Tech review: Zendure SuperBase V portable power station can do almost anything, but it'll cost you

I’ve reviewed a few portable power stations, which are big rechargeable batteries you can use to power your stuff if the electricity goes out or you are away from any sources of power (off the grid).

As the batteries inside these power stations have increased in capacity, and companies have figured out a way to recharge them faster and chain multiple batteries together, these systems have become a viable option for powering your entire home for days at a time. All it takes is a lot of money.

For the last few months, I’ve been testing the Zendure SuperBase V, a portable power station that uses semi-solid-state batteries. The SuperBase V has a battery capacity of 6,438 Watt-hours of stored power and it can provide up to 3,800 watts of power out to your devices. Two SuperBase V units can be chained together to provide an output of 7,600 watts of power. They have the ability to power any single device up to 5,000 watts. The power stations can provide 120-volt and 240-volt power.
