Whether you enjoy the great outdoors or you have kids who come out in a cold sweat when their tablet’s battery percentage reaches single digits, having a reliable backup power source can be hugely important. Right now, one of Anker’s mini portable power stations is $50 off on Amazon, dropping the price to just $100. That’s just $5 more than the lowest price we’ve seen it go there, but you’ll need to act fast and make sure to clip the on-page coupon to get the best price.
This device supplies an impressive 192 watts of power and weighs just over 5 pounds, making it a solid option for occasional outages or trips, and not so heavy that it can’t be carried. With its substantial 60,000-mAh capacity, it should be able to recharge an iPhone more than 10 times. It comes equipped with both 60- and 27-watt USB-C ports, which means you can charge larger devices, like laptops or tablets when you’re on the go. (You can juice up both devices simultaneously.) It also has two USB-A ports and a solar input.
