Jackery Explorer 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

I bought this power bank on the recommendation that it could give my mobility scooter a boost in an emergency — and I’m genuinely impressed. I tested it on my Afikim scooter and within just 30 minutes it delivered a meaningful charge. It didn’t fully recharge the batteries (which I didn’t expect), but it provided more than enough power to get me moving again. For anyone who relies on a mobility scooter, this is a game‑changer. It’s reassuring, practical, and gives real peace of mind on longer journeys. Absolutely worth having as part of your kit.

I first heard about Jackery a few years ago watching Camping / Van-life channels on YouTube. So when I saw this model at a reasonable price on Amazon I decided to get it. Personally I find it very useful for basic devices, like charging phones and laptops etc. Also for powering things like camping lanterns and small electronics. I personally consider the Explorer to be a large power bank, rather than a power station. You'd probably need to buy the larger models for a more robust power capacity. As I've found this one does run down fairly fast, even during moderate usage. Thankfully the recharge time for the Explorer has proved very quick from my perspective, so when used at home it's no problem. Maybe less so if out in the wilderness away from a plug point. But if you have a solar panel, then it also shouldn't be a problem either. It's fairly lightweight, with a carry handle and seems designed to be used for it's intended purpose. So if you need something to power your devices and small electronics, then the Explorer is ideal. But maybe weigh the pricing options vs your power capacity needs before making your choice.

Good power bank. Has a 3pin socket that seems to handle my laptop and 300w kettle. Fan is audible when under medium-high load. Only gripes, it doesn't have a special solar input like there higher models, only 100w USB C input. Seems rugged. Though there's no cover for cigarette output. Sure, there's none for the USB ports either, but that large hole seems overly exposured. Size is not too bad. It's portable and can be easily carried. Handle is sturdy. Charging speeds are great.

Brilliant battery! Plug socket works like you would expect, charges fast, holds a charge for ages, big capacity. What more could you want? The phone app is actually kind of useful and lets you check the charge level and turn the little light on and off from your phone. We used this on a camping trip to run a little fridge and it lasted the whole weekend without issues.

A great little unit that fits neatly under the bed in my camper van. It easily meets my needs for 2-3 days off grid ( note it is not used for cooking or refrigeration). It holds its charge nicely and the display is very clear and easily understood. Haven't tried charging on the road yet, as I would have to purchase an additional lead, but the mains charging lead comes with it and it charges pretty quickly. Jackery was recommended to me by friends who leave theirs out overnight to power a moth trap on a nature reserve, which has a very bright light. I would say, be certain of how much power you need and for how long before deciding on which size unit to buy. There are plenty of options in this range (this is the smallest) and you can add solar charging at an extra cost if desired.

OKish but won't run an AC 200W dehumidifier despite being rated at 300W. Won't charge and maintain a 12V car battery either. It always cuts out at 45%. A very disappointing product.

The lesser know aspect of this device is that it works perfectly as an uninterruptable power supply. I noticed this device has a UK AC mains plug socket which means I can plug my PC in to it and take advantage of the lesser known UPS aspect of this fantastic device. The manual states 20ms response which worked perfectly when our mains was tripped on two occasions. I only have my PC connected which is used for software development. My PC including dual monitors draws around 60-100w which means the battery backup can power it for over 2 hours. More than ample for more power cut scenarios. There is a smaller cheaper version that also has this amazing feature but I opted for the 256Wh version. Build quality is 10/10 and it's about the size of a 2 slice toaster. It's makes a little noise when it is charging but nothing unreasonable and is otherwise completely quiet. This is a great product that I am very happy to have finally found!

Bought this power station to enable me to power my telescope in the field. This works well, is really portable, and I have used it to provide gadget or charging power on trips and on the go. This jacket charges quickly, is app connected, and holds its power. It seems to be robust, as well. I liked this one so much after getting it on sale that I bought the Jackery 1000 V2 as well.
