Power stations are remarkably versatile these days – I should know, I make a living reviewing them and even introduced the new best portable power station category in the T3 Awards this year. Better still, there is no shortage of brilliant deals on units in both the US and the UK for Cyber Monday!

Best Cyber Monday portable power station deals: what you need to know
Start by deciding how you plan to use it. Camping and travel only require a small or mid-capacity unit, while home backup or running appliances during power cuts means you’ll need far more battery capacity and a higher-wattage inverter.
Capacity, measured in watt-hours, tells you how long the station can run your gear. Output, measured in watts, tells you what you can actually plug in without tripping the system. A fridge, induction hob or power tool needs far more power than a laptop or phone.
It’s also worth checking the battery chemistry. Modern LiFePO₄ batteries last far longer and handle daily use better than older lithium-ion packs, making them a smart buy when the price drops. Look at how many ports you get, too.
A good station should offer multiple USB-C ports, a proper AC socket and a 12-volt outlet if you plan to power camping fridges or lights. Fast charging is another big convenience feature, especially if you want to top up quickly before a trip.
Cyber Monday deals can make oversized power stations look tempting, but it’s better to match your purchase to your real needs. Check customer reviews for real-world runtimes, noise levels and build quality, then look for strong discounts on models that genuinely fit your lifestyle.
