Intro: DIY Portable Power Station

In this episode of DIY or Buy we will be having a closer look at portable power stations. Those are great for all kinds of outdoor camping or if your garage is not connected to the electrical grid,.....like mine. In the video I will show you how a commercial power station works and how we can create a DIY version which is actually a bit cheaper and can output way more power. Let's get started!

STEP 1: Watch the Video!

The video will give you all the information you need to create your own portable power station. During the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.
