Punxsutawney Phil is forecasting an early spring this year, signaling the imminent end to winter (if you believe that groundhog). As you plan for warmer weather, and the winds and thunderstorms it typically brings, it’s not a bad idea to pick up a portable power station. Now is a good time, too, as Amazon is offering hefty discounts on products from Goal Zero.

Goal Zero’s lineup includes everything from portable generators to solar panels. We regularly test and recommend the brand’s products for staying connected when the power goes out. And its devices aren’t limited to emergency backup power. They’re valuable companions at the campsite and job site, providing juice for power tools and electronics.

The most significant discount is on the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core, which is 41 percent off. The solar-powered generator features a 983-watt-hour (Wh) battery and a 1,200-watt inverter. That’s enough to power major appliances in an emergency, so you can keep food in your fridge from spoiling. You can also use the Yeti 1000 Core to charge sensitive electronics, including laptops, smartphones, and medical devices, since its inverter smooths out the current to keep it from spiking and frying your gadgets.

For even more power—and an editor pick for the most versatile portable power station—Amazon is offering the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X for 29 percent off, bringing the price down to $1,289 from $1,799. This model has a robust 1,516-Wh battery and a 2,000-watt inverter, which Goal Zero says can keep full-size appliances running for several hours. The Yeti 1500X has seven different port options, including two USB-C, two USB-A, and two 120-volt, 20-amp AC connections. You can also connect a separate solar panel and harness the sun to replenish the battery.

Finally, Goal Zero is offering 27 percent off the Yeti 200X, a more compact power station for camping and small-scale use. It has a 187-Wh battery and a 120-watt inverter—the ideal size for juicing up personal electronics. It can also come in clutch when you need to power small tools or recharge batteries. And if you do use it in situations where it could pick up some dings, the heavy-duty anodized aluminum enclosure helps the generator handle rugged conditions and protect its internal components.

Spring is the ideal time to go on that camping trip. And in these modern times, a portable power station can help keep your devices charged when no outlet is nearby—or, when an emergency strikes, keep your lights on.
