Oh, how we love a sale. When Black Friday lands, naturally we’re always looking for the biggest discounts out there.
While there are tons of great deals on the likes of air fryers, sex toys, and literally everything you can think of, the best deals we’ve spotted to date have been on Jackery portable power stations and solar panels.
Thanks to Godzilla El Niño, we’re expecting some extreme weather later this year, which explains why the government has released a checklist of emergency supplies to stock up on in case you experience a power cut.
Whatever way you spin it, we’re likely to be hit with a slew of rain and storms this winter, and you’re going to want to be prepared.
Whether you’re preparing for power outages, or simply want to cut down on your heating bill, it is going to come in handy to have a power bank on hand.
If you don’t have one already, you’re in luck: Jackery has cut its prices by up to 58% this Black Friday, including on two of its best portable power stations for saving energy in cold weather and for a winter emergency power supply.
Plus, we’ve secured HuffPost readers an extra 5% off on Black Friday deals with the code ‘HuffPost5’ making it even easier to prepare your home for winter.
Best Black Friday Jackery power station deals to shop now
At just 10.8kg, Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 is much lighter than other portable power stations on the market.
That means it’s super easy to carry around, whether you’re using it to power an electric blanket or an electric heater in different rooms of your house to avoid having to turn on the central heating, or using it as a power bank during a winter camping or outdoors trip.
It’s also been loaded with premium LiFePO4 battery chemistry, so it will stay reliable in extreme winter temperatures, ranging from -10°C to 45°C.
Not to mention, it’s worth the money because it not only comes with a five year warranty, but it can be charged a whole 4,000 times before its maximum energy storage drops to 70% of its original capacity, meaning it’s one of the most durable portable power stations in the UK.
While the Explorer 1000 v2 usually costs £899, with the Black Friday promotion it’s down to £378, or £359.10 if you use the code ‘HuffPost5’.
You can also save even more on bundles with solar panels, if you’re interested in finding alternative ways to power your home and save money on your energy bills.
Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus v2
Meanwhile, the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus v2 is a better option if you’re preparing for emergency power blackouts this winter.
With an expandable capacity of between 1kWh and 11kWh with battery pack add-ons, it can power your home for multiple days, meaning it’s a great portable generator for an extreme winter emergency.
Its output is 1,800W, which will power everything from space heaters, to refrigerators, power tools, and coffee machines.
Thanks to its independent AC port and app controllability, the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 also lets you control your own AC output, so you can shut off ports you’re not using and prioritise power for essential things like heating or medical equipment during emergencies.
Usually, the power bank costs £749, but the Black Friday discount has cut that down to £569, or £540.55 if you use the code ‘HuffPost5’. You’ll even get a free car charging cable worth £29.99.
