Are you prepared? Around 800,000 people had their power go out in Michigan this past week due to recent severe thunderstorms. A wonderful way to prepare for power outages is to stock up on water, food, flashlights, a generator, or even a portable power station. Aviva sells a portable power station or battery that powers your devices at home and away. You might want to take it on a camping trip or use it to recharge your phone or computer. You can connect to fast-charging USB ports, an AC outlet and more to stay charged. We just bought this device and are satisfied with it.
