The best Black Friday deals on portable power stations: Jackery, Bluetti, and DJI are still at record lows
Scouring the Black Friday sales this year has been interesting. While some categories are off to a slow, underwhelming start (I’m looking at you, Ninja), the portable power station market is fully going for it.
I’m not a doomsday prepper, but I am someone who lives in a storm-prone area where the power goes out if the wind blows the wrong way. So, I track these prices religiously. And right now, we're still seeing deals that match, and in some cases actually beat the record lows we saw during Prime Day. If you’ve been stressed about keeping your devices charged during a winter storm or just want a reliable backup for camping, now's the time to shop.
The discounts are surprisingly good this year, with major brands like Bluetti, Jackery, EF EcoFlow, and Anker offering 40% to 60% off. Even DJI, which is usually pretty stubborn with its pricing, is getting in on the action.

Best Black Friday Jackery power station deal
Why we like it
I love a heavy-duty home backup system, but I am not trying to haul a 50-pound generator around unless I absolutely have to. For camping trips, beach days, or just keeping my iPad alive during a spotty power outage, I want something I can carry in one hand.
As of Nov. 29, the Jackery Explorer 240D is still on sale for $132 at Amazon. That's a 37% discount (or a $77 price cut) off its $209 list price, and it's the best deal we've seen on this specific model. If you want to save even more, Jackery is offering an extra $200 off to customers who subscribe to its newsletter, but that coupon is only valid on orders over $2,000, so it won't apply to this deal specifically.
The 240D uses a LiFePO4 battery, which means it has a 10-year lifespan and can handle 4,000+ charge cycles (the old ones could only do about 500). It packs 256Wh of capacity into a tiny 4.85-pound box, so you can fast-charge your laptop, phone, or drone directly via its 140W USB-C ports.
Just keep in mind: This is a "power bank" style station, meaning it has USB ports but no AC wall outlet. It’s designed for devices, not appliances. But for $132, it’s the perfect "just in case" gadget to keep in your closet.

Best Black Friday Anker power station deal
Why we like it
Read our full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station.
If you need something with a bit more oomph than the Jackery 240D but aren't trying to spend $1,000, this is the sweet spot. The Anker Solix C1000 hits that perfect middle ground for capacity and portability, and right now, it's half off.
As of Nov. 29, the Anker Solix C1000 is still on sale for $397 at Amazon. That's a 50% discount (or a $402 price cut) off its $799 list price. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model since Prime Day (it was $399 in October).
The Solix C1000 is a Mashable Choice Award winner. Mashable's Lauren Allain tested this unit extensively, from powering an outdoor movie night to keeping her essentials running during a power outage, and called it "simply perfect." She specifically praised its "awesome price-to-features ratio" and its incredibly fast recharge time (0 to 100% in under an hour!).
With 1,056Wh of capacity and 1,800W of output, it can handle everything from a CPAP machine (for 18+ hours) to a full-size fridge (for up to 14 hours). And if you decide later that you need even more juice, you can double its capacity with an expansion battery.

Best Black Friday Bluetti power station deal
Why we like it
If you missed the Anker deal above (or if you just want a little more juice), this is the one to grab. It's a direct competitor that sits in that same "Goldilocks" zone of size and power, but with a few extra perks.
As of Nov. 29, the Bluetti AC180 is still on sale for $409 at Amazon. That's 41% off its usual $699 price tag, saving you nearly $300. (It hit this new all-time low yesterday, according to CamelCamelCamel.)
Here's why you might choose this one over the others: It has a slightly larger battery (1,152Wh) and a specialized "Power Lifting" mode. This boosts the output to 2,700W to handle resistive loads, meaning you can run high-wattage essentials like a space heater or electric kettle without tripping the unit. It also charges super fast (0-80% in just 45 minutes) and works as a reliable UPS backup for your computer or CPAP.

Best Black Friday DJI power station deal
Why we like it
DJI is known for its drones, not its discounts, so seeing the DJI Power 1000 drop this low is a genuinely pleasant surprise. If you're a drone pilot or just someone who hates the loud humming noise most power stations make, this is the deal for you.
As of Nov. 29, the DJI Power 1000 is still on sale for $449 at Amazon. That's 36% off its $699 list price, and $250 in savings.
It operates at just 23dB, which is quieter than a whisper. You can charge it right next to your bed and not even hear it. For drone owners, it has dedicated SDC ports that can fast-charge select DJI drone batteries from 10% to 95% in just 32 minutes. It also has a 1,024Wh capacity and dual 140W USB-C ports for your non-drone gear.

Best Black Friday EF EcoFlow power station deal
Why we like it
If you’re looking for a true "off-grid" ready kit, buying a power station on its own is only half the battle. Usually, adding a decent solar panel will set you back another $300 or more. That’s why this bundle deal is so good — it includes the panel for a price that beats many standalone stations.
As of Nov. 29, the EF ECOFLOW Solar Generator Delta 2 Bundle is on sale for $529 at Amazon. This bundle includes the excellent Delta 2 power station (1,024Wh capacity, LiFePO4 battery) plus a 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel.
"Bifacial" just means it captures sunlight on both sides (ambient light on the back), which EcoFlow says can increase energy capture by up to 25%. Combined with the Delta 2's fast charging and 1,800W output, this is a turnkey solution for camping or emergency backup.
