If last year is any indication, we could be in for severe weather this upcoming winter. But before the winter storms bring snow, ice, and frigid temperatures to your town, now’s the time to invest in a portable power station. In anticipation of the power outages that fall and winter inevitably bring, Amazon is offering up to 40 percent off Bluetti portable power stations, giving you time to prepare for what’s ahead.
The small but powerful Bluetti AC2A portable power station is currently down to $149 from $249, a hefty 40 percent off. Weighing just 7.9 pounds, it’s an ultra-portable option ideal for camping but can also provide home backup power in a pinch. It delivers a consistent 300 watts of output power or a temporary boost of up to 600 watts thanks to a “Power Lifting Mode.” This mode enables it to power devices with higher startup power requirements or short-term peak loads, such as hair dryers or electric kettles.
The AC2A can also serve as an uninterruptible power supply, so when the grid fails, the power station will kick on. The power station can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in just 40 minutes, or you can charge it via a solar panel. There are six outlets, and you can control the power station through the Bluetti app, which allows you to monitor its status and power management.
BLUETTI EB3A Portable Power Station
The Bluetti EB3A portable power station is also on sale at 34 percent off, bringing the price under $200. It’s a more robust model that delivers 600 running watts (1,200 watts surge), allowing you to power more energy-intensive devices like a mini fridge for up to 4 hours. Nine outlets give you ample room to connect your personal electronics, whether it’s a smartphone, laptop, or drone battery.
In addition to its power capabilities, the Bluetti includes features that make it a reliable camping companion. It has a built-in light that supports three modes, including dim, bright, and SOS, so it can come in clutch when you need to alert a first responder. Despite boasting more output, the Bluetti EB3A is only 10.1 pounds, making it easy to transport thanks to the built-in handle.
A portable generator or power station can help restore normalcy when an outage hits. Considering how fierce the weather was toward the end of last year, these discounts on Bluetti’s couldn’t have come at a better time.
