From weekend camping trips to unexpected power outages, having a reliable power source like the Anker 521 PowerHouse can be a lifesaver. Normally $249.99, right now you can buy the power station for the new low price of $128.99 at checkout at Amazon.
The power station is essentially a portable backup battery with a 256Wh capacity and six ports — two AC outlets, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a car outlet. That gives you everything you need to recharge your phone, laptop, tablet, camera, drone, and other devices multiple times. It can also run gadgets that draw up to 300 watts of power, so you can use small appliances like a mini fridge, lamp, or a fan. And if you’re outdoors, you can even recharge the power station using compatible solar panels.
Anker also says the battery is designed to last up to 10 years, and you get a five-year warranty for extra peace of mind. Plus, it comes with charging cables, and even includes a handy display so you can check how much power you have left at a glance. In short, it’s a handy little tool that’ll keep you powered up no matter where you are, and today’s price makes it an especially solid investment.
