JACKERY Explorer 1500 Ultra Portable Power Station

And in this class, this is generally quite portable. Not a carry it up the mountain for fun portable, but absolutely grab it, move it, load in the truck, deploy it portable.

the port mix is, well, it's handy if you lean on AC charging gear. It's a bit stingy on the USB-C side.

It has features like charging schedules and charge limits, but it's not deeply customizable

You can go ahead and remove the bottom to clean the fans out a little bit and it actually works.

you can run most appliances in your home with a power station like this, and it will last a decent amount of time.

It's rated for 4,000 plus charge cycles to 70% capacity, meaning over 10 years of use under normal conditions. That's serious longevity.

So, basically what they're saying is, yeah, it'll do a lot more than 4,000 cycles, but it'll get down to probably 70% battery degradation by the time you've done 4,000 cycles

So, whether you're on the job site or at the campsite, you'll be pretty stoked with this.

if you had a blackout, it's great for backup power, but it's also a great way to keep a computer running, a network, or a security system

I do like that there's more USBCs than USBAs just because everything's pretty much going to USBC now.

So, whether you want to go and charge batteries, put a kettle, use a toaster on, and you can use many different types in here as well. We've also got a television you can power, but it really is fantastic

The Explorer 1500 Ultra is 17.5 kilos. So, no, it's not a little backpack battery

And long-term, this thing's built to last.

Another reason why I'm a big fan of this unit is because it's so incredibly portable.
