Planned outages and accidents in the operation of electricity supply forces millions of Ukrainians to think about a backup power source capable of providing their minimum needs during power outages. The best and most progressive choice ischarging stations- rechargeable power supplies with a large number of ports and efficiency in a compact case.
Simply put, this is a "big powerbank" with the possibility of connecting a gas boiler, a router or any other devices to a regular outlet or through one of the USB outputs (with less power consumption than the selected model of the station can produce). The Vnedorognik online store has expanded its catalogcharging stations Anchor priceon them is lower than analogues. He is one of the best manufacturers of chargers and power banks in the world, which has expanded his line of manufactured products with cool portable charging stations that you can buy in our catalog.
For example, let's consider the most used case of using such devices, using the example of power stationsAnchor 521andAnchor 535- the most popular and compact "power banks" for the home.

During a shutdown, the first thing you need is a flashlight and the ability to recharge your smartphone. For this in charging stationsseveral ports with fast charging and an LED panel are provided, capable of qualitatively illuminating almost any room.

The next problem that arises for many Ukrainians -gas boiler power supply(usually they consume from 100 to 200 W). And there are nuances here, because the boiler cannot be connected directly from a gasoline generator, for example. It definitely needs a stable current with a clean sine wave at the output, which is not produced by home generators. But even the Anker 521has a built-in inverter, able to issue the same one you needpure sine wavefor the boiler. And many video reviews on the Internet confirm this possibility in practice. And this is practically the best option for an apartment building, besides, it is compact and easy to use.
The most popular Anker 521 and 535 models produce 200 and 500 watts of power, respectively. And their 256 W/h and 512 W/h batteries are capable of powering a 100 W gas boiler for 2.5 hours or 5 hours, respectively. And all this is practically silent. In addition to the above, thanks to the latest battery technologyLiFePO 4, Anker charging stations are able to actively work after 2, 5, and even 10 years, giving more opportunities for customers compared to similar models from competitors.
