• USB output
• 5521 output
• Car cigarette light outlet

In an emergency, a portable power station generate power to light the bulb, drive the cooker and even supply power to the ventilator.

A flashlight with batteries is the light that can help you move around at night. A flashlight that with batteries can be charged by solar panel charger or portable power station.

When it comes to an emergency, a flashlight can even used as the SOS signal and you may get others’ attention to protect yourself.

Almost all the solar panel chargers are compatible with most of the solar generators in the market. They are usually portable and light weighted, then you can take it around.

For example, the port for iPhone is different with the one for Samsung, even the output port can be USB, but the input port is much different.

If you bring portable power station with you, and charge it with solar panel, a MC4 to Anderson connector cable or MC4 to 5525 connector cable is needed. And for your appliance output, you will have to bring a cable with USB connector or a cable with 5521 connector with you.
