Introduction to the Explorer 100D
Jackery has officially announced a new portable power station that integrates safer and longer-lasting lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, a technology the company first introduced back in 2023. What makes the new Explorer 100D stand out in the crowded market of mobile power accessories is that it serves as Jackery's smallest power station to date, engineered for maximum portability. Further details are available from The Verge in the original source material.
Measuring only 4.6 by 3.4 by 3.4 inches and weighing just 1.87 pounds, the device brings a longer lasting lithium iron phosphate battery right into the palm of your hand. Its physical footprint and 96Wh (30,000mAh) of battery capacity allow users to easily squeeze it into a carry-on bag to power multiple devices throughout a long flight.
Pricing, Availability, and Lifespan
Consumers looking to purchase the device will find that the Jackery Explorer 100D becomes available starting November 15th through Walmart for a price of $99. For buyers who prefer not to wait until the official launch date, the power station is already available for purchase from Costco, though it is currently sold exclusively in a two-pack priced at $179.99.
While shoppers can certainly find smaller and cheaper 30,000mAh portable chargers on the market, Jackery notes that the LFP cells in the 100D are engineered for up to 8 years of regular use. Featuring a 3,000 charge cycle lifespan, the unit is built to comfortably outlast competing products that rely on more common lithium-ion battery cells.
Design Features and Portability
Although the 100D model is considerably smaller and lighter than Jackery’s other portable power stations, the manufacturer has still included several practical design touches. The company provides an integrated handle on the hardware, alongside an optional shoulder strap to make carrying the power station around as effortless as possible.
Connectivity and Charging Capabilities
The front panel of the power station houses a robust selection of connection options. Users will find a pair of 140W USB-C ports alongside an additional 18W USB-A port.
Because the 100D maxes out at a total output of 158W, power delivery across the active ports will be dynamically reduced when all three connections are in use simultaneously.
When the battery is depleted and standard wall outlets are unavailable, users who have packed a compatible solar panel can take advantage of the unit's direct solar input capabilities. The 100D supports up to 100W of direct solar input, which can successfully charge the internal battery back up to 80 percent capacity in approximately an hour and a half.
