Jackery's smallest-ever portable power station uses long-lasting LFP batteries

Jackery has introduced its latest portable power station, the Explorer 100D, boasting a compact and lightweight design. This palm-sized device measures 11.87 x 8.26 x 8.57cm and weighs just 850g, making it 14% smaller and 12% lighter than its predecessor, the Explorer 100 Plus. With a 30,000mAh capacity, the Explorer 100D is ideal for keeping devices powered during outdoor adventures or travel.

Powered by a long-lasting lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, the Explorer 100D is touted to be safer and longer-lasting than standard lithium-ion batteries. Jackery claims the LFP battery can last up to 8 years and maintain at least 80% of its capacity over 3,000 charging cycles. The power station is equipped with two 140W USB-C ports and an 18W USB-A port, enabling simultaneous charging of multiple devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets.

However, the combined charging capacity is capped at 158W, preventing simultaneous full-power charging of all ports.

The Explorer 100D also supports direct solar input, reaching up to 100W, making it suitable for off-grid charging. Despite its compact size, it includes a built-in handle and optional shoulder strap for convenient carrying. The power station meets lithium battery transport standards, allowing it to be transported on planes and trains.

Priced at $99 / €99 (approximately £75 / AU$140), the Explorer 100D is considered reasonably affordable for a 30,000mAh power station. While it is not yet available in the UK or Australia, Jackery's presence in these regions suggests the possibility of future availability.
