Amazon Drops Its First Major Black Friday Deal on a Power Station, Now Selling for Pennies at 1500W Output - Kotaku

"Jackery's Explorer 1000 portable power station solves both problems by delivering 1,500W of clean and quiet power that runs refrigerators, charges laptops and keeps essential devices operational wherever you need electricity. Amazon has slashed the price to $349 from the usual $699 for Black Friday, which marks an all-time low that undercuts even Prime Day pricing. This 50% discount makes backup power accessible at a price point where you'd normally find much smaller capacity units with limited output capabilities."

"The 1,500W of continuous AC output tackles demanding appliances that smaller power stations can't touch: air conditioners, full-size refrigerators, electric kettles, and power tools. The 3,000W surge peak covers the inrush of power at startup for appliances with motors, which generally requires two to three times the running wattage for a brief moment. That surge capacity means you can cold-start a refrigerator or air conditioner without tripping the protection circuits on the power station-a problem that frequently occurs with underpowered portable generators."

"The battery capacity, 1,070Wh, translates to approximately 1.07 kilowatt-hours of stored energy-sufficient to keep an average refrigerator running for about 12 to 15 hours, charge a laptop eight to ten times, or run LED lights for days. This capacity sits in the sweet spot between smaller units that drain too quickly and larger systems that become impractical to move around. At just 23.8 pounds with a foldable handle, the power station remains genuinely portable rather than being a stationary unit that requires two people to relocate."

Power outages and camping can leave people without electricity or force them to use noisy generators. The Jackery Explorer 1000 provides 1,500W of continuous AC output and 3,000W surge capacity to run appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, kettles, and power tools. The 1,070Wh battery supplies about 12–15 hours for an average refrigerator, eight to ten laptop charges, or days of LED lighting. The unit weighs 23.8 pounds and includes a foldable handle for portability. The model uses LiFePO4 battery chemistry instead of conventional lithium-ion.
