Jackery Explorer 240 v2 Portable Power Station

I’m really pleased with my Jackery Explorer 240 v2. It’s a well-built, quality product that feels sturdy and reliable, and it’s incredibly easy to use, even if you’re new to portable power stations.

I purchased it alongside a solar panel, and after a few minor adjustments, I got the panels charging the power station successfully. It’s great to have the flexibility of solar charging, especially when you want a convenient backup power solution.

The app is another excellent feature. It’s easy to use and provides useful, up-to-date information on charging status, battery levels and power usage, making it simple to keep track of everything.

Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase. The combination of build quality, ease of use, solar compatibility and the excellent app makes this a fantastic little power station. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable portable power solution.

Really happy with my Power station, easy to use. Stores from the sun really quickly, you can see how much is being stored by a quick press of button on the front. Used it mainly so far to charge my phone, I pad and my watch.

The Jackery Explorer 240 v2
Arrived in a few days and was well packaged.
It’s a nice compact size and weights just 3.6 kg.
I’ve used to charge all my devices all week while away with no problems, iPads, iPhones, Smart watches, all done with ease.
The AC, 3 pin outlet is also great as I’ve been using it to power a pedestal fan during the hot weather.
I also used my Jackery SolarSaga 200w Solar Panel to charge it back up on my return home, and it worked really well.
It was taking in 108w while charging in full sun, which is great as its max Solar input is rated at 100w.
It’s a great product, nice size and plenty of power for all your gadgets.

Excellent, only fault id say is the light could do to face down a bit so you can see the buttons in the dark

I grabbed one of these to charge my tech up whilst motorbike camping. It’s just the right size, lasts a very long time and charges my kit up quickly. It’s a bit of kit I won’t leave behind now.

Perfect for a dip into off grid living. The 240 keeps a fan, LED lamps, iPhone and iPad running through the evening. The 40w panel is a little underwhelming though. I have ponied up for the 100w panel since (1st arrived cracked, fingers crossed for good customer service).

I wasn't sure which size Jackery to buy, so I chose the 240 V2 as a supplement for my VW campervan. It has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. It's compact, easy to use, and provides more than enough power for my needs.

It's given me the confidence to explore more off-grid locations, and I'm now considering adding a solar panel so I can stay off-grid for even longer without relying on mains power. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable portable power station for camping or campervan trips.

Powerhouse but Solar is lacking.

The Explorer 240 v2 is a mini beast. I use it for broadcast work and trips across the country and it's been a worthwhile investment. The solar charger however is very finicky and despite being 40W, I've never had it charge faster than 25W under the summer sun. If just 10% of the panels is in shade, you lose 90% of the solar power, it's very finicky and probably wouldn't buy another.

Just love this for car camping as its enough to power the 300w kettle for cooking and the USB plug inside can be increased by using a 12v cigarette socket with more USB 's on it, or for more 100w charging use the 3 pin orange Jackery charger in anger.
I prefer a SolarSaga 100w Panel for charge as you go during the day- leaving it fully charged for the evening/overnight usage., and have backup LiFePO4 leisure battery for emergencies at night. Charged quibk on the car lead but quickest off the mains. I have 2 for camping !

As with my other reviews this is worth having for smaller stuff and I managed to find a small 300w kettle which has 350ml water capacity in a mug shaped container and a 240v plug which uses 10% power each time. SOLARSAGA 40 put out 30 watts in the UK - you can get a Y lead and use two which works well and speeds things up or even the SOLARSAGA 100 which is faster still. I have made a plug in leisure battery of the same capacity which improves runtime and when the unit is charging you can top up the battery from the Cigarette socket to use the mains if you forget your charger 😀!!

I recently purchased the 240 v2 from Amazon during one of their discounted promotional events. Was skeptical at first that the smaller size would offer less in terms of output but since I’ve been using it I have been pleasantly surprised at how much of a punch this packs given its small footprint. It’s lightweight and rugged and I feel confident that this will survive countless camping trips. The only minor negative is the display doesn’t show individual output when multiple devices are drawing power simultaneously. Overall I am pleased with the baby Jackery and based on my experience would consider upgrading to the 1000 in the not too distant future.

