Skip the 12-Volt Car Port. There’s a Faster Way to Charge Your Power Station. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Road warriors and overlanders know all too well that the 12-volt port in a car or truck recharges large devices slowly. Case in point: a power station. Most come with a 12-volt adapter for this purpose, but even a midsize model can take nearly 13 hours to recharge this way. The solution to speed up the process is installing an alternator charger.

Power Station and Generator Prices Are Just as Low as Black Friday With These Prime Day Deals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a good thing hurricane season and Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sales event happen around the same time. It creates a great opportunity to score great deals on home generators, portable generators, power stations, and solar panels. This fall, Prime Day runs from October 6 to October 7, and you can expect discounts as high as 50 percent or more, with prices as low as, or sometimes even better than, what you can expect to find on Black Friday.
