11/5/2023 0 Comments Portable power station reviewPerformance Charging via the included AC adapter You can use all outputs simultaneously as long as their combined output is 200W or less. You can use all outputs at the same time – up to the 200W maximum output The back of the charger is plain, and the charger sits on 4 orange rubber feet. ![]() There are vents around both sides with a cooling fan on one side that comes on as needed. The inputs have buttons to turn them on and off, and the display has a backlight button which also displays battery remaining when nothing is connected. ![]() You could use a power strip to get around this which I’ll come back to. And depending on their orientation oversized plugs can block the car charging portĪnd depending on the orientation of these plugs, they might also preclude the use of the car charging port at the same time. With oversized plugs like my MacBook Pro and GoPro chargers, you’ll usually have no choice. Position of outlet too low for most UK plugs, especially oversize ones This plug socket is a little far down for UK plugs and even with standard plugs you might have to lay the charger on its back. This AC socket has a pure sine wave output which means it can be used for even more sensitive electronics. This UK model has the 3 pin UK plug, but there’s also a 110V US version without a rubber flap over the car charging port. Pure sine wave output – suitable for more sensitive electronics If you don’t have much use for the car charging port I’d consider leaving a USB Power Delivery or Qualcomm Quick Charger permanently installed, depending on what your devices need. Adding Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 capability with an adapterĪnd the USB-A ports don’t support fast charging either with no support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0. No USB-C ports – but could use an adapterĭisappointingly there’s no fast USB Type-C Power Delivery ports for charging laptops, GoPros, drones and an ever increasing number of power hungry devices. The AC socket supports up to 200W continuous output with a 400W surge peak. Or you could run a typical 42” TV for 2.5 hours, or a 60W mini fridge for just under 20 hours.Ĭlockwise from the top left the front of the charger has an LCD display, a 12V, 10A car charging port with a rubber flap, a 230V AC socket, 2 x 5V, 2.4A USB-A charging ports and the DC input. That’s enough to charge an iPhone 12 around 25 times, a Mavic Mini 2 around 14 times or a MacBook Air just under 5 times. It does contain a 14.4V 16.8Ah or 241.9Wh battery – hence the name. But this isn’t something you’re going to slip into your bag, weighing just over 3kg and measuring 23cm by 14cm and 20cm tall. It’s an attractive design as far as portable chargers go, with a combination dark grey and orange finish and a convenient carry handle at the top. The charger is well built from what feels like a tough plastic, but is not waterproof. Unfortunately there’s no case for the charger itself which might have been a nice inclusion at this price. Inside the box you get the charger itself and an AC adapter and car charger that come in a non-branded padded zipped case. ![]() I’ll discuss all its features before testing exactly what it’s capable of and whether it’s worth its fairly substantial asking price. The Jackery Explorer 240 is a portable charger for all your tech, with a whopping 240Wh battery and an AC outlet that you can plug in anything from your laptop charger to a 42” TV – I even tried running an Xbox Series X console.
