Jackery Explorer 290 Portable Power Station 290Wh

The Jackery Explorer 290 is a compact 290Wh portable power station with a 200W continuous / 400W peak AC inverter, delivering clean pure sine wave power suitable for small appliances, CPAP machines, and sensitive electronics. It features 5 total ports: one AC outlet, two USB-A ports (5V/2.4A), and a 12V DC carport. The unit carries an NMC lithium-ion battery with an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) for over-voltage and short-circuit protection.

Recharge options include wall outlet (~5.5 hours to full), 12V car port (~6.5 hours), or optional Jackery SolarSaga 100W solar panels (~5 hours). An informative LCD display shows real-time battery level, input/output wattage, and temperature alarms (14°F–104°F operating range).

Weighing 7.5 lbs with compact dimensions (9.1" × 7.7" × 5.2"), the Explorer 290 is ideal for camping trips, travel, emergency backup, and off-grid adventures where portability and quiet operation matter more than extended runtime. It is not suitable for high-draw appliances (e.g., air conditioners, large heaters) or multi-day off-grid stays without solar input.
