Portable power stations are the best new product that deserve a spot in your garage. They're wonderful for packing along on a camping weekend, and they can keep your home powered up during a power outage. Anker makes some of the most affordable models, and the brand just announced the new Anker Solix C1000 v2 with a super quick recharging ability. If you're interested in this new model, check out this awesome preorder deal.

As of Aug. 20, pre-order the new Anker Solix C1000 v2 at Anker for just $429, down from the normal price of $799. That works out to a shocking 46% discount that takes a massive $370 off the list price.

In Mashable's testing, the original Anker Solix C1000 portable power station earned itself a Mashable Choice Award. With this new version, Anker changed up a few aspects of the super versatile portable power station.

For starters, the new v2 of the Solix C1000 is lighter and smaller, which means it's now even easier to carry around the campground or move from room-to-room during a power outage. This model weighs under 25 pounds, compared to the original version's weight of about 28.5 pounds.

But where Anker really went hard is the recharging ability. The Solix C1000 v2 can go from 0 to 100 percent charged in just 49 minutes with standard AC wall charging. That means you only need an hour's notice that the power might cut out to get your portable power station in line to provide 1,024Wh of juice.

In real-life conditions, 1,024Wh of power can keep a CPAP machine going for 15 hours or a refrigerator for up to 14 hours, plus recharge a phone over 67 times. During a power outage, the Solix C1000 v2 can keep your WiFi router going for 60 hours. Pair that with a fully charged cell phone, and you can keep in touch while also catching up on shows until the power returns.

Anker also mentions this model has super quiet operation, registering just 20 decibels when power under 200W, which is similar to the noise you'd expect from a whisper-quiet library setting.

While it's on a preorder deal that saves a whopping 46%, snag the new Anker Solix C1000 v2 for just $429. That sale price makes the v2 cheaper than the current sale price of $449 on the original Anker Solix C1000.
