Why this deal is -recommended

Winter is coming. A time for storms and power outages. And it seems like blackouts are in the cards for us in the UK.

What better time to invest in a battery power station, the modern answer to the noisy, smelly, dangerous gasoline generator.

Think of a battery power station as a big power bank. You charge up your power station while the power is on (or use a solar panel if the weather permits), and then use that stored power when you need it.

The bigger your power station, the more power you can store.

The Bluetti AC200MAX offers a lot of power in a -- sort of -- portable package.
