A portable power station is a savior in so many situations. A power outage, a camping trip, working in the yard without needing a massive extension cord, powering up the projector for an outdoor movie night, you name it.

EcoFlow makes some of the most thoughtful and feature-laden portable power stations on the market today and the Delta 2 Max packs in 2,048Wh of capacity. If you're using the Delta 2 Max for home backup during a power outage, expect it to keep the refrigerator cooling for about 14 hours, the WiFi router powered on for nearly 100 hours, or the TV for 15 hours. Pack it along on a camping trip and you'll be getting the ability to recharge a phone 143 times or sleep with a CPAP for 41 hours.

Today's deal includes an EcoFlow 45W portable solar panel that can easily connect to the Delta 2 Max to recharge the portable power station. At 45W, this solar panel isn't the most powerful and it would take a while to fully recharge the Delta 2 Max with the solar panel, but free is free, and the solar panel is surely useful.

If you're looking for the fastest recharging via solar, the Delta 2 Max can connect to 1,000W of solar power. With that amount, it'll go from dead to fully recharged in about 2.5 hours, according to EcoFlow. With standard AC wall charging, expect the Delta 2 Max to be fully recharged in about an hour.

While it's half off, snag the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max before an autumn wind storm knocks out power. Today's sale price also include a free portable solar panel to help with recharging. Overall, it's a package that'll be useful during bad weather and outdoor adventures.
