On-Demand Power When You Need It
Your Life Saver Portable Power Source
Hopefully, the day never comes when you need to use a portable generator power inverter, but if it does, then you need to be ready to power up quickly, especially if you have a family to watch over.
If you’re searching for portable power inverter generators that can handle the job of keeping the lights on in a jam, then this list will help you.
Having a portable power source during an emergency means:
- The Family Feels Safe – The lights are on and cellphones stay charged.
- Your Wife Feels Secure – With power, her loved ones aren’t panicking.
- You’re the Hero – It’s only a portable power inverter generator, but it makes a big difference when everyone else is in the dark.
PLUS
- Stop Using Dangerous Gas Lanterns – Take your portable power camping to keep your rechargeable campground lighting charged up.
Electricity Options For Surviving An Emergency
When families have to evacuate because of an emergency, the one significant lifestyle change they’ll encounter is the loss of electricity.
Just because you’re technically off the power grid – it doesn’t mean you have to go without power completely.
We all know batteries are too expensive to store – unless you have rechargeable batteries with solar-powered chargers. And how will they power your K-Cup coffee machine when you’re off the grid?
One thing you can do is invest in gadgets that don’t require electricity at all, like hand-crank radios, etc. But there are other options you can consider – such as solar, wind, water-generated power, or a simple power inverter.
Solar power is the most common option that people think of when they consider moving from dependency on an electric company. Solar panels can be pricey, but they quickly pay you back for your investment.
You can cook with solar ovens, charge your electronics with solar-powered gadgets, and do just about anything that you would normally use with paid electricity. You can either buy solar panels or make them yourself.

Smart Energy Control
Be careful about some of the crude do-it-yourself tutorials. You want things to work on a budget, but you don’t want to put your family at risk with a setup that endangers anyone.
One option, depending on your location and running water resources is to create a hydropower system. You have to have a stream or river flowing nearby that has a nice drop in elevation for it to work correctly.
Wind power is another option. You can install wind turbines that will generate electricity, but you need to live in an area that consistently delivers wind speeds around 9-10 miles per hour for it to work.
Power inverter generators are probably the most accessible emergency power source. They are especially useful for families leaving a disaster in a vehicle. Inverter generators turn 12v DC power into 110v AC power. Many will plug into a 12-volt accessory outlet.
Emergency Power…
With all of these options, you have choices that range from crude, low-power producing products and extravagant products that leave you carefree and fully secure with a working system.
Another thing that each family needs to do is determine how much power they need. You’ll want to cut down on your electric usage – unplug when not in use, turn off lights, etc.
Then you can better choose among the viable options you have to deliver enough power to provide for your family. If possible, make sure you have several choices so that if there’s not a lot of rain, or the water flow gets stifled, or the wind dies down, you won’t be stranded without electricity.

Powerhouse Portable Power Inverter Review Transcript
Hello amazon.com. It’s me bow Sheva – today. I am coming to you on the road because. I’m always on the road with Knox to do this power bank. Is 48,000 milliamp-hours to put that. In perspective that’s about 24. I phone seven and for a typical 15-inch MacBook Pro that’s about five to six charges or battery equivalent. In here now. I would be more conservative when. In fact, you are using this to charge a laptop computer actually. I just pushed on right there and you can see the little display size is a little shiny and. If we were just licking the AC output right there which. Is what you want alternating current the equivalent of plugging. It directly. Into your house and then you would plug. It’s right there. In on the side where. It says AC output now do note that this. Isn’t necessarily designed for hairdryers or anything that sucks a lot and takes a lot of juice um but. If you are just charging let’s say you. iPhone or some camera batteries as. I do with our nonprofit charity studio or just kind of topping off your laptop. I would highly recommend this. I mentioned earlier. I would err more on the side of being conservative with this even though. It says that. It’s about five and a half MacBook pro equivalent. I would say that. It would be more so around three to four full charges on your MacBook Pro simply because there’s a lot of other variables that come. Into play, for example, you would probably be on your Mac as you are actually charging. It so. It’s not directly one-to-one but this. Is the largest power bank. I have ever tested and. I’ve had a lot of different power banks there. Is a little button right there with a flashlight honestly there are two settings? Is that one and then there’s that one. It’s just a gimmick. It’s not that bright. I’d say a scented candle. Is brighter but on the side, over here you will see little USB ports. I can plug this. In and. I’ve been charging me. iPhone all day even though. I could charge. It. In my car but when. I’m doing work out. In the jungles of Sierra Leone. I don’t have any power near me so. I am going to use something like this first. Impressions of this. It’s remarkably lightweight. I thought this was going to be like a car battery. I can throw this around as a matter of fact. I think there’s quite a bit of empty plastic. In there this handle for example which takes up what arguably 30% of the space. Is well. It’s empty. It just feels completely empty so. I wish they kind of trimmed down some of the space but you know that you can tell they’re trying to make. It looks robust and on the bottom, there’s a little sticky pad not super sticky but just to prevent. It is from sliding around too much. In the event that you are. In an earthquake. In Nepal as far as. I could tell. In my test. It does have an auto-off feature so. If you unplug this. It should automatically turn off. In a few minutes or you can just push that and. It will turn off completely to conserve battery space so that’s. It’s my small down and dirty little demonstration and how. I use this personally. Is on the road. I’d highly recommend it. It. If you’re going especially to developing countries where they do not have a good power grid, for example, Asia. I just got back from Cambodia and Nepal and this. Is 110 output basically the equivalent of the United States again don’t use. It is for your hairdryer but over there you would need an adapter to step. It’s down because. It’s twice as powerful over there. In Asia and. I saw so many people try out some of their electronics. It was the worst thing ever. I supposed to have something like this which you’re like yes. It says right there on the bottom AC output 110 volt 60 Hertz and so there you go highly recommended especially for Americans who are traveling. In developing countries anyway hey. I’m going to go. I’m going to go buy a camera right now from a guy named Frank you go by no time you.
These bestselling power inverters are great for people who live obscure lives or in case you need to survive a weather-related disaster.
