This portable power station and solar panel keep everything running when the power goes out

TLDR: With its giant energy storage capabilities, the EcoFlow Delta is ready to deliver power to over a dozen sources at once in the event of a major power outage.

Now that hurricane and wildfire seasons are winding down, millions in the U.S. are now gearing up for the start of winter storm season. Midwest storms and Nor’Easters raging up the eastern U.S. coastline are no joke, prompting blizzards and winter storm warnings each year that plunge millions into power outages.

Look no further than last February’s horrifying series of storms that ripped across Texas, which left up to 4.5 million homes and businesses without power, many for several days while killing more than 200 people.

There’s no telling when power failures can literally turn into a life or death situation, but with backup like the EcoFlow Delta Power Station, residents can be prepared when Mother Nature unleashes her fury. Right now, a package including an EcoFlow Delta along with a 110W solar panel are on sale now at hundreds off their regular price, down to just $1,439 from TNW Deals.

Unlike smaller power batteries and storage devices, having equipment like the EcoFlow Delta on hand is a heavy-duty answer when the lights go out, built to be ready and deliver all the power needed at a moment’s notice. Designed for both form and function, the Delta features a giant 1260Wh of available storage power, capable of keeping a wide range of devices, tools, and appliances running for literally hours in the event of an emergency.

It can run a toaster for over an hour, a coffee maker for up to 60 cups, a laptop for nearly a day, and a 10-watt light for more than 36 hours. And if you’re worried about losing all that food you’ve got stashed in the freezer, the Delta can keep it icy cold in there for up to 20 hours if the power goes out.

Of course, you’ll probably only need the Delta for stop-gap protection, which is way the unit is just designed to work as long as possible — it’s also designed to work as smart as possible. With 6 AC outlets, another 6 USB ports, and even a 12-volt car port, users can literally plug in and feed power to up to 13 different devices all at once.

Meanwhile, the Delta has one of the fastest bouncebacks around when it comes to recharging when its energy stores start to dip. Backed by its X-Stream Recharge Technology, the power station has one of the fastest recharge times around, firing up its energy reserves from zero up to 80 percent in just an hour, with full power restored in two with the help of any wall outlet or gas generator. The Delta actually recharges at up to 10 times the speed of some of the most portable alternative power stations available from other makers.

And if power isn’t restored quickly, this collection also includes a 110-watt solar panel to recharge the Delta all on your own. Armed with heightened conversation rates of up to 22 percent through the quad-array of anti-reflective, high transparency cells, all you’ve got to is angle this panel toward the sun, plug it into the Delta, and keep all your equipment running without interruption.

Regularly $1,798, The EcoFlow Delta and the 110W Solar Panel are now on sale for over $300 off, down to just $1,439 while the current deal lasts.
