Give the gift of endless power in this holiday season.

Today, no one wants to stay away from the power source-with a powerful portable power station, no one has to. The small, user-friendly cousin of large generators, the portable power station is one of the gifts that everyone can use but may not invest in their own technology.

If you know that someone is trying to live off-grid in the wild or on the road in a van, then the power station will be the most popular and intimate gift. They are also very suitable for people who worry about emergency power at home during power outages or inclement weather. There are stations built for almost all power situations-you just need to know what to look for.

We collected some of the top power stations on the market and subdivided them by battery capacity, power outage, and design. You don't need to know exactly what someone will use it for, but it is important to understand roughly how much electricity they need and where they will use the power station before buying.

Don’t power the entire camp? This Anker power station is an excellent off-grid companion for short trips.

Anker Powerhouse II is specially designed for shorter off-grid travel and emergency power supply for small equipment. The 777Wh battery can easily charge mobile phones and laptops and other charging devices or small home appliances for a period of time. Take it on a camping trip, charge your phone to take pictures, light up a rechargeable lantern, and inflate the air cushion. It supports solar panel add-on components, so you can set it up to power your travel for a while with a small investment.

This may not be the most powerful battery on the market, but it is rugged and one of the most durable in design. The rounded, reinforced corners mean it can roll wherever you decide to set it up in the camp.

A small but powerful portable power station with a capacity of 882Wh.

The Delta Mini weighs less than 24 pounds, but it is the smallest power station in the EcoFlow Delta series. With a battery capacity of 882Wh, the ability to continuously output 1,400 watts, and output flexibility, this little guy is a great choice for a little extra power around the garage, a camping companion, or short-term emergency power.

With a capacity of 1,534Wh and an extremely portable design, Explorer 1500 is a rugged mid-range power station.

Jackery Explorer 1500 has a rated power of 1,800 watts and a battery capacity of 1,534 watt-hours. It can power important tools, large electrical appliances, or charge electric bicycles and the like. It weighs 35 pounds and is not the lightest battery (although the built-in handle helps), but it is perfect for traveling off-grid or staying mostly stationary at home.

If you plan to use this station as a more continuous power source, pair it with some Jackery solar panels.

This is one of the best 2kW portable power stations on the market. It also looks cool.

With a battery capacity of 2,000Wh, a rated output power of 2,000W and 17 output ports, the Bluetti AC200P is powerful and value for money. The power station uses LiFePo4 batteries with a life cycle of approximately 3,500 charging cycles, blowing most power stations out of the water. Of course, this also means that it is a bit bulky, weighing only over 60 pounds. Whether this is worth trading is up to you.

Performance aside, this is easily the most user-friendly and well-designed model on the market. It looks very stylish, and the LCD screen makes charging no longer need to guess.

This monster power station is designed for outdoor adventure and emergency preparedness.

Yeti 1500X is one of our favorite outdoor recreational power stations. Its sturdy appearance survives even in your campervan settings, and its 1,516 Wh battery capacity is ideal for short-term emergency power supplies and for charging various tools and accessories outdoors.

The price of zero-target equipment is high, but the company's quality and on-call support are worth it. If you don’t ride too hard, a power station like this will last for several years.

Delta Max has an impressive battery capacity of 2,016Wh and can be expanded to 6,000Wh with additional battery connections

EcoFlow's Delta Max is an absolute tank and a fantastic off-grid power solution. It pushed the portable tag with a weight of 48 pounds, but the result was worth the increase in volume. It has a deep cycle solar cell with a capacity of 2,016Wh, a shelf life of more than 12 months, and can easily handle power supply equipment up to 3,400W. Charging is also very fast-it is reported that it can charge up to 80% of the battery in about an hour, and you can shorten the charging time by adding compatible EcoFlow solar panels.

This Yeti model is equipped with a power supply that is very suitable for home backup power and long-term off-grid travel.

If someone wants to try to live off-grid or is looking for emergency power for their home, Yeti 3000X is the ultimate power station gift. This solar generator is very large (but because these wheels are still technically portable), it has a battery capacity of 3032Wh and an inverter that supports 2000W continuous power output and 3500W surge power.

If you purchase an additional home energy storage kit from Goal Zero, the power station can be directly integrated into your home power system to back up important circuits.
