Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station - $479 (over 50% off with a Prime membership)

$479 at Amazon

Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station key specs:

  • 1002Wh capacity: "Power 90% home appliances with 1002Wh (1000W AC output power)"
  • Lightweight: Weighs just 22 lbs
  • 8 output ports: 3 AC outlets, 1 USB-A, 1 USB 3.0, 2 USB-C PD, 1 car outlet
  • Includes: AC adapter, car charging cable, and a SolarSaga parallel adapter cable
  • 2-year warranty: Jackery provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty

This power station should power "90% of home appliances with 1002Wh (1000W AC output power)." If you're wondering whether or not the pack can power a specific appliance in your home, just keep in mind that "the Explorer 1000 can charge/power devices that operate at less than 1000 watts. It's important to note that the total wattage of all connected devices should also be under 1000 watts. If the power requirement exceeds this limit, the Explorer 1000 will automatically shut off." 

It features 8 output ports that include 3 AC outlets, a USB-A port, a USB 3 port, 2 USB-C outlets and 1 car outlet. You'll get a full charge in just about 5.5 hours via a wall outlet and total usage time will, naturally, depend on what you're powering with the device, but Jackery provides a great way to at least ballpark it. "You can calculate the working time using the formula: Working time = 1002Wh*0.85/operating power of your device. For example, if the power consumption of your device is 60W, the estimated working time would be approximately 14.2hrs."
