Ampace Launches Andes 300 Portable Power Station: Small, Powerful, and Ready for Adventure
Ampace has just rolled out the Andes 300, a portable power station that may be small, but certainly doesn’t skimp on muscle. Weighing just 8.2 pounds (that’s about as heavy as a gallon of milk), the Andes 300 delivers a punchy 266Wh of battery capacity with a 300W output. Whether you’re a van-lifer, a weekend camper, or simply someone who doesn’t want to be left in the dark during a power outage, this little gadget could quickly become your favorite travel buddy.
What makes the Andes 300 worth a look? For one thing, it’s got six outlets, meaning it’s pretty generous for its size. Charge up multiple devices at once without playing an awkward game of “which device do I love more?” Plus, with a built-in handle, the Andes 300 is easy to grab and go, even if you’ve got your hands full with gear, snacks, and maybe even that gallon of milk.
One of its standout features is a one-hour full recharge time. Forget about twiddling your thumbs while waiting for the power station to juice up. With the Andes 300, you can recharge using a USB-C port for that speedy 100W charging or, if you’re a traditionalist, go with the classic wall outlet or a solar panel setup. The variety of options ensures that, wherever you are, you won’t be running on empty.
Durability doesn’t take a backseat here, either. Ampace says the Andes 300 can go through 2500 cycles to 80% capacity, so this power station won’t be bowing out of the race anytime soon. It’s also got a bit of a superhero complex, staying functional even at bone-chilling temperatures of -4℉ (-20℃). So whether you’re in the mountains or on a particularly cold patio, the Andes 300 should be up for the challenge.
Tech lovers will enjoy the added smart features. With an app that lets you manage everything remotely, you can check your power levels, adjust settings, and even perform firmware updates from your smartphone. Ampace has tossed in a battery management system to keep everything running smoothly, meaning fewer worries about your gear when you’re in the middle of nowhere. This could be the difference between a good trip and a great one.
The Andes 300 is now available through Ampace’s official store and Amazon, with a price tag of $249.99. But if you act before September 19, there’s a 20% discount that brings it down to $199.99. Not a bad deal for something that could save you from a powerless night out in the wild.
Ampace, known for its energy storage solutions, continues to make strides in keeping people powered up, whether it’s through portable power stations, e-mobility, or drones. With millions of customers around the world, they’re clearly onto something. If you’re looking for a new piece of gear to add to your adventure kit, the Andes 300 might just be what you need.
