Overview
About Power 300
Power 300 is the size most households actually need first: enough to keep phones, lights and the internet running for days, small enough to carry in one hand. It uses a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, the more thermally stable chemistry, rated by its manufacturer for about 3,000 charge cycles.
It is silent, produces no exhaust and is safe to use indoors, which a fuel generator never is.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Runtimes are estimates from rated capacity × 0.85 ÷ load. Your appliances will differ; check their wattage.
- Not a furnace or sump-pump solution on its own. Running a hard-wired furnace needs a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician.
- Lithium batteries must not be charged below 0 °C. Store and charge indoors.
- Ships separately by ground as regulated lithium-battery freight. Delivery is not available to PO boxes or to some remote and fly-in communities.

Questions
Will a 300 Wh power station run my fridge?
Not reliably. A full-size fridge needs 600 to 1,200 W for a moment to start its compressor, more than this unit can deliver, and would drain it in three to five hours even if it started. For a fridge, choose Power 1000 or larger.
How does a power station ship?
Power stations hold more than 100 Wh of lithium battery, which makes them regulated dangerous goods. They ship separately by ground courier from our Canadian distributor, usually within 3 to 7 business days, and cannot be delivered to PO boxes or fly-in communities.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes. A battery power station has no engine and produces no exhaust or carbon monoxide. Health Canada advises never running a fuel-burning generator indoors or in a garage, and keeping it at least 6 metres from any building.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
