#JACKERY PORTABLE POWER STATION EXPLORER 300 PORTABLE#
Jackery is one of Amazon’s top sellers in the portable power station category with good customer service and reasonable prices, and as this is no longer my first experience with their products, I have no hesitation to recommend its latest product. This makes it very useful for charging supported laptops. Like Goal Zero Yeti 500x, Jackery finally upgraded the E300 with a USB-C PD with a 60W output. Equally important is its verified claim of a pure sine wave – not modified – AC Inverter to produce clean electricity for sensitive electronics. The fixed carry handle unfortunately cannot be folded, making it not ideal for packing things on top.įunctionally, this is an excellent, portable power station with a multitude of AC and DC outputs, is solar charging capable with MPPT built in, and has a battery management system (BMS) to help ensure safety. Like the bigger Explorer 1000, the hard, plastic material used to help shed weight (and cost) could be prone to cracking from hard falls or bumps, potentially exposing the Lithium-Ion batteries to puncturing. The 300W of energy (and peak of 500W) provides enough power for a small amount of electronics and small appliances, such as a laptop, television, mini fridge, medical device (like CPAP), and car freezers, but will NOT work for most rice cookers, and definitely not for a vacuum, water boiler, or circular saw. The batteries are made by a manufacturer I do not know much about, but their weight is an indicator that they are likely good quality. Jackery Explorer 300 is a relatively light power station with a professional-looking exterior and flashy, orange color scheme, and is backed by a company that appears, from the stories I have read (and personally experienced), to take customer service seriously. Jackery Explorer 300 with a Mini Projector When Jackery announced the Explorer 300 (E300) with a special launch price and some improvements over the Explorer 1000 (E1000), I jumped on it for one simple reason: my little boy loves camping, and I wanted him to have a mini-Explorer of his own (actually, I wanted another backup battery, but don’t tell him that.) Literally, the E300 is a mini version of the E1000, and it looks awfully cute to have my son and I stand next to one another holding our own Explorers!

I had since invested in several car freezers (favorite is the Foho 34qt BCD-32) as part of my emergency toolset. There has been an increase in people taking emergency preparation more seriously. Coincidentally, this year’s fires on the entire US west coast is actually WORSE with new records broken! I cannot stress how important it is to be prepared for emergencies, and with a baby and young boy in our household, I wanted to ensure we have a crucial refrigerator running to store milk, medication, and whatever else we needed.

Gas/Propane Generators vs Battery Power Stationsīack in April, I purchased the Jackery Explorer 1000 and the Goal Zero Yeti 500x later as a result of 2019’s fires.
