Quick sizing rule

W × h × 1.15 = Wh

Add up the watts of what you want to run, multiply by the hours you need, then add 15% for inverter losses. That’s the minimum Wh to look for.

How we score

Specs first

Every number comes from the manufacturer or independent lab tests, and we note when the two disagree.

Same yardstick

Radar scores use fixed ranges, so a new model is measured exactly like the ones already listed.

Real reviews

We read expert reviews and owner reports and summarize what keeps coming up, good and bad.

Best portable power station for home backup in 2026

A 1 kWh LiFePO4 power station is the sweet spot for most homes: enough to keep a fridge, router, phones and a CPAP going through a typical overnight outage, light enough to move between rooms, and quiet enough to run indoors.
