Back in the day, going camping meant your phone and other gadgets would go dead within a day of arriving. Not to mention the coffee was instant, and once the sun went down, it was flashlight tag to find your friends. Instead of dealing with dead batteries during the upcoming camping season, upgrade the experience with a portable power station. There's a great model on sale today at Amazon, and it comes with a major perk.

As of Feb. 18, the Bluetti AC200L portable power station with a 350W solar panel is on sale at Amazon for $1,298.98, marked down from the normal price of $1,999. That's a 35% discount that saves a hefty $700.02. Note that shipping might take a week or longer, and the solar panel will ship separately from the power station.

Bluetti makes some of the most versatile portable power stations, and the AC200L brings a nice 2,048Wh to the party. This will be a major asset for camping, taking to the worksite, or powering up the backyard projector for movie nights.

The Bluetti AC200L comes with plenty of ports for your charging needs, including four AC ports, two USB-A, two USB-C, and a 30-amp plug. But one of the coolest parts about this deal is that it comes with a foldable 350W solar panel to recharge the power station. With good sun, you'll be able to recharge the AC200L back to 80 percent battery capacity in about 4.5 hours with the solar panel. If you have access to standard wall recharging, you'll get back to 80 percent in about 45 minutes.

The Bluetti AC200L also offers a blazing-fast fast uninterrupted power supply (UPS) that measures 0.02 seconds. That's important if you'll be using the power station to keep the WiFi router online or power up a CPAP machine during a power outage. The 0.02-second switch over time means you won't notice the switch at all, giving you an uninterrupted power experience.

Before camping season kicks off, upgrade this year's adventures with the Bluetti AC200L portable power station and a 350W solar panel. As long as you have sunshine at camp, the power station could mean unlimited recharging of all your gadgets.
