Jackery Unveils the Explorer 100D, Its Smallest LFP-Powered Portable Power Station to Date

Jackery has announced the expansion of its portable power station lineup with a new model designed for maximum portability without sacrificing the safety and longevity benefits of modern battery chemistry. The company, which first introduced safer and longer-lasting lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries to its product ecosystem in 2023, is bringing that same technology to its most compact form factor yet. The newly revealed Explorer 100D stands out as Jackery’s smallest power station to date, representing a strategic shift toward ultra-portable energy solutions tailored for frequent travelers, remote workers, and everyday commuters who need reliable juice on the go.

Measuring a mere 4.6 by 3.4 by 3.4 inches and tipping the scales at just 1.87 pounds, the Explorer 100D is engineered to occupy minimal space in a backpack, briefcase, or travel bag. Despite its diminutive physical footprint, the device packs a notable 96Wh—equivalent to 30,000mAh—of battery capacity. This specific capacity has been chosen with careful consideration of airline travel regulations, allowing users to effortlessly squeeze the power station into a carry-on bag and utilize it to power multiple electronic devices during a long-haul flight or an extended day away from traditional wall outlets.

Market availability for the Jackery Explorer 100D is rolling out through multiple retail channels. The power station is scheduled to become available starting November 15th through major retailer Walmart, where it will be sold individually for a price of $99. For consumers who prefer not to wait until the mid-November launch date, the device is already available for purchase through Costco, though it is currently offered exclusively as a two-pack bundle priced at $179.99.

While shoppers can certainly find smaller and cheaper 30,000mAh portable chargers scattered across the consumer electronics market, Jackery emphasizes that the internal components of the 100D set it apart from standard power banks. The LFP cells housed within the Explorer 100D are specifically engineered for up to eight years of regular use, according to the manufacturer. Furthermore, the battery boasts an impressive lifespan rated at 3,000 charge cycles, meaning the new power station should easily outlast and outperform competing products that rely on more common lithium-ion battery cells, which typically degrade much faster under heavy, regular usage conditions.

Even though the 100D is considerably smaller and lighter than Jackery’s other larger portable power stations—such as the heavy-duty models typically reserved for home backup and off-grid camping trips—the manufacturer has still incorporated thoughtful design elements for handling and transport. The device features an integrated handle, and Jackery also offers an optional shoulder strap to make carrying the power station around even more convenient for users on the move.

The front panel of the Explorer 100D is outfitted with a versatile array of connection options to accommodate various modern electronics. Users will find a pair of robust 140W USB-C ports capable of handling high-draw devices, accompanied by an additional 18W USB-A port for legacy accessories or smaller gadgets like wireless earbuds or fitness trackers. However, operators should note that the power station maxes out at a total combined output of 158W. Consequently, power delivery across the individual ports will be dynamically reduced when all three connections are actively in use simultaneously.

For scenarios where users find themselves entirely off the grid, unable to locate a traditional wall outlet, and fortunate enough to have packed a compatible solar panel, the Explorer 100D offers practical off-grid recharging capabilities. The device supports up to 100W of direct solar input. When paired with a suitable solar panel under optimal sunlight conditions, this direct input can replenish the power station’s internal battery back up to 80 percent capacity in approximately an hour and a half, ensuring that users can maintain power autonomy even during extended power outages or remote outdoor excursions.
