I’m always that person who forgets to charge their power banks before a big storm, and then I’m left rationing my laptop battery for 12 hours. I’ve been looking for a serious home backup station for exactly that reason (I live in a storm-prone area on the East Coast, so the power goes out pretty often), and this Segway deal is a really good one.

Mashable Trend Report
This portable cube uses a LiFePO4 battery, which is the standard you want for durability — it’s rated for over 4,000 cycles. It has a 1024Wh capacity and a high 2200W output, more than enough to run heavy-duty appliances during an outage. But its best feature, full stop, is the recharge time: it can go from 0 to 100 percent in just 1.2 hours.
There are a couple of things to know, though. First, it’s listed as a “solar generator” and “expandable.” While this is true, the solar panels and the additional battery packs (to reach 5kWh) are sold separately. It’s also a heavy-duty unit (36 pounds), so it’s better suited for home backup or car camping, not for hiking.
Still, for under $360, this is a solid price for a 1kWh LiFePO4 station. It’s durable (IP56-rated ), has 12 total outlets, including two 100W USB-C ports, and offers serious peace of mind for power outages.
