Until recently, you had to protect portable power stations from the elements. They are essentially boxes filled with electricity, after all, and we all know that water and electricity don't mix. The problem is that if you want to take your power station outdoors, there's a good chance you'll run into water, whether it's from rain, snow, rivers, lakes, mist, or fog.
