Prepare for a power cut
Size a backup battery for your fridge, Wi-Fi, phones and lighting. Portable stations can power plugged-in appliances, not automatically your house sockets.
Calculate emergency runtimePower cut preparedness calculator
Select essential appliances and a battery size. This is a planning estimate using assumed average draw and 85% usable delivered energy.

Check continuous power output, surge ratings, inverter losses, battery condition and each appliance's actual consumption. Refrigerator compressors draw intermittent power and may need a higher start-up rating.
UK power station comparison
First researched selection. Nominal capacity and prices observed in Amazon UK screenshots on 10 November 2026; prices are not live and may have changed. Product configurations and compliance remain subject to verification.
| ProductThe manufacturer and model of the battery system. Some listings are bundles including extra batteries, so compare exactly what is included. | TypePortable stations have built-in sockets for appliances. Home/balcony storage is designed for more permanent energy storage; UK grid connection must be separately verified. | CapacityNominal energy storage in watt-hours (Wh). 1,000 Wh = 1 kWh. Actual usable energy is lower due to conversion losses and reserve capacity. Bundles may include extra modules. | PriceObserved UK product price for the stated configuration. This is not a live quote; check whether VAT, extra batteries, solar panels and delivery are included. | £/kWhUpfront price divided by nominal stored energy in kWh. Lower is cheaper per unit of nominal storage, but does not account for efficiency, cycles, warranty or installation. | AC outputMaximum continuous power in watts available from AC sockets or the specified inverter output. This is power, not energy: a 1,000 W appliance uses roughly 1 kWh per hour. | Buy / viewOpens an Amazon UK listing or search. Confirm the exact model, bundle, stock and current price before buying.

UK connection & blackout safety
Portable stations should power appliances through the outlets intended by their manufacturer. Never backfeed a home socket with a double-ended cable. Grid-tied solar normally disconnects during a power cut without approved backup equipment. Qualifying UK plug-in solar rules do not automatically validate battery-equipped balcony systems. Consult a competent installer for household-circuit and grid-connected systems.
