Portable power stations: prices in Canada

A portable power station is a big rechargeable battery with outlets: no fuel, no fumes, quiet enough to run indoors. Public Safety Canada’s emergency kit advice is to be ready to look after yourself for at least 72 hours, and to have chargers for your phones because the power may go out. Below are the power stations (Jackery, EcoFlow and others) Price Tracker Canada checks at Canadian stores, with the price now and the lowest price in the last 30 days.

How to size one

Two numbers matter. Capacity in watt-hours (Wh) is how much energy it holds; output in watts (W) is how much it can deliver at once. The output has to cover everything you plug in at the same time; the capacity decides for how long.
Hours ≈ Wh ÷ watts. A 1,000 Wh station running a 100 W load lasts roughly 10 hours, a bit less in practice because the inverter that makes household current uses some of the energy. Add up the watts on your devices’ labels before you pick a size.
The fridge is the usual reason to go bigger. Health Canada says an unopened fridge keeps food cold for about 4 hours, and a full freezer keeps food frozen for about 48 (a half-full one about 24). A station that can run the fridge for a while every few hours stretches that; check the fridge’s label for its watts.
Check the spec sheet: the charge cycles it’s rated for (LiFePO4, lithium iron phosphate, models usually list more), how fast it recharges from the wall, and whether it takes solar panels for a longer outage.

Questions

Can I use a portable power station indoors?

Yes, that’s the point of one: it’s a battery, it burns no fuel, so it gives off no exhaust. A gas generator is different and has to run outdoors, away from the house.

Jackery or EcoFlow?

Both sell stations from small (a few hundred Wh) to whole-home sizes. Compare the same numbers for both: capacity in Wh, output in watts, rated charge cycles and recharge time, then the price here against its 30-day low.
