Mine was dead handy for taking places with me, but it’s dying.

    I really only need it to keep my phone charged when we have a power outage or we’re camping for a few days or to give my steam deck a boost if I’m on a long journey. The bigger the capacity you go for and with the more bells and whistles you have, the more things there are to go wrong and the more you pay.

        Nah they’re all simple. The basic specs I listed are just that, the devices themselves are completely straightforward, almost too much so. Literally just a single button to wake it up and flip between screens that show input/output values and remaining charge. Power stations will also have buttons to turn on/off AC and DC outputs separately.

        The thing you pay more for is charge capacity in Ahr (they like to list mAhr as it has extra 000) and input/output power in W.
