FAQ

Clear answers to the most common questions about portable power stations, charging, delivery, returns and everyday use at home or on the road.

General

What does VoltReady™ sell?

VoltReady™ is an online retailer of portable power stations, compatible solar panels and backup power accessories supplied from UK stock.

Do you install or wire systems?

No. VoltReady™ does not provide installation services. All products are customer-operated, plug-and-play devices.

Are these safe to use indoors?

Yes. Battery-based power stations are silent, emission-free and suitable for indoor use when operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Choosing the Right Power Station

How do I choose the right size?

Choose based on output power (W) for the appliances you want to run, and battery capacity (Wh) for how long you want them powered.

Is there a tool to help me decide?

Yes. Our Backup Power Calculator helps you estimate runtime and suitable models in minutes.

Can it run fridges, kettles or microwaves?

Fridges typically run on mid-range units. High-draw appliances like kettles and microwaves require higher-output models — always check the product’s AC rating.

Using & Charging

Can I charge and use it at the same time?

Most models support pass-through charging within manufacturer limits. Always follow the user manual.

How long will it power my device?

A rough guide is: (Battery Wh × 0.85) ÷ device watts. Actual runtime varies by usage and efficiency.

Are solar panels waterproof?

Most folding panels are water-resistant (typically IP65). Light rain is fine, but avoid submersion.

How fast is delivery?

Orders are processed within 1–3 working days and typically arrive within 2–5 working days across the UK. Remote areas may take longer.
