Stay connected in any emergency with portable power

(BPT) - Extreme weather events cast shadows of worry, but modern power solutions can keep families safe and connected

Emergency preparedness is a practical necessity for every household, especially nowadays, as natural disasters hit harder and more often.

The first item on your preparedness checklist should be a well-stocked emergency kit that includes essentials like nonperishable food, water, first-aid supplies, flashlights and batteries. The second item should be a power supply to keep all your tech running at the time when you need it most.

While gas generators have traditionally served as the go-to solution for emergency power, they come with significant drawbacks. They're noisy, emit harmful fumes, require fuel storage and can't be used indoors. This is where portable power stations come in. These handy, compact alternatives offer a cleaner, quieter, more versatile option for keeping your devices charged and essential appliances running when the electricity goes down.

Portable power: Now more vital than ever

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in extreme weather events, underscoring the critical importance of emergency preparedness. From record-breaking heatwaves to increasingly dangerous hurricane seasons to the arrival of 'tornado clusters,' climate-driven disasters have not only torn apart landscapes and lives, they've exposed large holes in our power infrastructure. This makes access to electricity critical - for powering medical devices, preserving food, enabling communication and for heating or cooling.

'As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, we're seeing a rising demand for reliable, portable power solutions,' said Alfonso Chen, CMO at Ampace. 'These portable solutions provide backup power for everything from smartphones to household appliances, strengthening the resilience of every household in the face of prolonged outages.'

A range of solutions to keep you safe

Just as technology constantly evolves, so must the modern emergency-preparedness kit. Beyond the essentials like water and first-aid supplies, experts at Ampace now strongly recommend including a portable power station as part of your family's emergency plan. Today's solutions go beyond simple backup power, offering multiple layers of protection to ensure reliability in any crisis situation.

Modern portable power stations are built to withstand the toughest conditions. They feature sturdy construction to handle rough conditions and weather-resistant batteries designed for outdoor use. These power stations are also smart. They have built-in safety systems that can detect and prevent potential issues before they become problems. Perhaps most impressively, portable power stations from premium brands such as Ampace can provide stable power output even when temperatures plummet to as low as -4°F.

Steady supply for essential electronics

'Whether you're dealing with a storm at home or exploring the great outdoors, staying connected and powered up is a top priority,' says Alfonso Chen at Ampace. 'Portable power makes it easy to keep your smartphones, appliances and other electronics charged while on the go, ensuring constant connectivity and access to crucial information.'

Here are a few more reasons why having a portable power station like the Ampace Andes 1500 is more important than ever.

1: Large capacity. One of the most crucial considerations when selecting a portable power station is its power capacity, which determines how much electricity it can provide from a single charge. Large portable power stations with over 1000Wh can power most household appliances for several hours, making them ideal for off-grid living or back-up power during emergencies.

2: Fast charging. Cutting-edge portable power stations like the Andes 1500 can achieve a full charge in under an hour through wall charging, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, with flexible options to charge through solar panels or a car socket. This can save time when preparing for a trip, or when access to power is intermittent during emergencies. The Andes 1500 offers a superfast charging speed thanks to its A-Boost technology, going from zero to 100 percent charged in as little as 55 minutes - half the time of comparable power stations.

3: Multiple charging options. Modern portable power stations often feature multiple charging options, including wall outlets, solar panels and car sockets, ensuring users can recharge their devices in a variety of situations.

4: Longevity. The latest technology enables significantly extended lifespans, with some units capable of lasting through thousands of charging cycles. The Andes 1500 can run up to 6,000 cycles, twice that of comparable products.

5: Versatility. Many modern portable power stations can power a wide range of appliances, including those with power requirements as high as 3600W. This makes them suitable for various scenarios, from casual outdoor activities to more demanding applications during power outages.

Consumers should consider power stations that best fit their specific needs and circumstances. For example, options like the Andes 1500, Andes 600 Pro and Andes 300 offer different capacities and features to suit various requirements.
