If you are planning on a road trip, power banks ain’t going to cut it. You will need a portable power station like the new Aferiy Portable Power Station. If you don’t already know, a portable power station is basically the modern-day generator—minus the gas, fumes, and angry neighbors. Instead of generating electrons, you charge it up first and bring along a box full of stored electricity like a survivalist Santa.
Aferiy’s lineup includes units that are essentially oversized power banks but with enough juice to run much more than a phone or two. Think mini-fridges, lights, laptops, fans, or even a small coffee maker if you can’t survive the wilderness without caffeine. They also come with multiple ports—AC, DC, USB—so you can plug in everything short of a jacuzzi. And yes, they’re also great for emergency use at home during those nasty outages.
The P310 model flexes a monster 3840Wh capacity and 3300W output, enough to keep your cooler humming and your gadgets happy on a long trip. The P210, with 2048Wh and 2400W output, is more compact and ideal for shorter adventures, yet still beefy enough for serious use. Both can be charged with solar panels, giving you the smug satisfaction of harnessing the sun while your friends hunt for wall sockets.
Other brands like Goal Zero, Jackery, and Bluetti have their fans, but Aferiy offers a compelling combo of capacity, portability, and off-grid readiness. Whether you’re camping, road-tripping, or just preparing for the next power outage, having one is basically travel insurance for your electronics.
The Aferiy Portable Power Station is offered in various capacities with promotional prices ranging from US$69 to US$1,399 (U.P. US$99–2,599).
