Jackery Explorer 290
The Jackery 290 is small and portable but packs plenty of power. It delivers over 200W of power with a 400W peak power rating.
Portable power stations are one of the best accessories for camping, emergency preparedness, or enjoying the great outdoors. However, most are big and heavy, and not what I’d call portable. If you’re looking for portable on-demand power in a package that’s easy to carry, the little Jackery Explorer 290 Wh power bank is down to only $170.
The compact yet capable Jackery Explorer 290 has an MSRP of $279, although we frequently see it priced around $250. However, for a limited time and on sale today only (June 16th), you canget this little beast from Best Buy for only $170, a savings of $79.
Best Buy is clearing stock of this power bank at the perfect time, too, as many of you are likely gearing up for summer adventures, camping trips, or even a backyard projector movie night. If you need extra power for phones, tablets, charging an action camera, or even powering outdoor speakers, this is for you.
The Jackery Explorer 290 Wh isn’t as big as most portable power stations, but that’s the point. You get 290 Wh, delivering 200W of power or up to 400W of peak power to run larger devices. It has enough juice to easily fully charge phones, tablets, laptops, or even run a mini fridge. This portable power station is closer to a giant power bank than anything.
While this unit doesn’t have endless ports like some power stations, it does have one 120V AC outlet and two full-size USB-A ports for all your gadgets. Sadly, there’s no USB-C, but it does have a DC cigarette lighter port to pump up that air mattress in the woods. You can recharge it from a wall, car, or solar panels.
Again, this isn’t the biggest or the best power station, but if you need a little juice for a camping or fishing trip, you’ll love this thing. If you’re interested, don’t delay; get yours for $170.99 during this one-day sale.
