    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2024
    Style Name: E300 PlusVerified Purchase
    This came very well packaged. It is fairly straightforward and self explanatory to use. The supplied mains charging lead is high quality. I charged it to 100% and used it to run my Topping DAC to listen to music for 2 hours, then left it on standby for 12 hours, then another hour of listening to music, and the powerbank is still reading 100%. By comparison the smaller 28,000 mah powerbank I use would be at around 82-84% It seems well made, a good quality carrying handle and has very useful LED light. I haven't tried the app as everything I want to do can be done directly from the unit itself.

    More than happy with this Jackery 300 plus, bought it to power my CPAP machine while camping and having it plugged in all night with the humidifier attachment, I gave it a full charge before I went and only used just over 50% of the power stored.

    After using the Jackery Explorer 300 daily for four days in the forest, I’ve concluded that it is an IMPRESSIVE UPGRADE over my smaller Jackery Explorer 240.

    UPDATES:
    9-17-2020
    1). From 99%, it took only 10 to 15 minutes more to get to 100% when plugged into the 12V DC outlet of my vehicle & the Explorer 1000. More efficient charging than through my gas generator’s AC outlet. Pleasant surprise!

    The GREATS
    1). Faster 12V DC Charging
    Immediately after picking it up from the post office, I took it out of the box & plugged it into my vehicle’s 12V DC outlet & charged it during my 4 to 5 hour trip back up the mountains where I’ve been staying since the pandemic. It was at 37% charge capacity when it started charging. After approximately 3 hours and an input of steady 80 watt, it was at 99% charge already(to my pleasant surprise). This is a huge improvement to the Explorer 240 because it would take about 5 hours to get recharged the same capacity. In addition, this is very important to me since I don’t have my solar panel yet and I do a lot of driving exploring a huge forest.

    2). Improved 12V DC Cable
    This was my initial BIG complaint when I got my first Jackery, the Explorer 1000. I didn’t get one in my box. Even worse, when I borrowed my friend’s 12V DC cable charger (cause it took a while to get one from Jackery), the PLASTIC TIP that inserts into my vehicle’s 12V DC outlet melted (see photo) after charging the Explorer 1000 through the same 4 to 5 hour trip back up the mountains. I did not experience this problem with the Explorer 300. Although the cable seem the same, the plastic tip DID NOT MELT this time. Imagine my relief.

    3). 293WH Seemed More Efficient
    As soon as we got back to our campsite, I immediately unplugged my 70qt car fridge/freezer from the Explorer 1000 & plugged it into the Explorer 300’s 12V DC outlet. I left the Explorer 300 with 99% charge while the fridge was set at 20°F on eco mode (as always). When I checked it in the morning, it was at 50% charge after 9 hours overnight. Usually, the Explorer 240 would be down to 40% or 30% charge and the Explorer 1000 would be down to 60% charge from 100% at the same settings. However, I also have to mention that the first night that I got and used the Explorer 300 was also the first night that the temperature was very cold at 24°F. It most likely helped run the fridge’s compressor less frequent which meant less power demand. I’d know for sure next summer and I’ll give an update here.

    4). Recharges My USB Devices Pretty Fast
    Although I don’t have a definitive and scientific measurement of how long it takes to recharge my devices: cell phone, tablets and Jackery power banks, I know for sure that the recharge time is appreciatively faster than when I’m using the Explorer 240 to do the same task. Ergo more productivity.

    5). Consistent Charging With a Gas Operated Generator
    The input was a steady 77 watt from a 120 volt AC outlet of my generator which I prefer to the fluctuating input of 162w to 167w into the Explorer 1000. It’s really no big deal, but I just like it better steady.

    6). Plenty of Safety Features
    a). Like the other Explorers, the Explorer 300 also shuts down after 12 hours if a plugged device(s) drawing under 10 watts of power. This happened to me when I plugged my 12V electric fan into the 12V DC outlet drawing only 7 watts of energy. According to Jackery, this is to prevent damage to the lithium ion battery used in the unit. In turn, this feature also helps the unit last longer.
    b). Like the Explorer 240, the Explorer 300 does not power or run my 12v DC tire inflator/compressor at high state of charge. During my test, the Explorer 300 was at 86% charge capacity. Even after three times of attempt to power my tire inflator, I had no luck. However, I was able to run the inflator when the Explorer 300 was down to 45% charge. Again, according to Jackery, this is a safety feature.
    c). Unlike the Explorer 240 that doesn’t have one, the Explorer 300’s 12v outlet’s rubber cover certainly prevents foreign objects from being inserted. Thus, avoiding electrical accidents or fire.
    d). The unit’s design is very safe for children & pets. There are no moving parts or handle that folds down to trap any body part. Moreover, there’s really no paint to chip and swallow. The paint seems to be baked in. There’s also no sharp corners!

    The SHORTS
    1). Takes a Long Time to Charge to 100%
    Although it’s quick to get to 99%, it took almost an hour to get the last 1% of charge via the 120v AC outlet of my gas operated generator because the input goes down (see photos) as the charge goes up. Bummer!
    2). Won’t Run My 12V Tire Inflator at High Charge Capacity
    It just doesn’t make sense to an electrically challenged person like me why I can’t power my inflator while the charge capacity of the Explorer 300 is above 50%. This means that if I had a flat tire or I need to inflate my air mattress & rubber boat (at the lake, away from my vehicle’s 12V DC outlet) I have to deplete the charge capacity to 50% or less first from a full charge or never fully charge it.

