Best small power stations (<500Wh) — camping picks by real value
Sub-500Wh stations are the carry-anywhere class: phone-and-lantern trips, wifi backup, car camping. Weight and ports matter as much as capacity here, but $/Wh still separates fair prices from inflated ones — small units carry the market's widest per-Wh spreads. Ranked by the value score — and in this class the ports and solar columns often separate two otherwise identical picks.
Prices are today's price at each brand's official store, including on-page promo prices where we can verify them (see methodology). Lifetime ¢/kWh = price ÷ (capacity × manufacturer-rated cycles). Methodology.
