DIY Portable Power Station

In this episode of DIY or Buy we will be having a closer look at portable power stations. Those are great for all kinds of outdoor camping or if your garage is not connected to the electrical grid,.....like mine. In the video I will show you how a commercial power station works and how we can create a DIY version which is actually a bit cheaper and can output way more power. Let's get started!

The video will give you all the information you need to create your own portable power station. During the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.
