Whether it’s just for camping or in case of an emergency, having a power station handy can save you a lot of hassle if you don’t have access to a wall outlet. Plenty of fantastic power stations can handle most people’s daily needs, but there are fewer options for anyone with more demanding use cases. With just over 3.5KWh of LiFePO4 cells made by CATL for EVs, 3000W of AC power, and 16 total outputs, including a 30A RV port, the Mango Power E is 100 lbs of overkill packed into a body that’s hardly bigger than a carry-on bag.

Jackery has been the big name in power stations for a while, and is probably the first company that comes to mind when anyone mentions the words. That's even more impressive when battery brands like Duracell and Energizer are in on the competition.

Ecoflow Delta 2 review: Wall power without the wall

Ultra-portable, Ultra-powerful

Ecoflow is no newcomer to the portable power station market, and the Delta 2 shows that EcoFlow isn’t just going to sit back and rest on its laurels. The original Delta power station was great but had room to improve. While it has a slightly reduced capacity compared to the original, the Delta 2's price is also lower at $1,000. That may sound like a lot for a battery, but looking at other big players in the space, like Anker or Jackery, makes it clear that the Delta 2 is actually priced fairly competitively.

As a proprietor of portable power, EcoFlow just launched its latest DELTA Max Power Station, available for purchase starting today.

Anyone who has ever attended a middle school dance knows the words to the disco classic ‘Electric Boogie’ by Bunny Wailer. The lyrics of that song proclaim “Now you can't hold it, it's electric (boogie woogie woogie).”

There is nothing worse than getting into your car as you prepare to leave for work and discovering your battery is dead. You could call AAA - if you have a membership, your parents - if they live close by, or a friend - if you have any of those. Regardless of whom you call, by the time they get there, you are going to be late to work.The other option is to buy a portable battery pack that doubles as a car jump-starter and keep it in your trunk for just such occasions. There are a ton of different companies that make these things, and today, one of them is on sale.Nekteck's 12000mAh battery, with 600A peak output, can be yours for $49.99 after a $30 off coupon code on Amazon. It'll jump start a 5L gas engine, or 3L diesel engine, up to 12 times on a single charge (good for an after-game tailgate party where everyone passes out and forgets to turn off their headlights).It also has two USB ports that you can use to charge your other electronics and an LED flashlight which is useful for seeing stuff in the dark, like your dead car battery. Bundled with the battery is a 12V car charger, a MicroUSB cable, and jumper cables that plug into the power bank. Oh, and it also has a zippered case to carry all this stuff so it won't clutter your trunk.Reviews are solid, with a 4.9 star rating. Sure, some of the five-star reviews are from people who got the device for free in exchange for an 'unbiased review', but the bulk of the positive reviews are from legit customers. The battery has a 12 month warranty and is backed by Amazon's 30 day return policy, so if it doesn't perform as you expect you are covered.Use coupon code NG9NY4DV at checkout to get the discounted price.Source: Amazon
