The Jackery Explorer 300 has become the best-selling portable power station on Amazon this Black Friday, and here’s why. This compact unit creates backup power during winter outages, camping trips and emergencies and only weighs a mere 7.1 pounds.
And the good news is, Amazon just dropped it to an all-time low of $159 from its usual $259 price tag. The 293Wh lithium-ion battery packs enough capacity to charge laptops, phones and small appliances without requiring a noisy gas generator.
Serious power in a grab-and-go package
The 293Wh battery capacity gives you real runtime that you can actually plan around. You will have enough to recharge a smartphone about 24 times, power a laptop for about 4 to 5 hours, or run a small LED light for days. Two Pure Sine Wave AC outlets deliver clean 300W power that’s safe for sensitive electronics like medical devices and modern computers. Pure sine wave output matches the quality of electricity from your wall outlets to prevent the voltage spikes and fluctuations that damage equipment.
Recharging takes just 2 hours to reach 80% capacity when you plug into a wall outlet and use the 60W PD USB-C port simultaneously. This dual-charging approach gets the battery ready fast when you need to head out quickly. You can also recharge through your car’s 12V outlet during road trips, slowly building capacity while you drive.
Six output ports support multiple devices simultaneously with no need for adapters or splitters. Two AC outlets power standard household devices such as fans, portable heaters, or small appliances. A 60W PD USB-C port quickly charges laptops, tablets, and modern smartphones and can double as an input to recharge the power station itself. A Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A port supports rapid charging in compatible phones and accessories. Additionally, a standard USB-A port supports older devices, and the DC car port powers 12V equipment such as portable coolers or tire inflators.
At 7.1 pounds, this power station is really portable compared to the much heavier models that require two hands to carry. You can grab it with one hand and move it around your campsite, vehicle, or home during power outages. The compact footprint fits within car trunks, under seats, or within closets without occupying any valuable space.
Winter power outages become less stressful when you have backup power for essential devices. You can keep your phone charged to stay connected, power a small space heater for warmth, or run medical equipment that can’t go offline. Silent operation means you can use it indoors without the noise and exhaust fumes of gas generators. An LCD screen displays remaining battery percentage, input/output wattage, and charging status at a glance, so you always know how much power you have left.
At $159 during Black Friday, this portable power station provides peace of mind and practical backup power for $100 less than usual. You’re getting enough capacity for emergency situations and weekend camping trips in a package that actually stays portable.
