Major winter weather is sweeping across the country, hitting 40 states with high winds, ice and heavy snow that may cause power outages. In a storm like this one, the power can go out quickly and unexpectedly, and suddenly charging your phone, keeping a router on or powering a small heater becomes yet another logistical challenge amid the emergency.

That’s where portable power stations earn their keep. They’re quieter and easier to manage than gas generators, they don't require fuel, and they're useful for more than just winter storms — you can take them camping, on road trips or even set one up in the backyard when you need extra power for a project.
