Can Portable Power Station Handle High Temperatures?

2022-06-08

portable power station is simply a battery in a box with inverters and charge already installed controllers. It means you do not have to go through the hassle of building a battery bank, finding and buying an inverter, rushing for multiple cooling systems, and wiring it all together yourself.

Portable power stations are quieter, safer, and environmentally friendly than generators, but are they operable in the scorching sun and hot weather? Let’s find out.

Can Portable Power Station Handle High Temperatures? 1

Do Portable Power Stations Work In Hot Temperatures?

Yes, they do! A portable power station generator is designed to be used in a wide range of temperatures, meaning there is no need to worry about using a portable battery power station in the sun or during winter. However, you need to take note of certain precautions when charging any power station in high temperatures.

  • Some models are designed to be charged only from zero to 80% of the capacity of their batteries, so you should not overcharge them if you want to avoid damage.
  • If the temperature is hotter than 104° F (45°C), it is best not to use the power station until it cools down.
  • If you plan to use a power station for outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and travelling, make sure you buy a top-rated portable power station that is rated for high and low temperatures. For example, BULLBAT Pioneer 500 is the best-rated product for outdoor use in very high temperatures (above 45 C). This 500w portable power station has its own environmentally friendly and less noisy cooling systems, just like your desktop computer.
  • We recommend charging it indoors or inside a car with no threat of exposure to the cold or rain.

Here are some other preventive measures that you can adopt to enjoy better efficiency of your portable power station:

 

Check The Specs:

Portable power stations can be used in a wide range of temperatures, but each model has specific specs that make it unique under certain circumstances. So, you should make sure that you buy the best portable power station that matches your needs.

Make sure your battery has proper specifications and safety ratings based on high temperatures and whether they are allowed in these zones by law in your area.

Here's why: Most power stations will have an operating temperature range. If the portable power station is outside this range, it could stop working and no longer provide electricity to your device(s).

For example: If you live in a hot place, like Tucson, Arizona, or Dubai, UAE, the outside temperature could be over 113°F (45°C) in the summertime. If your portable power supply's operating range is only 25-40°C (77-104°F) and you leave it out in the sun, let's say where it's 110°F (43°C), you should expect problems!

 

Avoid Overcharging:

Charging your portable power station generator (the best of which come with a car charging cable) is as easy as plugging it into any wall outlet. But it's important to remember not to overcharge the battery—just like your smartphone. When the indicator light turns green on the display panel, your lithium portable power station is fully charged and ready to go!

 

Check the Built Material:

You don't want to be the one who busts out a portable power station in a hot car on the way to a destination only to find it chokes and dies on you. So:

  • Don't buy something that doesn't feel sturdy. A portable electric power station is no place for cheap materials, so don't settle for one that feels like it would break down under pressure (like plastic or low-grade metal). 
  • The weight of the portable battery power station should be substantial enough that it won't collapse if you accidentally drop it on the floor but light enough that you can move it outdoors when the temperature rises significantly.

From our discussion above, you know now that portable power stations can function in hot temperatures, but you need to follow some safety measures for them to work effectively.
