Portable power stations are here to save the day, and thats not even an exaggeration. These puppies pack in the power to recharge your phone, laptop, keep the refrigerator cooling, and the WiFi router powered on during a storm. Portable power stations come in tons of sizes with various specialties like being great for camping or coming with enough juice to power your entire home for days should a major storm roll through.
Amazons October Prime Day sale is here, and there are great deals already on offer. Some of my favorite portable power stations are already sitting at record-low prices at Amazon. Others come with freebies like solar panels and carrying cases. Whatever your portable power needs are, Amazon likely has a model in stock and on sale before Big Deals Days kicks off. Here are some highlights.
Read our full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station.
In my testing for the best portable power station, the Anker Solix C1000 emerged as the best overall option for most situations. It comes with a solid 1,056Wh of battery storage, its easy to carry, is pretty lightweight, and it comes with a super useful light bar. Thanks to this Amazon pre-Prime Day sale, its already at a record-low price of $429 which is a sweet 46% off the normal price of $799.
The Anker Solix C1000 takes just one hours to recharge and its expandable should you decide youd like more power. When testing, I used the Solix C1000 to use a projector for outdoor movie nights, cook dinner in the air fryer, and power up the coffee maker. The Solix C1000 comes with six AC power ports, two USB-A, and two USB-C ports, so there are plenty of options.
One of the coolest aspects of relying on a portable power station is the ability to recharge via solar panels. If youre one for streamlining the purchase process, the EcoFlow Delta 2 is already on a major sale bundled with a 220W solar panel. In addition to that solar panel, Amazon is offering extra freebies with your purchase and you can add on a totally free 45W solar panel and a free carrying bag. Thats a heck of a deal for the price of $649. On its own at full list price, the EcoFlow Delta 2 itself costs $699.
EcoFlow makes some of the best portable power stations and the Delta 2 comes with 1,024Wh of capacity and EcoFlow mentions this translates to recharging a phone almost 90 times or keeping a light on for 31 hours. So long as you have sunshine, that power can be limitless thanks to the included solar panels.
If youre in the market for a portable power station that will keep phones and laptops charged during a power outage that doesnt cost a bunch, the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 could be the best option during Prime Day. Instead of paying the list price of $249, its on sale for just $179. This smaller model offers two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and one AC. Theres also a light thatll assist with plugging things in should you be in the dark.
