During the school year, I spend a lot of time working outside the home — in the car in the school drop-off line since we get there an hour early after dropping off my younger daughter, in the car in the school pickup line, at tennis practice, etc. Well, as the school year was close to ending and the heat was rising, my computer battery all of a sudden decided it was done. As a result, I needed some kind of portable power station urgently in order to do my normal work when out and about. Luckily, I had the BLUETTI Elite 10*, which was the perfect portable power station solution for the situation. I’ve loved this device and used it in various ways over the past half year. As I wrote when first reviewing it, “I’ve found my new favorite machine, or gadget. I’m not sure how to classify it. It’s the new BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini Power Station. It’s a 200W, 128Wh, 3.97 lb portable power station that is super easy to take around, and cute.” However, in this recent situation, it was more than fun and cute — it was a life saver. The BLUETTI Elite 10 was the perfect companion. It was small enough that I could fit it in the car fine along with the three kids who would sit there with me for an hour before going into school. In fact, it fit right there on the front center console. It was light enough that I didn’t injure myself bringing it around with me, in and out of the car, throughout the day. It had just enough energy storage that it backed up the computers I had to use that had super old, almost completely dead batteries. (Well, one of those computers did basically have to suck electric juice from the BLUETTI Elite 10 the whole time. I don’t think I could have imagined a more ideal portable power station if I tried. Also, to top it all off, the Elite 10 just looks cool. The icing on the cake, though: the Elite 10 costs just $107 until June 26. I already loved the BLUETTI Elite 10, but at this critical time, the machine saved my butt and allowed me to do my normal work in the couple of weeks needed to get my computer diagnosed and the battery replaced. It was truly the critical product that I needed at this critical time. Here are some more details on the BLUETTI Elite 10: 10ms Seamless Backup: UPS mode keeps work and gaming online without interruption. 6 Outputs: 1 AC + 5 DC outlets power laptops, cameras, mini fridges, and more simultaneously 70-min Fast Recharge: Get ready for travel in a coffee break. 4 Flexible Charging Options: Supports AC, car, solar (60/100W) and AC+solar charging.
