As winter’s icy grip tightens, more than 115 million residents in the Northeast are dealing with rain, snow, and freezing temperatures from winter storms. That’s why owning a portable power station is becoming less a luxury and more a vital tool in extreme weather preparedness. These compact powerhouses ensure essential appliances remain on while you and your family stay warm.

Good (and timely) news: Amazon is offering up to 44 percent off Bluetti portable power stations right now, including 40 percent of the powerful AC200MAX, so you’re ready if the grid goes down.

The small but powerful EB3A is 34 percent off, making it the most affordable option on this list. Weighing 10 pounds and featuring a 268-watt-hour (Wh) battery, it has a 600-watt AC pure sine wave output, allowing it to charge sensitive electronics and small appliances.

It offers multiple outlets, including two 120-volt AC outlets, a 100-watt USB-C port, two 5-volt USB-A ports, and a 12-volt car outlet. There’s also a built-in LED lamp and an LCD that shows the battery capacity, remaining charge/discharge time, input power, and more.

If you’re looking for something bigger, the Bluetti AC180 features a 1,152-Wh battery and is 35 percent off. It delivers an output of 1,800 watts (2,700-watt peak), making it suitable for emergency power backup, camping, and tailgating. There are 11 ports for various needs, including four 120-volt AC outlets, four 5-volt USB-A ports, and a 100-watt USB-C port.

What’s nice about the AC180 is it supports a fast recharging feature, with the ability to replenish the battery from empty to 80 percent in 45 minutes using a standard home outlet. And unlike other Bluetti portable power stations, the AC180 can connect to a solar charger.

You can also find Bluetti combo kits on sale, like the AC180 and PV200, that include a power station and solar panel. There are also a few options that feature a power station and expansion battery, a modular system that provides more output capacity and ports. There are over 40 products from Bluetti’s lineup currently on sale, running the gamut from travel-friendly to models that can connect to your home to provide backup for lights and major appliances.

The brand’s solar panels are also discounted and can replenish the battery in Bluetti’s power stations when no electricity is available, allowing you to go entirely off-grid. The power, features, and ease of use are why we chose Bluetti as the best in our guide to solar-powered generators.
