It features an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, a big help for campers, first responders and others caught in the elements.

Canada’s 2,000 wildfires made news all over the United States when the resulting smoke drifted south in June. The fires burned more than 14 million acres, serving as a wake-up call for heightened attention to wildfire preparedness — especially because the United States is no stranger to its own conflagrations, with more than 72,000 communities at risk.

Going camping doesn’t mean you can’t bring some of the comforts of everyday life into the great outdoors. If you want to stay connected on your iPhone or host a cozy MacBook movie night in your tent, make sure you can keep everything charged with a reliable portable power station.

The EcoFlow Delta can power small electronics and midsize appliances, and you can get it now at its lowest price ever. During our version of Prime Day, the EcoFlow Delta portable power station costs just $798.99. That’s $600 off the usual price of $1,399. Plus, with this deal, you also get free shipping.

However, this big price drop only lasts until July 14 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific!

Power product provider Bluetti hit a big milestone recently when it raised a staggering $11.6 million on Indiegogo for its new AC500 and B300S Home Backup Power Station, a backup beast that can power a home for days.

The campaign raised the funds — $11,633,332 and counting, to be exact — between September 1, 2022, and October 30. That ensures production and sale of the advanced AC500 inverter and B300S expansion battery, set to go on sale November 25 on Bluetti’s website and Amazon (and available on Indiegogo in the meantime, see below).

EcoFlow rolled out three new River 2 series power stations Tuesday. The under-1kWh devices charge to 80% as fast as 48 minutes and offer a long life, making them cost-effective for on-the-go uses like camping as well as home power backup, the company said.
