Portable power station deal: Save $370 on the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2

SAVE $370: As of Jan. 23, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 portable power station is on sale for $429 at Amazon. That's nearly half off its list price.

Anker is well-known for its lineup of quality tech at budget-friendly prices — and the Solix C1000 Gen 2 portable power station is no exception. Its typical $799 price tag is already relatively low compared to competitors, but Amazon has dropped the price to make it even more affordable.

As of Jan. 23, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is on sale for only $429. That's 46% or $370 in savings on a Mashable Choice Award-winning device. You'll notice a progress bar on the shop page below the price — this means it's a Lightning deal at Amazon. You'll have to grab it before that progress bar reaches 100 or before the timer runs out, whichever comes first.

Mashable contributor Lauren Allain spent some time with the second-generation Solix C1000 and called it "the perfect model for taking on a weekend camping trip or keeping around the house for occasional power outages." She credits its respectable 1,024Wh capacity, peak output of 3,000W, zippy 49-minute recharge time, and its convenient array of ports.

Compared to the previous generation, it has a fancier LCD display, charges quicker, and weighs less, plus two of its USB-C ports can now handle 140W (as opposed to 100W). And for what it's worth, the newer model is currently about $40 cheaper if you act fast.
