Indeed, it’s 14% smaller and 12% lighter than the Explorer 100 Plus, making it Jackery's smallest portable power station yet.</p><p>So, while it will certainly add some weight to your bag, it's small enough to carry around in a backpack, so you can keep your devices powered when out and about or on trips. It’s designed to comply with lithium battery transport standards, too, so you can take it on planes and trains, and even though it’s palm-sized, it also includes a built-in handle and supports an optional shoulder strap.</p><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check="" ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1858px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.24%;"><img id="doEbFsPWwJzzZv5ycb24jG" name="Jackery Explorer 100D press2" alt="The Jackery Explorer 100D" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/doEbFsPWwJzzZv5ycb24jG-1920-80.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1858" height="1045" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline" /></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Jackery)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="an-lfp-battery-with-solar-support">An LFP battery with solar support</h2><p>The Jackery Explorer 100D also uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery rather than the more common lithium-ion ones, meaning it’s theoretically both safer and longer-lasting, with Jackery claiming it has an up to 8-year lifespan and will retain at least 80% of its capacity across 3,000 charging cycles.</p><p>It has two 140W USB-C ports and an 18W USB-A port, so you can charge, for example, a laptop, phone, and tablet all at once. That said, it tops out at 158W of combined charging power, so you can’t use all of those ports at full power simultaneously.</p><p>When you need to charge the 100D itself, you can of course plug it in to any outlet, but it also supports up to 100W of direct solar input, making it suited to an off-grid setup.</p><p>So there’s a lot to like here, and while this isn’t the cheapest 30,000mAh power station, it’s reasonably affordable too, coming in at $99 / €99 (roughly £75 / AU$140). It’s not currently available in the UK or Australia, but Jackery does have a presence in both regions, so that might change.</p><div data-widget-type="multimodelreview" data-widget-title="Today's best portable power station deals" data-model-name="EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus,Bluetti Elite 30 V2,Anker Solix F3800 Portable Power Station,Jackery Explorer 1000 v2,Bluetti AC180T,Jackery Explorer 240D"></div> </article> ]]>
