Portable power stations are great for a whole range of reasons. Whether you're camping or enjoying off-grid adventures, or your home suffers from blackouts and weather emergencies, a power station can be worth its weight in gold. Thankfully, you don't have to spend that much to get one this Black Friday, with the the Anker Solix C800 priced at just $299 on Amazon.

If that sounds cheap, it's because it really is. That's 50% off the usual price and a deal that matches the lowest price we've ever seen this model sell for. The catch? We don't know how long this Black Friday deal will last. For that reason, we recommend ordering your new power station sooner to make sure you don't wind up paying more later.

The Anker Solix C800 is equipped with a 768 watt-hour battery, which is large enough to charge your phone almost 50 times or power a light for more than 40 hours. Plus, it has a 1,600-watt peak output, so it can handle some larger appliances like a mini fridge or Wi-Fi router.

There are five AC outlets, four USB ports and a car outlet so you can charge multiple devices at once. It even has a built-in storage compartment for extra cables. You can fully recharge it in just one hour with a standard outlet, and it weighs in at just 23 pounds, so it's fairly easy to move around.

Why this deal matters

Even if you won't be using it for camping, it's a good idea to keep a portable power station in the house for emergencies. They can get a little pricey, so this is a great chance to pick one up without breaking the bank. The Anker Solix C800 has a 768Wh battery, 1,600W peak output, recharges in just one hour and it's a steal at the record-low price of $299.
