Swinging back over to Jackery’s Prime Big Deal Days sale that is taking up to 50% off power stations, bundles, and accessories through October 7, we spotted a great deal for campers and travelers in the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is now down at $549 shipped. Normally priced at $799 since it first hit the market in May, we’ve mainly seen it keeping above $679 in the time since, with a few weekend flash sales taking costs further to the former $599 low more recently. With the company offering its Prime Day pricing ahead of Amazon’s 2-day event, you now have the chance to score the unit with a larger-than-ever $250 markdown that lands it at a new all-time low price. You’ll also find a bundle option to get the power station with a 200W solar panel for $799, down from $1,299.
With its newer Explorer 1000 v2 power station, Jackery has upgraded to a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity (from its predecessor’s 1,002Wh) that offers better efficiency and performance at lower charge levels. Its power output has also been bumped up from 1,000W to 1,500W to cover a wider array of appliances that you’d likely be taking with you on your trips. Charging times have also been improved with this model, as a wall outlet can completely refuel the battery in just 1.6 hours while solar charging with a maximum 600W input takes only 3 hours (as opposed to the 7.5 hours through a 180W solar input).
There’s an emergency charging feature with this model, activated through the companion app, that will allow last-minute charges to a full battery in one hour via a wall outlet, which definitely takes some added stress off last-minute plans or sudden weather warnings. It has also been given the next generation of Chargeshield 2.0 that provides a whopping 62 forms of all-round protection, so don’t worry about accidental surges from storms, sudden outages, and so on. It has seven output ports for your charging needs: three ACs, two USB-Cs, one USB-A, and one car port.
