Power outages during storms, camping trips without reliable electricity, tailgating events that need a blender for frozen drinks, remote work setups in RVs, or simply keeping your essential devices running during emergency situations… These scenarios share one common frustration: being disconnected from power when you need it most.
A portable power station solves this problem by providing reliable electricity anywhere and gives you the freedom to charge laptops, run small appliances, or keep medical devices operational during blackouts. If you’ve found yourself in any of these situations wishing you had backup power, the Jackery Explorer 1000 is currently at a record low of $429, down from $799. This 46% discount makes one of the most capable portable power stations accessible for people who need reliable energy independence.

The Explorer 1000 holds 1,070 watt-hours of capacity in an incredibly light 23.8-pound package. This held energy translates to usable use like powering a mini-fridge for roughly 10 hours, charging a laptop over multiple work sessions, or keeping your phone charged dozens of times through. The unit can output 1,500 continuous watts via its three pure sine wave AC receptacles and can surge a maximum of 3,000 watts momentarily as appliances come online.
Charges Faster Than You’d Ever Imagine
Jackery designed this power station using ChargeShield 2.0 technology which enables full recharge in one hour when you activate emergency mode via the accompanying app. That’s due to intelligent charging algorithms that push maximum current safely into the lithium iron phosphate battery cells. The standard charge time stands at 1.7 hours which strikes a balance between fast charging and maintaining long-term battery health by minimizing heat gain during charging. For perspective, most other power stations you’ll find take four to six hours for a full charge.
LiFePO4 battery chemistry delivers outstanding longevity over conventional lithium-ion cells. This battery retains over 70% of its capacity after 4,000 full charge cycles, or over a decade of moderate use if you’re cycling the battery every week. Lithium iron phosphate cells also handle extreme temperatures more robustly and represent less fire hazard than traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The port choice caters to modern charging needs with two USB-C ports offering 100 watts of power delivery, a USB-A port, a 12-volt automotive port, and the usual three AC ports. A 100-watt USB-C port can charge new MacBook Pros, iPads and high-end Android phones at maximum speed without requiring separate power bricks.
At $429, this power station is practically half its regular price but provides the capacity and functionality that makes portable power stations really useful and not novelty items.
