This special price cuts $50 off the original $220 asking price and doesn't require any of those pesky discount codes or on-screen coupons. However, it's worth noting that there is no indication of when this deal is going to end, so consider ordering now to lock in this discount.
This is definitely a deal you won't want to miss. The Anker 521 can power a mini fridge for more than 5 hours and charge your average camera more than 15 times before it runs out of juice.
You won't struggle for ways to plug things in, either. The Anker 521 comes with two AC outlets, as well as two USB-A output ports. There's also a single USB-C port capable of powering things at up to 60W, which is enough for most laptops and more than enough for phones and tablets. There's even a 12-volt car outlet, too.
Charging the Anker 521 will take just 2.5 hours, and a power-saving mode ensures that no battery power will be wasted. There's even a display to show you the current battery situation as well. All of that and more makes this a portable power station, the likes of which you won't want to be without.
