Want to beat the sales rush with Black Friday portable power station deals? While the sales official start on November 28 until December 1, I've spotted some big early discounts on power supplies.
Right now, it's a mixed bag, with some deals cheaper than they were last year, but most are about the same - so it's a good time to buy, but might be worth waiting for the full sales to start. Expect more once Best Buy begins its early Black Friday sale (it starts on October 31). In the UK, though, only Amazon seems to be offering limited-time deals, with other retailers yet to cut prices. I've listed my top picks below, but if you're in the UK, I'd recommend waiting unless the discount is massive.
What's new? A month out from the official start, but I'm already spying some big discounts on some of my top-rated power station units - and I've started collating them right here.

Black Friday portable power station deals: Buying advice
When does Black Friday and Cyber Monday start and end?
Officially, Black Friday 2025 begins on November 28, and closes at the end of Cyber Monday on December 1.
However, as you can see, early deals on portable power stations are already available, and some retailers like Wellbot and Best Buy are beginning their sales early this year if you want to beat the sales rush.
Which portable power station deal should I choose during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Below, I've listed the minimum recommended specs for a range of uses, so you can check your chosen deal meets your demands.
Specs | General use | Jobsites | RVs | Home back-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Capacity (Wh) | 256Wh and above | 1024Wh and above | 2048Wh and above | 2048Wh and above |
Output (W) | 300W and above | 1000W and above | 1500W and above | 2000W and above |

What features should I check when selecting the right portable power station deal?
I've covered this in greater depth in my guide to the top-rated portable power stations, but here's the Cliff's Notes version...
Battery capacity
In short, the higher the Wh (Watt Hours), the longer the battery will last, but the heavier the unit will be.
Output
Output determines how much continuous power can be delivered to devices or appliances. Smaller devices like laptops need around 100W; larger appliances like coolers can need up to 800W, and will need a higher battery capacity.
UPS
UPS stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply, and not every power station will have this. It gives the unit the ability to switch from mains power to portable power station in the case of an outage or blackout. Times are usually given in milliseconds (it's fast), and you'll want the fastest switchover time possible to ensure devices like routers and medical equipment stay connected.
High surge wattage
Only a concern for portable power stations destined for work-sites really - certain machinery and tools draw a huge amount of power, and this will stop the power station from tripping out.
Solar power
Almost all portable power stations from the likes of EcoFlow, Jackery, Bluetti, and Anker support solar panels for off-grid power and will have ports for these. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I often see discounts on units with solar panels bundled in.
Ports
Look for a minimum of five ports on a unit - typically, this will be along the lines of two mains and three USB-C, but many will also include 12V ports for charging via your car's cigarette lighter. Some, like DJI's range, also support drone charging. The more ports, the more devices you can charge at once.
How can I find the best deals on portable power station during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Here are my three top tips for getting a good portable power station deal this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
1. Bookmark this page
As an irrepressible deal-hunter, From now and throughout Black Friday until the end of Cyber Monday, I'll be regularly updating this page with the best deals and lowest prices on portable power stations, especially ones me and the team have personally reviewed. I'll be drawing on my years of experience testing these units and covering big sales events like Black Friday, as well as checking the deals are as good as they claim using tools like CamelCamelCamel.
2. Consider and research
The best tip I can offer is this: know what you need before you commit to a purchase. Above, you'll see my recommended minimum specs for general, professional, RV, and home back-up users. This will ensure the portable power station you buy over Black Friday and Cyber Monday will properly fit your needs. While prices don't tend to shift too much during the sales, I still recommend monitoring prices and setting up alerts for price-drop notifications.
3. Price vs value
The cheapest portable power stations aren't necessarily the best options - and don't always equal value for money. Now, I'll always link out to power stations we've reviewed that do offer good value for money, but beyond that, I'd recommend choosing known brands that have tested well by me and the team, such as EcoFlow, Bluetti, Anker, and Jackery. All of these have a range of budget, mid-range, and high-end units that have scored highly during our testing, offering reliable power supply and a wide range of features.
