External batteries with an AC outlet are the best option for the role of an autonomous source of electricity. Unlike ordinary power banks, designed mainly for smartphones, "smart" watches and other electronics, they are able to power household appliances. Such an opportunity will come in handy in emergency situations - in case of a long-term power outage. Such devices are very useful in the country, on trips, at outings, where connection to the power grid is impossible due to its absence.
What are 220V external batteries?
External portable battery with a 200 Volt outletis nothing more than large batteries placed in a protective case. They contain a wide list of ports for various devices. You can charge several devices at the same time.External batteries 220Vmore than 800 charging cycles are calculated, which allows you to use them for at least 2 years. They are characterized by increased power. Some models are able to power such demanding devices as an electric stove, kettle, etc.
Other advantages over standard power banks:
- Fast charging of the battery itself;
- Protection against voltage surges, high temperatures;
- Convenient indication due to built-in displays;
- Some models support integration with the "smart" home system, which allows you to use them as a backup power source.
External batteries for laptops and other equipment with 220V sockets are a good alternative to generators. Unlike the latter, they do not emit harmful emissions, do not make noise, and can be used indoors. Batteries do not generate energy, they only store it. But if you combine them with solar panels, they will allow you to live without electricity for many days, without denying yourself the benefits of civilization. Manufacturers of external batteries produce portable panels that are placed in a bag and easily carried from place to place.
How to choose an external battery?
The market allows todaybuy an external batteryfor any budget and specific needs.
Main criteria:
- Capacity. Indicates how much energy the battery can deliver. The parameter affects how many times a particular device can be charged. Units of measurement -W*h and mAh. Usually, manufacturers write the nominal capacity in the characteristics. It may differ from the real one. This happens because the battery uses internal resources to store and release energy.
- Battery type.The most affordable power banks with AC outlets are equipped with Li-ion batteries. They are designed for 500-1000 charging cycles. LiFePO4 batteries are more expensive, but their service life is 5-6 times longer.
- Power. Affects pluggable devices. If several devices are connected at the same time, their power is summed up. Some batteries supportthe X-Boost option, which allows powering more powerful devices.
- Number of ports.The more interfaces, the more different devices can be connected without using adapters.
- Charging speed.External batteryPower Deliveryprovides faster charging of devices than a conventional battery. But there is one limitation – charging devices must also support this technology. When choosing a 220V battery, pay attention to its charging speed. This parameter is especially important when the electricity is turned off often and there is little time to fill the capacity of the external battery.
Other parameters are optional. For example, if a smartphone supports wireless charging technology, then why not buy oneexternal battery with wireless charging.
