FAQ
Q1: What devices can the Explorer 300 power?
A: The Explorer 300 can charge/power devices that operate at less than 300 watts and the total wattage of all connected devices should also be under 300 watts as well. If the power requirement exceeds this limit, the Explorer 300 will automatically shut off. Please check your device's specifications before making a purchase.
Q2: How can I know the working time for my device?
A: You can calculate the working time using the formula: Working time = 300Wh*0.85/operating power of your device. For example, if the power consumption of your device is 60W, the estimated working time would be approximately 4.3 hours. Please note that actual power consumption may vary based on different usage scenarios.
Q3: How long does it take to fully charge the Explorer 300 power station?
The Explorer 300 can be fully charged in approximately 4 hours via AC wall outlet. Alternatively, you have two other recharge options: around 4.5 hours from a car port and around 5.5 hours from a Jackery SolarSaga 100W solar panel (sold separately).
Q4: Can the Explorer 300 be charged while in use?
A: Yes, you can use the Explorer 300 to charge devices while it is being recharged at the same time.

Most power outages are not very long lasting. So, I didn’t want to fool with a generator. I imagined how I’d have to check a generator every month. The maintenance. Wheeling the heavy unit around. Getting & storing fuel. Having enough fuel. Making sure the fuel lasts. Struggling to pull start it. The fumes from running it. The loud noise when it actually does run. Not to mention, an easy thousand plus bucks to buy one. All that seems overwhelming for more than 99% of our needs.
If the power goes out, no stress, we just grab the Jackery. It’s practically silent and light enough to move around by just about anyone. Is the Nintendo Switch low? No problem. Your Chromebook? Want to run the PS4 or Xbox One? No worries. Your phone, watch, tablet - again - zero stress - just plug it in. Wa-la, problems fixed.
It can run fans and a whole host of other devices too - not just your typical tech electronics. During tests, we ran our cable modem / router for many hours to provide WiFi. It accepts regular wall socket type plugs too. Also during our tests, it ran a 55” inch TV along with a PS4 Pro for over 1.5 hours. We even used a disc based game to use even more power. With a smaller screen it’s closer to 2.5 hours. Downloaded games use less power too. The Nintendo Switch uses even less. All that exceeded my expectations. SUPER EASY.
Now let’s talk camping, car trips and other family outings. Again, the Jackery 300 is clutch. There’s no need to be concerned about limited outlets in the car to charge or none available at a park or campsite. If I’m going camping - this will always come with us. How nice to run a fan inside the tent during the summer nights! This will instantly get you “glamping”. Tons of options here.
The Jackery 300 is also fairly compact and lightweight and weighs in right around 7 1/4 pounds. It’s significantly smaller than the size of a small Igloo Playmate Cooler that I have used as a lunchbox for years.
I appreciate that’s it’s powerful but doesn’t take up much space. It’s interface is solid and super easy to understand. All around it’s very intuitive and you can tell everything is very well thought out. It also has you covered with a wide variety of plugs from AC outlet sockets to a car power port to USB-A and the newer USB-C. It even comes with a quality zipper pouch to store your charging cables.
Another thing about Jackery is it’s a widely recognized brand with a proven quality track record. Many no name brands are out there that don’t include the device and circuit protections Jackery units do. The last thing I want to do is buy another power station after frying our expensive electronics. I am a believer that when you buy cheap, you often buy twice. This is the top brand in this category of products. I definitely don’t have time to mess with low quality el cheapo brand units.
Without boring you with detailed specs, the Jackery 300 produces a very clean stream of power - which is exactly what you want. In layman’s terms, it’s a smooth stream without all the peaks, valleys and surges that can harm your devices.
One thing we tend to forget until something happens is what we have on hand for emergencies. This is definitely on my list. If we need to evacuate for any number of reasons (storms, fires, Godzilla - the weirdness of 2020) the Jackery 300 is a must take item.
Those in the Prepper, Bug Out and Emergency Preparedness minded communities should be all about this. It can even be fully recharged in just a few hours with the optional Solar Saga solar panel. It can of course be recharged too by your standard home outlet or even your car - and it doesn’t take forever to do it. It also doesn’t alert everyone far and wide that you have power. That might be handy while in a non permissive environment or even a noise restricted campsite.
In today’s age and with everything going on, this should really be a staple device in our homes. I feel better just knowing it’s on hand. It’s one less thing to worry about.
Lastly, I plan on buying another for my senior citizen mother too. That alone should say a lot!
TLDR: Zero regrets with this purchase. It’s an absolute no-brainer.

The Jackery Explorer 300. What is it? Some know it as a power station, some know it as a solar generator, and some have no idea nor clue as to what the unit is or how to even utilize it. This review should shed some light on that and get you folks up to speed and in the know in regards to what there is to know about this new Jackery Explorer 300 power station / solar generator.
Portable power generation and storage. The new Jackery Explorer 300 released on September 1st, 2020 of this year is Jackery’s latest and greatest product to hit the off-grid power sector. Their products are used by campers, nomads, tailgaters, and preppers alike. The Jackery power stations are portable power solutions that can be powered or recharged via solar power, automotive 12v DC, AC 110v home / office outlet, or shore power connection from an available external power source at a camp site / RV Park.
Jackery Explorer 300 features the latest and greatest in tech with it’s modern USB-C PD output port, USB-A QC 3.0 output port, addition of a second 110v AC receptacle, and an all new MPPT charge controller built-in to the unit to allow for rapid and sustained high-speed charging, doubling that of the previous Jackery Explorer 160 and Explorer 240 models on the market. Weighing in at only 7lbs, this new Explorer 300 model is the pinnacle of lightweight and portable power! Paired with a Jackery Solar Saga 60 solar panel and you would be sustainable with unlimited green power whilst backpacking / hiking out in the wilderness for days on end.
Power Stations / Solar Generators like the Jackery line of products, specifically the Explorer 300 are perfect for van life nomads like myself whom are not into complicated DIY custom built setups and just want the convenience and robust nature of a simple all in one power station with built in I/O ports that the Jackery Explorer 300 offers. This solution is for the “grab and go” lifestyle and requires no thought or setup whatsoever as the Jackery Explorer 300 is dummy-proof in regards to deployment and using out in the field or in your vehicle.

Jackery is based out of California, USA and has an award winning customer support staff on their team to answer any questions or provide you with any product support you may need. All of my interactions with Jackery customer service has been nothing but positive since day one as I am a longtime customer of theirs since 2019, purchasing and owning of their Explorer 500 power station and as well as their Solar Saga 60 solar panel. In fact, I own two of their Explorer 500 power stations, but that’s neither here nor there.

Final thoughts:

Despite the few shortcomings of the unit that could be addressed by Jackery in future revisions of their power stations, the advantages this lightweight and compact power station offers make it completely a worthwhile investment and I am quite happy with my purchase! I plan to use the Explorer 300 in my 2017 Ram ProMaster City camper van on a daily basis in conjunction with my Jackery Explorer 500 and my Jackery Solar Saga 60 solar panel. I hope to purchase a Jackery Solar Saga 100 solar panel one of these days to perform additional testing with the Explorer 300. I rate the Jackery Explorer 300 a 4.5 / 5 Stars (9/10) rating here on Amazon and I highly recommend purchase of this product should you find yourself wanting or needing off-grid power for whatever reasons you may have. You will not be disappointed. Jackery will guarantee it.
