Portable power stations have gone from niche gadgets to everyday essentials, useful for camping trips and providing backup power at home. So, I was very happy to see this Jackery model in the Presidents' Day sale.

Hitting the sweet spot for size and usability, the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus is now $200 (was $300) at Best Buy.

With a 288Wh capacity, this unit is built to keep small electronics running without the bulk of larger power stations. It’s ideal for charging laptops, phones, cameras, drones, or running lights and a TV during short outages. To my mind, this is a smart buy for anyone who wants reliable power without carrying something oversized, and it's backed by a 5-year warranty, too.

The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus packs a 288Wh LiFePO4 battery into a lightweight 8.3lb design, offering 300W continuous power with a 600W peak. It supports five devices at once with AC, USB-C, USB-A, and car outputs. At $200, it’s a compact backup for travel, remote work, and home emergencies.

The pure sine wave AC outlet delivers 300W continuous output with a 600W peak, giving enough headroom for everyday devices that need stable power.

The port setup is practical for real world use. You get one AC outlet, two 100W USB-C PD ports, a 15W USB-A port, and a car port, which means you can power up to five devices at once. That makes it just as useful on a campsite as it is sitting in a home office or keeping gear charged on a road trip.

At just 8.3lbs and measuring 9.1 x 6.6 x 6.1 inches, it’s easy to carry and doesn’t take up much space in a car or cupboard. One button start keeps things simple, so you’re not scrolling through menus when you just want some power.

You can fully recharge the power station in about 2 hours from an AC outlet, or around 4 hours with optional 100W solar panels or a 100W USB-C input.

The LiFePO4 battery chemistry is rated for up to 4000 cycles and paired with built in safety protections, giving long term reliability and better temperature resistance.

You also get app control over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so you can monitor battery levels and adjust settings easily.
