BALDR Portable Power Station 500W review

REVIEW – Living in the middle of nowhere means that you have to be self-sufficient. While I don't live off the grid, large storms can easily knock out my power for hours. It isn't bad enough that I need a backup generator but I still need to be able to charge phones and lanterns while powering a few lamps for light. So a large portable power station is a necessity. It needed to have multiple output ports and support powering multiple devices at once. The BALDR portable power station 500W fits all the criteria, with multiple ways to charge and an abundance of different output ports means it is super flexible for any type of application. While I was not provided the solar panels for this review, it is important to note that it is compatible with them and can be purchased separately which I’m planning to do. This is another key feature for me as I often go camping in the summer with my family in areas that don't have electricity and we need to be able to charge our lanterns and batteries.

The BALDR portable power station 500W is a large battery capable of powering multiple devices at once.

It is important to note that while it is built rugged, it is not waterproof so using this out on a boat is probably not a good idea. It also cannot power a hairdryer, space heater, tea kettle, or crockpot. This is due to the watts needed to power these types of devices. But these are deal breakers for me.

I am absolutely in love with this little guy. It has plenty of power to keep your devices charged and running yet it doesn't weigh a ton or take up much space. The built-in wireless charger is a great perk to have, you can easily drop your phone on there while it's charging another device for a quick boost of power. For anyone who is looking for a flexible portable power station, the BALDR portable power station 500W is definitely the way to go.
