It’s never a bad time to invest in a source of backup power. That being said, it is peak hurricane season and the best time of year for camping, making it a particularly good time. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars, either. This Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 portable power station gets the job done without breaking the bank — and it’s on sale for nearly half price.

As of Sept. 23, you can grab the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 portable power station for only $429 instead of $799 at Amazon. That’s 46% in savings and only $30 shy of its best price ever. Plus, if you add it to your cart alongside this refurbished SolarSaga 100 solar panel, you’ll get the solar panel for free. If you add both to your shopping cart, you should see the savings reflect at checkout. However, if it doesn’t show up properly, head over to this promotional page and follow the directions at the top. The offer is available only while supplies last.

The Explorer 1000 V2 packs a 1,500W AC output and a 3,000W surge peak, meaning it’s capable of powering multiple appliances, including AC units, fridges, and coffee makers — not to mention your phone and laptop. It has two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, one DC car port, three pure sine wave AC ports, and LED lights on board, with a 1,070Wh capacity. It powers up in about 1.7 hours by default, but it can go from zero to 100 in an hour flat if you activate emergency charging mode in the companion app.

Best of all, it weighs less than 25 pounds and has a built-in handle, making it easy to tote around. Bring it along on camping trips and tailgates to keep everything running smoothly or pull it out if you run into power outages at home this season. It’s the best of both worlds. And paired with the free solar panel, you’ll truly never be out of power.
