An LFP portable power station for blackouts, camping and power tools, supplied and set up with honest advice on what it can run and how it compares with a home battery.
From $1,490 (Supplied and set up), including GST. Indicative starting price: the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.
A portable power station combines a rechargeable LFP battery, an inverter and a set of power outlets and USB ports in one unit you can carry. It can keep essentials such as a fridge, lights, a modem and phones running during a blackout, power a campsite, or run tools where there is no power point. It recharges from a power point, a vehicle or portable solar panels, and it needs no fuel.
Portable power stations start from $1,490 supplied and set up. This is an indicative starting price; the final price depends on battery capacity, output power, charging options and whether portable solar panels are added. The exact model is confirmed in your quote.
We install home batteries too, so we can be straightforward about the differences. A portable power station is flexible and needs no installation, but it does not back up your home's circuits, cannot power hard-wired appliances and holds far less energy than a typical home battery. For many households it is a sensible, affordable backup for a few essentials. For whole-home backup, an installed home battery is the right tool.
Households, campers and tradespeople who want portable backup for essentials such as a fridge, lights, phones and tools without a permanent installation.
Check two numbers: capacity (watt-hours), which sets how long it runs, and output (watts), which sets what it can run. A fridge draws little on average but needs a start-up surge, while kettles, heaters and hair dryers draw so much that they drain a portable unit quickly.
1. Request a quote and list the appliances or tools you want to run, and for how long.
2. We calculate the capacity and output you need and confirm a suitable model.
3. We send a written quote with the confirmed model and any solar panels.
4. We supply and set up the unit and check that it charges and runs correctly.
5. We walk you through safe use, charging and storage.
The price shown is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price and exact model are confirmed in writing in your quote.
Portable power stations must never be connected to home wiring or back-fed through a power point.
Run times depend on appliance loads, temperature and battery condition, and are estimates only.
Manufacturer warranty terms apply to the unit and are provided with your quote.
Backing up home circuits requires an installed home battery or a generator inlet fitted by our licensed electricians.