    In the end, the Explorer 300 embodies the same high quality that is a signature of Jackery. Kudos to the Jackery team for producing another top shelf unit that is of great value. I highly recommend this product to everyone. This is especially helpful during this present time of uncertainty.

    Hope this helps.

    Although I don’t have a definitive and scientific measurement of how long it takes to recharge my devices: cell phone, tablets and Jackery power banks, I know for sure that the recharge time is appreciatively faster than when I’m using the Explorer 240 to do the same task. Ergo more productivity.

    5). Consistent Charging With a Gas Operated Generator
    The input was a steady 77 watt from a 120 volt AC outlet of my generator which I prefer to the fluctuating input of 162w to 167w into the Explorer 1000. It’s really no big deal, but I just like it better steady.

    6). Plenty of Safety Features
    a). Like the other Explorers, the Explorer 300 also shuts down after 12 hours if a plugged device(s) drawing under 10 watts of power. This happened to me when I plugged my 12V electric fan into the 12V DC outlet drawing only 7 watts of energy. According to Jackery, this is to prevent damage to the lithium ion battery used in the unit. In turn, this feature also helps the unit last longer.
    b). Like the Explorer 240, the Explorer 300 does not power or run my 12v DC tire inflator/compressor at high state of charge. During my test, the Explorer 300 was at 86% charge capacity. Even after three times of attempt to power my tire inflator, I had no luck. However, I was able to run the inflator when the Explorer 300 was down to 45% charge. Again, according to Jackery, this is a safety feature.
    c). Unlike the Explorer 240 that doesn’t have one, the Explorer 300’s 12v outlet’s rubber cover certainly prevents foreign objects from being inserted. Thus, avoiding electrical accidents or fire.
    d). The unit’s design is very safe for children & pets. There are no moving parts or handle that folds down to trap any body part. Moreover, there’s really no paint to chip and swallow. The paint seems to be baked in. There’s also no sharp corners!

    The SHORTS
    1). Takes a Long Time to Charge to 100%
    Although it’s quick to get to 99%, it took almost an hour to get the last 1% of charge via the 120v AC outlet of my gas operated generator because the input goes down (see photos) as the charge goes up. Bummer!
    2). Won’t Run My 12V Tire Inflator at High Charge Capacity
    It just doesn’t make sense to an electrically challenged person like me why I can’t power my inflator while the charge capacity of the Explorer 300 is above 50%. This means that if I had a flat tire or I need to inflate my air mattress & rubber boat (at the lake, away from my vehicle’s 12V DC outlet) I have to deplete the charge capacity to 50% or less first from a full charge or never fully charge it.

    In the end, the Explorer 300 embodies the same high quality that is a signature of Jackery. Kudos to the Jackery team for producing another top shelf unit that is of great value. I highly recommend this product to everyone. This is especially helpful during this present time of uncertainty.

    Hope this helps.

    This thing is awesome. I’m tired of messing around with 20,000 mA battery packs. They always charge so slowly and I’m always running around plugging them in to keep them full (as any battery is useless when it’s drained).

    Not only does this thing have so much battery capacity in it, it charges so fast from the included wall charger. Got a USB-C charger for a laptop? Plug it in, double it up with the wall charger and charge ever faster.

    Rapid charging that fast is hard on any battery so I only use this feature if I really needed it quickly. Otherwise I just trickle charge it overnight from a regular USB phone cord.

    I have two 40 watt solar panels that I have with a cigarette lighter port at one end so I can charge it up solar. The 12 V charger adaptor comes with this thing. It charges decently fast with solar.

    The inverter is a little bit on the small side but it’ll power most regular things. If you’re thinking about this for an emergency, it’s not going to power a kettle for a fridge or toaster for that matter. It’ll power a CPAP machine and I found it powers a tiny personal slow cooker that I have.

    To sum it up, I wholly recommend this thing. If your energy requirements are at a minimum and, you’re using this for recreation and not emergency use, this Jackery will fit the bill. This is a good starter system to get your toes wet in solar power stations.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Portable and super useful for car camping/teardrop camper
    Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2025

    This is a great little portable power bank that is perfect for car camping. It's small and lightweight enough to easy to work with from a minivan or teardrop camper. I also own a Jackery Explorer 500--and I PREFER the 300 most of the time when camping.

    Pros:
    •durable
    •functional for most of what you need when car camping--running lights or fans, charging up phones, drones, cameras or your laptop
    •300W inverter
    •charges in less than ~3 hours from your wall outlet, USB-C, solar panels or car outlet. If you charge it with a USB-C + wall charger, you can charge it in 2 hours
    •has 1 USB-C slot, 2 USB-A slots, 1 12V slot and *2* AC outlets--*can charge 6 things at the same time!*
    •affordable
    •can charge itself AND be used to run things at the same time (flow through charging)
    •quiet
    •love that you can run two large fans off of it for hours due to having two AC outlets!

    Cons:
    •Not powerful enough to run high intensity things like an induction cooktop or a blender
