Jackery has launched the Explorer 100D, a compact portable power station with a 30,000mAh capacity, Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology and support for direct solar charging.
Measuring 11.87 x 8.26 x 8.57cm and weighing 850g, the Explorer 100D is 14% smaller and 12% lighter than the Explorer 100 Plus. Jackery describes it as its smallest portable power station to date. Its built-in handle and optional shoulder strap are intended to make it easier to carry in a backpack.
The unit is designed to comply with lithium battery transport standards, according to the information provided, allowing it to be carried on planes and trains.
Its LFP battery is designed to offer greater longevity than conventional lithium-ion technology. Jackery claims a lifespan of up to eight years, with at least 80% of the original capacity retained after 3,000 charging cycles.
For powering devices, the Explorer 100D includes two 140W USB-C ports and one 18W USB-A port. It can charge devices such as a laptop, phone and tablet at the same time, although its total combined output is limited to 158W, meaning the ports cannot all operate at their maximum power simultaneously.
The power station can be recharged from a standard outlet or through direct solar input of up to 100W, making it suitable for portable and off-grid use.
The Jackery Explorer 100D is priced at $99 / €99, equivalent to approximately £75 / AU$140. It is not currently available in the UK or Australia, although Jackery operates in both markets.
