Anyone who’s lugged a portable power station to a campsite knows the deal: the more power you want, the heavier the box gets. A company called Nestout thinks they’ve found a better balance with their Portable Power Station 700N, a unit that packs a solid punch without the back-breaking weight.

The Portable Power Station for All Your Gear

The 700N puts out 700 watts of continuous power with a surge up to 1300 watts. That’s enough juice to run a portable fridge while you set up camp, power an electric cooker for lunch, keep a fan going, and still brew your morning coffee. To keep all the modern gadgets charged, it has seven ports. You get two regular AC outlets, a car socket, a high-speed 60W USB-C port for laptops, a standard 15W USB-C, and a pair of USB-A ports for phones, cameras, and other small devices.

Built for the Backcountry

The real deal behind this portable power station is in the small details that show Nestout designed it for the outdoors. Nestout built the 700N with a durable shell, metal side rails, and reinforced corners to handle getting knocked around. A metal frame also keeps the unit up off the dirt and mud. They even added a smart cooling system with a thermistor that automatically adjusts the fan speed based on temperature, plus a removable and washable air filter to keep out dust. When it’s time to pack up, the whole thing goes into an included waterproof carrying case.

The 14-Pound Difference

The best part for anyone who has to haul their own gear might be the weight. At just 13.7 pounds, Nestout says the 700N is over 40% lighter and much more compact than other units with similar power. That’s a huge difference when you’re the one carrying it from the truck to your tent site.

Designed by People Who Get It

It’s a clever piece of kit that seems to have been designed by people who actually go camping. It has the power you need for a weekend off-grid, but without the heft you usually have to accept to get it. For campers and overlanders who want to pack light but still have their creature comforts, the Nestout 700N is definitely one to watch.
