In-depth guides, comparisons and how-tos for power stations, solar and backup power.
EG4 Electronics’ WallMount 314Ah Indoor battery stores about 16kWh in a single 51.2V lithium iron phosphate unit, with 12.86kWh usable at the company’s recommended 80% depth of discharge, according to EG4’s spec sheet (version 1.0.4) and user manual. It replaces the earlier 280Ah Indoor model in the same footprint, adds about 1.7kWh of capacity, and […]
HomeGrid’s Stack’d Series is a modular 48V LFP home battery that scales from 9.6kWh to 38.4kWh in a single stack and up to 576kWh with 15 stacks in parallel, with up to 14.4kW of continuous power from four modules or more, according to HomeGrid’s January 2026 specification sheet. It’s built from 4.8kWh modules that stack […]
Jackery’s Explorer 1500 v2 refills its 1,536Wh LiFePO4 battery from four SolarSaga 100W Air panels in about 4 hours, or about 7.5 hours with two, according to Jackery’s own charging guide updated in September 2026. Solar comes in through two DC8020 ports that each accept 16–60V, with a combined limit of 400W. Jackery is also […]
Swapping an RV’s lead-acid house batteries for LiFePO4 is one of the most popular upgrades among RV owners, and the batteries themselves are only part of the job: the converter, alternator charging, solar controller and battery monitor all need to match lithium’s charging profile. A typical 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery, such as LiTime’s Group 31 […]
EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Ultra Plus brings a 3,072Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 3,600W inverter to the same class the original DELTA Pro defined, while cutting weight to about 74 pounds, according to EcoFlow’s spec pages. The DELTA Pro, still sold today, holds more energy at 3,600Wh and can scale to 25kWh, but weighs about 99 […]
BLUETTI’s EB3A was one of the first budget LiFePO4 power stations to hit the mainstream, and its successor-in-spirit, the Elite 30 V2, keeps the same 600W inverter while adding about 19Wh of capacity, a 140W USB-C port and a faster 10 ms UPS switchover, according to BLUETTI’s user manuals. The EB3A answers with a wireless […]
A solar panel lying flat can lose a meaningful share of its output compared with one tilted toward the sun, and adjustable tilt mount brackets are the simplest fix: aluminum legs that bolt to the panel frame and lock at the angle you choose, typically anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees. The common rule of […]
Anker now sells two very different home battery systems: the SOLIX E10, launched at CES 2026 as a weatherproof, generator-ready whole-home backup that starts at $4,299 with one 6.144kWh battery, and the SOLIX X1, a modular, installer-sold home battery that grows in 5kWh steps, according to Anker’s US product pages and The Verge’s launch coverage. […]
A 600W power station can run almost anything that draws under 600 watts continuously, which covers laptops, a Starlink Mini, a CPAP, a mini fridge, LED lights and a TV, but not a standard microwave, hair dryer or space heater at full power. The two most popular 600W LiFePO4 models, BLUETTI’s Elite 30 V2 and […]
The right camping power bank depends less on brand than on three numbers: watt-hours, weight and the ports your gear uses. Nitecore’s NB10000 Gen 2 stores 38.5Wh in a 150-gram carbon-fiber shell for ultralight trips, while Anker’s SOLIX C200 DC packs 192Wh of LiFePO4 and a 140W USB-C port for car camping, according to each […]
