We may live in the future, but there are still times when electricity isn’t as readily available as you might expect. Whether it’s a power outage at home or a camping trip in the wilderness, having a power bank or power station is a smart idea. The Jackery Explorer 100 Plus portable power station is a favorite here at CNET, thanks to its compact size and versatility, and today is definitely the time to pick one up for yourself. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has slashed the price to match its all-time low of just $89. Just keep in mind that this price isn’t going to hang around forever.
This is a small device that can fit in the palm of your hand. It has three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. The USB-C ports can pump out an impressive 128 watts, meaning you could potentially charge a laptop or fast-charge a phone if you have one that’s compatible. The USB-A port can handle only an 18-watt output, but you can use all three ports to charge devices at a maximum of 128 watts.

As for the 99-watt-hour capacity, that’s roughly 31,000 mAh, or about six full charges of a phone. It’s also just below the maximum battery capacity that you can take with you on a flight without approval, at least in most places, making it an ideal travel charger. And if you tend to camp a lot, you can use Jackery’s SolarSaga solar panel to charge the power station in about 2 hours, which is an impressive and hard-to-find feature for a portable power bank of this size.

Why this deal matters
This power station is back down to its all-time low price of $89. The last time we saw this record low was during last year’s Black Friday sale event. Amazon seems to be the only retailer discounting this power bank right now, and there’s no telling how long this sale will last or when it will come back. For these reasons, we recommend acting soon if you want to pick up this power station at a discount.
