One of the lessons we keep learning repeatedly is that it can be a mistake to count on always having easy access to power. From natural disasters like hurricanes or wild fires, to shutdowns because of construction or accidents, to outdoor activities like camping, there’s not always an electrical outlet when you need one. And we need power more than eve. That’s why it’s a great idea to own a portable power station.
Apollo Portable power station is a rechargeable battery-powered generator. Equipped with AC outlet, DC carport and USB charging ports, it can keep all your gear charged, from smartphones, tablets, laptops, to CPAP and small appliances, like fan, mini coolers, electric blankets, etc.
We have used this power station when camping, hiking, or road tripping, it has helped us to always be prepared. Especially in today’s digital climate, having a sufficient supply of energy to charge all of our electronics and personal devices is critical. One ultra-convenient tool for mitigating a potential disaster is this simple portable power station. This portable power station is the perfect solution for smaller-scale charging duties. It charges our RV or camper, so we can stay technologically afloat even in the most precarious situations.
Pro of using the Apollo power station:
• Charge all our electronics with one device: charge all of our electronics as well as multiple devices simultaneously.
• Convenient size that’s easy to travel with: It’s compact and lightweight. It can easily be packed away in our vehicle, RV, or trailer to bring with you on long trips.
• Fully rechargeable: are completely rechargeable via any outlet, car adapter, or cigarette socket lighter. Just make sure you can charge at your campsite or that you have a sufficient charge before heading out on an overnight trip.

CONS:
• I have being using it for a year and it works perfectly; I don’t have any issue so far. . I only wish it had an extra plug instead of one.
Overall, the Apollo PowerStation has a very streamline, solid look and feel. For the power it puts out, it is pretty light. It is small enough to fit on the floor of a truck or car, or just about anywhere inside a motorhome.
The bright LED light on the side of the unit is a nice addition. I used it on a couple of occasions to light up a picnic table at our campsite while I used the power station to cook dinner on an electric range.
The LCD display is easy to read and displays a graphic of how charged the battery is as well as the current charge in percentage. It displays the watts (power) going into the power station and going out. This is a nifty feature since it has pass-through charging—the ability to be used while charging.
The first word that came to mind when I was pulling the product out of the packaging was “compact.” it is designed for portability, it looks durable. It has USB quick charge ports, so it is possible to charge a phone or tablet directly from the PowerStation.
Charging with a 120V outlet is by far the fastest charging method for any portable power station. I charged my power station with my generator whenever it was on. There is no sense letting all the generator power go to waste when I can store some of it for later.
I found that using a combination of charging methods allowed me to use the portable power station and keep it charged throughout the day. We were camping in August and September, so the temperature was not exactly cold. Along with charging our phones, we were able to run our 120V fan off the Apollo PowerStation. This served two purposes. The first was to keep air circulating, so the RV stayed cool as long as possible, and the second was to remove that power drain from our house batteries.
Cooking and outside power
Cooking outside is one great aspect of wilderness camping. I don’t always want to start a fire, and grilling everything at once will get old. Sometimes I want cooked bacons and eggs in the morning or make my amazing homemade burger for my family. I was able to use the Apollo to power my portable hotplate cooktop and cook skillet, toaster and use the coffee maker from a picnic table. Doing the same task with my RV’s inverter or generator would require a long cord.
