Are you looking for a way to run your campsite this spring? Well, Renogy’s is up to the task. With a capacity of 495Wh (that can be increased to 990Wh), you’ll find three AC outlets capable of up to 800W, a 100W USB-C PD port, and many other outputs to keep your gear powered while off-grid. With an AC plug, it can go from 0% to 80% in just an hour, but should you opt for a 220W solar panel, it takes 2.5 hours to achieve that same charge rate, which is still pretty great. It’s on sale today for $370, which is its typical $530 going rate and marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

The Ride1Up REVV1 FS is a rare breed of e-bike. It’s not that the design is that unique. In fact, it’s obviously another SUPER73 imitation. But what makes it so unique is that it’s a really good SUPER73 imitation. And by that I mean it’s built more like a moped or motorcycle than like an electric bicycle, which translates into an amazingly good ride.
