We’re in the thick of hurricane and thunderstorm season and with that comes a higher chance for power outages. For those unexpected moments when power is down for an undetermined time, a portable power station can (quite literally) amplify your readiness. It’ll charge your devices while you wait things out but it can also be handy if you’re ever away from home.
Just in time, we found a “great little gadget to have” during emergencies that can charge those devices in a jiffy, and right now it’s up to 42% off its typical price (with the best deal being on the one in green). The device has eight outlet ports, including one USB-C, two USB-A and two quick-charging USB-A. Plus, it even has a built-in LED light for seeing in the dark. This model is compact enough to easily be stowed away in your car in case of emergencies!
This mini power station also features an LCD to show you how much charge it has and how much power it’s outputting to other devices. You’ll also find the LED light convenient with its three power modes, plus it has an SOS signal pattern.
The little guy is surprisingly compact, weighing less than four pounds, but reviewers say it’s a powerhouse. “I moved to Texas where I didn’t know hurricanes were common,” says one reviewer. “I purchased this after being without power twice. This little generator was able to go without charging for two to three days!”
“I recently purchased the 88wh and it exceeded my expectations. Its compact size and lightweight design made it easy to carry, and the lithium battery provided ample power for all my devices. The fast charging feature was a lifesaver, quickly recharging my phone and camera. I also appreciated the solar generator option, which came in handy when we were off-grid. Overall, this power station is reliable, efficient, and perfect for outdoor adventures. Highly recommended!” — Shop till you drop

“I bought this because I sell at swap meets and sometimes people want to see plug in items work. I have it for emergencies too. Recently I went traveling and a recommended item on a travel blog for my destination was this item. Well, I was traveling to Maui! We got caught in West Maui where all power went down and all we had was this for 3 days. It saved us. I couldn’t believe I needed it for a genuine emergency situation. We were trapped by the fire and able to eventually charge many items. We even charged my switch on it to have some kind of entertainment at night. It was SO dark there because the entire island side we were on had no lights. The light on this is very bright. Unfortunately the plan of the fire was to come was to run to the ocean. This light is so bright I was actually confident we would be able to signal and it blinks. When we evacuated to the airport everyone was using charging and during the lines and TSA we were able to plug into it. In the airplane it also charged up way faster than airplane charge. Seriously it even saved me then. I had my Nintendo plugged into the airplane and I couldn’t even get to 4% after 10 m. I got frustrated and pulled this out and had it up to 10-15%. This lasted us a four day outage and I won’t travel anywhere without it. I’m getting another for my car to just have. It’s something that when you need it, you NEED it.” — Anna
“I rarely write reviews because honestly who has time BUT this thing is a BEAST!!! I just returned from a week in Cuba (yes it was planned and yes it was on purpose) and they have power outages frequently/daily. I wanted to be able to charge my fan and phone during said outages. When we had power for a few hours, I would make sure to charge the battery pack. I used the battery pack continually for over 10 hours and not even one bar disappeared meaning it was still fully charged. After a few nights with my very loud roommate, I also decided to use my white noise machine so so could sleep. Again I used my battery pack to plug in the noise machine and it lasted all night so I could sleep. I HIGHLY recommend this product. Do not hesitate in purchasing it. It works great and was even charged right out of the box. Very easy to use.” — Victoria Gabroy
“I love this battery saver. I bought this because my power goes out a lot during storms. I received this and it charged quickly and storms were coming and I checked the charge and it was still full, this was after a month of having the batter saver. I love the bright light it has and all the charging areas that you are able to charge your phone or whatever. I do recommend this product.” — Princess Julie
“I’ve been using this MARBERO portable power supply during my travels and it’s been a total game-changer! It’s compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around the handle is super convenient too. I’ve used it to charge my phone, camera, and even a small fan, and it handled everything with no problem. It has multiple USB ports and even AC and DC output, which makes it super versatile. The battery life is solid, and it charges fairly quickly. Perfect for road trips, camping, or just as backup during power outages. Highly recommend!” — Valeri
