Portable power stations are versatile devices that can keep electronics and small appliances running when you’re camping, traveling, attending sports events, and during unexpected power outages. Amazon featured two Jackery devices during today’s 12 Days of Deals and Enkeeo has coupon deals on three portable power alternatives.

Strictly speaking, portable power stations range from a pocket-sized USB charger to rolling gas-powered generators. The deals in the post include Lithium-ion battery packs with one or more AC power outlets, a gasoline-powered inverter generator, and a folding solar panel that can recharge personal electronics as well as the Lithium power stations. Whether you’re buying Christmas gifts, want a temporary backup power source for your smart home, or looking for a convenient way to bring power to tailgates, these five deals can help you save up to $200.

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240 — $75 off


The Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240 Lithium-ion battery pack stores up to 240 watt-hours of power (67,000mAh).

According to Jackery, the Explorer 240 can power a 40-watt LED lamp for up to 40 hours, recharge a smartphone 20 times, or run a 40-watt mini fridge for up to 5 hours. You can recharge the Explorer in 7-to-8 hours with standard AC power, from a car power outlet, or a portable solar panel such as Jackery’s SolarSaga 60 below.

The 2300W has a 1.1-gallon gas tank and can run from 4-to-12 hours depending on demand. Unlike gas generators, which are much noisier, run at constant speeds, and are subject to power level fluctuations, inverter generators are relatively quiet and provide cleaner, more stable power that won’t harm electronic devices.

Packing more than ten times the power of the Enkeeo 222W portable power station above, the 23ooW Inverter can be linked in parallel with additional units via an included cable if you want even more power. An LED display keeps you up to date with fuel, voltage, running hours, and maximum power. The Enkeeo measures 22.3 inches deep by 16.9 inches wide by 21.4 inches high and weighs 50.6 pounds. There is a carrying handle on top, but you also can pull out a top-front-mounted handle to roll the unit on integrated wheels.

Power Station Tera 1000 promises to recharge in two hours flat
70mai Power Station Tera 1000

A new home power station from Xiamoi's sister company 70mai has been announced, touting 10 outputs, a two-hour recharge time, and 1000Wh capacity. Once fully charged, the Power Station Tera 1000 is estimated to be able to keep a mini-fridge going for 14 hours, recharge a phone 75 times, or keep an electric fan running for 21 hours.

This power station has three AC plugs; two USB-A, two USB-C, and two DC ports; and one 12V car port. In an effort to reduce noise from a fan, the unit has a ventilation pathway. 70mai claims that thanks to this, the Power Station Tera 1000 only emits a third of the heat of competing power stations. Keeping the noise down could be helpful if you're trying to sleep with this thing powering your CPAP machine, for example.

GoSun’s new portable power stations use the sun’s ray to charge devices
gosun new portable power stations gets you through outages power550 hero

GoSun's diverse lineup of solar-friendly products is expanding this week with two new portable power stations. The GoSun Power 550 and Power 1,100 are high-capacity batteries designed to help keep your appliances running when off the grid, whether that's due to an outage or being on a camping trip. Much like its other eco-friendly devices, these portable power stations can be charged using solar panels.

These portable power stations have plenty of power output options, including a 600-watt AC, a 1,000W AC, USB-A with QuickCharge 3.0, two 5V 2.4A USB-A plugs, a 60W USB-C plug, and a 12.3V DC. For charging, they use a 12-24V adapter, 18-24V input for solar, or 12V if you're charging it from the car.  Both AC outlets are pure sine wave, meaning your electronics get a more consistent feed of power. That's good news for your phones and laptops. It also has a Maximum Power Point Controller (MPPT) built-in, which helps to optimize the gain from solar panels. Other batteries lose a lot of efficiency on this front.

Is a portable home battery worth it?
The Jackery Explorer 1000 is a 1000 W portable power station.

Portable home batteries are a big investment. With prices routinely creeping up to the $1,000 line, you want to make sure it's the right call. We cover some of the major considerations to make before taking the plunge.
How does a portable home battery work?
The majority of modern portable home batteries use the same lithium-ion technology you find in your cell phone and laptop. Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive up-front than older lead-acid batteries, but have a longer life. Even then, lithium-ion batteries can offer a break-even in cost versus lead-acid batteries because they require fewer replacements in the long term.

Portable batteries work by moving lithium ions between two layers, separated by an electrolyte layer. First, lithium is made stable by bonding with a metal oxide on the cathode side. While charging, the lithium's electrons are pulled towards the anode. This separates the lithium from the metal oxide because it was sharing those electrons to create bonds. This, in turn, attracts the lithium ions from the cathode side to the anode, except they move directly through the electrolyte layer inside the battery.
