Power Station Tools & Calculators

Sort and filter all 103 tracked models by capacity, price, real-world $/Wh, port layout, battery chemistry, and our PowerScore benchmark — then build a shortlist of the ones worth a closer look.

• Filter by capacity, price, chemistry & ports
• Rank by PowerScore or true $/Wh — not MSRP
• Build a shortlist as you browse

Pick up to four models and stack every spec in one aligned table — capacity, continuous and surge output, recharge speed, weight, warranty, and current price — with the leader flagged on each row.

• Up to 4 models, every spec aligned
• Row-by-row winner highlighting
• Live prices pulled in alongside specs

Answer five quick questions about your budget, use case, and how much power you need, and we match you to the best-fit models from the tested lineup — no shortlist required to start.

• Five questions, about a minute
• Matched to your use case & budget
• A ranked shortlist, not a single guess

An index of every head-to-head matchup we publish — more than 5,000 model pairings, each with a full spec breakdown and a clear verdict, so you can jump straight to the two units you are weighing.

• 5,000+ head-to-head pairings
• Full spec breakdown and a verdict each
• Jump straight to any two models

The spec database behind every review — 103 models across 6 brands, 19 fields each. The aggregate figures (median prices, chemistry split, per-brand medians) are public and quotable; the complete row-level dataset is shared on request.

Add up your rig’s real loads — fridge, fans, laptops, water pump — set how many days you run off-grid, and see the battery capacity and solar input you actually need.

• Builds from your real appliance list
• Factors days off-grid and solar input
• Returns a concrete capacity target

Enter your dish model and a station’s capacity to estimate how many hours — or days — it keeps Starlink online off-grid, using the measured power draw for each generation of dish.

• Measured draw for every dish model
• Runtime from any station’s capacity
• Accounts for standby vs active use

Set your CPAP’s pressure and whether you run the heated humidifier, and see how many nights a given battery lasts — the humidifier alone can cut runtime by more than half.

• Models humidifier on vs off draw
• Nights of runtime per battery size
• Flags DC-vs-AC efficiency losses

Choose the essentials you’d keep running in an outage — fridge, Wi-Fi, a few lights, phone charging — and estimate how many hours a given station carries the whole load.

• Fridge, Wi-Fi, lights, medical devices
• Runtime for a full essentials load
• Sizing for multi-hour outages

Enter your panel wattage and sun conditions to estimate a realistic recharge time — factoring the input caps and conversion losses that make lab numbers optimistic.

• Real-world, not lab, charge times
• Accounts for input caps & conversion loss
• Any panel wattage and sun level
