Champion 1638-Wh Li-Ion Solar Generator Power Station
• Model - 100594
DEWALT - 1800 Watt Portable Power Station and Simultaneous Battery Charger
• Model - DCB1800B
EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station
• Model - PST3042
Milwaukee CARRY-ON 3600with 1800W Power Supply
• Model - 2845-20
Ryobi 40V - 40V 1800 WATT POWER STATION
• Model - RYi1802BTVNM
In our testing, we evaluated these units by ripping a 2x6-8' pressure-treated lumber, using a 15 Amp, 120V Corded Delta 10” table saw. One operator made the cuts at a consistent 2 to 3-second per-foot feed rate.
• The Champion boasts a 3200 Watt start-up rating however, this power station was unable to turn on the table saw without tripping an overload warning and forcing a reset of the power station.
• The Ryobi fared a bit better, capable of powering the saw through a slow feed rate but getting overloaded with a higher rate. The Power Station also experienced an overload on one of the startups of the saw.
• The EGO had no issues starting up the saw and supplying power through the slower feed rate. The Nexus did however encounter an overload condition during the higher feed rate passes.
• The DEWALT and Milwaukee performed the best and were able to supply the power needed to rip the wood even at the more aggressive feed rate with no overload conditions.
Performance Test - Run-time Test | Heater - Champion
We performed a run-time test with a 120 Volt | 1500 watt electric space heater and an inline power meter and recorded how long the power stations could power the heater.
• The Champion came in at 49 minutes and the EGO at 45 minutes.
• DEWALT and Ryobi followed with 30 and 27 minutes respectively.
• Milwaukee was last with just under 25 minutes.
Best Price - Winner Ryobi
We scored the portable power station with the batteries we tested them with and included the battery cost.
The Ryobi was the least expensive with a tested price configuration of $1337. The power station can be sold as a kit with (2) 6.0Ah batteries for $899. Additional batteries are $219 a piece. The bare unit price is currently $749..
Price Per Watt Hour - Winner Champion
Champion took top honors in this ranking with a $.92 / Wh value. The most interesting result is that of the EGO station, which was just slightly higher at $1.07/Wh. The EGO had a much better bang for the buck result than the other 3 removable battery platform contenders.
The Ryobi finished in third place with a $.1.55 / Wh value. DEWALT finished at $1.88/Wh, and Milwaukee at $1.96/Wh. These two cost over double the Champion when just considering battery capacity.
Best Emergency Portable Power Station - Winner Champion
The Champion portable power station scored 36 points and was designed as a “ground up,” portable power station, and it clearly shows!
It crushed the other power stations in the features, price, and runtime testing categories.
The Champion is a compact, feature-packed portable backup battery solution ideal for RVing and camping, tailgating, or as an emergency indoor generator during a power outage. As good as it is, it is NOT suitable for job site use.
Best Jobsite Power Station - Milwaukee
The Milwaukee scored 48 points overall beating DEWALT with 56 points. The DEWALT and Milwaukee were clearly both designed to run power tools on the job site. They both crushed the table saw performance test.
Best ALL PURPOSE Portable Power Station | Ryobi
This category is where we chose the winner based on all-around value and usefulness, not solely on score. Ryobi came in second place overall with 41 points. EGO was just one point behind with 42 points.
The Ryobi is very feature-rich, winning the Ergonomics and Features Combined Category. The 40V battery platform is a rapidly expanding exciting lineup from Ryobi and the power station is a great addition.
The Ryobi is the lightest of the stations and reasonably compact. The abundance and quality of the USB ports were a team favorite and lastly, the Ryobi can be paired up [parallel connected] with a gas or battery generator to double its power to 30 amps - something that will get RV users' attention.
Best Value - Winner EGO
Best value is often a popular category as it highlights contestants that performed well at a lower purchase cost.
But the EGO was the second most expensive unit. While that may be true, its the Cost/Watt Hour conversation that really brings the EGO value to the front. The EGO boasted the highest Watt Hour rating with 1680WH, almost doubling that of the Ryobi and Milwaukee. The kit price of the EGO with two 7.5 AH batteries is just $999, and that brings its runtime capability just shy of the Milwaukee, Ryobi, and DEWALT for a significantly lower cost.
