Halloween is approaching and the temperatures are dropping. Only a few more weeks until we roll the clocks back and decide 5 p.m. is the ideal time for pajamas. This season is also likely to bring storms that can knock out power. Instead of sitting in the dark, upgrade the experience with a portable power station. One of my favorite models just went on a major sale at Amazon.

As of Oct. 20, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is on sale for $397.99 at Amazon, marked down from the standard price of $799. That’s a savings of $402 and a major 50% discount. Today’s price marks the lowest we’ve ever seen at Amazon.

The original Anker Solix C1000 is a star, and the new Gen 2 ups the game in terms of shorter recharging times and smaller dimensions. When I was reviewing the new model, I found it to be easier to carry both in weight and in overall size.

Anker also knocked it out of the park with recharging, and the Solix C1000 Gen 2 earned itself a Guinness World Record for recharging in under 49 minutes. With that speed, you should still have time to get sufficient charge even if you forget to plug it in until the storm hits.

With a 1,024Wh capacity, you’ll be able to keep cell phones charged during the next outage, as well as the WiFi router and a few lights. Overall, the Solix C1000 Gen 2 packs in three USB-C ports, one USB-A, and five standard AC. Since it’s so compact and lightweight, it could be a great model to keep in the bedroom closet in case of a power outage and it won’t be a huge ask to bring it inside if you store it in the garage.

Before the fall storms knock out power, get equipped with the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 while it’s down to a new all-time low-price at Amazon. The LiFePO4 can last for about 10 years which brings the price down to under $40 per year. Plus, it’ll be great for summer camping trips.
