The summer isn’t just a time to get outdoors; it’s also the perfect opportunity to disconnect from constant notifications. Still, despite our best efforts to escape our inboxes, it’s hard to leave our phones, laptops, and other electronics behind. If you’re going camping for Memorial Day weekend, a portable power station can keep your devices charged, upgrading your rugged outdoor experience with the comforts of home.

There are two camp-ready power stations on sale at Amazon for up to 33 percent off, including the Anker PowerCore Reserve 192Wh Portable Power Station and the Ugreen 153Wh Portable Power Station. First up is the Anker, which features a 192-watt-hour battery suited for charging smaller electronics. It has a 60-watt USB-C port, making it possible to charge a MacBook Air a few times over. You could work off the grid with nothing but your laptop and the Anker power station.

One of the standout features of the Anker is its built-in retractable light, which will last for over 40 hours on a full charge. It offers two brightness modes, making it easy to adjust the illumination to suit your needs. There’s also an SOS mode for emergencies: Pressing the SOS button activates a flashing light that transmits the international SOS signal in Morse code.

The Ugreen is another camp-friendly model perfect for charging personal electronics. It has a 153-watt-hour battery and five ports, offering a maximum total output of 300 watts. That means you can comfortably charge multiple devices simultaneously (phone, tablet, laptop), making it a powerful companion for working remotely. Like the Anker, the Ugreen power station features an LED with three modes: high light, low light, and SOS.

Finally, the Ugreen features a display that shows the remaining battery, total input power, and total output power. Speaking of input power, the power station supports 140-watt charging through one of its USB-C ports (you need a 140-watt wall charger to achieve these speeds). Ugreen also says the device is V-0 rated, meaning some materials are highly flame-resistant.

Whether you’re enjoying the longer spring and summer days by camping, barbecuing, or cooking pizzas, these portable power stations are great for recharging your small electronics. If you want something bigger, plenty of solar-powered generators are on sale for Memorial Day, including several models from Goal Zero.
