Jackery’s power stations are known for their rugged design and reliable features, and if you’ve been on the fence about getting one, it’s good news as they’re on sale for Black Friday. One of the best-selling options is the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2, now down to a new all-time low of $349 at Amazon.

While the listing shows $80 off from the usual $429, the savings are actually bigger than you think. The Explorer 1000 v2 originally launched at $799, meaning you’re saving $450, or over half the original price.

Why Buy the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2?

There are plenty of portable power stations on the market, but the Jackery Explorer 1000 series has proven itself with a tougher build. The Explorer 1000 v2 features drop-proof and fire-resistant protection, giving you peace of mind whether you’re traveling or using it in a busy backyard.

Despite its rugged design, it’s lighter than many competing 1 kWh power cubes, weighing just 23.8 lbs. A large folding handle makes it easy to carry with one hand. Other handy features include an LED torch, useful during power outages or as a backup light when camping.

The Explorer 1000 v2 has a rated battery capacity of 1,070 Wh LFP (lithium iron phosphate), enough to fully recharge a MacBook more than a dozen times or run a Starlink standard setup for over a day. High-powered appliances are no problem thanks to its 1,500-watt output (3,000 watts peak). Multiple devices can be plugged in at once with its wide array of ports, including three AC sockets, two USB-C ports, and a car port.

Recharging is fast, too. It can go from 0 to 100% in just 1.7 hours, or as little as an hour in emergency mode. For balcony or outdoor setups, you can connect multiple solar panels to keep it powered continuously.
