Portable Lithium Battery

Flat phone, warm fridge, no power point in sight? A portable lithium battery gives you reliable power where you need it, whether you're camping, working remotely or heading off-grid. Explore portable power stations in a range of sizes and capacities to suit different gear, setups and adventures.

What Is A Portable Lithium Battery?

On this page, a portable lithium battery generally means an all-in-one portable power station rather than a bare 12V battery. Most units combine a lithium battery, inverter and outlets in one housing. There is also an expansion battery designed to add capacity to a matching power station.

Most units use LiFePO4 lithium iron phosphate batteries, but not every model does. Check the battery type on the individual product page before you choose.

Power Pack, Power Bank Or Power Station?

The names can overlap. A lithium power pack or Portable Lithium Power Pack is often used as a broad term for portable stored power. A power bank usually means a much smaller charger for phones and similar devices, which is not what this range is built around.

A portable power station is the clearest description for most products here: battery, inverter and outlets in one unit. If you want a bare battery to wire into a caravan, 4WD or boat, see the Batteries range instead.

Amp Hours Versus Watt Hours

Amp hours measure battery capacity at a given voltage. Watt hours make it easier to compare total stored energy across different systems.

As a rough guide, watt hours equal amp hours multiplied by volts. For example, a 12V pack rated at 24Ah holds about 288Wh, or roughly 300Wh.

For a portable lithium battery pack, watt hours are especially useful when comparing capacity with the wattage of the gear you want to run. Actual run time depends on both.

Where A Portable Lithium Battery Earns Its Keep

The right unit can provide portable stored power without building a fixed 12V system. Start with what you need to power, then compare capacity, output, outlets, weight and charging options.

Campsite Fridges, Lights And Devices

A portable lithium battery pack for camping can be useful for car fridges, camp lights and everyday devices. Check the power draw and connection requirements of your gear against the power station's specifications.

Many units can charge from mains and solar, while some also support vehicle charging. Check each product page for the charging methods available.

Job Sites, Sheds And Work Utes

For equipment or devices away from a fixed power point, a portable lithium battery pack can be a practical option. With such a broad range of capacities and weights, it is worth balancing how much stored energy you need against how often you will move the unit.

Looking After Your Lithium Battery

Good care starts with the manufacturer's instructions. Use the unit as intended, avoid damaged equipment and check the manual for model-specific charging, storage and operating guidance.

Charging And Storage Habits

Follow the recommended charging methods and do not leave the battery flat for long periods. If the unit will be stored, follow the maker's manual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all routine.

Heat, Cold And Rough Roads

Keep the unit away from extreme heat and check the manual for use in cold conditions. In a vehicle, secure it so it cannot slide around or take unnecessary knocks. Do not use a unit that is damaged.
