Power to Go: Power Stations and Solar Chargers for Campouts and Blackouts

Portable electric and electronic devices enhance our work and play, but only when there’s electricity to power them. There’s a wide range of equipment designed to store power, or to convert solar energy into electricity, to extend the time we can spend un-plugged-in. Whether it’s an extra charge or two for your smartphone, a boost for a navigator in the back country, or portable power stations that permit the use of household appliances and tools during blackouts, B&H has the gear you need. Here are few examples of modern technology serving up power to go.
When the grid is down or when you’re off the grid, you can still plug in your electronics with the GOAL ZERO Yeti 400 Solar Generator Power Pack—an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional back-up generators. The Yeti 400 features two standard 110-volt grounded AC power outlets, two standard USB ports, a 12VDC car-style port and two 6mm 12VDC power ports. Keep it charged up (from house or DC current) and you’ll have 396 watt-hours of power to use when the lights go out. You can top off the lead-acid battery from solar panels if you need to. The power station’s front display panel provides readouts of incoming and outgoing power and battery status in 20% increments for precise power management.
