Jackery Explorer 240D 80,000mAh LiFePO4 Power Bank

0

The Jackery Explorer 240D isn’t a tiny pocket-sized power bank that you’d tote around every day and you can’t bring it on the airplane as a carry-on (the limit is 27,000mAh). However, at under 5 pounds, it’s lighter than any dedicated power station and has enough juice to charge your laptop and mobile devices several times over. Most power banks we post are well under a quarter of that capacity. It’s an excellent compact option for power outages, roadtrips, or backpacking expeditions where a power station is just too big to lug around.

The Explorer 240D uses LiFePO4 cells instead of lithium-ion cells used in most power banks. LiFePO4 cells have inherently safer chemistry, longer lifespan, and slower calendar aging and are widely regarded as the best consumer battery option.

There are four ports to charge your devices: three USB Type-C ports (140W, 100W, and 15W) and a single 15W USB Type-A port. In terms of charging, you have two options: typical AC charging or solar charging through the DC input. The power station can be recharged from fully depleted to 80% in about one hour. A 140W USB-C cable is included.

Jackery is a well known and reliable brand. This particular line of power stations have a cumulative total of 11,000 reviews on Amazon with a 4.6 star average. The Explorer 240D comes with a three year warranty than can be extended to 5 years with product registration. The power station itself should last much longer than that.
