Labor Day is the ideal weekend for one last long camping trip before fall’s arrival. If you plan to go somewhere off-grid, you don’t have to be without power. Amazon is offering up to 38 percent off Goal Zero Portable Power Stations.
The most substantial discount is on the Yeti 6000X, which is down to $3,749 from almost six grand. Featuring 6,071 watt hours of capacity, this portable power station is excellent as an emergency backup, with the ability to run small and large appliances, personal electronics, and critical medical equipment. It includes two 2,000-watt AC outlets (3,500-watt surge), a 60-watt USB-C port with Power Delivery, and two USB-A ports. Goal Zero estimates the Yeti 6000X can run a portable fridge for over a week, which is plenty of time if the grid goes down.
You can also save 20 percent on the Yeti 3000X, which test editor Bradley Ford picked as the best solar-powered portable power station. During his testing, the Yeti powered a full-size fridge, a 60-watt light, and a radio for 38 hours. Ford also recharged his laptop and iPhone during that time, making this an excellent option for remote workers who find themselves away from an outlet. This model features a 3,032-watt-hour (Wh) battery and 2,000-watt AC inverter (3,500-watt surge). And with support for a home integration kit, it can connect to as many as four of your house’s electrical circuits for always-on backup power.
Finally, Amazon is also offering a 27 percent discount on the Yeti 200X, a much smaller option for portable power. Weighing in at only 5 pounds, this model is the most portable. It features a 187-Wh battery and can output 187 watts. There are two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, a 120-volt AC inverter, and a 12-volt car port—enough to charge various electronics during a getaway by the lake. If you want to extend your off-grid journey, the Yeti 200X supports the Yeti Zero Nomad 20, turning the power station into a solar generator.
Whether you have plans to go off-grid or want to be prepared for a potential power outage, you can save some good money on these Goal Zero power stations. The discounts are only good through September 5.
