As we settle in concrete jungles and create lives indoors, we realize the need for spending time outdoors, exploring nature, and connecting with the earth. Adventure can mean anything from taking a trip to the beach, or camping in the mountains. However, we are too accustomed to our lives at home. That means we rely on electronics in our everyday lives. Electronics help us in cooking, temperature control, entertainment, and much more. 

How can one combine the best of both worlds? Well, there is a way to use all your electronics outdoors. Portable charging stations enable you to bring electricity with you out in nature. Power charging stations come in various sizes with a range of power reservoirs. From 300W power stations that will last you a few hours to 2000W extendable power stations that will have enough power to sustain you for weeks. Dawad is about to launch its own line of portable power stations starting from GoWatts 700. GoWatts 700 comes with 700W of power (like it says in the name) and is the ideal portable charging station for camping that will supercharge your adventures!

What You Need In a Portable Power Station

Potable charging stations come with different specifications and you need to pick the right one based on your usage. You need to consider the power output, the total wattage, the size and shape, the durability, and the number of ports you need. Here is how you can decide on a suitable camping charger station.

The Right Amount of Ports

Each power station has a fixed number of output ports. The usual types are AC plug-in ports that are similar to wall outlets. Then you get USB ports both Type-A and Type-C. The best portable power stations have at least one USB Type-A port that also supports fast charging, which is an added bonus. Many power stations also feature a car charger port that provides DC output. After you’ve figured out which ports you want, make sure there are enough ports to support the electronics you want to bring along. Here, the rule is simple: the more the merrier.

Battery Performance and Output

As we mentioned before, the performance of portable power stations changes with the size of their batteries. The bigger the battery, the bigger the power stations tend to get. So the perfect combination is a compact-sized power station that gives you as much power as you need. While buying power stations, be sure to check the wattage, voltage, and storage capacity (watt-hours). As a traveler, you should think about which electronics you want o bring with you and research how much energy they take up. This will help you decide which portable charging battery will serve you best.

Durability and Safety

Outdoor trips tend to be rugged and nature can be very unforgiving, That’s why your portable power station for camping needs to be resilient and have excellent build quality. The exterior should be able to protect the battery inside the power station from the environment so you can keep your electronics working throughout your trip.

Another crucial factor to look at is charging safety. Batteries that are not designed especially for multi-product usage can harm electronics. The most common issues include overloading and short circuits, which can cause the batteries to heat up. The GoWatts 700 portable charging station provides both overload protection and short circuit protection. It goes one step further and provides pure sine wave current instead of modified AC current, to prevent battery degradation in your electronics.

Making Your Adventure Truly Unstoppable

Charging your power station is crucial to remain prepared for emergencies and to keep the fun going. The best power stations provide multiple charging solutions. For example, the GoWatts 700 provides 3 charging options. 

The first option is a basic wall outlet which is also the fastest charging method for most power charging station. GoWatts 700 also comes with a car charging cable, and you can plug it into the car igniter port to charge while you’re in the car. The third option is the most impressive, which is 25V solar panel charging. By investing in solar panels along with a camping power station, you can take advantage of being outdoors and charge whenever your portable power station runs low. 

Conclusion

We can make our dream adventure come true without compromising on the things we need most thanks to portable power stations. Dawad has specifically designed GoWatts 700 with portability in mind, which is why it is the lightest and smallest 700W power station. Dawad’s goal is to enable you to explore the world. Hence, the motto, “Supercharge Your Adventures!”. You can check out the specifications for GoWatts 700 here.
