I love portable power stations and these are the best Black Friday deals I recommend

Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station: was $1000 Now $700 at Amazon
Save $300 This high-capacity 1056Wh power station has enough juice to power an electric grill for an entire hour, and with the 1800W output, whether you need to run camping appliances or just keep the power going in the event of a backup, it should fit the bill. Anker says it’s powered by an electric vehicle-grade LFP battery (the same battery tech as you’ll find in some Tesla models), and it features fast charging and powerful mobile app connectivity. It’s pricey, but with this amazing coupon deal, it’s well worth considering.

Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station: was $1100 Now $650 at Amazon
Save $450 Another high-capacity power station from another highly-regarded brand, this time the Jackery has a capacity of 1,002Wh. It has a maximum output of 1,000W, slower charging speeds, and fewer outlets, but it’s also several pounds lighter, making it more convenient for longer trips.

MARBERO 88Wh Portable Power Station: was $120 Now $80 at Amazon
Save $40 This bargain power station, which is even cheaper with the coupon, is built for powering multiple mobile devices on the go. It features a pair of 18W USB 3.0 ports, another pair of USB 2.0 ports, an 18W USB-C port, a DC port, and a pair of household outlets peaking at 120W. It has a 24,000mAh capacity, which is about seven full charges of an iPhone 15 Pro.

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 300: was $280 Now $200 at Amazon
Save $80 This smaller-capacity Jackery model has a 293Wh capacity, which it can distribute via a pair of 300W outlets, a 60W USB-C port, a pair of USB Type-A ports (2.0 and 3.0), and a 12V car-type port. Like the brand’s other models, you can choose to add a solar panel to keep it topped up on long trips or charge it from the car or the house. You can even plug it in via the regular charger and the USB-C port to almost halve the total charging time to just two hours.

Anker 521 Portable Power Station: was $220 Now $170 at Amazon
Save $50 Although it’s one of the Chinese brand’s cheaper portable power stations, it still has the same long-lasting LFP battery tech. The 256Wh pack is good for around 20 phone charges or more than five hours of using an air pump for your inflatable mattress. To make things easier, you can charge it via the same USB-C port that’s used for charging devices from it, but its low-wattage outlets aren’t suited for powering energy-intensive appliances like hobs and kettles.

EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station DELTA 2: was $999 Now $699 at Amazon
Save $300 This large power station has a total of 15 outlets, including four USB Type-A ports, a pair of USB-C ports capable of up to 100W, which is enough to fast-charge the latest MacBook Pro 14”, and six AC outlets rated at up to 1.8kW. This is the 1024Wh (1kWh) model, but it’s expandable all the way up to 3kWh if you need the extra juice.

Soyond Solar Generator Portable Generator with Solar Panels: Now $45 at Amazon
Despite its comparably small 12,000mAh capacity, it’s a fraction of the price of what you could pay for other brands. This Soyond power station doesn’t have mains outlets, but it has plenty of USB-A connectors and a USB-C outlet to keep your mobile devices running. Even better, it has Bluetooth and a built-in speaker, as well as an integrated torch, so you shouldn’t have to carry around as much.

EBL Portable Power Station 300: was $299 Now $160 at Amazon
Save $139 EBL’s affordable 300Wh lithium-ion battery pack features a trio of USB 3.0 ports, a 60W USB-C port, and even a wireless charging pad, which the company reckons can charge up to 24 phones. There’s a considerable discount on this model, but you can also find good deals on the larger 500W, 1kW, and 2kW versions, too.

Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station: was $1199 Now $899 at Amazon
Save $300 The priciest model on this list, which currently has a coupon deal saving you hundreds, is the largest-capacity model. It has a 1,264Wh battery (about 1.2kWh), but with add-ons, it can be expanded up to 5kWh, which is as much as some small apartments use in an entire day across all appliances. Without the add-ons, it’s enough to power a microwave for an entire hour, and luckily, it supports fast charging speeds for an at-home full charge in under two hours.
