By the Power Station Chart team, from the makers' printed figures. Last reviewed October 31, 2026.

What this job asks of a station

Capacityat least 1,000 Wh, to keep a fridge, a router and lights going overnight. 54 stations pass.
AC outputat least 1,000 W. 59 stations pass.
Rechargetakes solar, so it can refill while the grid is down. 81 stations pass.
Why these limits

All 81 stations take solar, so recharging during a blackout rules none out, and capacity and output do the sorting. Of the 81, 54 hold at least 1,000 Wh, 59 deliver at least 1,000 W, and 53 pass every limit. Those 53 run from 1,024 Wh to 12,288 Wh, with a median of 2,048 Wh. The EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X sits at the top with 12,000 W, a 61,440 Wh maximum system and 10,000 W of solar input. Two near misses show how narrow the lines are. The BLUETTI Pioneer Na has 1,500 W but holds 900 Wh, and the BLUETTI Elite 100 mini holds 1,004.8 Wh but outputs 700 W.
