Slash $550 off the DJI Power 1000 portable power station ahead of Amazon Prime Day

SAVE $550: For a limited time, the DJI Power 1000 portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $449, down from the list price of $999. That's a 55% discount.

We have to wait a few more weeks to shop epic deals during Amazon Prime Day, but that doesn't mean the deals are on pause. That's especially true if you happen to go camping or live in an area that's prone to power outages. If that's the case, Amazon has a pre-Prime Day treat for you.

As of June 18, the DJI Power 1000 portable power station is on sale for $449 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $999. That works out to a 55% discount that shaves a massive $550 off the portable power station. But you'll want to hurry because this is an Amazon lightning deal, which means they'll only offer this sale price for a specific number of units. Today's deal also beats the sale price we spotted last week by $100.

You know them as one of the best drone brands, but DJI also makes one heck of a portable power station. The DJI Power 1000 doesn't mess around with performance thanks to its 1024Wh power supply with plenty of charging outlet options. That means you'll be in good shape for recharging phones when camping, keeping the refrigerator going during a power outage, or using the skill saw in the backyard.

Since the DJI Power 1000 weighs about 32 pounds, DJI included ergonomic carrying handles on both sides. In a pinch, you could even use the portable power station to do weighted squats while camping.

If you wind up in a power outage situation at home, the DJI Power 1000 is optimal for keeping a lamp on in the living room as well as the refrigerator chilling this week's grocery haul. It'll also mean you can still get quality sleep if you use a CPAP. Operating at just 23 decibels, the DJI Power 1000 is designed to be quiet enough to use while sleeping.

When it comes time to recharge the DJI Power 1000 portable power station, expect to get a full recharge in 70 minutes or 80 minutes if you've utilized the option to recharge via a solar panel.

Rather than watching your cell phone battery tick down to 1%, take the DJI Power 1000 portable power station on your next camping trip. While it's on a lightning deal at Amazon, the power station is down to only $449, which takes a whopping $550 off the normal price. Plus, it'll be useful year-round if your home tends to lose power.
