Anker's SOLIX C1000 Power Station Is Nearly 50% Off for Memorial Day, That's Hundreds in Savings
You don't think about the possibility or ability to have backup power until you actually need it. Maybe it's a sudden storm that knocks out your home's electricity, or a camping trip where your phone's on 3% and there's no outlet in sight. Whatever the case, there's nothing more frustrating than being cut off when you need to stay powered up. Luckily, there's a solution, and you can get it right now without having to take out a second mortgage. Right now, run to Amazon to get the Anker Solix Portable Power Station for just $449, down from its usual price of $799. That's $350 off and a discount of 44%. See at Amazon An economic home generator The Anker Solix C 1000 is compact, quiet, and powerful enough to keep your essentials running. It's built around a 299Wh battery and delivers 300W of continuous power with a 600W surge capacity. That's enough to charge phones and laptops multiple times, power a mini-fridge during a blackout, or keep a CPAP machine running through the night. It's small enough to fit easily in a car trunk or closet, but powerful enough to be genuinely useful when the lights go out. You can connect up to six devices at once thanks to a wide mix of ports. You get two AC outlets, USB-C, USB-A, and even a car socket. It's also fast to recharge. Plug it into a wall and it'll be back to 100% in around three and a half hours. If you're camping or living off-grid, it also supports solar charging, which adds a lot of flexibility to how and where you use it. You'll be able to use this power station for quite a while before it needs more juice. The Anker Solix C 1000 uses LiFePO4 batteries, which last far longer than standard lithium-ion cells. It lasts up to 3,000 charge cycles. In other words, it'll be quite a while before you have to worry about ruined charge cycles. Whether you need something to keep at home in the event of a storm or other emergency, this Anker solution is well worth picking up. It's got plenty of battery, it can charge quickly, and it's not at all unaffordable, especially when compared to some of its other brethren out on the market. And you'll be ready for any of the summer storms coming to your area, even if they happen to knock every single bit of electricity out. You can charge for people to use it, too. It's at its lowest price ever on Amazon for Memorial day, so you need to hurry. See at Amazon

Win a Jackery solar power station with this giveaway!
Power outages are an unfortunate reality. What is usually just a minor inconvenience can turn into a nightmare if it lasts more than a few hours. The food in your fridge can go bad, phones can die, leaving you without means of communication — it can even become life threatening if you're forced to go without heat, air conditioning, or at-home medical devices. A backup generator can solve these problems. It's a life-saver when it kicks in, and peace of mind even when you don't need it. Jackery is having a giveaway right now for its HomePower 3000, a solar generator specifically designed for emergency backup power in your home. Enter the giveaway here, and read more about the HomePower 3000 below. How to enter The Jackery HomePower 3000 The Jackery Solar HomePower 3000 is powerful little device. It has a 3072Wh battery capacity and can output power at 3,600W — or 7200W surge power. Its killer statistic is the ability to power a refrigerator for two days. That saves all your food in a regular power outage, and gives you time to plan if you're in a serious outage that lasts multiple days. Jackery estimates that the HomePower 3000 can keep the average household running as normal for 15 hours. The HomePower 3000 is easy to use. It's controlled through a digital display, so setting power levels is simple and intuitive. It even kicks in automatically after detecting a power outage. It has an output for nearly any device: DC 12V, two USB-C plugins, two USB-A plugins, four standard three-prong sockets, and a 3000W AC. It can be charged via power cable or solar panels in just under two hours. Jackery is proud of the size of the HomePower 3000. It's the smallest 3kWh power station ever, according to Jackery and Frost & Sullivan. It's about the size of a microwave, with handles on top for easy carrying. It's also quiet, so unlike a gas generator, you can keep it on your kitchen counter when powering your fridge and in your bedroom to power a heat source at night. The Jackery HomePower 3000 means peace of mind during power outages. Enter the giveaway above for your chance at a backup power station, completely free!
