About ALLPOWERS INTERNATIONAL

ALLPOWERS makes portable power stations and the solar panels that recharge them, selling direct through a European storefront that ships across the continent and into Britain.

What the range covers

The power stations are the heart of it, scaling from small units meant to keep a laptop, a router and a few lights going through an evening, up to heavy machines with enough output to run a fridge, a kettle or power tools on a site with no mains. Folding solar panels pair with them, and at the top end sit plug-and-play home solar kits designed to feed a household rather than a campsite. Expansion batteries, cables and car charging leads fill in around the main products.

Reading the two numbers that matter

Every station is quoted with a wattage and a watt-hour figure, and they answer different questions. The wattage says what you can plug in at once, so a kettle or a heater needs a high one or it will simply trip out. The watt-hour figure says how long it will last, which is what matters for a weekend away or a long outage. Battery chemistry is the third thing to look at: the lithium iron phosphate cells the newer models use last far more charge cycles than older packs, which matters if the unit will be worked hard rather than kept for emergencies.

Where the code is entered

Add the station and any panel to the basket, open it, and use the discount code box before the payment step, then confirm the total has changed. Codes here are commonly written against one named model rather than the whole shop, so a code that refuses is usually meant for a different unit. Bundles pairing a station with a panel already carry their own reduced price and will not normally take a further code on top.

Ordering from the EU store

Prices are in euros and stock ships from within the European Union, so a British order can attract import VAT and a carrier handling fee on arrival. Fold that into the comparison before deciding it beats a domestic seller, and check the mains plug supplied, since a European unit will need an adaptor. These are heavy items, so returns cost real money in postage, which is an argument for getting the size right first time. Discounting is heaviest over Black Friday and through the spring, when camping season is being stocked for.
