Portable power stations are about more than just running a mini fridge around the campfire. They can be vital to keeping the lights on if you live in an area with unreliable electricity infrastructure. But they can sometimes be priced out of reach of most people, which is a problem. That's why we like to share power station deals whenever they crop up, just like this discount of $550 off the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2.
You'll pay just $949 without entering any codes or clipping any coupons. This is a limited time deal, though, which means you could miss out if you don't place your order soon.

The Explorer 2000 v2 is a portable power station similar to the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus, one of our favorites. It's a smaller, lighter version with the same 2,042.8Wh capacity, but the 2000 v2 can't be expanded, unlike its bigger cousin. The device sports a 4,400-watt peak power output (compared to 6,000 watts for the 2000 Plus) and you'll get a handy foldable carry handle for easier transportation.
As far as ports are concerned, you can rely on three AC outlets, as well as multiple USB-C ports. There's a handy USB-A port for those older devices, too. You can even manage the whole thing remotely using a phone app.
