A must have accessory, to charge the Power Station on the go.

**Works with all Hyundai Power Station models.

Solar Panel Size Recommendation:

• Solar charging limits vary by Power Station model, please check the specs of your specific model or ask our team to help.
• Most of our models have a 120w solar charge limit. Despite this, we encourage you to connect a larger solar panel (e.g. 160w) since it can charge closer to the Power Stations charge capacity on a cloudy day
• The power station has an internal charge limit cut off, so there is no risk of charging at a higher rate even when using a larger panel than specified.

Since generators emit carbon monoxide, they require that you take critical safety measures, including running the device outside, at least 20 feet away from any structure.

But in an age when we can charge our smartphones with a battery pack that fits inside a pants pocket, shouldn't there be a simpler way to restore power in the wake of a storm? Or, say, power a campsite without the constant hum of a gas-fueled generator?

Such is the promise of portable power stations, also known as battery-powered inverter generators. Essentially, they're oversized rechargeable batteries—about the size of a countertop microwave oven—that you plug into a typical 110-volt outlet to top off.

Things to know

1. They Take Awhile to Charge
So—assuming you fully charged the battery before a predicted weather event—a portable power station could give you hours of electricity to run a refrigerator or another essential appliance. But once the battery is dead, if you’re without power and minimal sun, there’s no way to recharge.

2. They’re Not All That Portable
Portable power stations are about the size of an average microwave oven, but they're fairly heavy—most in our tests weigh more than 80 pounds. That means you'll likely need an extra pair of hands to lift one into the trunk of your car. Some of the models come with wheels, but not all wheels are large in size, which makes rolling them across a lawn difficult.

3. They Can’t Deliver Nearly as Much Power as Gas Generators
As with their gasoline-fueled counterparts, portable power stations require a transfer switch should you wish to power things such as your furnace, overhead lights, or any thing else in your home that’s hardwired. But while a recreational inverter generator would probably keep the TV and a few lights on for 8 to 13 hours on one tank of gas, you'd see anywhere from 3 to 9 hours of power, under the same circumstances, with a portable power station. And you won't be able to run, for instance, your power-guzzling well pump.

4. Charging With Solar Panels Can Be Iffy and Lengthy
If you're dealing with an outage or you're otherwise off the grid, charging the power station via solar panels is your only option—and that's provided you have good sun and no obstructions.
