What should I look for when buying a portable power station?

Portable power stations have in recent years become increasingly popular. They are generally small devices designed to power smaller gadgets and appliances. When purchasing a portable power station, pay attention to watt-hours provided. Should you choose, let’s say, a portable power station that has 200 watt-hours you can roughly estimate it will power a 1 watt device for approximately 200 hours. LiFePO4 portable power stations are probably today’s most efficient and durable power packs and are loaded with great features. They are reliable, simple to use and environmentally friendly and come in a range of wattage power to suit your specific requirements. Portable power stations generally range from 300-2000W and come in a variety of lightweight and practical designs.

So can you use a solar panel to charge a power bank?

Whether you live in a sunny climate or somewhere the sun shines occasionally will make very little difference as LiFePO4 power stations will generously store power. As long as there is direct sunlight, a power bank can be charged anywhere using solar panels. If the panels are placed in direct sunlight, they will draw the maximum amount of energy and produce electricity. The solar panels offered convert the sunlight into electrical energy which can then be made available via a 5V USB

output. Outputs of between 2 and 8 watts are available depending on the size and technology of the solar panels. This energy can, of course, also be stored in our power banks in which case the solar panel serves as a charging device for our USB batteries.

What does MMPT mean? (Maximum Power Point Tracking)

To extract the maximum amount of power available from our PV (photovoltaic) or, solar cells, and getting these to work most efficiently is known as MMPT (maximum power point). When a battery becomes low on energy or discharged, the MMPT will extract more current and charge the battery if the charge then begins to lower.

Power Inverters:

Power converters are devices within the portable power station that continue to work at certain wattages to prevent your battery from discharging too quickly. An example would be the Houny HY-1000(1000W) will keep on working under 1150W-1200W until the battery runs low on charge.

What is Triple heat Dissipation?

Let’s think of heat dissipators as cooling products parts that are used for thermal conductivity of metals such as copper or aluminium, etc., and are used in CPUs, power semiconductors, electronic parts, high output LED lights and other products that emit large quantities of heat. Combining heat pipes with a heat receiving base makes heat sink, which allows electronic parts to perform as heat from the heat source that is then spread and radiated efficiently.

What is Aircraft grade aluminium?

Aluminium that has higher tensile strength, elongation, and fatigue resistance is known as aircraft aluminium and is preferable over other more common types of aluminium. Aircraft aluminium refers to the 7 series aluminium alloy profiles, whereas ordinary aluminium profiles are used in our daily production and life. Generally, 6 series aluminium alloy profiles, such as architectural aluminium profiles and industrial aluminium profiles are common. This highly durable aluminium helps to protect and keep Houny portable power stations efficient and safe.

Within the case are separate designs for the LiFePO4 battery, the inverter and a high speed cooling fan, cases tend to be lightweight, highly portable and very easy to store, be that at home, in your mobile home or even your tent while camping.

What kind of battery is LiFePO4?

LiFePO4 batteries are by and large the safest lithium battery type available on the market today. The nominal voltage of a LiFePO4 cell is 3.2V when compared to sealed lead acid, which consists of 2V cells. A 12.8V such as for example, Houny 12.8V 250Ah 3200Wh Deep cycle battery has 4 cells connected in series and all lithium-ion cells are “deep cycle” meaning that they have the ability to be fully charged and discharged. The life of your battery will significantly increase if you keep the depth of each discharge limited to 80% of the rated capacity. Houny also has a large range of LiFePO4 batteries available.

What is UL and what benefits does it ensure?

All Houny portable power stations feature the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) seal of approval. It is one of the oldest safety certification companies in the world today. Certifying products, facilities, processes or systems based on industry-wide standards. They issue over twenty different UL Certifications for a wide-range of categories and products. UL stands for Underwriter Laboratories, a third-party certification company testing to ensure that wire sizes are correct or devices can handle the amount of current they claim to be able to. Also, they ensure that products are constructed correctly for the highest safety levels, thus ensuring your safety.

If you are in the market for a portable power pack, Houny has a range and model that can suit your needs, whether it be as a backup for your home’s power supply or a way of providing essentials while you’re enjoying the great outdoors. We hope that this explains a little better the advantages of a Houny portable power pack and some of the features it is able to deliver.
