Be prepared for power loss with the Anker Solix C1000, now $349

Power outages are a fact of life that everyone has to end up learning to live with, but just because they’re inevitable, it doesn’t mean you can’t be better prepared, and with this deal on the Anker Solix C1000, you’ll definitely be prepared. The Solix C1000 is a portable power station that normally retails for $449. However, Black Friday deals have started early on Amazon, so the price has come down to $349.

While this would mainly be a tool to help in the event of power loss at home, these are also excellent devices to have on hand when out camping, as they can provide you and others with a way to charge or power electronics. It has a 1,024Wh battery inside, which is enough to charge up your phone 50 times.

It has several ports for plugging stuff in, too. There are three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and then, toward the bottom, there are five AC outlets to use. This thing even supports solar panels, so you can recharge it with the power of the sun, assuming you’re using this on a sunny day. It has a huge power output of 2,000W, but it can go up to a peak output of 3,000W if the sudden need arises. It’s also not too large, either. It’s about the size of a larger toaster, so you could easily tuck it into several little spaces around the home when it’s time to store it.
