Charges small devices using wall socket-style outlet
My Powkey portable power station does exactly what I want it to do — charge small devices when I donât have easy access to an electrical outlet. The other power banks I own will only charge computers or other digital devices through USB, lightning or other digital ports. I bought this for the wall socket-style AC outlet that lets me charge a wide range of small gadgets. But it also offers two USB charging ports and a DC 12 port (one of those small, cylindrical jacks common on small electrical devices.)
Itâs very compact, somewhat larger than a typical paperback book. The Surface tablet thatâs charging in this photo is smaller than an iPad, so the Powkey (which is closer to the camera) looks artificially large in the picture.
The instructions that come with it arenât great, but the operation is so intuitive that you really donât need them. The main thing to remember is that this is only for small devices â under 65 watts. It will charge a tablet or small laptop. You canât use it for a space heater. Your devices will obviously charge much more quickly if they have battery storage and you charge them when they are turned off. I can charge a small Surface tablet in a little over an hour and still have about 20% of the power stationâs power remaining.
Itâs easy to see how well it’s charging. A display on the front of the power station clearly shows how much power you have left. A side panel contains all the ports and two important buttons. The round button turns on the power station. A white switch must be shifted to âonâ to charge your device. Turn this switch off when you are done to avoid draining the power station. It holds a charge really well in the âoffâ position. I didnât use my power station for more than a week and it stayed fully charged.
In addition to charging your power station from a wall charger, you can charge it from your car using the included âcigarette lighterâ plug. That plug also has an adaptor to convert it to 12 V power.
When I tried the car charger, the power station went from 10% to nearly full in about 3.5 hours of on-and-off driving. It seemed to charge more slowly the first two hours and very quickly toward the end.
The main reason I bought this was to power a cat cam in an outbuilding that has zero Internet. This particular minicam does not use batteries. With the minicam plugged into the power station, I left the camera running on motion detection for 12 hours with a rather active cat. It used about 40% of the power stationâs power in that time (it was not transmitting, just recording to a micro SD card).
I highly recommend this for emergency lights or for situations where you need to temporarily plug in a small device in an area without an outlet.

Lots of bang for your buck
I ended up getting the neon green one, as opposed to the red and black one that I originally wanted because the green one was on sale, but ended up loving the bright green. Feels like a fun toy hanging around my house lol! I got this orignally to see if it might top off my ebike when out in the field and just might need that extra tiny bit to get me home. Come to find out it will actually work with a 2 amp charger. But not with my fast charger. No prob. I also ended up getting a dual batery ebike, and doubt will ever have that problem again, but the charger still lives with me and would easily come in handy if I ever did need it for that reason. All of that being said, this is a super handy charger, primarily due to the hosuehold AC outlet! Most chargers only have usb outputs, and its amazing how much handier having a proper AC OUTLET can be for dang near everything! Yes other power stations exist with AC outlets but they’re usually at LEAST a hundred dollars more. So yes this is easily one of the best bangs for your buck for charging multiple devices, and being super handy in it’s versatility. Also it isn’t too huge or heavy, however I wouldn’t bring it around with me as a portable edc phone charger necessarily, due to it’s size, But I doubt that was it’s intended purpose. This is more of a mini power station that costs as much as an average edc phone charger lol! So you could go to the park or camping and charge a multitude of things simultaneously. Oh ya, I also wouldn’;t use this to run a blender or a drill haha, but again, that wasn’t it’s purpose. However, i don’t doubt you could power a few smaller electronics for a little while. This is meant to be a super versatile, multi outlet charger, and that’s how I use it and it fits the bill to a T!

NIce Compact Unit!!
Nice unit but a bit low on power. Good for phones, tablets etc. Not enough power to hold up modem/router though

Great Value
This portable POWER station is a great buy. Itâs sturdy, adaptable, and easy to use. Perfect for camping trips, emergency prep, or anytime I need a dependable power source. The design makes setup a breeze, easy to use, clear to see screen, compact size and lightweight, itâs easy to transport and store. I used it at a backyard party to charge my speaker and starlink, works perfect and operates quietly. Highly recommend.
love the 110 outlet for devices that do not have usb power source

Worked well for about a month and then nothing –
We got this for its size – it can be stored/hidden in a prop or on stage. We used this in a show for our theatre in Oct and it worked fine to power a single lamp on stage. We tried to use it for our second show to power another prop – this time two lamps and it work. We switched to LEDs so we started to use DC vs AV and the thing just stopped working. We thought it might me our wiring of the LEDs, but now none of the ports will charge and or power anything, Cannot get it to shut off, it will eventually discharge the battery and then it will accept a full charge (very slowly) but nothing else works. Reached out to support -nothing. This may be a fluke and we got a bad one but buyer beware.
Update 12/2 – I heard back from the seller, below, which was unexpected but much better customer service than I had gotten before, thank you.
“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order and would like to offer you a full refund for your purchase. If you would like a full refund: please reply ‘Full refund’.
We hope that you give us another chance. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
powkey”

Reliable power bank
Works well. Long lasting battery and very durable. Unfortunately one of the usb ports has a slight defect. Other than that, it’s quite a reliable source of power for mobile devices.

The battery pack decreased from 100% charged at a rate of 1% drop per second. This means I got 2 minute use out of a full charge.
