Winter weather often brings a higher risk of storms and unexpected power outages, and that's when having a dependable backup power source can really help. A portable power station can help keep essentials like freezers or laptops running when the power goes out. If you're thinking about adding something to your setup, there's a deal at Amazon on the Anker Solix C1000.

As of Dec. 18, this model is down to $371.45, a saving of $178.54. You can also choose between bundle options that include solar panels or water-resistant storage bags, with many of these options also reduced.

This power station delivers up to 2,000W of output across 10 ports (with a 3,000W peak) and a 1,024Wh capacity, so it's powerful enough to run multiple devices at once. It also uses Anker's HyperFlash technology to fully recharge in around 49 minutes from mains power, or around 1.8 hours with compatible solar panels.

The unit is also a lot smaller and lighter than many comparable models, so it's easy to carry around different parts of the house, or even a great companion for a camping vacation or road trip. And it's built to last for many years, with a battery designed to retain at least 80% capacity after 4,000 cycles.
