Mobile Power Supply for Outdoor & Camping
Whether you are looking for a lightweight power bank for a multi-day hike, want to use self-sufficient power while camping, or prefer a solar charger as a sustainable energy source: the range covers portable battery solutions, foldable solar panels, power stations with 230-volt output and suitable accessories. This way you stay reachable even away from wall outlets and can reliably supply navigation devices, smartphones, headlamps or laptops with power.
Power Banks and Solar Chargers: How to Find the Right Device
Choosing the right backup device depends on the intended use. For day trips and light luggage, compact power banks are sufficient. Those spending several days off-grid will benefit from high-performance models with large capacity or a combination of solar panel and battery pack. For groups as well as for powering cool boxes or laptops, mobile power stations with an integrated socket are the right choice. Pay attention to capacity in watt-hours, charging output and available connections to find the optimal solution for your outdoor setup.
Backup devices are ideal for outdoor fans, hikers, camping lovers and travellers in Switzerland who rely on a dependable power supply while on the go. They are equally suitable for anyone who wants to keep an emergency power reserve at home for unexpected situations. The range offers solutions for solo adventures as well as for family outings and group trips.
Quality, Safety & Charging Performance
With backup devices, it pays to look for high-quality lithium-ion cells, integrated protection circuits against overcharging, short circuits and overheating, as well as weatherproof housings for outdoor use. Look out for certifications and realistic capacity specifications in watt-hours to avoid unpleasant surprises during use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a power bank and a solar charger?▾
A power bank stores electrical energy in a rechargeable battery and delivers it to devices when needed. A solar charger converts sunlight directly into electricity and can either charge devices directly or feed a connected power bank. For extended outdoor trips, a combination of both devices is ideal, as it offers independence from wall outlets.
What capacity should a power bank have for camping and outdoor use?▾
For day trips, power banks with around 10,000 mAh are sufficient. For multi-day trekking tours or camping trips without access to power outlets, models with 20,000 mAh or more are recommended. For groups or for powering laptops and cool boxes, large power stations with capacities in the triple-digit watt-hour range are the right choice.
Can solar chargers be used in cloudy weather in Switzerland?▾
Yes, modern solar chargers also work in diffuse light and overcast skies, albeit with reduced charging output. High-quality panels with monocrystalline solar cells still deliver usable yields even under suboptimal conditions. For Switzerland, a panel with at least 21–24% cell efficiency is recommended to achieve good results even in changeable weather.
How long does it take to charge a power bank via solar?▾
The charging time depends on panel output, solar irradiation and power bank capacity. A 21-watt solar panel can charge a 10,000 mAh power bank in full sun in about 3–4 hours; a 20,000 mAh model takes about twice as long. Under overcast skies, the charging time increases significantly.
Can I also run a laptop or a cool box with a portable power station?▾
Yes, portable power stations with an integrated 230-volt socket or USB-C Power Delivery can reliably power laptops, portable cool boxes and other devices with higher energy requirements. When buying, pay attention to the continuous output in watts and the total capacity in watt-hours so you can estimate the runtime for your devices.
What should I keep in mind when transporting power banks on a plane?▾
Power banks with lithium-ion batteries may only be carried in hand luggage and are not permitted in checked baggage. The capacity must generally not exceed 100 Wh (approx. 27,000 mAh). For devices between 100 and 160 Wh, approval from the airline is required. Check your airline's specific regulations before travelling.
Which accessories are useful for backup devices and mobile power solutions?▾
Useful accessories include solar charging cables with matching connectors, adapters for various device connections, weatherproof storage bags and car charging adapters for the 12-volt socket. Foldable solar panels with integrated USB output and robust outdoor cables with reinforced connectors are also recommended for use in nature.
How do I properly care for and store power banks and solar panels?▾
Store power banks in a dry, cool place and avoid extreme temperatures and complete deep discharge over extended periods. A charge level of 50–70% is ideal for storage. Solar panels should be kept clean and dry – cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth removes dust and dirt that can reduce charging performance.
