Portable power stations are becoming an increasingly popular touring essential for motorhomers and campervanners. They give you the freedom to use your favourite electrical gadgets when you don’t have hook-up and without touching your leisure battery. The good news for those on the hunt for one is that Prime Day is the ideal time to buy one, with some of our favourite options available for big discounts.
Offering convenient access to an inverter and a variety of sockets, the best portable power station will allow you to operate your favourite gadgets, such as an air fryer, without using your ‘van as a source of power.
If you’ve been thinking of getting one to enhance your touring setup, there are some excellent savings to be had in the Prime Day sale on four of our favourites, with products from EcoFlow, Jackery, Anker and Bluetti. We’ve also used the price tracking tool Affilitizer to highlight just how good the savings are.

The best Prime Day portable power station deals
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 was £419 now £379 (save 10%)
The Explorer 1000 v2 is one of our favourites on the market and is an update of what we found to be an effective model when we tested the original Explorer 1000. The latest model has an output of 1500W and a surge peak of 3000W, while we like the good selection of ports it comes with, which include two USB-C ports, one USB-A, one DC Car and two Pure Sine Wave AC sockets. A handle should help to make its 10.8kg weight fairly straightforward to move around. It’s currently available with a 10% saving, which matches the lowest price it’s been since its launch. You may think that’s not as huge a discount as some of the options in our guide, but when it launched, it had an RRP of £899. It’s also available with a 100W solar panel in the Prime Day sale, where it’s reduced by 22% to £521.

EcoFlow Delta 3 Max was £1,199 now £759 (save 37%)
A power house option with a capacity of 2048Wh, the Delta 3 Max is currently the cheapest we’ve seen it on Amazon. It offers an impressive nine outputs, including four AC sockets (2400W total, Surge 4800W), three USB-Cs, one USB-A and a 12V DC, and could be used for operating a 1150w electric grill for up to 1.52 hours. It’s heavy, with a weight of 20.3kg, but it’s actually lighter and more compact in comparison to other power banks on the market with similar capacities. It’s also impressively quick to charge, capable of going from 0% to 80% in 51 minutes. It’s currently available with a 37% discount, bringing it down to £759 this Prime.

Bluetti EB3A was £239 now £179 (save 25%)
This lightweight Bluetti offers a capacity of 268.8Wh and very much lives up to the portable part, with a weight of only 4.6kg. While not offering the capacity seen in the Jackery and the Ecoflow, it has a good selection of ports, including a 12V socket, two USB-As, one USB-C, one AC/600W socket, and two 12V DC sockets, and we also like how it has a wireless charging pad. When we tested it, we found it could keep four iPhones and a laptop topped up when our reviewer went off-grid for a couple of days. A 25% saving brings it down to only £179, which matches the lowest price it has had since last July, when it dropped to £169.

Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 was £599 now £462 (save 23%)
A little heavier than the Jackery but with more sockets (it features four AC sockets (2000W), one USB-A, 3 USB-C and one 120W car port), the Solix C1000 Gen 2 has a capacity of 1024Wh. The second-generation model may weigh 11.3kg, but is still lighter and more compact than the original. It could run a microwave for 0.6 hours or an electric grill for up to 0.9 hours, and impressively, could reach a full charge via a 1600W AC outlet in a mere 49 minutes. A 23% saving brings it down to £462, which is the cheapest it’s ever been on Amazon.
