Now more and more young people, outdoor camping activities increase. Either way, it is important to achieve “power freedom” in order to enjoy a high-quality experience. The outdoor power supply is the “power guardian” of a better life. It can easily meet the power supply of laptops, drones, photography lights, projectors, rice cookers, electric fans, kettles and other equipment. It is very suitable for outdoor activities, outdoor camping, outdoor live broadcasting, outdoor shooting, RV travel, night market stalls, family emergency, mobile office and other application scenarios!
How to find the right one for you?
●Look at the type
There are three types of battery for outdoor power supply: ternary lithium battery, lithium iron phosphate battery, lithium polymer battery, all of which are relatively mainstream lithium batteries at present. The batteries used in our products are lithium ion batteries, which have the following benefits:
① high voltage
The operating voltage of a single battery is as high as 3.7-3.8V(3.2V for lithium iron phosphate), three times that of Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries.
② larger than energy
The actual specific energy can be achieved is about 555Wh/kg, that is, the material can reach the specific capacity of 150mAh/g above (3–4 times of Ni-Cd, 2–3 times of Ni-MH), has been close to its theoretical value of about 88%.
③ Long cycle life
Generally can reach more than 500 times, or even more than 1000 times, lithium iron phosphate can reach more than 2000 times. For small current discharge appliances, the life of the battery will multiply the competitiveness of the appliance.
④ Good safety performance
No pollution, no memory effect. As the predecessor of Li-ion, new-type Li-ion battery, lithium battery is easy to form dendrites and short circuit occurs, which reduces its application field: Li-Ion does not contain cadmium, lead, mercury and other elements polluting the environment: a major drawback of Ni-Cd battery with some processes (such as sintering type) is “memory effect”, which seriously restricts the use of battery. But Li-ion doesn’t have that problem at all.
⑤ Small self-discharge
The self-discharge rate of Li-ion fully charged at room temperature is about 2% after storage for 1 month, which is much lower than that of Ni-Cd (25-30%) and Ni-MH (30-35%).
⑥ Fast charging
A 1C charge can reach more than 80 percent of its nominal capacity in 30 minutes, and a ferrophosphate battery can reach 90 percent of its nominal capacity in 10 minutes.
⑦ Operating temperature
The operating temperature is -25~45°C, with the improvement of electrolyte and positive electrode, it is expected to be expanded to -40~70°C.
Security is also higher. It is recommended that you give priority to outdoor power supply of lithium ion batteries when choosing.
●See energy
Buy outdoor power must not only look at the battery capacity, battery capacity can only represent the outdoor power can store battery capacity, and determine the discharge capacity of outdoor power and power function of the core parameter is “battery energy”!
The unit of battery energy is Wh, which refers to how much charge the battery holds or releases. The larger the capacity of the battery, the longer the battery lasts. However, as the battery capacity, the battery weight and volume will be relatively larger.
● Look at weight and volume
Easy travel has become the mainstream way of travel today, so the weight and volume of the outdoor power supply requirements are increasingly high. Outdoor power supply is mainly used in outdoor shooting, outdoor office, outdoor camping. The volume and weight of this kind of group equipment is originally relatively large, so the requirements for outdoor power supply are higher.
● See power
Outdoor short-term digital applications, mobile phones, tablets, cameras, laptops and other outdoor office photography crowd, small power 300-500w, power 300-500wh products can meet.
Outdoor long-term travel, boiling water, cooking, a large number of digital, night lighting, sound requirements, suggested power 500-1000w, power 500-1000wh products can meet the demand. Home power emergency, lighting, mobile phone digital, notebook, power 300w-1000w can see the actual needs. Outdoor operation, simple construction operation without mains power, more than 1000w is recommended, can meet the requirements of general small power operation.
Power reference for common electrical appliances：
✦ 0-300 w
Fluorescent lamp, projector, electric fan, tablet, mobile phone, speaker, computer, etc.
✦ 300 w to 500 w
Electric cooker, car refrigerator, shredder, TV, range hood, hair dryer, etc.
✦ 500 w to 1000 w
Air conditioning, oven, bath bar, microwave oven, large refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, electric iron, etc.
✦ 1000 w to 2000 w
Electric shower, heating fan, water heater, electric heating, air conditioning, etc.
● Watch port
The more types and quantities of outdoor power supply ports, the more powerful the experience of functional use can be. At present, there are AC, USB, Type-c, DC, car charge, PD, QC and other ports in the mainstream of the market outdoor power supply. When choosing, you can choose the port with more variety and quantity, and it is best to have the fast charge function.
●Extra points for outdoor power supply
On top of the above options, some outdoor power supplies have a number of bonus options. For example: with solar panels, continuous battery life guarantee. “Sunburn” and full electricity, such a clean renewable energy cycle is not only more environmentally friendly, but also truly realize the freedom of outdoor electricity. In addition, there are some outdoor power supplies with LED lighting, SOS emergency or custom equivalent plus sub-items, the design is more user-friendly.
In general, the differences between the products on the market provide more abundant travel choices for outdoor people. How to choose a suitable outdoor power supply actually depends on your preferences and needs. Finally, according to the demand to choose a most suitable for their own, is the best outdoor power supply.
