Jackery Portable Power Station
Jackery Explorer 300 v2 Portable Power Station | 288Wh, 300W
Explorer 300 v2 stores 288Wh and provides 300W continuous 120V AC output, with a 600W brief surge rating. At about 8.2 lb, it is suited to small plug-in devices and portable charging when their combined load fits its limits.
The facts that matter
- Two AC outlets share one 300W total output limit. The 600W figure applies only to brief startup surges.
- A 100W USB-C port can also accept charging input; a second USB-C port is rated up to 15W.
- The DC8020 solar input accepts 16–28V and up to 100W. Compare panel voltage before connecting it.
- Jackery rates the LiFePO4 battery for 4,000 cycles to at least 70% capacity.
Where this model fits
A compact option for laptops, lights, small electronics, and carefully checked low-wattage AC loads. Larger heaters, cooking appliances, and high-startup motors need a different output class.
Check before buying
Measure running and startup watts before use. Jackery lists the Explorer 300 v2, AC charging cable, user manual, and solar panel connection guide in the box. Solar panels are separate.

Plan your power needs
Use our backup power sizing guide to estimate capacity and output for your loads. The solar generator charging guide explains why a solar charge estimate depends on more than panel wattage.
Explorer 300 v2 station: choose the right ports and charging setup
What this package actually powers
The two household AC outlets share 300W continuous output. A 600W surge rating covers brief starting demand; it does not make this a 600W continuous station. USB-C1 supports up to 100W input/output, USB-C2 provides up to 15W, and the 12V socket is rated 10A / 120W. Choose by the device’s connector, voltage and running watts, not the number of sockets.
Small-load runtime and overnight use
At a steady 30W load, 288Wh ÷ 30W gives a loss-free ceiling of 9.6 hours. Real runtime is lower after conversion losses, standby consumption, reserve and temperature. Check the device’s measured average draw; heating elements and high-startup motors usually need a larger output class.
The physical Energy Saving switch matters for overnight use: when enabled, loads at or below 25W AC or 2W USB/12V can shut off after six hours. Turn the switch off when a small device needs continuous power; keep the required output enabled.
Wall charging and UPS limits
The supplied AC cable connects to a 100–120V wall outlet. Jackery’s US support lists approximately 1.5 hours for AC charging under its test conditions. A compatible USB-C PD charger can also charge through USB-C1 at up to 100W; USB-C2 is output-only. The USB-C wall charger is not included.
Jackery’s retail page and US support advertise 10ms transfer, while the linked JE-300C manual states within 20ms. Neither means zero interruption. Use the more conservative 20ms figure when checking device tolerance, and test the intended load before relying on backup operation. AC bypass remains limited to 300W total.
One solar input, matched to the exact panel
The DC8020 input accepts 16–28V operating voltage, up to 6A and 100W. Jackery’s US support specifies one panel maximum. Do not wire multiple panels in series to this compact station. AC wall and solar charging can operate together. A car charging lead is a separate purchase; 24V vehicle charging is not supported.
Solar panels are sold separately on this listing. Choose Explorer 300 v2 + SolarSaga 40 Air if you want the listed 40 Air panel and its accessories included.
Box contents and warranty
1 × Explorer 300 v2, 1 × AC charging cable and user manual. The station has a three-year standard manufacturer warranty, with a two-year extension subject to Jackery registration and eligibility. Battery expansion and app control are not supported.
