Most portable power stations can store power, have a handle to lug them around with, and have a variety of options for charging and discharging. We have seen them all around here and after reviewing
managed to raise the bar in just about every way. It’s packing six AC power ports, a load of USB power ports up front, a beautiful display, with the front of the device looking super clean and retro in a cool green paint job. Turning the unit on lights up a crisp display, packed with information and relevant graphics in an easy to read format. It’s bright enough to read in the sunlight without being overpowering in a dark room.
The rear of the unit features ribbed slides and robust wheels while the side hosts 6 AC outlets and a covered 12v outlet.

More than just looking at numbers, it was nice to have the ability to simply flip on the app and turn off the AC or DC circuits versus having to walk up to the unit. Granted it’s not the largest of inconveniences, but it does open up some new possibilities for use cases that wouldn’t otherwise exist.
The primary use cases for portable power stations today is as a home backup power supply for and for providing power in remote situations like RVs, camping, small off-grid applications and the like. We are increasingly seeing portable power station companies stepping into a slightly more professional setting with kits that actually install into vehicles.

Understanding “New Power”Power clearly isn’t what it used to be. We see Goliaths being toppled by Davids all around us, from the networked drivers of Uber to the crowdfunded creatives of Kickstarter. But it’s difficult to understand what power actually is in this changed world, and how to gain more of it. Two fresh voices to HBR—Jeremy Heimans, cofounder of Purpose and Avaaz, and Henry Timms, director of the 92nd Street Y in New York—offer a framework for organizations seeking to effectively use the two distinct forces of “old power” and “new power.” Old power, the authors argue, works like a currency. It is held by few and is zero-sum. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it. New power actors differ from old power players along two dimensions: the models they use to accumulate and exercise power and the values they embrace. Some enterprises, like Facebook, have new power models but don’t seem to embrace the values; others, like Patagonia, have new power values but wield their influence using traditional old power models. This big-picture piece examines the underlying dynamics at work and looks at how power is really shifting: who has it, how it is distributed, and where it is heading. HBR Reprint R1412B
