In recent years, with the emergence of various forms of outdoor activities such as self driving, outdoor camping, island survival, off-road exploration, hiking, and night fishing, more and more people have been attracted to experience natural life outdoors.
Unlike the traditional outdoor trips of “wind dining and camping” and “ascetic monk style” in the past, with the help of modern technology development and solar energy technology, our outdoor trips have become more refined.
With the dual support of solar photovoltaic power generation technology and outdoor energy storage technology, the problem of “electricity anxiety” caused by electronic devices has also been well resolved.
Outdoor power supply, solving common equipment power consumption problems
Outdoor power supply can greatly extend the service life of equipment and fully solve the problem of short power consumption time for medium and small power appliances. The outdoor power supply capacity is generally at least 300Wh or above.
The power bank has limited capacity and is suitable for one person to bring their phone outdoors. It supports various electronic devices, making it convenient and safer to use. If selecting an onboard inverter, the vehicle needs to be in a starting state and consumes fuel.
It can also be used when the car is turned off, but in case the battery runs out, it will be troublesome and may even harm the battery. This method is acceptable as an emergency. Diesel and gasoline generators have high power and high noise.
And both types of oil have restrictions, so if something unexpected happens, it becomes even more dangerous. So this is not taken into consideration. Overall, outdoor power supply is the best choice.
Pain points in outdoor power supply selection
① Security
There are three reasons for charging safety hazards. The B-grade battery+battery protection function is not perfect and lacks fault-tolerant technology+charging management lacks fault-tolerant technology. Unreliable outdoor power sources are equivalent to a significant source of danger.
② Weight
Large size, not easy to carry. Some major brands have introduced high-frequency resonance technology, which can effectively reduce volume by 30% -50%, but the total weight must be above 5 kilograms.
③ Workmanship
The shell is fragile and uses engineering plastic, which is prone to collision, falling, and breakage. Many miscellaneous brands and some large brands also have this problem. A relatively sturdy and reliable protective cover is required for outdoor power supply.
④ Fever
Fast heating, low inverter efficiency, and the use of engineering plastic casing results in poor heat dissipation. A large number of cooling holes have to be opened to increase fan heat dissipation, causing loud noise and dust and water vapor erosion of the internal circuits of the product, leading to safety hazards and reduced product life.
Two charging methods for outdoor power supply
① Charging method: mains (charging at home)
At present, there are some large brands that can charge within two hours, but there are some small brands that only infinitely increase battery capacity. However, if battery management is not done well, it will take a long time to fully charge it.
② Driving charging/solar panel charging (outdoor)
If you spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, or in outdoor environments like RVs, solar panels are still necessary. When purchasing outdoor power supplies, different brands will have a set combination: outdoor power supplies+solar panels (price will increase)
