Mashable's favorite portable power stations are 50% off for October Prime Day now
Portable power stations are here to save the day, and that's 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.
Amazon's 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.
Best overall deal
Why we like it
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, it's easy to carry, is pretty lightweight, and comes with a super useful light bar. Thanks to this Amazon pre-Prime Day sale, it's already at a record-low price of $399 which is a sweet 50% off the normal price of $799.
The Anker Solix C1000 takes just one hour to recharge and it's expandable, should you decide you'd like more power. When testing, I used the Solix C1000 to power 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.
Best bundle deal with solar panel
Why we like it
Need a power station that's going to keep you going when you're not near an outlet? Bluetti AC180 has your back with this 1153Wh bundle of power alongside a 200W solar panel bundle. Plugging this badboy into a wall socket before going on your big adventure will charge up to around 80% in 45 mins, no there's no worries if you forgot (we've all been there). You can also charge it with the included Solar Panel, power generators and car ports, so there's plenty of versatility for an emergency situation.
This will charge anything without breaking a sweat. You've got 4 x AC outlets, 1 x car outlet, 1 x wireless charging pad, 1 x USB-C and 4 x USB-A. Even the solar panel has four panels and three sturdy kickstands to make sure you're getting the most of that sunny goodness hitting your power station. This bundle being over $400 off, you'd be missing out not having this on your next camping trip.
Best small portable power station deal
Why we like it
If you're in the market for a portable power station that will keep phones and laptops charged during a power outage that doesn't cost a bunch, the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 could be the best option during Prime Day. Instead of paying the list price of $249, it's on sale for just $174. This smaller model offers two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and one AC. There's also a light that'll assist with plugging things in should you be in the dark.
