It is quite easy to know whether the power station is suitable for your needs or not. The energy rating of the portable power station is mentioned in the specifications. It shows what devices can be powered and how long any device can be powered. For example, the 1000W power station can power any device with a rated power of below 1000 watts. Secondly, some devices or equipment require instant peak or surge power at the start, and then their consumption is dropped down to the rated power. It is necessary to look at the surge/peak power to know whether such devices or equipment can be powered by the power station or not. The surge/peak power indicates the maximum power the power station can provide. For instance, our 1000W portable power station can provide 2000W of surge or peak power. It shows the devices that need instant peak power of below 2000W can be easily powered using the power station.
