The Compact Power Station You Should Have on Hand for Outages and Emergencies (It’s on Sale!)

My whole family lives in Maine, and if you know anyone from that big, northern state, you’ve probably heard how often the power goes out. Whether it’s a light rainstorm or a heavy snowstorm, outages are inevitable. That’s why almost everyone I know owns a power station or generator — it’s practically a Maine tradition to have one handy. I grew up believing it was normal always to be ready for the lights to go out. As it turns out, that’s not how everyone lives!

But power stations aren’t just for occasional power outages and climate emergencies (like winter storms or hurricanes). They’re perfect for so many situations — camping trips, RV adventures, tailgating, and even backyard gatherings. A portable power source can make life so much easier, whether you’re at home or on the go. If you’ve been considering investing in one, I found a fantastic option on QVC: the HALO 2400W Power Station. With its impressive 1800Wh capacity and built-in trolley, it’s a great find. And it’s now on major sale!

The HALO 2400W Power Station, complete with its handy trolley, lets you keep all your essential gear running wherever and whenever you need it. While it’s not technically a generator, as it runs on a rechargeable battery instead of gas, it works a lot like one. With a solid 2400W output and an 1800Wh capacity, this portable power station can power everything from small appliances and medical devices to electronics like laptops, TVs, and smartphones.

It has plenty of ports — four AC outlets, three DC ports, two USB-A Quick Charge ports, a charging pad, and two USB-C PD ports — so you can charge multiple devices at once. How long it lasts depends on what you’re powering, but even things that take a lot of energy (like a fridge) will get a good amount of runtime. To recharge it, just plug it into an AC outlet, car adapter, or a solar panel — full charge takes exactly two hours and seven minutes. And with its floodlights and LCD display, you won’t have to worry about how much battery life you have or not being able to see what’s going on. HALO really thought of everything. 

Whether you’re picking this up for a road trip or as a backup plan for the next big snowstorm or hurricane, the HALO 2400W Power Station is a worthy investment that you’ll definitely get a lot of use out of. Pick it up from QVC while it’s still on sale, and if you’re new to QVC, you can get an extra $15 off your first purchase with code NEWYEAR15.
