Asked By CuriousCat2023 On

I have a 24-inch TV located in the center of the room, far from any power outlets, and I'd prefer not to run extension cords around. I'm wondering if I can use a battery pack to power it instead. If that's possible, could you recommend a specific brand, capacity, or model?

Don’t let outdated advice steer you wrong! There are advanced power stations from brands like Jackery, Ecoflow, and Anker that can keep your TV running smoothly. Avoid basic power banks and opt for something more robust, like Anker's C1000 model.

What you're really after is a UPS, or Uninterruptible Power Supply. These start at about $100 but usually provide around 12 hours of use if you're careful. That said, you'll likely want multiple units for continuous power, which could add up.

If you're looking to power your TV, you need a battery that provides a 120V outlet for consistent power. These devices can be pricey, starting at around $200, and they often won’t last long, so it's worth confirming your TV’s wattage first. Power stations can be more costly, but they can offer the capability you need.

Using a standard power bank for your TV won't work because the power draw is too high. You'd need a battery power station that can handle the wattage, like Jackery units. They come in various sizes, and you'd want one that covers around 300-500 watt-hours for a 24" TV. A cheaper option is Anker's models; for example, their 288Wh model could last about 4 hours if your TV pulls around 65 watts, but it may need some careful planning due to inefficiencies.

I’d recommend physically moving your TV closer to a plug if possible! It might seem inconvenient, but it’s often the simplest solution. Battery options can get complicated and expensive.
