Why You Can Trust CNET Grab This Mango Power E Portable Power Station Bundle for $3,704 (Save $1,291)
This bundle comes with two free solar panels to keep you powered up through outages or while you're off the grid.
Whether you need a backup power source during outages at home or want to take a power source with you while camping off the grid, investing in a portable power station is a good idea. Wellbots has marked down several power station bundles, and right now you can get the Mango Power E portable power station, along with two 200W solar panels, for $3,704 -- and CNET readers can save an additional 5% on their purchase when they use code CNETBACKUP at checkout, bringing the total savings to $1,291. And you can use that same code on the other bundles, too, if you decide to upgrade. This offer is available now through July 4.
This portable power station has a battery capacity of 3,500 watt-hours, as well as 16 output ports, including four AC ports, six USB-A ports, a USB-C port and more, making it easy to keep all your most important devices charged. Plus, it includes wheels and a handle for easy transport. The Mango Power E also offers fast charging, reaching up to 80% charged in an hour. There's also an app that'll help you control the device, including by regulating charging speeds when you need to. And you'll get two free foldable 200W solar panels with your purchase.
However, if you need more power, you may want to invest in one of the other options available at Wellbots. To run major appliances, you'll need an mSocket Pro and a second battery -- you can get all that, along with four solar panels, in this $7,409 option (save $2,385). Additionally, Wellbots says these bundles are eligible for a 30% federal tax credit and that it has more information available on its website.
