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 as Amazon deals tend to fluctuate.
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.
