Memorial Day Sales & Deals: Best Power Station Discounts (This Year's Round Up)

Memorial Day weekend is here, and the power station deals are live. I’ve been refreshing brand stores and tracking Amazon prices since the sales went up the week of May 18, and this is the real roundup — actual prices I can verify right now, not last year’s recycled list. The discounts aren’t Black Friday deep, but several of them are genuinely good, and a couple of the clearance deals are the best you’ll see until the holidays.

Here’s what’s actually worth your money this weekend, where the fake “deals” are hiding, and how to decide between buying now and waiting for Prime Day in July.

How Memorial Day 2026 Pricing Stacks Up

Memorial Day sits in a sweet spot on the calendar. Brands are clearing spring inventory ahead of summer launches, and they know shoppers are gearing up for camping, road trips, and storm season. That creates real motivation to discount — but it also creates a lot of theater.

The honest range this year: 15 to 25 percent off current models, and 30 to 45 percent off last-generation units being cleared out. On a $700 station, 20 percent is $140 in your pocket. On a discontinued flagship, the clearance math gets a lot more interesting.

A word of warning before the list: not every “sale” tag is real. I’ve already caught a couple of listings this week where the “regular” price was quietly inflated in early May so the Memorial Day “discount” looks bigger. Run any Amazon price through CamelCamelCamel before you trust it. If the all-time low and the “sale” price are within a few dollars, the holiday banner is just marketing.

The Best Current-Gen Deals This Weekend

These are the units I’d actually buy at this weekend’s pricing. All are LiFePO4, all are current models, and all represent a legitimate discount off their true street price.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus — around $499 (was $649)

The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus is the best overall deal on the board. It normally runs $649, and I’m seeing it land near $499 this weekend — roughly 23 percent off. For that you get 1,024Wh of capacity, an 1,800W inverter that surges to 2,300W, and a wall-charge time of about 56 minutes to full. It’s expandable to 5kWh if you add batteries later, and the LiFePO4 cells are rated for 4,000+ cycles.

At $499 this is the unit I’d point most households toward. It runs a fridge for 12 to 18 hours, powers a CPAP for several nights, and handles power tools and coffee makers without flinching. It’s also our top pick in the best portable power stations of 2026 roundup, and the Memorial Day price is the lowest it’s been since launch.

Anker SOLIX C1000 — around $559 (was $699)

The Anker SOLIX C1000 is the value play. Normally $699, it’s hitting roughly $559 this weekend — about 20 percent off. You get 1,056Wh, a beefy 1,800W output, and one of the lightest builds in its class at around 28 pounds. Anker has been making reliable charging hardware for over a decade, and it shows in the build quality and the dead-simple interface.

Worth noting: Anker historically discounts hardest on Prime Day, so if the C1000 is your pick and you can wait until July, you may shave off another $30 to $50. But $559 is a strong number right now, and if you need it for early-summer trips, it’s a fine time to pull the trigger.

Bluetti Elite 200 V2 — around $899 (was $1,099)

If you want serious capacity, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 is the standout mid-tier deal. It packs 2,073Wh into a single unit with a 2,600W inverter, and the LiFePO4 cells are rated for 6,000+ cycles — that’s potentially 15-plus years of daily use. Regular price is $1,099, and I’m seeing it around $899 this weekend, roughly 18 percent off.

That capacity runs a full-size fridge for 24 to 48 hours and handles multiple appliances at once, which makes it a genuine home-backup contender. For more on pairing it with panels for off-grid use, see our best solar panel and power station combos for 2026.

The Real Memorial Day Play: Last-Gen Clearance

Here’s where the deepest savings live, and where most people aren’t looking. When a brand ships a new version of a popular product, the old model doesn’t vanish — it gets quietly slashed. Memorial Day is often when those clearance prices bottom out.

EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max — around $999 (was $1,699)

The EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max is the clearance steal of the weekend. It’s being phased out as EcoFlow’s lineup shifts to the DELTA 3 series, and the price has cratered — from a $1,699 MSRP down toward $999, around 40 percent off. You get 2,048Wh, a 2,400W inverter (3,400W surge), and expandability to 6kWh.

The one honest caveat: the DELTA 2 Max uses an older LiFePO4 pack rated around 3,000 cycles rather than the 4,000-plus you’ll find on the newest units. That’s still a decade-plus of regular use. At a $700 saving, it’s an easy call for anyone who wants 2kWh of capacity and doesn’t need the latest charging speeds. This is exactly the kind of deal I described in our Memorial Day power station deals breakdown — last-gen, still excellent, deeply discounted.

Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus — around $1,599 (was $1,999)

The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus isn’t being discontinued, but Jackery is running an aggressive holiday price to compete: roughly $1,599 down from $1,999, about 20 percent off. It brings 2,042Wh of expandable capacity (up to 24kWh with add-on batteries) and a 3,000W output. If you’re building toward a whole-home system over time, this is a strong foundation at a fair holiday price.

Solar Panel and Accessory Deals

Memorial Day is a great time to grab solar, since brands lean on the summer-sun angle to move panels. The pattern I’m seeing this weekend:

• 100W folding panels: dropping into the $179 to $229 range from a $299 list. Good for topping off compact stations.
• 200 to 220W panels: landing around $299 to $379, often $100 off. The sweet spot for recharging a 1,000Wh station in a single sunny day.
• Station + panel bundles: frequently the best total value of the weekend. Brand stores bundle a station with one or two panels at a combined price that beats buying them separately — but not always, so do the math both ways before checking out.

Don’t sleep on the boring accessories either. Heavy-duty extension cords, surge protectors, and spare DC cables tend to see small discounts that are easy to fold into a bundle. They’re cheap insurance for any new setup.

Where to Shop

Brand-direct stores. EcoFlow, Bluetti, Jackery, and Anker all run their own Memorial Day events. The upside is exclusive bundles, better warranty registration, and occasionally lower prices than Amazon. The downside is slower shipping and stricter returns.

Amazon. Amazon’s Memorial Day pricing usually matches the brand stores, and faster shipping plus easier returns can tip the scale. Just verify every price against its history — Amazon listings are the most likely place to find an inflated “regular” price.

Best Buy and Home Depot. Both carry EcoFlow and Jackery and run their own events. Useful if you want same-day pickup or to see a unit in person before committing.

Buy Now or Wait for Prime Day?

This is the real question. My take:

Buy on Memorial Day if you want the station for June or July camping, you’re prepping for hurricane season (it starts June 1 — don’t gamble on July availability), or you spot a last-gen clearance deal like the DELTA 2 Max that won’t come back.

Wait for Prime Day if you’re not in a rush, you’re set on an Anker product (they go hardest in July), or you simply want the lowest possible price and can accept the risk that your pick sells out.

The honest gap between Memorial Day and Prime Day pricing on current-gen units is usually $30 to $75. If two extra months of summer use is worth that to you, buy this weekend.

The Bottom Line

The standout Memorial Day deals in 2026 are the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus at around $499, the Anker SOLIX C1000 near $559, and the clearance EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max dropping toward $999. The first two are the best current-gen value; the third is the deepest discount of the weekend if you can live with slightly older specs.

Whatever you grab, verify the price history first, and make sure you’re buying the right size before you chase the savings. A great price on the wrong unit isn’t a deal — it’s a compromise.
