I know you are looking at the Jackery Explorer 160 and trying to figure out if it’s a good investment or not…trust me, it is. It works, it does what it does well and after doing a lot of research, buying a good bit of equipment and even trying to build one of these things myself, Jackery is truly the master at what they do.
I looked at the competition and no one comes close.
Jackery has created a very small and compact device that essentially allows you to have a portable rechargeable electrical outlet, wherever you need it.
The Jackery Explorer 160 is amazing. It’s very light, uses 18650 batteries as the power supply, has a stable inverter supplying clean electrical power for your sensitive devices, it has two USB ports to power your phone, tablet, iPads, iPhones, etc. as well as a USB C port. It has a connection for a 12 volt cigarette lighter outlet and even a flashlight!
The whole thing is small, lightweight, well built, has an integrated display and you can selectively turn on whatever you need or don’t. You can see how much is being used if something is plugged in, you can see how much is going into the unit if you’re charging it and you quickly can figure out how much power you’re using and how long you have left.
Charging it is a breeze as it recharges quickly (faster than I thought) and it can be charged from the wall, the car or a solar panel.
What’s not to like!
Trust me, I tried to build something like this while in grad school…it didn’t come close.
What they’ve done is amazing. You can find inverters that supposedly supply clean power, but many that I’ve tested had inadequate (unsafe) output, and figuring out how to supply the system without having all sorts of adapters, wiring and chargers is a challenge.
You can trust the Jackery 160 and their other product line to provide safe and reliable power for your devices.
I believe so strongly in their equipment that I now have two Jackery Explorer 160’s, a Jackery Explorer 240 a Jackery PowerBar and a Jackery SolarSaga 60 solar panel. I teach online and constantly need computer equipment going. Our family of six lives along the coast and we’re no stranger to hurricanes, power outages and dealing with trying to keep our equipment charged. Often when we travel, we have numerous iPhones, iPads, notebooks, etc. with us. The Jackery 160 is our first line of defense in powering these things, especially when we don’t have a wall outlet readily available.
In saying all of the above, buy it…it’s really worth it, it’s well built and should give you very good service for years. One last thing, Jackery stands behind their equipment and if you email them about anything dealing with their products, you’ll get a very good and comprehensive answer in less than 24 hours.
You don’t need to keep looking…this is the one to buy.
