Portable power stations under 15 lb (2026)

Each value is what the manufacturer states on the linked page. "Not stated" means the maker's page doesn't list it. Ordered by weight, lightest first.

All six use LiFePO4 batteries according to their makers. The weight range is narrow, 7.4 to 13.9 lb, but capacity more than doubles across the list, from 230 Wh to 576 Wh. In this size class every extra pound buys you capacity: the two heaviest units, the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500 and the OUPES Exodus 700, hold roughly twice the energy of the three lightest.

AC output is the other real difference. The VTOMAN FlashSpeed 300 and OUPES Exodus 350 are rated at 300 W and 350 W, which covers phones, laptops, camera batteries, lights and small fans. The BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 and EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus are rated at 600 W, and the Exodus 700 at 700 W, which leaves room for a small appliance as long as its label stays under that figure.

• If every pound counts, for example on a walk-in campsite → the VTOMAN FlashSpeed 300. VTOMAN states 7.4 pounds for 230 Wh. Its AC outlets are rated "Continuous 300W, Peak 600W", so it suits electronics rather than appliances.
• If you want small and light but with more AC headroom → the BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 or the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus. Both are rated at 600 W continuous and hold 286 to 288 Wh at 9.48 and 10.4 lb.
• If you think you may want more capacity later → the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus. EcoFlow states it is "Expandable up to 858Wh with a wire-free connection" using its extra battery, sold separately. BLUETTI states the Elite 30 V2 "does not support battery expansion".
• If you want the most energy under 15 lb → the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500 (499 Wh, 13.2 lb) or the OUPES Exodus 700 (576 Wh, 13.9 lb). The Exodus 700 has the higher AC rating, 700 W against 500 W.
• If you will recharge from a small solar panel → any unit here that states a solar input. The OUPES Exodus 350 and Exodus 700 accept 240 W, the EcoFlow units 220 W and the BLUETTI 200 W. VTOMAN does not label a solar input for the FlashSpeed 300 on its page.

A note on runtime: divide the battery capacity by the watts of your device for a rough upper limit. A 230 Wh unit gives a 20 W device at most about 11 hours by that division; a 576 Wh unit gives it at most about 29 hours. Converting battery power to AC uses some energy, so plan for less.

• The watts of what you will plug in. Check the watts on the label of each device or charger and add them up. Heating appliances such as kettles and hair dryers are usually labelled with far higher watts than phone or laptop chargers, and may need a larger unit than any on this list.
• Whether you need AC at all. All six units here have AC outlets, which you need for anything with a wall plug. If you only charge phones and tablets over USB, the AC rating matters less than the capacity.
• How you will recharge it. Every unit charges from a wall outlet. If you will rely on the sun, plan the panel around the unit's stated solar input and buy the panel separately; a larger panel than the input accepts won't recharge it faster.
• Whether the weight includes what you carry. The weights above are the maker's figures for the unit alone. Cables, a bag and a panel add to what you carry to camp.

6 of the 29 portable power stations we catalogued (as of October 27, 2026) have a maker-stated weight under 15 lb, and this list includes all six: two from EcoFlow, two from OUPES, one from BLUETTI and one from VTOMAN. One more unit, the BLUETTI AC200L, has no weight we could read on its maker's page, so it is not on this list. The next lightest unit we catalogued is the Goal Zero Yeti 700 at 20.3 lb. We list each power station without solar panels; panel bundles are separate products.
