I don’t want to sound alarmist or anything (although I admit I’m naturally pessimistic), but the way things are going, it’s a good idea to have an extra source of power for your home in case of storms and other outages. Luckily, EcoFlow is running a sale through March 26th, letting you save on several of its portable batteries and power stations. For example, the Delta Pro 3 is a scalable power unit that can power everything from a family picnic to an entire home during a blackout. It’s on sale at Amazon for $2,899, which is $700 off its usual $3,699 list price and the best price we’ve seen to date.
Our reviewer was very impressed with the Delta Pro 3, especially its versatility. It has the ability to power both 120V and 240V appliances, and can plug directly into your home’s circuit using an inlet box or manual transfer switch. It can be charged using 1000W and 16000 solar inputs or an AC wall charger, among other charging methods. And you can link multiple DP3 units together to increase their output, so that, say, three units connected to an EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 (which is also on sale at Amazon for $1,399, or $500 off) can provide enough power to keep a typical home running for a day and a half. Read our review.
On the other hand, if you’re just looking for something to use when camping or enjoying additional outdoor activities, EcoFlow’s River 3 Portable Power Station is down to $189 (from $338) at Amazon with a 45W solar panel, which nearly matches its all-time low. It can quickly charge appliances with anywhere from a 300W to 600W AC output, and uses its own solar panel to completely repower it in a little over six hours. That means you can place it in the sun while you’re hiking around and use it to power your games at night.
