Portable Power Stations
Pick a portable power station by battery capacity first: under 500 Wh for phones, laptops and lights on a weekend trip, about 1,000 Wh for a mix of small appliances, and 2,000 Wh or more for long off-grid stays. Then check that its continuous AC output covers the watts of everything you will plug in at once, and that you can carry its weight.
Each list states its selection criteria, and every pick is checked against its maker's page.
