This Jackery Portable Power Station Is 28% Off On Amazon

The Jackery Explorer 240 v2 is one device that many avid campers, survivalists and emergency preppers all swear by for running vital appliances and juicing up all their essential devices when regular power sources are not available.

Currently on sale at Amazon for an impressive 28% off, this gas-free portable power station, which has even been on the must-have lists of our own HuffPost editors, uses a 240Wh lithium ion battery pack to offer a safe and steady supply of energy to everything from laptops to fans.

HuffPost Shopping writer Griffin Wynne called their own Jackery “my greatest asset” and uses it to power up their griddle on camping trips or keep the fan going during rolling summer blackouts.

Featuring one AC outlet, one 100W PD USB-C port, one 15W USB-C port, a car outlet and a single USB-A port, this Jackery model can charge up to three devices at once and only takes two hours to recharge 100% of its battery power, which can be done using a regular AC adapter, your car outlet or even with solar panels (sold separately). It also has a built-in flashlight and top handle for easy carry.

Thanks to its perfectly compact and handled design, this device can be easily stored in your car, packed along with camping gear or kept safe during a power outage.

″Easy to use. Hold charge for months or longer. Good for several hours especially if you only need a modest watt lamp. Great in emergency as it has its own small lamp. Has USB ports, can recover DC charge via vehicle battery convert to AC. Multi condition and use reports. We had an earlier model. This one has more features. First model about 5+ year old and still charge at 99%.” — William A. Beckerley

“Have used this for 3 months and no issues whatsoever. Can run a fan, charge phone/laptop off of this. Sometimes we use it just to have power in the middle of the room without pulling out an extension chord. Connects to phone app to change settings and turn on boost charge mode for emergencies.” — Austin S

“I’m a truck driver who spends plenty of time out on the open road, so reliable power for essential gadgets like my CPAP machine is a must. This power station from Jackery has become my go-to for ensuring I can snag some quality sleep, no matter where I park for the night.

This little powerhouse packs a lot of punch, more than enough to keep my CPAP running all night. The variety of charging ports allow me power up my phone and other devices while my CPAP does its thing. It’s fairly portable but doesn’t skimp on power.

I also like how fast this thing charges. It claims one hourfast charging when activated in the App, and it delivers. I tried out this function for once or twice when I was in a hurry at a diner. It worked well and was able to get fully charged in one hour or so. The LiFePO4 battery promisesup to 10 years of use, so I’m less concerned with whether the fast charging will affect the battery’s lifespan.

The built-in camping light is a neat touch too, doubling as a handy light for late nights and unexpected emergencies.

I’m also eyeing the Solarsaga 100 prime solar panel for my truck to make power on the go even easier. It’s specially made for setting up on vehicles, so I’m excited to give it a whirl soon.

Overall, the Explorer 240 v2 power station has been tremendously helpful for my trips, delivering dependable power with a focus on safety and efficiency. For anyone needing power off the grid, whether for work or just to keep things running smoothly, this power station is a solid pick.” — Dr. Paul
