The Difference Between Personal Outdoor Portable Power Generator And Power Bank ?
The outdoor generator supply is an outdoor market segment for portable lithium-ion battery energy storage power. The backup power supply or emergency power supply does not exceed 18kg. The lithium-ion battery is used as the energy storage component. AC or DC input charging (such as AC 220V, vehicle 12V), Etc.), the output is AC or DC (such as AC 220V, DC 12V, DC 5V, etc.).
With the emergence of energy storage power, it solves the problem of power supply for drones, outdoor travel teams, and individual players to solve drones, car refrigerators, cameras, laptops, projectors, outdoor lights, mobile phones, etc. The diversified functions of energy storage power supply provide power, lighting and other applications for outdoor use, enriching outdoor life. In the use of earthquake and disaster prevention, it can cope with the needs of power outages, lighting, SOS rescue, etc. This is particularly important in earthquakes, hurricanes, and other harsh natural disasters. However, what does it differ from the power bank?
The difference between the personal outdoor portable power generator and power bank?
220V mobile power and mobile power are called mobile power, and they are all mobile power that can be used outdoors.
The mobile power source is a charging treasure device that supplies charging to electronic devices such as mobile phones; the input and output voltage is 5V.
Outdoor generator, also known as “power bank”. A portable charger that integrates power supply and charging functions, and can be used to charge or standby power supply to digital devices such as mobile phones. Generally, lithium batteries (or dry batteries, less common) are used as power storage units, which are convenient and quick to use.
The 220V mobile power supply is also called an outdoor generator power supply. It is mainly used to provide backup power protection for some important computers or electronic equipment; the input and output voltages are generally 220V.
The 220V mobile power supply is a system device that connects a battery (mostly a lead-acid maintenance-free battery) to a host computer and converts the direct current into a commercial power through a module circuit such as a host inverter. It is mainly used to provide a stable and uninterrupted power supply to a single computer, computer network system or other power electronic equipment such as solenoid valves, pressure transmitters, etc.
When the mains input is normal, the 220V mobile power supply will be supplied to the load after the mains voltage is regulated. At this time, the 220V mobile power supply is an AC mains voltage regulator, and it also charges the internal battery; when the mains is interrupted (In the event of an accidental power outage), the 220V mobile power supply immediately supplies 220V AC to the load through the inverter zero-switching conversion method, so that the load maintains normal operation and protects the load from soft and hardware.
Simply put, mobile power is used to power small mobile devices, while 220V mobile power supplies usually provide protection against excessive voltage or low voltage. Although they are all mobile power, they are very different.
When shall we need an outdoor generator?
Nowadays, more and more young people tend to go outdoor to spend their weekends or short trip outdoors. People like to cook foods and gather with their family and friends.except for the outdoors, when shall we also need a generator? In the Summer season, In the summer, some areas are often attacked by hurricanes or typhoons. People usually face with water cut or power outage, hard to live if some electric devices without electricity. Such as some medical machines, CPAP, usually we can see some people need to wear an oxygen mask to oxygen and breathing in an ambulance.

How To Choose A Portable Outdoor Generator
If you are a distributor, wholesaler or retailer of outdoor generator products, you should know more about customer buying habits and user experience, People tend to buy outdoor generators around major storms, camping emergency or outdoor activity, when they’re prone to making a desperate decision—without a plan for what to do when they get the generator home, working by flashlight, in a rush to get the power up and running, they might skip over critical safety steps during setup, they will meet many problems like the generator can not work well for there big CPAP or the battery power cannot afford some of their household appliances, so let’s expand the topic from the following 3 parts. Of course, considering the environmental protection and renewable source we discussed were all battery power generator but not the gas generator.
Part 1: Basic safety requirements and tips for outdoor generators
Safety requirements:
- Safety Certificates for battery on your generator: PSE, CE, FCC, MSDS, UL
- Power Control System Design on your generator: a safety power control system must contain:
1). Battery charging/discharging efficiency >97%
2). Lifecycles 500~1000
3). Overcharge Safety Function (4.30 ± 0.05 V)
Overdischarge Safety Function
Overcurrent Safety Function
Ambient Temperature of the Battery-Pack During Charge
Low-Voltage protection
Short circuit protection
AC output test
DC output test
USB output test
Machine aging test
- There are two basic power measurements for generators: starting watts (also known as startup power, max watts, or peak power) and continuous or running watts. Starting wattage is required for appliances at startup or when they are running at their highest levels of power consumption. Continuous power is the wattage required for the operation of those appliances under normal load. Both are measured in wattage.
Remember that starting wattage requirements may be as high as three or four times the required continuous wattage. Portable generators offer a higher surge wattage to help accommodate start-up requirements.
Part 2: Where does the outdoor generator usually use on?
Position on end-user, the outdoor generator usually be used on:
- Home Appliance
- Kitchin Appliance
- Outdoor power equipment/tools
- Camping/ Boating/ Tailgating / Recreation gear
Part 3: How to choose the best outdoor generator but not the most expensive?
Choosing a suitable generator is easier than you think and is a great investment for many reasons:
When the power goes out, a generator can keep your house warm or cool, your kitchen cooking, and your computers and phones charging. Assuming you have one.
- Determine wattage needs (deciding what you need (or want) to power for when you get the generator)
Here we suggest you should list your own wattage guide worksheet per your appliance, we have a watts list for your reference:
1). For Home Appliance:
Broiler 1400 watts
Refrigerator/freezer: 500 to 1,200 watts
Washing machine: 1,200 watts
Iron: 1200watts
1/3-hp sump pump: 800 watts
Television: 100-300 watts
10,000-Btu air conditioner: 1,500 watts
Hair Dryer: 1200-1500watts
Vacuum: 700-1400watts
Window air conditioner: 600-1500watts
Table lamp: 150watts
Garden lighting: 40-100w
2). For Kitchin Appliance:
Water Heater:3000-4500watts
Water pump: 1000-2000watts
Toaster: 1100-1700watts
Microwave: 600 to 1,200 watts
Coffee maker: 400-800watts
3). For outdoor power equipment/tools
Chain saw: 1000-1800watts
Circular Saw: 1200-1600watts
Drill: 250-1200watts
String trimmer: 600-1100watts
From above example sheet, we know some big brands consist problems on battery, and the cost most expensive, if you are a distributor, wholesaler or retailer of outdoor generator products, life-lighting is your best choice to improve the defects and develop your own brand, life-lighting focus on RD and Manufacture of energy storage application products(Portable power station, multi-functional camping lantern, LED working Light, outdoor generator) from 2008, 70% of customer from Japan currently, now life-lighting on-going to develop European and American markets, welcome to consulting cooperation.
