Fergus Halliday from Reviews.org provides a detailed rundown of how the new NRGVault portable power stations can assist with powering through your next blackout...

Australian consumer electronics brand Laser is expanding its shared universe of sub-brands this month with the launch of its new NRGVault portable power stations. 

The first of these is the PV500, which has a 288Whr capacity and a relatively lightweight form factor that weighs in at around 3.8kgs. Square in shape and pockmarked by ports, the PV500 bills itself as a compact power solution you can take on the road or break in a blackout or other power outages.

Armed with two AC outputs, a trio of USB ports and a car socket, the PV500 is capable of keeping your various devices charged if you’re away from a stable source of electricity. The unit features an LCD screen that can help you keep track of how much power you’re consuming, a pure Sine Wave inverter that promises to keep power draw consistent and a LiFePo4 battery that can be charged to 80% capacity in just 90 minutes.

Most of these same bells and whistles can be also found on the larger model in the range, the PV1500. Aside from the price, the big difference between the two portable power solutions is the size involved.
