You don't have to wait for Black Friday to arrive to score a new all-time low on the EcoFlow Delta 2.

Whether you like the great outdoors or want a backup plan should the power go out, by investing in a portable power station, you'll never be caught short. EcoFlow has a range of energy solutions with many of them now going up for sale as we hurtle towards Black Friday. One of these is the EcoFlow Delta 2 power station which has dropped dramatically from $999 to $459. That's a massive 54% discount that represents a saving of $540, making it the lowest price we have on record at Amazon.

The EcoFlow Delta 2 can power 90% of appliances and offers fast charging that will take it to 80% capacity in just 50 minutes. If you're off the grid, topping the battery off with the included solar panel will take up to six hours. It comes with a car charging cable, too, so you have a third way to recharge.

In terms of powering other devices, this power station can support up to 15 devices at once. It has ports that include USB-A, USB-C and AC outlets, and the display ensures you'll always know exactly what state the battery is in throughout.

The batteries used in this power station are the same as you'd find in a Tesla EV which means they have a lifetime of around six times that of the standard 500-cycle range. That means that you can expect to be able to charge this thing around 3,000 times. You'll get a five-year warranty as well, which gives you added peace of mind.

If you know you need solar power for off-grid adventures, you can also get the EcoFlow Delta 2 in a bundle with a 220-watt solar panel for just $749. That's a saving of $900 over the usual asking price of $1,649, so quite the discount. You can always pick up a solar panel at a later date if you're unsure, however.

We're keeping up with all things Black Friday in preparation for the big sales event later this month. Not to mention, we're scouring the web to help you find holiday gifts at the lowest prices, so you can get your shopping done well ahead of time.

EcoFlow is a reputable brand in the space with many of its products, including the Delta 2, featuring on our list of the best portable power stations. We've had hands-on time with the Delta 2 and particularly like how fast it recharges and that you can wire in additional battery capacity if you wish.

At $459, this is the lowest we have ever seen it go at Amazon, beating the $499 Black Friday price currently on offer directly at EcoFlow's site, making now an ideal time to pick one up.

We can't say for certain, but EcoFlow is already declaring its current sale as its Black Friday sale, so we'd wager that the prices on offer right now are the same as we will see in a couple of weeks.
