This year’s brutal winter storms have wreaked havoc on power grids across the country, proving that emergency preparedness is essential to everyday life. Even if you’ve been fortunate enough to avoid outages, now is the perfect time to prepare. A reliable portable power station should be a cornerstone of your emergency kit, keeping your devices, lights, and appliances running when the grid goes down. In addition to discounts on devices from Jackery and EcoFlow, you can save up to 54 percent off Bluetti portable power stations at Amazon.
The large and powerful Bluetti AC180 is 54 percent off right now, dropping it to one of its lowest prices ever. This portable power station has everything you need to keep your essential devices online. It boasts 11 outlets, allowing you to power everything from a TV to a full-size refrigerator. Bluetti says the AC180 can provide up to 12 hours of power to your fridge, keeping your food from spoiling until the grid returns online. You can recharge it multiple ways, including via a standard AC outlet or hook up solar panels when you take the AC180 camping.
The Bluetti AC70 is now $379 (down from $599)—a 37 percent discount that matches its all-time lowest price. While more compact than its AC180 sibling, this versatile power station offers 1,000 watts of output power through seven outlets, including two AC and two USB-C ports. The unit’s smart features include full app integration, letting you monitor status, adjust charging modes, and track performance remotely. Perhaps most importantly, it functions as an emergency uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with an impressive 0.02-second switching time, ensuring your critical devices stay powered during outages.
Flexibility is a key strength of the AC70, which offers multiple charging options, including solar, AC outlet, USB-C, and car port charging. When needed, the unit’s “powerlifting” mode can temporarily boost output to 2,000 watts. Weighing just 22.5 pounds, it strikes an excellent balance between power and portability, making it equally suitable for emergency home backup and outdoor adventures like camping.
Finally, you can save 42 percent on this combo kit, which includes the Bluetti EB3A and a 100-watt solar panel. If you prefer the Bluetti EB3A by itself, you can pick it up for 28 percent off. The portable power station is the smallest model on this list—it delivers 600 watts of output power with nine outlets, including two AC, two USB-A, and a USB-C. The top doubles as a wireless charger, so it’s not a bad device to have on hand for topping off your phone at home. Like the AC180 and AC70, the EB3A offers app support, so you can monitor the power station remotely.
Unlike traditional gas generators that require outdoor ventilation, these Bluetti power stations are completely safe for indoor use—you can even keep one next to your bed during outages. They operate silently and produce zero emissions, making them perfect for emergency backup power and everyday use. Both models offer reliable power when you need it most, without the noise, fumes, or safety concerns of gas-powered alternatives.
