Now that we no longer have "average" weather, we've come to expect things to be weird. That means hotter than normal summers and more intense storms. As we head into October, it's time to get ready for fall storms that are likely to knock out power. Before that happens, equip your home with a way to keep phones charged and the lamps on. Thanks to this deal at Amazon, doing so doesn't have to come with a massive price tag.

As of Sept. 25, Grecell T-1000 portable power station is on sale for $399.97 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $699.99. That works out to a savings of $300.02 thanks to the 43% discount.

Instead of staying tethered to your phone charger during the next fall storm, relax that you'll have a way of keeping powered up should the lights go out. The Grecell T-1000 portable power station offers 999Wh of capacity which Grecell says can recharge a phone up to 90 times or a laptop 24 times. Unlike many portable power stations, the Grecell has a built-in wireless charging pad that's great for your phone.

It's worth mentioning the Grecell uses an older battery technology in the T-1000 with lithium ion cells. The abbreviated version of why this matters is that it won't last as long as a portable power station that utilizes lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. But given today's sale price on the T-1000, that might not matter in the long run.

Before fall and winter storms take over the weather forecast, get the Grecell T-1000 portable power station for less than $400 at Amazon. It'll be useful for staying charged up during power outages in the coming months and it can come along to the campground come spring and summer.
