The best ultralight power banks for backpacking balance real energy, low weight, USB-C charging, and weather protection for overnight to multi-day trips
The BLUETTI has twice the rated AC output and solar input. The lighter Anker C300 AC is the better hub for laptop and camera gear.
The EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus is faster and more capable, while the Jackery Explorer 300 is lighter and gives you two AC outlets.

The WOLFBOX TL2000 is the better value and the easier light to pack, while the Devos LightRanger 2000 reaches higher and lights a much larger campsite.
These 600W power stations are nearly twins on paper. The Costco EcoFlow bundle is the better buy for most people, but the lighter BLUETTI is easier to travel with.
