Jackery's Explorer 100D power station can fit in your palm and is safe for flights

Jackery has announced a new portable power station, and what makes this one special is its size. The new Jackery Explorer 100D, is small enough to sit on your palm, fit in your backpack, and safe enough for flights.

With a 30,000mAh/96Wh battery capacity, the Explorer 100D's LiFeP04 battery is said to have a lifespan of up to 8 years and will retain about 80% of its capacity after 3,000 cycles. The power station has two USB-C ports that have a max output of 140W and a USB-A port with a max output of 18W. The total power output when all three ports are in use us 158W.

Jackery says the new power station is optimized for Apple products as it supports AVS (Adjustable Voltage Supply) Charging. It can also be used to charge drones and vlogging cameras. There's also a low-power mode, which can be activated by pressing the display button for 3-seconds, and is useful for charging smartwatches, earbuds, and headphones.

To charge the power station, owners can use a 140W wall adapter via the C1 USB-C port, a 100W solar panel, or a 100W car adapter. All three will take the Explorer 100D from 0 to 80% in 1.7 hours. The Jackery Explorer 100D has a display that shows the output for each port in use. The screen, which can be turned off with a double-press of the display button, also shows status information such as battery health, cycles, and temperature.

The Jackery Explorer 100D is priced at $119 on the manufacturer's website, $30 cheaper than the Anker Solix C200 DC Portable Power Station which has a 192Wh battery (available on Amazon). However, you will have to sign up to be notified when it is available for pre-order.
