⌗ Detailed reviews

Every model in detail.

Capacity, continuous output, ports, and which appliances they are really suited to.

01 · Top backup power
⌗ EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max
2,048 Wh · 2,400 W
Power station · 2,048 Wh · LiFePO4

EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max

The right choice for serious backup power or several days off-grid. 2 kWh keeps router, fridge and lights running for 8 to 12 hours in a power cut. 2,400 W continuous output is even enough for a kettle and an air fryer. 15 ports in total, expandable to up to 6,144 Wh with extra batteries. Solar input up to 1,000 W via dual port.

02 · UPS-capable
⌗ Bluetti AC180
1,152 Wh · 1,800 W
Power station · 1,152 Wh · LiFePO4

Bluetti AC180

The UPS solution: switches over in under 20 ms in a power cut, so even sensitive devices such as aquarium pumps or NAS systems stay supplied throughout. 1,800 W continuous output, 500 W solar input, wireless charging for phones on top. At 17 kg more of a fixed-location unit than a travel companion.

03 · Value for money
⌗ Anker SOLIX C800 Plus
768 Wh · 1,200 W
Power station · 768 Wh · LiFePO4

Anker SOLIX C800 Plus

A power station in the 700 Wh segment. 768 Wh, 1,200 W (1,600 W with SurgePad), 58 minutes full charge, 5 years of Anker warranty. At 10.9 kg portable enough for weekend trips and balcony power plant setups. A solid all-rounder without a premium: the best value for money in the comparison.

Frequently asked questions

What power station size do I need for camping?

For phone, light and laptop, 250 to 500 Wh is enough. A cool box over several days needs 1,000 Wh and more, ideally combined with a solar panel for recharging.

What is the advantage of LiFePO4 batteries?

At over 3,000 charge cycles, LiFePO4 (LFP) lasts many times longer than older lithium-ion batteries, is more temperature-stable and safer: the better choice for frequent use and long continuous operation.

Can I charge a power station with solar?

Yes, most have a solar input with an MPPT controller. A 100 to 200 W panel offsets the daily consumption of a cool box in sun; with little sun, plan for correspondingly more panel area.
