Which laptop battery to take with the nature

Summer is in full swing, which means it's time for hiking, picnics and any other type of outdoor recreation. But the question arises: how to power all the devices? After all, it would be great to take with them not only smart, but also high-quality acoustics, some tools, and the like. So today we will talk about what devices will help to replace the massive and complex diesel generator.

Usually in the diesel generators used as portable power sources. These are small power plants that in exchange for fuel electricity issue. Their capacity is large enough to be powered even a country house or replace conventional electrical substation in case of emergency. But what if there is no desire to lug around a bunch of complex, strongly smelling of units and tens of liters of diesel fuel?

You can pay attention to the portable high capacity battery. Today, we try to figure out what it is, and find out to what is necessary to stop the choice.

Anker PowerHouse

This unit has made real furore

PowerHouse equipped four-port USB, capable of replacing standard chargers 5 V or 12 V. However, this is not always enough: for example, many units for charging lithium batteries require 16 V. Rescue the built-in converter, with which through a single outlet, you can use an alternating current. However, at 110 V.

On Amazon Anker PowerHouse costs $ 500, and this is perhaps the only drawback of the device.

PowerOak 400

Perfection portable chargers filled with lithium-ion batteries Samsung. 36,500 mAh output transform virtually any constant voltage (issued through the USB-ports) and 110 VAC (two American type sockets). In this arrangement, all thought out, there is even the possibility of charging from solar panels through a separate entrance. However, the high cost of acquiring clouded joy.

Fiona New Large Capacity

Capacity of this unit (50,800 mAh) is enough to charge the car battery, watch TV or night work on laptop. When the tiny size and weight in the shelf it can supply a current with the following parameters: 5 / 2A, 12V / 2A, 16V / 2 A 19 V / 3.5 A. Unfortunately, the supply of electricity to convert alternating current Fiona New Large Capacity can not, and tokootdachi only enough to charge the gadgets.

KISAE Technology HS800-00

This device is most similar to PowerHouse, but costs less. The whole secret of the fact that only four ports: two USB, and two sockets 110 V. In addition, it is just a massive battery capacity of 40,000 mAh for use as a drive solar energy: it can be connected to solar panels and save electricity for cloudy weather.

Bespereboynik (UPS)

Do not forget that all the familiar bespereboynik also carries a hefty battery. To choose is from what: only rely on the capacity and weight. In the absence of the ports to the output AC plug can always use the conventional charger or motor inverter (DC 12 V AC 220 V).

Variants with AliExpress

In the vastness of AliExpress can find several analogues PowerHouse. Despite the obvious advantages of the latter, for the Russian buyer is Chinese batteries are the most appropriate, because carry a transmitter 220 V AC.

Options are not so much. On sale there are only stable in the aggregate 40 000 mAh (although many vendors write about 140000 mAh) with four ports of DC 12 V, four USB and two outputs 220 V AC. Also pay attention to its reduced counterpart.

homemade battery

The cheapest version of the electric generator (500 dollars plus shipping today do not look as optimistic as three years ago), not so long ago proposed our compatriot.

All that is required - this bespereboynik (UPS) or inverter 12 to 220 V, 10 A diode (D214, D242, D215, D232, KD203 or similar), wires and the car battery 12 V. Battery connect with bespereboynik (more precisely, its stuffing) or inverter. By bespereboynik consumers can be connected to 220 V. And enjoy!

If you need additional ports, the easiest way - to connect to the universal battery charger like iMAX B6 mini or use conventional chargers. But I think, if the reader will be able to make such a generator to supplement this circuit required the output ports will not be difficult for him.

conclusions

Despite a lot of beautiful figures, to the choice of this unit should be treated with caution. Really cool looks and reliably Anker PowerHouse, but due to lack of access to the 220 unit loses the lion's share of its appeal. Its worth taking only if necessary in the campaign Soup can be powered by 110 V AC.

A similar problem and other batteries with western sites. In addition to their cost must be added the cost of shipping. If we consider that to carry the battery from China it is also very expensive, it becomes clear why these units is almost no Russian offline market.

A separate camp is attributed Fiona. Implement capacity to the maximum possible (and by the way, there is a risk to buy a box without batteries). Apparently, there are batteries with low tokootdachey, but the device is considerably cheaper counterparts. And if you only need charging gadgets, why pay more?

In general, I would recommend readers from Russia and the CIS to stay in a homemade version: it's cheap, comfortable enough and quite competitive. But if you are abroad, take Anker PowerHouse, to finally break away from our reality.
