June 21 is on the calendar. We all lie about that.
Real summer starts when the clocks spring forward and Memorial Day weekend hits. The weekend is right around the corner. You need to move.
Portable power stations had a weird moment last year. Now? They are essential gear.
You’re going camping. Or just sitting in the yard complaining about the heat either way you need to keep your devices alive. Phones. Speakers. Those earbuds that lose a side every other Tuesday. Plus if you have an electric air pump for a kayak or raft you know the panic of dying battery right when you’re three quarters of the way done with the inflatable.
Deals are up. Some arrive before the highway clogs on Friday. Here’s what to grab.
Anker Solix C1010
The safe bet. The Anker Solix 1056Wh holds enough juice to charge your phones repeatedly and run the string lights that make the tent look civilized rather than like a prison cell.
Why it wins: It has a built-in light. Most don’t. You plug things in without feeling like a bat.
If you lean toward “glamping” read the full Mashable review here because this thing runs the air fryer and coffee maker too. You can eat at home anywhere. That’s the goal isn’t it.
Jackery Explorer 1025 Ultra
It rains. It rains all the time if you look for it.
This unit is IP65 rated. That is rare. Dust-proof water-resistant to light splashes. Take it to the shed sit it on sawdust. Leave it out when a cold front drops the temp.
It doesn’t mind.
DJI Power 515
Everyone knows DJI drones. They’ve been quietly building battery packs for the last two years.
Check Mashable’s review of the Power 1052 here.
Creators love this for one reason: SDC ports.
SDC is super-fast charging. Specifically for DJI batteries. You drop in your drone batteries they sip power quickly and you’re back in the air. Less time waiting. More time shooting.
Even if you don’t own a drone the price is right. $365.97 for over a kilowatt hour. Quiet enough for a bedroom blackout too.
Buy today. The week gets busy tomorrow.

We don’t wrap it up because life doesn’t end when you unplug.
