The portable power station market has become more competitive in the last couple of years, with brands like Anker, Bluetti, and Ecoflow now encroaching on territory once mainly occupied by Jackery thanks to their quality designs and frequent sales. Jackery used to rarely offer discounts on its products, but today is a different story, and right now, you can find the brand's top-selling model for nearly $60 off.
Typically $279, the Jackery Explorer 300 Portable Power Station is down to $220—a 21% discount. It’s a limited-time deal on the No. 2 bestselling outdoor generator on all of Amazon that owns a whopping 7,000 five-star ratings. Over 3,000 of these affordable power stations have sold in just the last month, but the brand's updated E300 Plus model is also on sale for $16 more as is the solar generator package that includes a solar panel for an additional $229.

This Jackery portable power station is a great option for car camping, road trips, or backup power in an outage. It weighs less than 8 pounds, meaning you could even use it as an on-the-go option for working where outlets might not be available. It’s capable of charging a smartphone up to 16 times, a camera battery up to 13 times, and it can keep a CPAP machine running for up to 7 hours. Plus, it recharges quickly via Jackery's 100-watt solar panel, by using a wall outlet, or even a car outlet, and it can get up to 80% charged in less than four hours, depending on the recharging method. It also has an ergonomic handle that makes it easy to carry, with a digital display that conveniently shows the remaining power at a glance.
The Jackery Explorer is useful in a variety of settings, according to shoppers. One wrote, “[It] is a robust piece of kit to own for your camper van/RV, vehicle of choice for tailgating, carry in your backpack for hiking, or store on a shelf at home for emergency preparedness in a grid down scenario.” Another said, “The ability to run multiple AC 110-volt items off of a 300-watt inverter battery is what sold me. It hasn't errored out a single time. It doesn't get hot and the battery lasts longer than I expected. I just love this little beast! It's built well, and I don't regret buying this one over all of the rivals...this was the right choice for me!”
Others appreciated that it kept their creature comforts at hand during an outage, especially as an alternative to gas-powered generators. "A modern necessity," as one shopper put it. “Most power outages are not very long-lasting, so I didn’t want to fool with a generator…If the power goes out, no stress, we just grab the Jackery. It’s practically silent and light enough to move around by just about anyone. Is the Nintendo Switch low? No problem. Your Chromebook? Want to run the PS4 or Xbox One? No worries. Your phone, watch, tablet—again, zero stress. Just plug it in.”
As one of the brands at the front of the portable power station boom, Jackery is a more-than-reliable option for anywhere power in an outage, and the Explorer 300 and 300 Plus are both worthy options. Both are $60 off right now, but this is a limited-time deal, so act fast.
