The NYC nor’easter isn’t over: Prepare for power outages with this easy fix
Heavy wind and rain struck New York City yesterday, and the weather isn’t letting up just yet.
Inclement conditions will persist into Friday, Nov. 12, with chilly air, strong winds and rain expected.
Yesterday, parts of Brooklyn received up to 3.58 in rain, and several areas across New York City experienced power outages. To avoid any tech issues ahead of the weekend — and for the next winter storm — we found a simple solution. And it’s on sale.
The Jackery Solar Generator is 20% off at Amazon right now, its lowest price in 30 days. With the storm surging, there’s no better time than now to shop.
Use it to power AC units, fridges, phones, electric pots and more in the event of a power outage. It takes just 50 minutes for the portable power station to go from 0% to 100% battery life. Plus, ChargeShield 2.0 technology prevents overcharging and protects the safety of your devices.
The compact device is shockproof and water-resistant, with an ergonomic handle ideal for both emergency situations and outdoor adventures. You can control it via a mobile app: toggle emergency charging mode, turn on energy saving mode and choose which battery settings you wish to use.
The power station features six charging ports: two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, one DC car port, three pure sine wave AC ports and LED lights.
Despite its powerful 1024 W capacity and 3000W surge peak, it runs quietly at less than 22dB, meaning you can sleep peacefully — even during a blackout.
Don’t let harsh weather conditions put a damper on your Friday. Stay prepared with the Jackery Solar Generator, a simple solution to emergency situations in the city.
