To determine the power consumption of a device (or the power output required from your power station), use the basic formula for electrical power:

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) × Current (Amps)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1.Find the device’s voltage and current ratings. These are usually printed on the device’s label, manual, or power adapter (e.g., “12V ⎓ 5A” means 12 volts and 5 amps).

2.Multiply voltage by current to get power in watts. For example:

•A laptop labeled “19V ⎓ 4.74A” uses 19 × 4.74 ≈ 90W.

•A phone charger “5V ⎓ 3A” outputs 5 × 3 = 15W.

3.Ensure your power station’s capacity exceeds the total power needed. If running multiple devices, add their individual powers (e.g., 90W laptop + 15W phone = 105W total; your power station should handle at least 105W).
