Collection: Battery Generator

You can also charge battery generators using solar panels, which some generators have, but bear in mind some battery generators will need a separate solar kit to hook them up to solar power. Also, of course, using solar may take longer to charge the battery, but it 's a clean option and can be ideal if you are far away from any electrical outlet. Furthermore, if there is plenty of sun available, then it will cost less to run the generator, even if the initial outlay to purchase it may be higher. At Outbax, we can get you the power you need to have a few home comforts on the road or keep your phone charged in an emergency at home.

How to choose the right battery generator?

One of the most popular types of battery generator now is a lithium battery-powered generator. Lithium battery generators are lightweight due to the size of the lithium battery pack, so they are easily portable, and some are so small they can be carried in a backpack. This might be the ideal generator if you are looking for a small generator for camping, especially if you want to be using it somewhere off the beaten track and you don 't want to be carrying a load of equipment.

You might want to choose a battery generator if you want to use the generator inside. In this instance, a lithium battery-powered generator would be ideal. This is because battery generators don 't produce carbon emissions which fuel-powered generators do. The production of carbon emissions means you cannot use fuel-powered generators indoors, as they must be in well-ventilated areas. Therefore, a battery generator would be a good choice for use as a generator for a caravan, for example.

A battery generator is going to be silent too - it doesn 't make a noise like a fuel-powered generator, so it would be the right kind to choose if you need to be mindful of how much noise you are going to be making. You don 't want your noisy portable generator for camping to disturb people near you at the camping site. If noise is an issue, you might also consider an inverter generator as they are quieter than conventional fuel-powered generators as well.

What appliances can a battery generator run?

Battery generators are likely to have USB ports for your phone cables, for example, and AC outlets for

different devices. However, what you can actually use them to run depends on the wattage of your battery generator. A small consumer unit will have the capacity to run a few small devices such as a phone or a portable speaker. If you want something for larger appliances such as a fridge, you will need a much larger wattage, such as a 2000w generator. You can also make use of this device as a battery backup for home appliances. Therefore, wattage is important to keep in mind when you are choosing a battery generator. Suppose you are using many tools. In that case, it is possible that a fuel-powered generator such as a petrol generator will give you more power and for a lower cost, and therefore it may be a better choice. It 's also important to keep in mind that some appliances require a lot of power to get them started and run them continuously.

How long does a battery generator last?

When considering a battery generator, it 's important to think about the length of time it takes to charge - usually around 8 hours - and that if you are out of charge out in the middle of nowhere, and there 's no sun for your solar, then you are out of power. Then, once it is charged, it depends on what you are running on it as to how many hours of power you can get from it. However, you can expect to get a few hours of power in general. Overall, the total lifespan of a battery generator depends on the type of battery it uses, with lithium batteries generally having longer life cycles.
