Frequently Asked Questions
Battery power stations store electricity and then provide clean, quiet power without fuel or emissions—great for electronics, phones, lights, and small appliances. Portable generators burn fuel to create power and typically deliver higher output for larger appliances or tools.
Portable generators can run essential home items like refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps, lights, and small window AC units. Higher-wattage models can also power power tools and jobsite equipment. Always check the generator’s running and starting wattage to match your needs.
Start by adding up the running watts of the items you want to power, then account for higher starting watts required by appliances with motors (like refrigerators or pumps). Choosing a generator with a little extra capacity ensures reliable performance during peak demand.
No. Gas- or propane-powered portable generators must always be used outdoors, far from doors, windows, and vents to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Battery power stations are safe for indoor use because they produce no emissions.
Portable generators require periodic maintenance, including oil changes, air filter checks, and proper fuel storage. Running the generator periodically—even when not in use for an outage—helps keep it ready for emergencies.