We bought this to enable us to tour "Off Grid" in our caravan. This was to use with my ResMed CPAP machine and it's DC adapter. This gave me 30 hours (at least) of use (3-4 nights sleep) before it had to be charged again. We have invested in a seperate Solar Panel from Amazon soley for the purpose of charging this unit. Brilliant. It may seem expensive but, the money we save by not having to pay for EHU (Electric Hook Up) it will pay for itself very quickly.

It's a sunny day so is pulling in 32w at half 9 in the morning and charging well, was given full charge by the plug on arrival to ensure working sufficiently. This is the baby of the jackery family and charging 2 power bricks drained it to 45% quicker than I thought it would but it left me with enough to charge phone and tablet on top, and the power bricks fully charged to use when I'm down on power. I'm thinking I am going to need a bigger version of this for when I go off on my travels but as a back up the explorer 240 does what it says on the tin. You definitely need a solar panel over 100w though tried a smaller mobile one and got nothing in charge. Delivery is by yodel though and that's the only reason Ive given this 4 stars as didn't arrive on time and I had to chase yodel myself to figure out where it was. Jackery itself gets 5 stars.

Great bit of kit. We regularly camp without electric hook up but usually have to rely on charging phones in pubs etc. We can now still go to the pub but don't have hunt around for power sockets.
The Jackory 240 has kept two phones charged plus other devices like torches and watches over a 6 day holiday. Started on 100% and by the end of the week only dropped to 30% with every day use, I think at a push it could do 7 or 8 days before recharging.
Really worth the expense and really handy size, with the option to charge it from the car if you have any daily trips planned.

Super product. Can charge my mobile, run an electric blanket and it powers a lamp all evening. Easy to charge. I bought an additional cable to avoid lots of connections, and used the AllPower solar panels with it. Works well.

I love my Jackery. Love it. I am right at this very moment writing this review at a off grid camping location with my small car and medium sized car extension. The Jackery does exactly what it says it can, on the tin. The more power you use you will need to charge it, but overall power should last easy for 4 nights at minimum. I registered my jackery immediately after it arrived to secure the 3 years cover. It is pricey but packs a far amount of power if you want independence on a campsite or off a campsite then this is the powerstation for you. As the saying goes you get what you pay for.

On a singular note, first charge and discharge goes down fairly quickly but after that smooth running as to be expected with something just sitting in a warehouse.

Only BIG disappointment is their solar panel isn't waterproof and well in England that is quite pathetic. So I won't purchase it as makes no sense with the weather overall we get here. So one star off for not supplying a waterproof solar panel for other climates. Also other compatible versions do exist and take in 34% to 45% power input into the Jackery. So think wisely before purchasing the non waterproof one in the UK. You will need 8mm connector if you buy a none Jackery solar panel.

Bought the 240 with solar panels the other week, knowing we were camping for the weekend with no electrical hook up. Charged it up at home, used it all weekend with no need to plug the solar panels in. Still have a bit of charge left. Amazing product, good value and well built.
Will certainly get a bigger unit when the time comes.

Great bit of kit, good value for money too

Having a mains connector directly on the side for charging makes things a lot easier than having a seperate power supply as we used to have

Haven't explored all of the facilities yet but looking forward to doing so

I am a enthusiastic Radio ham & CB user , I recently bought a JACKERY EXPLORER 240 PORTABLE POWER STATION . I USE IT TO RUN A 2M MOBILE TRANSCEIVER UNIT & a CB Mobile Unit at the same time in my Subrau Forester . It saves me from running the engine to power these devices therefore saving me the cost of fuel & extra & wear & tear . The JACKERY 240 is so good that this task i only will only need to charge once a month . I have not used it yet to power to charge a laptop . It is so robust & easy to use . I am more than happy to recommed it ,s use to any one

Absolutely brilliant. Perfect for our French road trip. Charging off the car between campsites and keeping us powered during the stay. Would absolutely recommend
