WeBoost is the number one selling signal booster.
Because these are commonly used with portable power stations, I thought I’d create an article sharing how much power a Weboost uses.
I’ve been using it for years while working while camping.
How Much Power Does WeBoost Use?
WeBoost uses 8 to 14 watts of power (from my test with my Weboost Drive Reach).
This figure may vary slightly based on factors such as the model of the booster, its setting, and the strength of the input signal.
However, the consumption usually remains within a close range of this number and won’t deviate excessively higher or lower.
Obviously, this reading is from my Jackery, which is probably not 100% accurate, but it will get you close.

HiBoost Power Consumption
Hiboost, the primary WeBoost competitor, has a comparable power consumption.
Most HiBoost models consume power in the range of 8 to 14 watts. I’m basing this on the power supply being the same as WeBoost.
Just like WeBoost, the exact power draw can depend on specific models and external factors affecting signal strength.
Using a Portable Power Station with WeBoost
WeBoost devices are versatile and can be utilized for various purposes, such as enhancing home internet, boosting signal on the road, or improving connectivity while camping.
Weboost On the Road
If you’re traveling, you can conveniently power your WeBoost device using your car’s DC outlet. This ensures uninterrupted signal boosting without having to worry about battery drainage.
WeBoost for Camping Wifi
For those who enjoy the great outdoors but still need to stay connected, powering WeBoost with a portable power station (reviews) is an ideal solution. Given the low power consumption of WeBoost, even a modestly sized power station can keep it running for a significant duration.
It’s always a good idea to calculate the expected usage time based on the capacity of your power station and the overall consumption of all connected devices.
In conclusion, when considering the power consumption of WeBoost, it’s quite energy efficient, making it a practical choice for both stationary and on-the-go usage.
