What do you need during a power outage? A Power Bank in your emergency kit!

A power outage can occur unexpectedly, whether it’s for a short period or a prolonged blackout. The question is: what do you need during a power outage to be well-prepared? One essential item that must not be missing from your emergency kit is a Power Bank. In this blog, we’ll explain why a Power Bank is so important and how you can be prepared for any situation with Xtorm products such as Portable Solar Panels and Power Stations.

What do you need during a power outage?

A well-stocked emergency kit is indispensable during a blackout. The following items are essential in an emergency kit:

  • Flashlights or LED lamps: For lighting when it's dark.
  • Emergency radio with manual or solar charging function: To stay updated with important news.
  • Power Bank or Power Station: For charging your devices. This ensures you always have energy when you need it most, whether it’s to charge your smartphone, power a flashlight, or keep a radio running.
  • Basic medical supplies: For first aid in emergencies.
  • Water and non-perishable food: Supplies to last through a longer period.

During a power outage, it is crucial to stay connected and keep your devices charged. Your smartphone, for example, can be vital for emergency communication, while a flashlight or radio helps you stay safe and informed.

Why a Power Bank is essential in your emergency kit

During a power outage, a Power Bank is indispensable to keep your devices charged. An Xtorm Power Bank is compact, reliable, and available in various battery capacities, so you’ll always have just the right amount of power on hand.

With a 10,000mAh Power Bank, you can charge your phone at least twice fully – perfect for shorter emergencies. Need more power? Choose a powerful 27,000mAh Power Bank, which can charge your phone at least five times and even power larger devices like a laptop. This way, you’ll stay connected and prepared, no matter the situation.

Power Stations: More power for long blackouts

Want to take it a step further? Opt for a Power Station – essentially a larger version of a Power Bank. With an Xtorm Power Station, you can not only charge smartphones and tablets, but also power heavier devices like laptops, lighting, and small household appliances. It’s the ultimate solution for longer power outages.

Our Power Stations offer:

  • Versatility: Multiple ports for different devices.
  • High capacity: Enough power to last through longer periods.
  • Solar panel compatibility: Keep charging, even if the power grid is down.

Charging with solar energy during a power outage

What if the power outage lasts longer? In that case, you can rely on our Portable Solar Panels. These compact and powerful solar panels harness solar energy, so you can recharge your Xtorm Power Bank or even a Power Station anywhere. Solar panels are perfect for long-term emergencies.


How long can I power my devices with a Power Bank or Power Station?

Of course, you want to know in advance how many times you can charge your devices to ensure you’re well-prepared during a power outage. How often this is possible depends on the battery capacity of both the Power Bank or Power Station and the device you want to charge.

If you want to know exactly how many times you can charge a smartphone, tablet, or even a laptop, check out our blog: How to calculate the number of device charges using a Power Bank or Power Station? Here we explain everything clearly and provide concrete examples so you’ll always be well-prepared!


A power outage can be inconvenient, but with the right preparation, you don’t have to worry. With an Xtorm Power Bank, Portable Solar Panels, and Power Stations, you’ll be ready for any situation. Visit our website to learn how you can be prepared for a blackout with reliable power solutions.
