Jackery’s new Explorer 240D is a 256Wh portable power station that weighs less than seven pounds, and it’s currently available at Amazon for an early-bird price of $139 ($70 off). It offers pure DC output of up to 200W, and can power up to four gadgets at once when no outlet is nearby. For instance, you can plug in a handheld console, portable projector, and phone, while photographers and videographers can keep their camera gear charged while off-grid.

Where to Buy:
The Explorer 240D features a compact design that stands just 6.69 inches tall and 4.73 inches wide — small enough to easily pack in your car for a road trip. It also features a 2-in-1 handle that doubles as a 140W USB-C cable for fast-charging power-hungry devices, including a MacBook Pro. You can also connect an optional adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to easily carry the power station for on-the-go power.
There are four USB ports, including three USB-C and one USB-A, and it supports multiple recharging methods (USB-C, car, and AC-DC dual input). It also supports up to 100W solar charging, so you can go completely off the grid and still power your essential devices. Jackery says the Explorer 240D can retain up to 70 percent of its original capacity after a decade of use, with a lifespan of over 6,000 charge cycles. At just $139 right now, you’re getting a long-term investment at a great value.
