The best portable power stations of 2024: Expert tested and reviewed
The AC240 thrives in any environment and joins its predecessor, the AC60P, in being a power station that is just as comfortable braving the rain, snow, and relentless dust as it is in the comfort of your home or office.
When it comes to power stations, the AC240 is as well-made and flawless as it gets, and it lives up to all the claims on the spec sheet. As part of this review, I tested the capacity, power outputs, and charge times — and everything passed with flying colors.
Most of the ports are located on the front of the unit: three buttons for controlling the AC, DC, and USB outputs and a bright, feature-packed display with important information at a glance.

The unit weighs over 70 pounds, so it may not be easy for most people to carry it around for long distances. However, it does have handles on either side — resembling an ammo crate — allowing for easier movement by two people if needed.
The user reviews are pretty much what I’d expect to read after using this for a few months. It’s a solid unit, a great performer, but heavy and can be noisy when charging at full power.
