A power station is a large rechargeable battery with wall outlets. When the grid goes down it can keep a fridge, Wi-Fi, lights and phones running without the noise or fumes of a gas generator, and winter storms are when most people find out they need one. Jackery, BLUETTI and ALLPOWERS all sell home backup models. Here are ten of them compared on capacity (Wh), output (W), how fast they switch over when the power cuts out, and whether you can add more batteries, with this week's US prices and the codes that work today.

Ways to pay less on a power station
FAQ
What size power station do I need for a power outage?
Add up the watts you want to run. Keeping a fridge, router and lights going through an overnight outage usually means 1,000 to 2,000Wh; running more for longer means 2,000Wh and up, or a model that takes extra batteries.
Jackery or BLUETTI: which is better for home backup?
It depends on what you need. BLUETTI's AC200L is the cheapest 2 kWh model here and the Apex 300 expands the furthest. Jackery's HomePower 1000 v2 lists the fastest switchover at 1 kWh, and its code takes more off.
Can a power station run a refrigerator?
Most can, if the output covers the fridge's running watts and startup surge. Check your fridge's label. Models with 1,500W or more leave plenty of headroom; check the startup surge before relying on a 700W model.
What does UPS mean on a power station?
UPS mode keeps your devices plugged in through the station and switches to battery when mains power cuts out. Switchover times here range from 0ms (Apex 300) to 20ms (Explorer 2000 v2).
