[Portable Power Station] Amazing palm-sized design! Jackery's new model is useful for daily charging

Carry a portable power station on trips and business travel!? At first, the author was surprised, but after seeing the size and specs, it makes sense. As expected of Jackeryy (Jackery), so that’s the next move!

Traveling for work or a family trip, this one unit covers it all

When working at a café or on the Shinkansen during a business trip, it’s hard not to feel nervous watching your laptop battery percentage. If you have a power source that can charge not only your smartphone but also your PC, working on the go becomes much more reassuring.

The Jackery “Explorer 100D” looks like a reliable option for such situations. This compact portable power station fits in the palm of your hand and offers a total output of up to 158W. Compared with the previous model, the “Explorer 100 Plus,” it is about 110g lighter, bringing the weight down to about 855g. It also now includes a handle, making it easier to take in and out of a bag and carry around.

Fast-charges both PC and smartphone at the same time

What stands out is its maximum 140W output when using the USB-C port alone. It supports USB Power Delivery (PD), so it can supply power even to laptops capable of high-wattage charging.

It comes with three ports in total—two USB-C ports and one USB-A port—and can deliver a maximum combined output of 158W when all three are used at the same time (70W + 70W + 18W = 158W). Since you can charge your smartphone or tablet while working on your PC, it should come in handy even at a hotel on a business trip.

For family trips, it’s also useful for charging a child’s game console and smartphone together. Note that when all three ports are used simultaneously, each USB-C port can output up to 70W. The unit itself supports up to 140W input for charging and can be fully recharged in about two hours. It can also be charged using a separately sold solar panel or a car cigarette lighter socket.

Supports about 3,000 charge/discharge cycles

The battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells, which offer excellent thermal stability. It is designed for a long lifespan, retaining over 80% of its initial capacity even after about 3,000 charge/discharge cycles. In addition to improved durability compared with the previous model’s roughly 2,000 cycles, it also includes six battery protection features. It is designed with fire resistance and shock resistance in mind, and comes with a two-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Its capacity is 96Wh, which is below the 100Wh limit for airline carry-on standards. That means you can take it with you on business trips or vacations by plane. However, it cannot be used onboard or stored in the overhead compartment, so be sure to check your airline’s rules.

A compact power source you’ll want to carry for both work and leisure

The Explorer 100D is useful not only for charging on the go, but also as a disaster-preparedness item for keeping your smartphone powered during outages. It’s a practical device that can cover everyday use, emergency preparedness, and camping.

Note that it does not include an AC outlet, so it is a power source for USB-charging devices. If you’re looking for a compact power source you can carry to both work and on your days off, why not take a look?
