Having reliable home backup power is becoming more important, especially during outages or emergencies. Portable power stations offer a simple way to keep essential devices running without relying on old-fashioned gas-powered generators.
They’re also useful for RV trips, outdoor events or job sites where electricity isn’t always available. A good power station combines strong output, solid battery life and flexible charging options.
Amazon’s Prime Day may be over, but the Oupes Mega 5 Home Backup & Portable Power Station is still on sale directly through Oupes.
Oupes Mega 5 is currently available, with a B5 Extra battery, for $2,999, which is $500 less than its current $3,499 price on Amazon and $2,100 off its original retail price.
The portable power station offers a 5,040Wh capacity and a 4,000W pure sine wave inverter with a 7,000W surge rating. It’s powered by a LiFePO4 battery rated for over 3,500 life cycles to 80 percent capacity.
For those with larger backup needs, the system can expand to a maximum 45.36kWh when connected to eight B5 battery units.
It includes 16 output ports to support a wide range of devices. Charging is flexible too, with six input methods including AC, solar, car, and EV chargers.
Under ideal conditions, it can fully charge in 1.3 hours, with a peak 3,900W input rate. The unit also features a seamless UPS mode that supports up to 2,200W loads.
A smart LCD display provides system data, and Bluetooth allows app control within 5 to 10 meters.
If you’re thinking about buying a large-capacity backup or portable power station, the Oupes Mega 5 is one of the better deals available right now, but you’ll want to act fast as it won’t stay this price for long.
