Anker’s 256Wh portable power station has nine ports for $170 low (Reg. $220), more from $299

The official Anker Amazon storefront is offering its 521 Portable Power Station for $169.99 shipped. Down from a $220 price tag, it only saw a few discounts over 2023, with the biggest of them dropping costs down to $187 over the summer. Back in February we saw it drop to the $170 low for the first time during Valentine’s Day sales before returning to its MSRP. Today’s deal comes in as a repeat of February’s 23% markdown and returns the price back to the all-time lowest we have tracked. This power station has been upgraded with a LiFePO4 battery, providing a 256Wh capacity and a max power output of 600W, which comes surge protected. It can be fully charged via a wall outlet and a USB-C port in 2.5 hours and via a 100W solar panel in 4.1 hours. Through the Anker app, you’ll be able to get real-time status updates, view your battery level, and set AC charging speeds. It also boasts nine different ports: one carport, one USB-C, three USB-As, and four AC outlets.
