Power Stations

A lithium portable power station is a rechargeable battery pack that delivers AC and DC electricity to power devices like phones, laptops, camping fridges, power tools, and more. Think of it like a silent, portable generator, but one that’s much cleaner and safer. You might also hear them commonly referred to as lithium power stations or portable lithium battery packs.

There are plenty of reasons to invest in one of these handy kits. Here’s just a few of them:

• No fuel required
• No noise or fumes
• Lightweight and easy to carry
• Rechargeable via AC, solar, or 12V car input
• Great for backup power, camping, and travel
• More flexible than traditional generators or inverter generators

Yes, they’re absolutely safe. iTechworld lithium power stations use an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) to prevent overcharging, overheating, and short-circuiting. They’re also safe for indoor use, and we test them rigorously in all kinds of conditions.

If you want reliable power on the road, during blackouts, or at remote sites without needing fuel or permanent installs , then the answer is yes. It's one of the most flexible off-grid power options available and it’s a key reason why ours are considered one of the best portable power stations in Australia.

It stores energy in a lithium battery pack and outputs it as 240V AC or 12V DC power. It can be recharged via solar blankets, wall chargers, or your car.

Think about what you need to power (e.g. fridge, tools, coffee machine), then match it to the power station’s output (in watts) and storage (in amp hours). For example, the iTechworld PS3600 PRO lithium portable power station can power larger appliances for longer periods.

• Small (300–500Wh): Phones, lights, tablets
• Medium (1000–1500Wh): Fridges, laptops, tools
• Large (2000Wh+): Aircon, TVs, heavy-duty equipment

Physically: Up to 10 years depending on use and how well it’s looked after. Per charge: depends on what you’re powering. A 1000Wh station might run a 60W fridge for 16–18 hours.

A power bank charges small USB devices. A portable power station powers everything from phones to TVs to coffee machines via AC/DC/USB outputs. A power station is essentially a more powerful, full-featured lithium power pack.

There isn’t really a right or wrong here, but it depends on what you’re looking for. Power stations, especially iTechworld’s range, are great for short trips, quiet areas, or indoor use. Generators on the other hand, including our inverter generator alternatives, are better if you need constant high-output or are in fuel-available areas. Here’s a quick breakdown: 

• Power Stations: Cleaner, silent, no fuel, portable, great for small/medium devices.
• Generators: Louder, heavier, need fuel, better for long-term power or very high draw.
