Why We Love This Deal
Oftentimes, when people shop for portable power stations, they seek something huge that can provide power to large appliances for long periods of time. But smaller power stations are well worth investing in, too, and they’re great as supplemental power for laptops and similar devices. They're also a lot less expensive, especially now—one of Amazon's top-selling micro power stations is under $75, and it comes with a solar panel and cool freebies.
The Marbero M82 Power Station and Solar Panel Kit has just been marked down to $73, marking its lowest ever price. What's even better is that, at least at the moment, when you buy one of these, you can get a pair of flashlights for free (you’ll see their price taken from the power station at checkout), as long as you follow the on-page instructions. The M82 by itself is the No. 2 bestselling outdoor generator on Amazon, and the solar panel and flashlights at such a low price just make the whole thing that much sweeter.

This smaller set weighs less than 4 pounds and can provide consistent power to smaller devices via the solar panel. In other words, this one is all about keeping devices charged and snappy transport.
Taking this out to your sunlit deck makes the perfect plug-in unit for your energy-efficient Chromebook, or might extend that aging MacBook’s battery life from 4 hours to 7 hours or maybe even indefinitely with the right light. It’s a quick gateway to extended freedom to work on the things you need to get done.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper confirmed the M82’s ability to keep small tech powered, saying it “holds a lot of power to charge multiple devices (phone, iPad, earbuds, laptop) separately or concurrently.” They also used it to keep a lamp on at night during a power outage at home.
Other shoppers mentioned it as a lifeline during a hurricane. But, no matter what the usage, one message was clear: it’s really easy to move this thing around. As someone said, “It has a small handle and is so easy to carry.” So, expect to be able to do more than you’d expect with this.
The Marbero M82 and Solar Panel Kit is just $73 right now, and you can get two flashlights for free with your order when you buy it. Hop on this deal now, though, because it's not clear when it may go away.
