According to the calendar, summer begins on June 21. But we all know the unofficial beginning is the long Memorial Day weekend, which is coming up this weekend. As we turn to summer activities outdoors, it's time to consider if you need any upgrades for the season.

If you've yet to jump on the hype of portable power stations, now's the time. As camping season ramps up, snagging a powerful model will be great for packing along. It'll keep phones charged up, portable speakers, and earbuds ready for use throughout the camping trip. You'll also be able to use the electric air pump for the inflatables before heading out on the water.

Now that we're seeing Memorial Day sales pop up, it's a great time to get a portable power station. Here are some of the best early deals to shop today. Some might even arrive before you leave for the long weekend trip.

For weekends at the campground, it's impossible to go wrong with the Anker Solix C1000. It has 1,056Wh of capacity for keeping your phones charged up and for plugging in the string lights. If you're feeling like more of a glamping experience, pack along the coffee maker and air fryer for comforts from home and easy camping meals. Unlike plenty of models, the Anker Solix C1000 has a built-in LED light which is excellent for both visibility for getting your devices plugged into the ports but also for illuminating the campsite.

Best waterproof portable power station deal

Why we like it

If your summer camping trips might involve wet weather, head out with the waterproof Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra. Rare for portable power stations, it comes with an IP65 waterproof and dust-proof rating. That means it'll hold up to light splashes or sitting near a pile of sawdust in the work shed.

Best portable power station deal for creators

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of the DJI Power 1000 V2 here.

We're all familiar with DJI cameras, drones, and mics, but the brand has been building its lineup of portable power stations in the recent years. The DJI Power 1000 V2 comes with great features for creators, especially those who use DJI drones. The quick-charging SDC ports means super quick recharging of drone batteries.

Even if you're not a creator, the sale price of $386.10 is excellent for a portable power station that offers 1,024Wh of capacity. It also focuses on quiet operation which is great if you'll be using this at home during an outage in a bedroom at night.
