Power outages and off-grid adventures share a common problem: keeping your essential devices charged and running when wall outlets aren’t available. Portable power stations solve this by packing serious battery capacity and multiple charging ports into a format you can actually move around, and Jackery’s Explorer 1000 has become the benchmark in this category.
The company has made aggressive pricing moves during Prime Big Deal Day to make this 1500W power station affordable: It started the event at $449, dropped to $399, and has now hit $349, down from the standard $799 price. This Prime-exclusive offer expires tonight when the promotional event closes, giving members just hours left to secure this pricing.

Capacities and Outputs that Fulfill Your Needs
The Explorer 1000 is home to a 1070Wh LiFePO4 battery which means usable runtime that you can plan your adventures around. This battery will charge a laptop about 10 times, power a mini-fridge about 13 hours or keep your phone powered for weeks. LiFePO4 chemistry is notable because these batteries have substantially longer lifespan compared to the common lithium-ion battery and last about 4,000 charge cycles before the battery’s capacity falls as low as 70%.
The 1500W AC output powers large appliances that small power stations cannot handle. You can power power tools in a work site, use a space heater when camping, or maintain a coffee maker percolating when the power goes out. Peak surge capability of 3000AW addresses the initial power surge when motors have a startup, such as the brief increase when a compressor on a refrigerator comes on.
Multiple output choices meet varied device charging demands all at once: The 100W USB-C Power Delivery port charges laptops, tablets, and smartphones at full speed without the need for large AC adapters. Older devices work with the traditional USB-A ports, and the AC outlets take regular plugs for anything from cameras and drones to electric blankets.
The one-hour fast charging capability is a major improvement over earlier portable power stations that required eight hours or more to fully recharge. Using the included AC adapter, you can take the Explorer 1000 v2 from empty to full in about 60 minutes, which makes it practical to top up during lunch breaks or between activities.
For just $349, you’re getting professional-level portable power at half the cost. This Prime Big Deals night price goes away tonight.
