Power cuts rarely give you a heads-up, which makes this the right moment to look at Amazon's latest discounts: up to $350 off five Jackery power stations, running through October 5. Together, the deals add up to $1,000 in savings, and they cover everything from a portable solar bundle to a whole-home backup unit that can keep your HVAC running.

- HomePower 3600 Plus: $1,709 ($190 off), for longer outages, with built-in wheels and a pull handle (Amazon)

Which Jackery should you buy?
For most people, the Explorer 1000 V2 bundle is the sweet spot. Jackery says it can keep a fridge, laptop, and lights running, and $699 with a 200W solar panel included makes it the easiest way to get some outage insurance without committing to a whole-home setup.
If your worry is a storm knocking the power out for an afternoon, the HomePower 2000 Plus V2 is built for exactly that. Step up to the HomePower 3000 if you want more headroom in a compact footprint.
The HomePower 3600 Plus is the one to pick if outages in your area tend to drag on. Jackery designed it for longer blackouts, and the wheels and pull handle matter more than you'd think once you try moving a heavy battery between rooms.
The big one: Explorer 5000 Plus
The Explorer 5000 Plus is in a different league. Jackery pitches it as a serious home backup system that can keep major essentials like refrigeration and HVAC going during an outage, and at $350 off, it gets the biggest discount of the lot.
It's still a $3,419 purchase, so it only makes sense if you're planning around regular or extended outages. If you live somewhere where a lost fridge or a cold house is a real risk, that's money well spent.
