able to charge your smartphone and laptop during load-shedding.<\/p>\n<p>The average laptop has a wattage of 65W, while smartphones generally use between 10-100W depending on the model \u2013 so 300W is more than enough to power both a smartphone and a laptop with wattage to spare.<\/p>\n<p>The 231Wh battery can charge a laptop with a 65W charger for nearly four hours, a smartphone with a 35W charger for over six hours, and both a laptop and a smartphone for nearly three hours<\/p>\n<p>You can also use this power station to run other smaller electronics simultaneously \u2013 such as your Wi-Fi router, which could run for almost an entire day on this power station\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n<p>This will keep you entertained while waiting for Eskom to turn the lights back on.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you could charge two standard laptops and two smartphones at the same time \u2013 all through this single power station.<\/p>\n<p>Because 300W is more than enough to charge several small electronic devices, Romoss has equipped this power station with no less than five outlets, including a 230V South African 3-pin plug, a 60W PD port, two USB ports, and a car socket port.<\/p>\n<p>It can then be recharged through a wall plug, solar panels, or even your car\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n<p>For unrivalled versatility when keeping your small electronics powered during
