Do you need a portable laptop power bank for charging your camera on the go? If you’re taking cameras, laptops and a smartphone off-grid or somewhere you can’t guarantee mains power then the 70mai Power Station Hiker 400 ($399/£322) is for you. One of the smallest and most portable power stations available, its combination of ins and outs – and particularly its two AC mains outlets and ability to be refueled via a solar panel – make it a versatile alternative to a smartphone battery.
The 70mai Power Station Hiker 400 offers the equivalent of 378Wh. That’s no match for super-serious portable power stations like the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X (which offers 1,516Wh), but it’s much closer to the EcoFlow River Max (576Wh). However, that’s only 21,00mAh, and with a lot of pocket-sized portable batteries now reaching 10,000mAh it need to offer something extra. Here’s how we got on with the 70mai Power Station Hiker 400.
