Jackery just launched another portable power station for those looking for on-the-go power, only this one is more of a large power bank in an ultra-compact form factor. The all-new Jackery Explorer 240D is a 200W (256Wh) designed to go wherever life takes you.
Earlier this week, the company debuted a massive 3600 Plus whole-home backup solution. And now, they’re going in the opposite direction with something small, lightweight, yet powerful enough for all your gadgets.
The Jackery Explorer 240D features a new upright design, weighs under 5 lb, and comes with a unique new 2-in-1 handle and charging cable, which doubles as a strap for grab-and-go power. It’s perfect for all your adventures—whether camping, off-grid, or in the backyard for a projector movie night. If that sounds nice, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s available starting today for only $139 on Amazon. Better yet, that 2-in-1 handle and charging cable support the 140W USB-C port to fast charge high-power devices like laptops and tablets.
According to Jackery, this new device is 70% smaller and 46% lighter than previous comparable models, not to mention similar power banks from much of the competition. On the inside, the Jackery Explorer 240D features an 80,000mAh (256Wh) LiFePO4 battery that delivers 200W of continuous power to four versatile ports.
The Jackery Explorer 240D has one USB-A port, a 15W USB-C, 100W USB-C PD, and an even faster 140W USB-C port. Here’s what the company had to say: “One of the key advantages of the Jackery Explorer 240D is its pure DC output, which offers a more efficient and direct way to power and charge your digital devices. Unlike traditional AC power stations, the 240D is specifically designed to provide DC power. This means there’s no need for the extra conversion from AC to DC, reducing energy loss and providing a seamless charging experience for a variety of devices.”
This new ultra-portable power station charges from 0–80% in under an hour using the included 140W USB-C cable and an AC wall plug. It features 100W solar charging to top it off in under 3 hours while you’re out enjoying the wild outdoors, and it supports car charging to give owners more ways to stay topped off during their adventures. It’s a solid little unit built for an on-the-go lifestyle.
These days, most portable power stations aren’t all that portable and come with huge handles and wheels for lugging around. If you’re looking for something truly portable or were sad to see Jackery discontinue the tiny Explorer 100 Plus, this latest 200W DC output unit is for you.
Interestingly enough, the new Jackery 240D will retail for $210, but the company is currently offering an early-bird price of $169 for a limited time. That said, it’s down to only $139 as part of Amazon’s early Prime Day deals. So, grab one at a discount while you still can.
