The Jackery Explorer 240D, an 80,000mAh (256Wh) portable power bank, has dropped below $100 for the first time, currently available for $95.07 with free shipping from Jackery's official AliExpress store. This deal requires applying the coupon code IFPT04BD. For comparison, the same unit retails for $209 on Amazon.
While not small enough for daily pocket carrying or airline carry-on limits, the Explorer 240D weighs under five pounds, making it lighter than many dedicated power stations. Its substantial capacity allows for multiple recharges of laptops and mobile devices, positioning it as a compact solution for power outages, road trips, or backpacking excursions where larger power stations would be impractical.
The power bank utilizes LiFePO4 cells, known for their safer chemistry, extended lifespan, and slower aging compared to the lithium-ion cells common in many power banks. It features four output ports: three USB Type-C ports capable of 140W, 100W, and 15W respectively, and one 15W USB Type-A port.
Recharging can be done via AC adapter or through solar power using the DC input. The unit can reach 80% charge in approximately one hour. A 140W USB-C cable is included with the power station. Jackery is a recognized brand, and this particular line of power stations holds an average of 4.6 stars across over 11,000 reviews on Amazon. The Explorer 240D comes with a three-year warranty, which can be extended to five years upon product registration. It is expected to have a lifespan exceeding the warranty period.
