When it comes to portable power stations, Jackery is pretty much the brand everyone recognizes. Their bright orange-and-black boxes are practically mandatory gear at campsites, but their original mid-tier models used to take hours to recharge and lacked the punch needed for bigger gear. The upgraded Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 solves most of those old pain points, and as of Sept. 22, it’s on sale on Amazon for $499 (down from $559). The biggest upgrade in the v2 is how quickly it returns to full strength. Using the companion app, you can toggle on an emergency fast-charge mode that juices the entire 1,070Wh battery from dead to 100% in just one hour. By default, it charges in a slightly slower 1.7 hours to protect the battery over time, but having an ultra-fast option when you need to pack up in a hurry is a huge win.

The unit delivers 1,500W of continuous output with a 3,000W peak surge. That means it can comfortably handle power-hungry gear like portable AC units, tailgating fridges, microwave ovens, or power tools without tripping a fuse. At 23.8 pounds with a foldable handle, it remains surprisingly easy to lug around compared to chunkier 1kWh competitors.It also upgrades to long-lasting LiFePO4 battery cells, which last over 4,000 charge cycles — giving it a solid decade of regular use before losing noticeable capacity. Rounding out the setup are six outlets in total, including a fast 100W USB-C port for laptops, three standard AC wall plugs, and a quiet 30dB overnight mode so the fan won’t keep you awake in a tent.If you’ve been waiting to grab a reliable Jackery setup, snag the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 while it’s sitting under $500.The best deals this week, hand-picked by our shopping expertsApple iPhone 18 Pro — free at T-Mobile Paramount+ — $0.99 for 2 months with code p2mcs26premApple AirPods Pro 3 — $199 $249 (save $50)Apple iPad 11-inch — $399 $449 (save $50)TCL 85-Inch Class QM8L Series TV — $2,497.99 $3,999.99 (save $1,502)
