Jackery is back at it with a new portable power station. This time, the brand has gone mini, and it's the most adorable power station I've ever seen. It'll be a great model if you're looking for ultimate portability.
The Jackery Explorer 100D is a 96Wh mini portable power station that can fit in the palm of your hand. It weighs just under two pounds and comes equipped with a convenient carrying strap. Snag the Explorer 100D at Walmart for $99 beginning on Nov. 15 or visit your local Costco to get a two-pack for $179.99.
Here's everything to know about the Jackery Explorer 100D before you run out to buy one for yourself.
Highlights of the Jackery Explorer 100D
Yes, it looks cute enough to hang on the Christmas tree as an ornament, but the Explorer 100D is one of the coolest portable power stations I've seen in years in terms of function. For starters, it's tiny. It weighs 1.9 pounds with measurements of 4.7 inches wide, 3.3 inches deep, and 3.4 inches in height. It fits into the palm of my hand easily, and the attached handle makes it easy to carry.
The Explorer 100D has two USB-C ports and one USB-A. The USB-C ports can output a maximum of 140W combined while the USB-A has a maximum 18W output. Overall capacity measures a petite 96Wh. During my quick testing, it's recharging my (ancient) Google Pixel 8 phone about four times before the power station itself needs to recharge.
The 100D doesn't take long to recharge. In my experience, it gets back to 100% in about 100 minutes with standard wall AC power. You can also recharge via solar with up to 100W.
Who should buy the Jackery Explorer 100D
I'm convinced the Jackery 100D will be a great model for a quick camping trip or creators who tend to run out of camera or phone battery on a full-day out. Its small 96Wh capacity means it's not a great model for recharging anything more than small tech gadgets. If you're looking for a model for home backup during a storm, you definitely want something larger or even a fridge-specific portable power station.
How to buy the Jackery Explorer 100D
Getting your own mini Jackery Explorer 100D is unfortunately not a one-click option for the time being. The brand is launching the mini power station at select Costco warehouses and Walmart. If you're a Costco member, head to the Jackery website to find a list of Costco locations where you can buy a two-pack of the Explorer 100D for $179.99.
On Nov. 15, you'll be able to get a standalone 100D at Walmart for $99.
