Get compact personal backup power with Anker’s 521 portable LiFePO4 station at $170 (Reg. $200+)

$30+ off/$170

Through its official Amazon storefront, Anker has dropped the price on its 521 Portable Power Station to $169.99 shipped. This unit normally carries a $200 price tag at full here, with the brand’s direct website pricing it higher with a $250 MSRP. Discounts on this model regularly bring the cost down to $170 or its $160 low, with many Lightning deals staggered between longer-lasting price cuts. Anker’s direct website is currently having a flash sale on it for $180, which is beaten out here at Amazon by $10 for a solid $30 off the going rate ($80 off its MSRP) at the second-best price we have tracked.

While this isn’t one of the latest models from the brand, the Anker 521 power station has been upgraded with LiFePO4 battery cells. It comes as a more compact personal backup power solution that provides a 256Wh capacity to keep your devices juiced up while out travelling or as an emergency means during blackouts. It comes surge protected, delivering up to 600W of output power through its six port options – two ACs, two USB-As, one USB-C, and one car port. There are multiple ways to recharge its battery: via a wall outlet, the USB-C port, with a 65W solar panel, or with your car’s auxiliary port.

There are a few ongoing power station sales from other brands for alternative options, like the four solar generator bundles from EcoFlow’s ongoing Mother’s Day Sale, which include a new low on the DELTA 2 Max Solar Generator bundle with two 220W panels and a free protective bag for the station at $1,424. The brand also has a parallel Spring-to-Summer Sale that will be ending on May 18. We’ve also got two exclusive deals we’ve secured for our readers still going right now, which can save you $800 on Jackery’s new Explorer 3000 v2 LiFePO4 Power Station at $1,699 or save you $780 on a like-new refurbished Anker SOLIX F3800 LiFePO4 Power Station for $1,899. There’s a few other hangover deals/sales from last week in our Electrified Weekly coverage, or you can go to our Green Deals hub for everything together.
