Best power station deals this weekend: Bluetti, Anker, Jackery on sale at Amazon

There's a reason portable power stations have become so popular; they can be a real lifesaver, whether you're off the grid on a camping trip or at home during a power outage. Everyone can benefit from having one at the ready, but they're not exactly the cheapest investment. That's why when you see a good deal, you should jump on it ASAP.

We've found the best power station deals to shop this weekend from top brands Jackery, Bluetti, and Anker, with savings up to $750. With camping season in full swing and hurricane season right around the corner, it's as good a time as any to make the investment.

Why we like it

The mid-range Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 is lightweight enough to take camping, boating, tailgating, and other adventures, weighing in at less than 40 pounds. Yet, it's packed with 2,042Wh capacity, which means it's powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. In real life terms, that's enough to keep your fridge up and running for over a day, heat up meals in the microwave, and brew many cups of coffee. On board, it has three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode.

While we've seen it drop as low as $679 post-Black Friday, this $799 deal is still a massive 47% discount and well worth grabbing.

Best Bluetti power station deal

Why we like it

Bluetti's Elite 200 V2 power station weighs in at just over 50 pounds and is around the size of a small cooler. While it's not exactly what I would call lightweight, it's still small enough to fit snugly in a corner of your home or tote with you on a camping trip or off-grid adventure. It's also pretty powerful with a 2,073Wh capacity and the ability to power nine devices at once. It features four AC outlets, two 15W USB-A ports, two 100W USB-C ports, and a 120W car port on board, and supports 3,900W in power lifting mode. That's enough to run high-demand gadgets like hair dryers and refrigerators.

Typically over $1,000, it's on sale for just under $800 this weekend at Amazon.

Best Anker Solix power station deal

Why we like it

Anker launched the Solix C2000 Gen 2 last fall and Mashable's power station expert calls it "genuinely campground worthy." Falling just in between the two options above in terms of heft, it weighs in at 41.7 pounds. That's still on the lighter side for a power station with a 2,048Wh capacity. It packs in five standard AC ports, one TT-30, two 140W USB-C, one 15W USB-C, and one 12W USB-A, giving you plenty of options to keep your campground powered up. Anker even says it can power up a 190W fridge for up to 32 hours. The more advanced version of our favorite power station for camping, the C2000 Gen 2 takes everything we love about the C1000 and cranks it up a notch.

It's usually over $1,400, so snagging it for only $749 is a steal.
