Portable power stations have become a practical option for backup power, workshops, and travel, and Amazon's Prime Day promotion puts the Bluetti Elite 300 at $1,000. That is $500 off its list price, and WIRED says it is the lowest price seen for this model, which typically hovers around $1,100 to $1,200.
The station has a 3,014-watt-hour battery in a compact body with built-in handles, enough to run a fridge or TV for a weekend. It delivers 2,400 watts continuously and 4,800 watts on surge, and it can take up to 1,200 watts from solar panels, reaching a full charge in just over four hours under ideal conditions. It can also charge from an outlet and solar at the same time.
Ports include AC outlets, USB-C, USB-A, a car socket, a barrel port, and a TT-30 for RVs. The unit also works as an uninterruptible power supply with a 10-millisecond delay. At just under 58 pounds, it is not meant for long carries, but WIRED notes that power stations often go on sale, making this deal notable as the lowest recorded price for this model.
