Anker Powerhouse 767 Portable Power Station
They’re big. They’re expensive. Yet, as we face more extreme weather across the country and as blackouts become more of a threat, a portable battery seems more and more like a necessity. The Anker PowerHouse 767 is a massive $2,000 insurance that your food won’t spoil during a short-term disaster. It’s Anker’s biggest battery yet, with a full 2048Wh capacity, and in Gizmodo’s tests, we found it includes all the ports one needs to keep laptops or phones charged when you need a connection to the outside world. However, know this thing won’t keep your home powered for weeks at a time. It will keep things going for a day, but we were still impressed with its overall design and how well it communicates its lingering power to users through its on-device screen and mobile app. —Kyle Barr
