the absolute best options for use at home or in an RV. The latest model, the Delta 3 Ultra, delivers outstanding specs and performance in a package that is heavy—74.2 lbs—but still relatively easy to move around thanks to built-in wheels and a heavy-duty handle. It also comes with a battery capacity of 3072Wh and a sustained output of 3600W, which boosts up to 7200W under a heavy load. That’s enough to run practically anything you plug into it, but if you do need extra juice, this power station is compatible with EcoFlow’s expansion batteries, giving it a total capacity of up to 11kWh.
You won’t have to worry about having enough charging ports with this unit either. It comes with four 120V AC outlets, a single USB-A port, three USB-C ports, a 12V DC output port, a 12V vehicle output port, and a TT-30R 3600W AC output port that can power an RV. The Delta 3 Ultra can be recharged using solar, AC home wall outlets, a vehicle alternator, a gas generator, or several combinations of the above. All of these capabilities come in a streamlined, sleek, and durable package designed to go wherever you need it. Add in smartphone app control and monitoring, the ability to use it as an uninterruptible power system (UPS), and a smart battery management system and you get a truly unique and innovative device to meet your power needs at home and at the campsite. MSRP: $2799

Bluetti Elite 300
This space-saving option packs a lot of power into a relatively small space. Billed as the smallest 3kWh power station on the market, the Bluetti Elite 300 delivers a storage capacity of 3014Wh in the same space as most 2kWh units. It offers an output of 2400W (boosting up to 4800W) and comes with an array of ports that includes four 120V AC outlets, a 12V vehicle port, two USB-A (15W) ports, and dual USB-C (100W and 140W PD) ports. Best of all, it also has a NEMA TT-30 port, allowing this small unit to directly power an RV.
So just how small is the Elite 300? It measures 14.41” x 12.01” x 11.71”, which is surprisingly compact considering the performance it delivers. It does tip the scales at just under 58 lbs though, so it isn’t exactly light. But despite its relatively diminutive size, it offers all the features you would expect, including app control, a UPS response time of under 10 milliseconds, and fast charging via AC outlet, solar, or an alternator. MSRP: $1,099

Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus
Portable power stations don’t come much more versatile than the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus. The device itself offers 2kWh of storage capacity out of the box, but can be expanded up to 24kWh using the company’s add-on battery packs. That’s enough to run an entire home for days at a time, including most major appliances. The device offers up to 6000W of power output when properly equipped, and the onboard battery can be recharged via a wall socket, in-vehicle ports, or as much as 1200W of solar.
The sheer amount of flexibility and expandability that the Explorer 2000 Plus offers is impressive. This power station is small and light enough (61.5 lbs) to be able to go with you just about anywhere, yet it can also be used as a backup power option for an entire home. App control, 20 millisecond UPS response time, and fast charging are also notable features, as is the extremely long standby time, holding 50% charge for up to two years even when disconnected. MSRP: $2,199

Goal Zero Yeti 1500
Believe it or not, Goal Zero practically invented the portable power station market more than a decade and a half ago, and today the brand continues to innovate. The Yeti 1500 is an excellent option that occupies a space that delivers plenty of power and versatility, in a design that is still highly portable and built for use in the field. Tipping the scales at 52.75 lbs, this isn’t a lightweight model, but its rugged design, 17 (!) charging ports, and vast range of features make it a serious contender for your dollar.
This model brings a slew of great tech, including LiFePO4 battery chemistry that gives it a lifespan of more than ten years, even with daily use. The unit’s 1505Wh power cell recharges in a little more than an hour and its 2000W output (surging to 3600W) can power everything from smartphones and laptops to electric tea kettles, camp lights, a microwave, and a refrigerator. App control is included, naturally, and the Yeti 1500’s IPX4 weatherproofing helps keep it safe from the elements. MSRP: $1499

Anker Solix S2000
One of the most efficient and affordable power stations on the market, the Anker Solix S2000 is a great option for a wide range of buyers. This unit is powered by a 2010Wh battery with an output of up to 1800W, all in a package that weighs just 35.7 lbs and is small enough to stash in a cupboard. The unit itself can be recharged quickly using a wall outlet, 400W of solar, an alternator charger, or even the 12V port in a car.
While small in stature, the Solix S2000 still comes with plenty of features and charging ports. It is equipped with five AC outlets, one USB-A (12) port, a USB-C 15W port, and a USB-C 100W port. It offers a 10 ms UPS switchover time and can reportedly power a refrigerator for up to 35 hours, which is very impressive considering its size. All of that comes with a very affordable price, too, with the MSRP starting at $699.

Bluetti Elite 320
Another power station from Bluetti’s Elite line earns its way onto our list in the form of the Elite 320. Larger and heavier—the 320 weighs about 75 lbs—than the Elite 300 we mentioned above, this unit remains highly portable thanks to its built-in wheels and telescoping handle. It also comes with a slightly larger battery (3200Wh vs 3014Wh) and has a sustained output of 1800W, boosting to 2700W as needed. Charging ports include four 120V AC outlets, dual USB-A ports, a USB-C 100W port, a USB-C 140W PD port, and a 12V vehicle port.
We love how the integrated wheels and handle make this unit especially easy to move around, and its 1000W of solar input allows it to recharge quickly in the field. As with the Elite 300, this device supports Bluetti’s smartphone app for monitoring and control, and it offers the same 10 ms response time when used as a UPS. But most of all, we love everything that this unit delivers for the price, which is a relative bargain with an MSRP of $1199.

EcoFlow River 3 Plus
If all you need is a compact, lightweight device to keep your important gadgets running while on the go, the EcoFlow River 3 Plus is exactly what you’re looking for. While its specs are rather modest compared to everything else on this list—286Wh storage capacity, 600W output—it is nonetheless a great option for on-the-go charging. The fact that it weighs just 10.4 lbs and is very compact are two major pluses, making this a fantastic option for car camping, short backpacking trips, or just as a convenient solution for use around the home.
EcoFlow managed to squeeze plenty of charging ports into the River 3 Plus, giving it a single 120V AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and a USB-C 100W port. The power station can recharge in less than 1.5 hours using 220W of solar alone, and functions as a UPS with a 10 ms response time. Best of all, this unit won’t break the bank thanks to its $299 MSRP.
Those are our picks for the best portable power stations that are currently available. Any one of these options will meet the needs of the average user, but some are definitely more well suited for RVers and home backup solutions. Each model is also durable, dependable, and offers performance above and beyond most other units on the market, making them all easy to recommend based on your needs.
