Cash on Delivery and M-Pesa on Delivery are available on eligible orders.

Backup power for KPLC blackouts

What is the best backup power for KPLC blackouts in Kenya?

For most Kenyan homes, a portable power station with an LFP battery (such as EcoFlow DELTA or BLUETTI) is the best blackout backup: it switches on silently, needs no fuel, runs indoors, and can be recharged from KPLC power or solar panels.

Unlike a petrol generator there are no fumes, no noise and no fuel runs.

Unlike a traditional inverter with lead-acid batteries, LFP power stations last thousands of cycles and need no maintenance.

What size power station do I need for my home in Kenya?

Add up the watts of everything you want to run, multiply by the hours you need them, and choose a power station whose capacity (Wh) is about 20% above that total and whose output (W) is above the combined load.

Example: a fridge (~150 W) + TV (~100 W) + lights (~50 W) + Wi-Fi (~15 W) is about 315 W. For 6 hours that is roughly 1,900 Wh, so a 2,000–2,500 Wh unit is a good fit.

Can a power station run a fridge in Kenya?

Yes. Mid-size and larger EcoFlow DELTA and BLUETTI power stations run a household fridge for many hours, because a typical fridge only draws around 100–200 W once it is running.

Choose a unit whose output is well above the fridge’s start-up surge; DELTA-class models handle this comfortably.

Can an EcoFlow power station work as a UPS during power cuts?

Yes. EcoFlow power stations support pass-through charging and switch over automatically when KPLC power drops, so Wi-Fi routers, desktops and CCTV keep running through a blackout.

Is a power station better than a petrol generator in Kenya?

For home and office backup, yes: a power station is silent, fume-free, safe indoors and has no fuel costs. A petrol generator is only better for very long outages with very heavy loads where solar recharging is not possible.

Solar & batteries

Can I charge a power station with solar panels in Kenya?

Yes. Kenya gets roughly 5–6 peak sun hours a day in most regions, so EcoFlow and BLUETTI power stations can be fully recharged by compatible solar panels in a single sunny day.

How long does an EcoFlow battery last?

Current EcoFlow power stations use LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries rated for 3,000+ charge cycles to 80% capacity — roughly 10 years of daily use.

Does Batteriq deliver outside Nairobi?

Yes. Batteriq delivers across Nairobi and ships nationwide by courier to all 47 counties in Kenya.
