A portable power station is a great way to stay powered up during a winter storm. It can provide you with electricity for lights, heat, phones, computers, and other essential items. Depending on the capacity of the power station, it can even power your refrigerator so that your food won’t spoil while you’re waiting for the power to come back on. Make sure to keep it properly charged, and also be sure to read the safety instructions before using it. Our recommendations are power stations from Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. Our own Bill Henderson has first-hand knowledge of how important a power station is in a natural disaster. He used them during hurricane Ian several months ago.
