A portable power station comes in roughly three sizes: about 300Wh, about 1kWh and about 2kWh. Pick the size first, then the brand. The tables below set Jackery, EcoFlow, BLUETTI and Anker side by side in each size, using the capacity, rated AC output and weight each brand states for its own model.
Every figure in the tables is the brand’s own, taken from its product page, not a number measured on this site, and nobody here has handled these units. This page makes no promise about how long any model will run a given device. Runtime depends on what you plug in, so use the load list guide to total your own devices.
How to read the tables
- Capacity (Wh) is how much energy the battery holds. A larger number means more stored energy and usually more weight.
- Rated AC output (W) is the most the AC outlets are rated to supply at once. The watts of everything you plug in at the same time should stay under it. Surge ratings and boost modes are separate numbers; the continuous vs surge watts guide explains the difference.
- Weight is the brand’s stated weight for the power station alone. Where a brand lists only kilograms, the pound figure here is converted.
- Battery is the cell chemistry the brand names. All of the models below use lithium iron phosphate, listed as LiFePO4 or LFP depending on the brand. The LiFePO4 vs lead-acid guide covers why that matters.
About 300Wh: a small station for phones, laptops and a router
This size is the one to carry from room to room. It suits phone and laptop charging, lights and small electronics. The phones and laptops roundup compares picks for that job, and the 500W vs 1000W guide helps decide whether to stay small.
| Model | Capacity | Rated AC output | Weight | Battery | Amazon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jackery Explorer 300 v2 | 288Wh | 300W | 8.16 lb (3.7 kg) | LiFePO4 | Search Amazon for Jackery Explorer 300 v2 |
| EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus | 286Wh | 600W | 10.4 lb | LiFePO4 | EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus |
| BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 | 288Wh | 600W (1,500W lifting power) | 4.3 kg (9.48 lb) | LFP | BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 |
| Anker SOLIX C300 | 288Wh | 300W (600W with SurgePad) | 9.1 lb | LFP | Anker SOLIX C300 |
The four are close on capacity, so the difference is output and weight. EcoFlow and BLUETTI rate their small units at 600W, double Jackery’s and Anker’s 300W, which matters if one device draws more than 300W. Jackery’s Explorer 300 v2 is the lightest of the four at 8.16 lb, and EcoFlow’s RIVER 3 Plus is the heaviest at 10.4 lb. Jackery’s Explorer 300 v2 has no exact Amazon listing in the data read for this page, so the row uses a labeled search link.
Anker also sells the SOLIX C300 DC, a DC-only model with no AC outlets. The row above is the AC version.
About 1kWh: the most common whole-home-essentials size
A station near 1,000Wh is a common starting size for a short list of home essentials. The 1kWh-class roundup ranks four of these for a basic home list, and the DELTA 3 Plus vs Jackery 1000 v2 comparison goes deeper on two of them.
| Model | Capacity | Rated AC output | Weight | Battery | Amazon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 | 1,070Wh | 1,500W | 23.8 lb (10.8 kg) | LiFePO4 | Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 |
| EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic | 1,024Wh | 1,800W (3,600W surge) | 12.1 kg (about 26.7 lb) | LFP | EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic |
| BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 | 1,024Wh | 1,800W (2,700W lifting power) | 25 lb (11.5 kg) | LiFePO4 | BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 |
Jackery gives the most capacity here at 1,070Wh and the lowest rated output at 1,500W. EcoFlow and BLUETTI both state 1,024Wh and 1,800W. Anker’s 1kWh models are not in this table because the Amazon listings for the C1000 Gen 2 in the data read for this page were bundles with a solar panel, a cable or a bag rather than the station alone. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 review covers that model on its own.
About 2kWh: bigger loads and longer plans
A 2kWh station is heavier, so it tends to stay in one place. Larger loads such as a refrigerator or power tools draw more at start-up, so read the refrigerator backup roundup and the 1000W vs 2000W guide before choosing. The Jackery HomePower 3000 vs EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 comparison looks one size up.
| Model | Capacity | Rated AC output | Weight | Battery | Amazon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 | 2,042Wh | 2,200W (4,400W surge) | 39.5 lb (17.9 kg) | LiFePO4 | Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 |
| EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max | 2,048Wh | 2,400W | 50 lb (23 kg) | LFP | EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max |
| BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 | 2,073.6Wh | 2,600W (3,900W lifting power) | 53.4 lb (24.2 kg) | LiFePO4 | BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 |
| Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 | 2,048Wh | 2,400W (4,000W peak) | 41.7 lb (18.9 kg) | LFP | Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 |
Capacity is nearly identical at about 2kWh, so weight and output decide this tier. Jackery is the lightest at 39.5 lb and Anker follows at 41.7 lb; EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max and BLUETTI’s Elite 200 V2 weigh 50 lb and 53.4 lb. BLUETTI states the highest rated output at 2,600W. The EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max is an earlier model than the DELTA 3 line, and EcoFlow’s own US store showed it as sold out on October 5, 2026, so confirm availability before you plan around it. EcoFlow also sells a newer DELTA 3 Max in this size; it is not in the table because its brand page could not be read for this update. The solar panels roundup and the expansion battery guide cover adding to a station later.
What to check before you buy
- Add up the watts you will run at once. Check each device’s label and compare the total with the rated AC output, not the surge number. The set-up guide walks through a load list.
- Check that the outlets match your devices. Some models, such as Anker’s C300 DC, are DC-only and have no AC outlets at all.
- Plan the recharge. Wall, car and solar charging differ by brand and by model; the charging options guide lists what to compare.
- Connect it safely. Read the circuit safety guide before powering anything beyond plug-in devices. A portable station is not a substitute for a generator in every situation; the inverter generators roundup covers that alternative.
- Match the exact listing to the model. Brands sell the same station alone and in bundles with solar panels, bags and chargers. The links above go to the station by itself. A bundle listing is a separate Amazon page.
How the models were chosen
The models are current Jackery, EcoFlow, BLUETTI and Anker stations with a product page and an Amazon listing that was new and in stock when the listing data was read on October 19, 2026. Where a model had no exact new, in-stock listing, the table uses a search link and says so. Brands change specifications, bundles and availability, so confirm the details on the listing before you order.
