Labor Day weekend is upon us, and now is the time to get ready for that end-of-summer camping trip you’ve been planning. And while there are plenty of essentials to remember to pack, one thing you definitely shouldn’t forget is a portable power generator. A portable power generator can keep your devices powered during your off-grid adventures, and is ideal if you want to keep your phone, camera, tablet, and other electronic devices up and running. If you don’t have one, don’t worry: You can snag an editor-approved model for less right now.
Anker 535 portable power station
At Amazon, you can grab the Anker 535 portable power station for 40 percent off. This deal will save you $200, making this power station currently only $300. And best of all, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this model, so we can’t wait to get in on this amazing deal.
Our editors have named this model one of the best in its category. In our guide to the best portable power stations, this model was named the best small portable power station. “The Anker Portable Power Station 535 is designed for smaller power needs and is ideal as a mobile charging station for your devices,” wrote test editor Bradley Ford in the guide. “It is not designed for loads over 500 watts: That means no hair dryers, toasters or coffee makers.”
However, one feature in particular caught our editors’ eye: “When it comes to charging your devices, one of our favorite features, Power Saver Mode, automatically turns the 535 off once devices are fully charged,” Ford wrote. “We measured charging from 0 to 100 percent at 4 hours and 56 minutes using a standard wall outlet.”
So if you’re looking for a portable power station to keep your devices running while camping this summer and fall, consider picking up the Anker 535 at its lowest price yet.
