Suppose you often go off the beaten path, camping in the wilderness, or you’re just tired of running power cords across your yard for the kids to trip over whenever you want to plug in your phone and laptop while chilling in a lounge chair. Whichever the case, you need a portable power station. Luckily for you, the Bluetti EB3A is over $100 off right now at Amazon, dropping the power station to just $198 — its best price yet.
Don’t be fooled by its compact size; the Bluetti EB3A is a true powerhouse. With a robust 600W AC inverter and a 268Wh battery pack, it’s more than capable of breathing life into your gadgets. If you plug in one of those mini-fridges, it will even keep your… “juice” cold for a few hours.
Plus, it’s so lightweight and compact that you can easily carry it around in one hand, making it the perfect companion for your outdoor adventures.
The coolest part about the Bluetti EB3A is that it features nine outlets, allowing you to charge all sorts of devices. There are two AC outlets, two USB-A, one Type-C port, and even a wireless charger, so you can use the power station as a table for your phone and have it ready for your next doom-scrolling session in no time.
Those who love going off the grid can get the Bluetti EB3A and pair it with a solar panel. In fact, there’s a bundle that’s almost $200 off right now, pairing the EB3A with a 120W solar panel that is super easy to carry anywhere.
Of course, this setup is also excellent for home use, especially when there are power outages, and you need to keep your devices alive until things get fixed. Just find a sunny spot, open the solar panel, plug in your devices in the station, and wait for the power company to work its magic.
With or without the solar panel, the Bluetti EB3A is a fantastic addition to any home. It’s one of those things you don’t realize just how useful it can be until you’re desperate for a reliable power source.
If you want a lot more power, be prepared to shell out a lot more money, too. The Bluetti AC200MAX is $1249 for Prime members, down from its usual $1699. With a large battery capacity of 2048Wh and a strong inverter (2200W), this is a great choice for those who need power to keep large appliances going or folks who own an RV.
