Jackery deal alert: The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 power station is now $499 at Amazon

The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 portable power station is now $499 at Amazon, an 11% discount that brings it under the $500 price point. This upgraded 1070Wh generator is known for its bright orange-and-black design, often seen at campsites. The v2 model addresses previous issues with slow recharge times and lack of power for larger equipment.

Customers can now take advantage of a fast-charge mode, which fully replenishes the 1,070Wh battery in just one hour using the companion app. In its default mode, the power station takes about 1.7 hours to charge, but this rapid option is especially helpful when time is of the essence. With 1,500W of continuous output and a 3,000W peak surge, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 can power devices like portable air conditioners, refrigerators, microwaves, and power tools without tripping a fuse.

Weighing in at 23.8 pounds with a foldable handle, it is lightweight and portable compared to other 1kWh competitors. The power station features six outlets, including a fast 100W USB-C port, three AC wall plugs, and operates quietly in overnight mode. With a lifespan of over 4,000 charge cycles, it is expected to last for at least a decade. This Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 deal is worth grabbing while it is priced under $500.
