In the last few weeks, a handful of Amazon's best portable power stations from brands like Bluetti, Ecoflow, and even Jackery have taken sizable discounts just ahead of summer vacation and camping season. Now, it's the site's shopper-favorite model that's on sale, and it's down to the lowest price since its release thanks to a special coupon.
The Marbero 80-Watt Portable Power Station is now on sale for just $65 on Amazon after an on-page coupon—a 41% discount on the normal price of $110. This compact power station is Amazon's No. 1 bestselling model with over 4,000 purchased in the last month and nearly 3,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who call it a "must-have" for camping, outages, picnics, and everyday battery backup. It's available in larger sizes up to 300 watts of output and is also available in a bundle deal with a solar panel for just $60 more with a coupon.

Make no mistake, this is a very tiny power station. But what it lacks in size it makes up for with convenience. Measuring 6.5-by-4.6-by-3.1 inches and weighing just over 3 pounds, it's about the size of a standard brick, which means it can easily fit inside a backpack and go wherever you go. It's equipped with eight total ports, including two AC ports, four USB ports, one USB-C port, and one DC out port. It also comes with a built-in flashlight that can be used for nearly 40 hours on the brightest setting. There's even a cooling vent that helps prevent overheating. Though it's not the solution you'll want for powering large devices long-term, it's a perfectly worthy companion for charging small electronics, camera batteries, portable speakers, and even small electric coolers.
Despite its size, shoppers say this ultra-portable power station is a quality piece of camping gear, is quite versatile, and charges efficiently. "Packs a lot of punch for a little generator," one shopper said. "I purchased it for the purpose of powering my laptop and phone during an outdoor promo tent event and the unit lasted five hours straight, non-stop. After my laptop died, just plugged it in and kept chugging…I was able to continue to use [it] the following day while being outdoors at a park using my mobile hotspot and it lasted an additional three hours so it looks like it has a total of about eight hours of simultaneous charge time for a low-powered laptop and mobile device such as a phone."

Other shoppers have found it's a big help outdoors, and not just for camping. "I got this charger for doing school work on the go," a shopper said. "I am an avid traveler, and I do a lot of off-grid camping and car camping. I am also a full-time student online. I was getting extremely burnt out going to coffee shops in every town, sitting for hours hooked up, burning time I could be in nature to do my homework on the road. I read several reviews of many options and needed something that would charge my laptop two to four times so I wouldn't have to go into town as often. This thing is it…It's great—does not overheat, doesn't randomly die, or pretend to be charged."
With outdoor and open-road adventures on the horizon, it's wise to have a battery backup on hand so you can stay off-grid as long as possible. It's easier now than ever with the Marbero portable power station on sale for just $65. We're not sure when the price is going to shoot back up, but we're guessing it will so make sure to get yours soon.
