Jackery Explorer 300D: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Very light & compact: at approx. 2.5 kg, according to the manufacturer 39 % lighter and 64 % smaller than comparable AC power stations, easy to carry and store
- Cable is the carry handle: the integrated 140 W USB-C cable doubles as handle and fast-charging cable, so nothing to forget and nothing extra to pack
- Strong USB-C charging: two USB-C ports at 140 W each charge laptops, cameras and drones quickly, plus a 65 W port and a car output
- Long-lasting LiFePO4 cell: up to 4,000 charge cycles and designed for around 10 years of use, plus operation from -15 °C to 45 °C
- Silent with LED light: 0 dB operation without a disturbing fan, integrated LED light as emergency lighting
Points of criticism
- No AC socket: a pure DC power station, so appliances with a 230 V mains plug can only be charged if they use USB-C or a car connection
- 288 Wh is tight: for long self-sufficiency or power-hungry loads the capacity only goes so far; better for phones, laptops and short trips
- Solar panel not included: the solar generator benefit only kicks in with a separately bought panel; none is in the box
