Portable Power Stations

It depends on what you're running. For charging phones, a laptop, and running a 12V fridge, a unit in the 500-1,000Wh range (like the Bluetti AC70P at 864Wh) will see you through a weekend. If you're also running power tools, a CPAP machine, or a portable air con, step up to 1,500Wh or more. A good rule: add up the watt-hours your gear uses per day, then buy a station with at least 20% extra headroom.

True Gear stocks Bluetti portable power stations, covering a range from compact 500W units right up to 2,700W heavy-duty stations. The range includes models suited to weekend camping, serious off-grid setups, and home backup. Check the collection for current stock and pricing - deals come and go.

Prices vary a lot by capacity. Entry-level units around 500-600Wh start from roughly $500-$800. Mid-range stations in the 1,000-1,500Wh bracket - the sweet spot for most campers and tradies - typically sit between $800 and $1,500. Larger 2,000Wh+ units run from $1,500 up to $3,000+. True Gear regularly runs sales, so it's worth checking current prices on the collection page.

Yes to both. Most portable power stations have a DC input that lets you charge via your car's 12V outlet or Anderson plug while you drive - handy for topping up on the road. Solar charging works through MC4 connectors; you'll just need a compatible solar panel and the right adapter cable. Some Bluetti models also support alternator charging via a dedicated cable, which is significantly faster than standard 12V charging.

Yes. The brands True Gear stocks come with Australian warranties. Bluetti units typically carry a 2-5 year warranty depending on the model. Because True Gear is an authorised Australian dealer, your warranty is backed locally - you're not dealing with grey imports or chasing an overseas manufacturer if something goes wrong.
