The Jackery Explorer 100 is just $89 with this early Black Friday deal

Power banks and portable power stations are smart to have on hand just in case. That’s because power outages are an unpredictable reality. And even the most prepared people can find themselves in situations along the way where there are no electrical outlets available. For these occasions, a power bank or strength station is an excellent solution. The Jackery Explorer 100 Plus portable power station is a favorite here at CNET thanks to its compact size and versatility. It’s one of many items you can find with an early Black Friday discount that’s currently back a low price of just $89. That’s a huge 40% discount and $1 less than the Prime Day low. Keep in mind that prices on Amazon fluctuate often, so we recommend you act quickly if you want to get your hands on this power bank at this price.

This is a fairly small device that fits in the palm of your hand, and it only has three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. The USB-C ports can deliver as much as 100 watts, meaning you could potentially charge a laptop or fast charge a phone if you have one that’s compatible. The USB-A port can only handle 18 watts of power, but you can use all three ports to charge devices with up to 128 watts.

As for the 99 watt-hour capacity, that’s about 27,000 mAh, or about six full charges of a phone. It’s also just under the maximum battery capacity you can take on a flight without permission, at least in most places, making it an ideal travel charger. And if you tend to camp a lot, you can use Jackery’s SolarSaga solar panel to charge the power station in about two hours, which is an impressive and hard-to-find feature for a portable power bank of this size.
