Portable power station for off-grid use

The APC PPS500 is a 500 W portable power station that delivers 120 V AC from a 517 Wh lithium-ion battery. It provides three NEMA 5-15 outlets, three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports and a 12 V car socket for charging phones, laptops and small appliances away from mains power.

Upgrade from basic power banks

This unit replaces lower-capacity USB power banks that cannot run AC devices or sustain higher loads. The jump is worth it when you need true sine-wave AC output for sensitive electronics or longer runtimes for camping, remote work or emergency backup.

Questions about this item

What are the output connectors on the PPS500?
