From weekend camping trips to off-grid worksites, reliable portable power can make all the difference. Whether you’re running a fridge, charging devices, or lighting up camp, a portable power solution gives you flexibility without draining your vehicle’s starter battery.
But with so many options — from small jump starters to advanced portable power stations — how do you know which one to choose? Here’s what to look for, and why the REDARC GoBlock stands out as one of the most capable systems on the market.
WHY PORTABLE POWER?
Unlike a fixed auxiliary battery setup, portable power:
- Can be removed and used anywhere
- Works across multiple vehicles, at camp, or at home
- Powers appliances, tools, and electronics without touching your starter battery
- Requires no permanent installation

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PORTABLE POWER SOLUTION
Before choosing, consider these key factors:
- Capacity (Ah): Match the size of the battery to your devices and how long you’ll run them.
- Battery Type: Lithium (LiFePO₄) is lighter, longer-lasting, and offers more usable capacity than lead-acid.
- Inputs & Outputs: Look for a mix of USB, 12V and Anderson™ plugs.
- Charging Options: The best solutions charge from mains, solar, and your vehicle while driving.
- Durability: Outdoor or jobsite use requires rugged, weather-resistant construction.
- Ease of Use: Plug-and-play systems save time and remove complexity.
