SAVE $370: As of Oct. 3, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is on sale for $429 at Amazon. That's a 46% savings on the list price.

There are many wonderful things about fall. Pumpkin-spiced lattes, the leaves turning brown, rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. But the one not-so-great part of fall is the change in the weather, often bringing about storms. If you live in a particularly storm-prone area, you'll know all too well the plight of losing power. For times like these, a portable power station is a great option to keep you connected.

Portable power stations can vary vastly in price, with some hitting the thousands of dollars. These can provide a whole-home backup for days at a time. But if you're looking for something smaller and more affordable that can keep your essentials connected, why not try the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2? And as of Oct. 3, this model is on sale at Amazon ahead of October's Prime Day.

Right now, you'll save $370 with the new price at $429. This price is for the power station only, but there are upgrade options for travel bags and solar panels too.

This model is both powerful and compact. It has a 1,500W AC output (3,000W surge) and a 1,070Wh battery, so it's great to use for camping and road trips, as well as in emergencies. It can charge from 0–100% in as little as one hour with emergency mode via the Jackery App, and its durable LFP battery lasts over 10 years, so you're getting your money's worth.

It has multiple charging ports, including a USB-C, USB-A, DC car, and three AC outlets, and it can power several devices at once. Head to Amazon to grab this great early Prime Day deal.
