Closing out this week’s Green Deals are three different sales from some of our favorite brands featuring some of their newest releases at their lowest rates. First off, we have Anker’s SOLIX Valentine’s Day sale with up to 56% discounts across its power station lineup, with the new C200 DC 60,000mAh Power Bank Station dropping to its $100 low, among many others. There’s also the Valentine’s Day savings we’re seeing from Hiboy’s sale, which is cutting 48% off its EVs, with the upgraded S2 SE Electric Scooter returning to its $300 low, among other returning low prices. Last, but certainly not least, Jackery has launched a special tax season sale with up to $3,100 in up-front discounts on power stations, as well as trade-in savings, select extra 5% off coupons, and up to 30% in tax rebates. Among the offers, the Explorer 2000 v2 is dropping back to its $999 low, with many more notable options from $90. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s second phase of EcoFlow’s sale through the weekend, Samsung’s smart appliance discounts, and more.

Anker’s SOLIX Valentine’s Day sale drops new C200 DC 60,000mAh power station to return $100 low

Anker has launched its SOLIX Valentine’s Day Sale (also titled the Big Game Day Power Sale) with up to 56% discounts across its power station and solar generator lineup through February 19. One notable inclusion is the brand’s latest C200 DC 60,000mAh Power Bank Station that is dropping down to $99.99 shipped. This newer model usually carries a $170 full price, which we first saw drop to the $100 low during Cyber Monday sales and repeat back at the start of the new year. That low rate is returning here today, giving you $70 in savings for the best price we’ve seen since releasing a few months ago. You’ll also find it matching in price over from the brand’s official Amazon storefront too.

Anker’s SOLIX C200 DC power bank station is a smaller and more compact version of the brand’s new C300 DC and AC models, coming in with a slightly smaller 60,000mAh/192Wh LiFePO4 capacity. It delivers up to 300W of output power to your devices through its five port options (two USB-As, one 140W USB-C, one 15W USB-C, one car port). You can refill the units own battery via three ways, with its 140W USB-C port giving you an 80% charge in 1.3 hours through a wall outlet, or you can utilize up to 100W of solar input or the car port for 80% in 1.6 hours.

You’ll also find the larger 90,000mAh C300 DC and C300 AC models down at $170 and $190 (matched at Amazon) for this sale. Not only are you getting the expanded 90,000mAh LiFePO4 capacity here, but they also come sporting different variations of built-in lights for camping trips. You can get the full rundown on its other capabilities in our launch coverage here.

Hiboy’s Valentine’s Day sale takes up to 48% off EVs, including new S2 SE e-scooter at $300 low (Save $250)

Hiboy has launched its Valentine’s Day savings with up to 48% discounts across its EV lineup, with the brand’s latest S2 SE Electric Scooter falling to $299.99 shipped for the first time in a sale outside of its New Year’s launch. Without the savings you’d normally have to shell out $550 for this new model, which we saw hitting the market at the top of January at this same rate. The price is getting cut down by 45% here, saving you $250 and upgrading your commute at the lowest price we have seen. It’s standard package is not only matching in price at Amazon, but you can also score it with a seat for just $50 more (with the same option available directly from Hiboy too).

Building upon the popularity of Hiboy’s standard S2 model, the new S2 SE e-scooter comes with a solid array of fresh upgrades at an affordable rate that’s hard to pass up for those on a budget. It’s been given a Q235 steel frame for increased durability alongside a 350W brushless DC motor (peaking at 430W) and a 36V 7.8Ah battery to deliver 19 MPH top speeds and a travel distance up to 17 miles on one full charge.

Riding was smoothed out further thanks to the 10-inch solid front tire to prevent punctures and the 10-inch pneumatic tire in the rear that increases shock absorption – with both tires’ grips on the pavement improving with the 17% width increase too. The improvements aren’t stopping there, as the fender comes 26% wider to prevent water toss-ups while traveling and the steel frame provides 20% more load capacity than its predecessors. Other features include a folding design, LED headlight/taillight, an e-brake/drum brake system that is pretty standard for scooters, and an integrated HD LED display.

With tax refund season officially here, Jackery is launching a special promotional sale to help you get the most out of your savings, with up to $3,100 in initial discounts alongside trade-in savings (learn more here), some select extra 5% discounts – plus, you can apply for up to 30% in tax rebates too! A notable returning low price is the brand’s Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station at $999 shipped, after clipping the on-page promo coupon. The deal here is continuing Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year trends by cutting 33% off its full $1,499 price tag. During this sale, you’ll be saving $500 on one of the newest units under Jackery’s flag at the lowest rate we have seen anywhere. In a rare upset, this price (as well as many others in this sale) is even beating out Amazon’s $1,299 rate too.

A great well-rounded power station that can handle trips, outdoor yard work and DIY needs, and even some emergency appliance backup, Jackery’s Explorer 2000 v2 packs everything into one affordable unit. Sporting a 2,042Wh LiFePO4 capacity, it pumps out power at up to 2,200W regularly through its seven ports, but can also surge up to 4,400W when needed. Its smaller and lighter size comes courtesy of its exclusive CBT tech and the honeycomb design, while also providing 62 forms of protection while it’s charging and even a silent charging mode to keep noise under 30dB if you’re trying to relax or sleep.

There are four ways to recharge the power station itself, with an 80% battery achieved via a wall outlet in around 66+ minutes – and it also boasts a supercharge feature for last-minute needs that will refill the entire battery in 102+ minutes. Your car’s auxiliary port is also an option taking about 24 hours, or you can invest in some of the solar panels to take advantage of its solar charging capabilities.

***Note. Some of these offers have on-page extra 5% savings that you can take advantage of by using the provided codes. The prices below have not had these additional discounts factored in so be sure to use any you see at checkout to score the maximum discounts!
