Power station

The service life depends on the battery technology and usage. Modern lithium batteries (e.g., LiFePO₄) often achieve over 3,000 charging cycles—equivalent to several years of intensive use.

Yes! Many models—especially from EcoFlow—can be charged directly via solar panels. This way, you remain completely independent of the power grid, even when on the go.

For motorhomes, we recommend power stations with at least 1 kWh capacity, such as the EcoFlow DELTA 2 or larger. This allows you to easily power devices such as a cooler, laptop, or lights.

Thanks to fast-charging technologies such as X-Stream or X-Boost, modern EcoFlow devices can be fully charged in just 1-2 hours – via mains power or solar.

Most devices are splash-proof, but should not be left exposed to rain for extended periods. A suitable protective cover is recommended for outdoor use.

Yes, many power stations are ideally suited as emergency power supplies. Models with UPS or EPS functionality can automatically take over during a power outage and supply essential devices such as routers, lights, refrigerators, or medical equipment.

The power consumption always depends on the specific device. A coffee machine typically requires between 800 and 1,500 watts and is therefore one of the higher power consumers. A cooler or compressor cooler usually draws between 40 and 120 watts, depending on the model, and often runs for extended periods. A laptop, depending on the type, uses approximately 60 to 120 watts. It's important that the continuous power output of your power station is sufficient for all connected devices and that the peak power output is high enough to easily handle start-up currents or short power spikes.

The actual capacity requirement depends heavily on how long you want to be self-sufficient and which devices you regularly use. For minimalist camping with lights, a mobile phone, camera, and laptop, 300 to 600 Wh is often sufficient. If you also want to run devices like a compressor cool box, coffee maker, or kettle, the requirement quickly rises to 1,000 to 2,000 Wh. For several days without an external power source, power stations with a capacity of around 1,500 Wh or more are recommended to ensure you have enough reserve power and remain independent even in bad weather. A rough guideline is to multiply the power consumption of your devices by the planned usage time per day – this will tell you exactly how much capacity you realistically need.

In winter, the efficiency of battery management and charging technology plays a crucial role. Power stations with modern LiFePO4 cells are particularly well-suited for winter use, as they operate reliably even at low temperatures and have a significantly longer lifespan. A good battery management system also ensures that the cells are protected and optimally temperature-controlled. High charging efficiency is equally important, since less solar energy is often available in cold weather. Models that support both fast AC charging and efficient solar charging offer clear advantages here. If the power station also features an Eco mode or intelligent power control, you can further minimize energy losses and maximize runtime even in winter.
