Winter storms mean power outages. Fortunately, Amazon is currently discounting power stations, including the DJI Power 1000 V2 for $399.98 (was $699). It stores 1,024Wh and puts out 2,600W, enough for lights, electronics, and a compatible refrigerator. Our guide to the best portable power stations compares capacity and output by model and brand.
Amazon’s sale includes small stations for phones and campsite lights, larger units for long outages, and solar bundles, plus expansion batteries, panels, and car chargers. The cheapest item in our roundup is the Anker Prime 200W Charging Station for $69.99 (was $79.99).
Plug household electronics and appliances into this portable power station, which combines a 1,024Wh battery with 2,600W continuous output. USB ports let you charge phones and laptops directly, leaving the AC outlets available for other equipment.
Keep essential appliances running through an outage with this 2,048Wh power station, rated for 2,400W of continuous output. Its larger battery provides more stored energy for longer use between charges, with actual runtime determined by the devices you connect.
Charge phones, power campsite lights, or keep a laptop running with this compact power station. Its approximately 293Wh battery and 300W AC output suit smaller loads during a short outage or a trip away from electrical hookups.
These additional deals include a wide range of power options. Compare watt-hours for stored energy and output watts for the devices a station can run. If you plan to supply home circuits, have a licensed electrician install a compatible transfer switch and confirm the station’s voltage, connections, and capacity.
