Emergency Power Supply Devices
The power outages can cause more than inconvenience to households, as these can actually cause waste and loss. Stuffs in the refrigerator, for example, can spoil; certain crucial works on computers can be lost. Thus, having emergency power supply devices at home is important.
Following are takes emergency-power products that are raking in a number of views and look-ups in online stores and shopping portals:
“Luggage-sized” power banks
Colloquially called “luggage-sized” power banks, the online pages of high-capacity battery-based devices meant to supply electricity to a variety of gadgets in emergency satiations are getting a lot of attention.
The pages of devices known as uninterruptible power supply or UPS units are among those that were looked up by many. Though mainly designed to provide computer systems with a power source in emergency cases for a limited time (typically somewhere between 10 to 20 minutes), many have come to use UPS units as an alternative power source to charge gadgets like smartphones and rechargeable LED lamps during power outages – with some models even capable of powering portable electric fans.
The online pages of devices known as auxiliary/emergency power systems also garner a number of look-ups, given that these are mainly designed to provide power to a variety of devices during outages – not computer systems.
A product by the Zendure brand called the “SuperBase Pro” on the Indiegogo platform is one example. The device highlights a 2,096Wh battery, fourteen outlets which include six standard AC outlets and four USB-C ports. It also comes with provisions for solar panel charging.
Power-supply devices for “off-grid” excursions
For all intents and purposes, the operational dynamic of power-supply devices for “off-grid” excursions is no different from the regular power bank, except that these can be charged without an electric wall socket.
From solar-powered varieties to those that can be charged with a winch or crank system, these devices were made with “offgrid” excursions in mind, like hiking or camping, and as such, charge their batteries through means other than an AC outlet.
A practical and interesting version of the device is one called the “WaterLily Turbine.” This device is basically a portable power turbine that can harness running water (rivers or streams) or wind as a means to provide power of up to 12 volts. It can also provide power through a hand-crank system, should access to streams or wind be a problem.
