I built a 1500 Wh portable power station for half the price

When my home office started experiencing frequent power outages during the stormy season, I realized I needed backup power for my work setup. Running a desktop PC along with a laptop and other devices during outages that lasted 1–3 days meant I needed serious juice. After calculating my power needs, I determined I’d need a power station with around a 1500Wh batterycapacity and a 3000W power inverter to handle the startup surge from my equipment.
