Powertech Portable Power Station

Powertech is a prominent house brand in the Australian and New Zealand markets, primarily associated with the electronics retailer Jaycar Electronics. The brand specializes in power solutions, providing a diverse range of products including portable power stations, solar controllers, inverters, and battery chargers designed for camping, off-grid living, and backup power applications.

Historically, the Powertech brand was developed by Jaycar to offer high-quality, technically proficient electronics to the hobbyist and professional markets. Most Powertech products, including their high-capacity lithium power stations, are manufactured in China through partnerships with specialized electronics factories. This allows the brand to integrate modern technologies like LiFePO4 batteries and pure sine wave inverters at competitive price points.

The ultimate owner of the Powertech brand is Jaycar Electronics Group, which was founded in Sydney, Australia. Following the passing of its founder, Gary Johnston, the company was acquired by the Australian private equity firm Allegro Funds in 2022. Under this ownership, the brand continues to serve the Australian market through Jaycar's extensive retail network and specialty distributors.
