JackeryExplorer 240 v2 Portable Power Station 2024 New Version, 256Wh LiFePO4 Battery with 300W AC/100W USB-C Output, 1Hr Fast Charging, Versatile Scenarios-Outdoor/Camping/Fishing/Picnics

After sending back a different brand product due to it breaking on second mains charge I went for the Jackery charging station and I made the right decision. Everything about the item just has a little touch of quality and class. For example, the mains cable has its own little cable tidy for when not using mains charging. The battery life is very good and I have run it down a couple of times over multiple phone/vape/small portable charges and kept notes to see how many items it can charge overall before it runs flat. I am overall very satisfied with it and it looks cool too! An extra USB slot would be nice but with 2 usb-c and 1 usb port it can charge 3 items at once which is enough. Wait till on offer to purchase.

Very neat piece of kit. Not as large and heavy as I had feared. I bought it not for camping, though I might use it for that also, but because we have been getting long power cuts. A friend had already bought one and it kept her online for over two days. Charges quickly and you can connect to it via your phone to check its levels.

The solar panel with our kit is excellent, as is the main unit.

We have only had this power station for a few days. We bought it as an emergency back up for mains power outages, so we could charge phones and have some light etc, its not powerful enough to run anything else. It has a good variety of power output ports to cover all small electrical requirements. Its quite rugged so I reckon you could take it camping. I don't have a solar panel so I can't comment on solar charging times etc. As far as we are concerned if fits our needs, and was within our budget. I good little handy power station.

I've only just bought this power station and will be trying it out properly in a few weeks time on a camping trip to Scotland.But first impressions are brilliant.It is so small and compact and not much weight to it at all.Can't wait to put it to the real test soon.Item was delivered much quicker than expected too 👍👌

Finally an easy backup power solution for household appliances that is both user friendly and so simple even a child can use.We live in the UK Peak District and usually get 2-3 blackouts per year anyway, that was before taking into account the current energy crisis as a result of the 2022 geopolitical situation. So this was something of a considered gamble, having grown weary of how messy, fussy and user unfriendly fuel generators still insist on being in order to operate safely.Tested this to run our wifi router for an entire afternoon, and later as a stress test to run my home office, consisting of 3x3w bulb standing lamp, DAB radio, iPhone w/ hotspot on USB charge, 15” laptop for email and word processing in dock, printer (mostly on standby) & 32” LED PC monitor. This ran the entire setup for 3 hours.Very versatile and doesn’t require any messy maintenance or extra converters/parts etc to use safely. Just literally unplug whatever you want to run from the mains and plug it back in to the standard UK plug socket on the front of the unit, press the little button by the display and then just carry on as normal, multi-plugs are fine too, so long as the load of connected electricals does not exceed 200w total.At £259 this 200w model isn’t cheap, but there are few things in the western world that are worse than a power cut, and this keeps those little conveniences running regardless. Once depleted, plug it in to the mains overnight with the charger provided and it’s ready to go again. As other reviewers have said, this does make a bit of a noise and emit a vague synthetic chemical smell when in use, as a fan will intermittently start up, akin to a high-end desktop PC, but this is probably unavoidable given the thermodynamics involved. At least this can be safely used indoors right next to whatever you need to power.Larger models are available (500 & 1000 watt) and I can now see the appeal of these, but will wait to see how this performs long term before purchasing another.

Top quality product. We purchased this initially to keep our tropical fish alive during a 320 mile move. Made sure fish tank was safe and secure and plugged in filter to the Jackery charger. Wasn't sure if battery would last but was surprised to see it still had over 60% charge left after 8 hours! Even has an app to monitor the charge.We plan to use it on camping trips in the future so we have every confidence it will be up to the job.

Fantastic device. I usew it in the car, caravan and at home. I charge it with the solarpanel on my caravan roof and it runs a tiny vacuum cleaner. It charges all my devices when I am away and never runs low. In the car, I charge it with the car when it's running and use it to power a small fridge when we are on a long journey. It runs a laptop and my phones with ease. I use it in the garden to run a projector to watch films against my garage wall. I am looking for a bigger one, but this is still going to play a big part and will still go everywhere with us when we travel.
