Discover how modern portable power supplies are revolutionizing job sites and DIY projects. Learn about key features, industry trends, and how to choose the right solution for your tools.

Why Portable Power Supplies Matter for Power Tools

Gone are the days when workers were tethered to electrical outlets or noisy generators. Today, portable power supplies for power tools offer unmatched flexibility, allowing contractors, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts to work anywhere—from rooftops to remote construction sites. But with so many options available, how do you pick the right one? Let''s break it down.

Key Features to Look For

• Battery Type: Lithium-ion dominates the market due to its high energy density and fast charging.
• Capacity: Measured in watt-hours (Wh), higher capacity means longer runtime.
• Portability: Weight matters! Opt for models under 15 lbs for easy mobility.
• Output Options: Ensure compatibility with AC, DC, and USB ports.
