Amazon has discounted the BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini Portable Power Station from its $199 list price to $119, a 40% cut. The compact unit uses a 128Wh LiFePO4 battery with 200W AC output and includes 10ms UPS switching for light electronics like routers and laptops.

The Fossibot 3600 Pro led the pack at 44.65 hours, followed by the Oupes Mega 5 at 43.72 hours, while the Oscal Power Max 2400 lasted just 12.58 hours despite similar categorization.
CNET tested 19 large and extra-large portable power stations by connecting each to a standard refrigerator to see how long they could keep it running. The Fossibot 3600 Pro led the pack at 44.65 hours, narrowly beating the Oupes Mega 5 at 43.72 hours, while the Oscal Power Max 2400 lasted just 12.58 hours. Notably, the pricier Anker Solix F3800 Plus underperformed relative to its large 3,840Wh capacity, running only 25.68 hours.
Bluetti has introduced the Pioneer 5000, a portable power station built around a 5.12kWh LFP battery that it markets as an 'e-generator' rather than a solar generator. The unit can deliver up to 18kW of surge power for heavy equipment, is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, operates in temperatures from -20°C to 55°C, and can be expanded to 35kWh capacity. It charges via combined AC and solar input at up to 6.2kW, though pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
