As of Oct. 27, you can get the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 portable power station bundle on sale for $449, down from $899.99, at Amazon. That's a 50% discount and a $450.99 price cut.

The Explorer 1000 v2 is the updated version of the Explorer 1000. It uses a longer-lasting LiFePO4 battery (Jackery claims up to 10 years or 4,000 charge cycles) and charges way faster than the original — it can go from empty to full in just an hour if you use the app's emergency charge setting. It's got plenty of power (1070Wh capacity, 1500W output) to run essentials like a mini-fridge or heater, plus charge laptops via its 100W USB-C port.

While the power station comes with its own AC charging cable, having this extra multi-port charger (the 3-Port 102W Fast Charger) is super handy for juicing up your other devices (like phones, tablets, or laptops that support USB-C charging).
