Jackery is one of the biggest names in the home power station market — and the company has made some of the best portable power stations that we’ve tested here at CNET. From small power stations like the Explorer 300 to absolute units like the Explorer 2000 Pro, a large suite of Jackery’s collection is on sale now.
Having a portable power station on hand can be useful in a variety of situations. If you live somewhere that experiences frequent blackouts, these backup batteries might just be what you need to keep your essentials running that little bit longer before the power comes back. These are also great for camping trips, working just as well as gas generators in some cases.
Here are some deals on Jackery portable power stations that are available right now during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale:
Jackery Explorer 300 (293Wh): One of Jackery’s smallest portable power station offerings, the Explorer 300 doesn’t have many bells and whistles. What it does offer is dependability — delivering 300 watts of power in a 7.1-pound package, this power station can charge up to 80% in two hours through the wall outlet and USB-C port simultaneously.
With two AC outlets and USB-C, USB-A, quick charge 3.0 and DC car ports, the Explorer 300 can charge up to six devices at a time. At $229, you’re saving a respectable 18% (down from $279) on this piece of hardware.
Jackery Explorer 300 Plus (288Wh): The Explorer 300 Plus is like the Explorer 300’s younger brother. It weighs 5 pounds, making it one of the easiest portable power stations to carry around for travel purposes. This power station is easy to set up and operate with a one-button start, so it’s a solid pick if you’re looking to bring along a personal battery for camping trips or vacations.
The Explorer 300 Plus is also more affordable than the Explorer 300; during this sale, you can nab this portable power station for $239. This is the best price the Explorer 300 Plus has been this year, down from its original price of $300.

Jackery Explorer 500 (518Wh): While more powerful than the Explorer 300, the Explorer 500 is still quite the compact power station, letting you take a stronger backup power solution with you wherever you go. The Explorer 500 weighs in at 13.3 pounds and is around the size of a basketball, so it’s still easily packed away.

Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro (2,160Wh): Portable power stations like the Explorer 2000 Pro are the real heavy hitters of the industry.

This portable power station runs quietly, can power up to eight separate devices at once, and is fully charged and ready to go with two hours of AC outlet wall charging.
The Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro is typically quite pricey, running you $1,899. During this sale, you can cop the Explorer 2000 Pro for a 37% discount, at $1,199.
