Portable power stations are all about balance. You need something that has enough juice to recharge your gadgets multiple times. You need something with enough ports to let you charge multiple things at once. You need it to actually be portable.
Laser’s PV1500 offers a nice balance of power, ports, and capacity for a portable power station. It does everything it needs to well, offering plenty of connections, both inputs and outputs, to take with you on a camping trip, or as a partner on a work site.
But the portability feels a bit awkward here. The integrated handle – while convenient for carrying – is awkward for packing away for a road trip. And the PV1500 feels heavier than it looks.
Still, it’s also one of the more affordable options on the market for its capacity, making it a solid option. Let’s see how it breaks down.
