an excellent power solution for lovers of the outdoor life
The tiny ultra-lightweight 3.75lbs Westinghouse iGen160s Portable Power Station is a rugged and handy portable source to have with you all of the time. It’s fully capable of charging your basic electronic devices such as GoPros, drones, and phones with its 100W running and 150W peak power outputs.
the iGen160s is an ideal solution that will enhance all your typical outdoor activities like camping, fishing trips, tailgating, or festivals where you need a minimum amount of power. It’s so compact it can easily be tucked away in your bag or vehicle. And a built-in handle lets you hook it onto gear or be easily carried by hand.
And don’t forget, the iGen160s can play a useful role in the home environment. For example, it offers some very basic power that could help you during an emergency. And it’s dual mode flashlight and reading light will be more than handy in low light environments.
the iGen160s capabilities
Though it’s a very small unit and as a result has limited power capabilities, it can charge up to 9 devices at a time (within its overall 100W). According to Westinghouse, it can provide power for:
- 40-hours of lights
- Up to 3-hours of TV
- 14 smartphone charges
- 3 laptop charges
- 6 drone charges
- 2 nights on select CPAP devices 
emission-free operation with just a wipe-down for maintenance
The iGen160s, like all power stations, uses the stored energy in a lithium battery cell to deliver a “clean” output that’s free from the kind of harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide produced by gas-powered portable generators. And unlike a portable generator, it is virtually silent in operation, so you won’t disturb your neighbors.
The lithium-ion batteries in this model last almost twice as long as the more traditional battery technology and are completely maintenance-free. There are no moving parts, so you can operate the unit safely both indoors and outdoors (but not in the rain).
4-way recharging methods
The iGen160s charges in as little as 6 to 7 hours using the included car charger, wall charger, or any optional solar panel that has a DC13V-25V/2A max port. Of course, it’s also possible to charge the unit if you also have a portable generator.
Low voltage protection, short circuit protection, and overload protection all work to protect the battery and connected devices, so you can rest assured your devices are in safe hands.
control panel, LCD screen, and power outlets
The control panel has all the controls you need in a single location, with on/off keys for AC and DC outlets, flashlight and reading lamp buttons. You’ll also find it has an easy-to-read multi-color LCD screen to give you some basic information on the operational state of the unit.
No power station is much good without a good set of power outputs. That’s why the iGen160s is equipped with:
- 2x5V-2.1A USB ports
- 1xUSB 5-9V-2A Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 port for faster charging
- 1xUSB Type-C 509V-2A
- 2×120-Volt household AC outlets
- 3×5.5 mm 9-12.6V-10A DC outputs (15A max total)
LED lighting
The unit comes with an LED flashlight / reading light, and you’ll be pleased to know that you can adjust the brightness according to your situation. This LED can also help draw attention by being able to blink using its SOS mode in case of any emergency.
multiple power outputs
For its size, the iGen160s has an outstanding set of outputs enabling you to charge up to 9 devices at the same time within its 100W overall limit.
solar charging
Solar charging offers the possibility of almost limitless power and the Westinghouse WSolar100p 100W solar panel (paid links) is the perfect match for the iGen160s.
recharging the iGen160s
Easy and convenient 4-mode recharging is available with this model. Although an AC charger and car adapter are included in the box, like most if not all power stations, a solar panel such as the one shown above is optional, but it’s really an indispensable accessory for the serious outdoor adventurer. Charging with a portable generator is also available.
