For modern outdoor enthusiasts, a portable power station is a must-have. After all, finding a power source that can juice up the plethora of gadgets that we have nowadays while in the woods might be, well, a little tricky. For such people, Jackery's aptly named Explorer range comes forth as a solid option. Particularly, the rather compact Explorer 300, now available for its lowest-ever price on Amazon, is an especially intriguing option at just $168.
The Jackery Explorer 300 power station boasts dimensions of 9.1 x 5.2 x 7.8 inches and tips the scales at 7.1 lbs (3.2 kg), which is relatively portable for its category. The device sports a capacity of 293 Wh, which is where the "300" branding likely comes from. The lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 500 charge cycles, which is alright but nowhere as good as LFP batteries found in the pricier Explorer 300 Plus, which can last up to 3,000 cycles.
The Explorer 300 boasts a decent array of outlets, including dual AC sockets, courtesy of the 300-watt AC inverter which has an efficiency of 85%. The DC section includes a 12V socket, along with a USB-C port rated for up to 60 W and dual USB-A ports, with only one of the latter supporting Qualcomm's QC at 18 watts. The Explorer 300 can be charged up with a solar panel in around 5.5 hours, or using the provided AC adapter to juice it up in an hour less. For a more in-depth look at the Explorer 300, curious buyers can refer to TechRadar's review.
Long story short, the Jackery Explorer 300 offers decent performance and a solid feature set for its price. The product is now available on Amazon for its all-time low price (please be sure to select both promotional coupons), offering commendable value for camping and outdoor enthusiasts.
