Camping & Outdoor
Camping power for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes: compact power stations, expansion batteries and solar charging so you can stay powered away from hook-up.
For a weekend in a tent, a compact power station charges phones, lights and a fan; for caravans and motorhomes, larger units run a cool box, kettle or TV. Add solar panels to recharge on site. See all portable power stations for every size and brand.

How to choose a power station for camping
For a weekend in a tent, a smaller unit of 200Wh to 500Wh will keep phones, lights, a camera and a laptop charged. To run a cooler, fan or small appliances, look at around 800Wh to 1,500Wh. For caravans and motorhomes without hook-up, 2,000Wh or more, or a model that takes an expansion battery, gives you more headroom for longer stays. If you often camp in wet weather, the Bluetti AC60P and AC240P carry an IP65 rating. Add a powered cooler for food and drinks, or browse our caravan and motorhome tech.
Camping & Outdoor FAQs
Q: Can I use a power station inside a tent or caravan?
A: Yes. Battery power stations don't burn fuel, so they produce no exhaust fumes and run quietly. Keep them dry and allow some airflow around the vents.
Q: How do I recharge a power station on a long trip?
A: Use mains hook-up, your vehicle's 12V socket while you drive, or solar panels. For faster charging on the road, see the alternator chargers in our power accessories .
Q: Can I add more capacity later?
A: Yes, on models that support it. The Anker C2000 Gen 2 takes the BP2000 Gen 2, the F3000 takes the BP3000, and the Bluetti B80P and B210P expand the AC180P, AC60P, AC240P and AC200PL.
