Jackery has a utility vibe on their designs, but the two 1024Wh ones I bought during those end of year sales, seem well made. They have certainly given me less trouble than the UGreen ones.
I had gotten one of these Jackery Explorers as a free bonus item with one of my orders, but I returned it for credit ($77) so I did not get a chance to check it out.
I like the new color. Always passed up on the Jackery in favor of Ecoflow and Anker because I didn't like their black and orange scheme (looks too Halloween'ish).
Can someone explain to me why this is a good deal? 99 Wh for $90? $0.91 per Wh, and doesn't even have an inverter.
Its not really, other then having high usb c output maybe. I bought 2 20kmah for $20 each that i use for flying. Defiantly a premium here, i like the new color though.

While neat, I don't have a use for this size.
It's not my experience. Mine lasted a month, and after that, I couldn't use it in DC mode.
For a slickdeal has to be around $40. It even looks expensive for me, long time ago I got Golabs 256 Watts for $100 and it does have an inverter, it's been 3 years since I got it, still working like a champ

LFP packs are more expensive and larger, but last 4-10x longer.
LFP also handles abuse better. Operating at 1-25% regularly is actually where you get the most longevity. Running 1-75% easily could get thousands of charge cycles.
This is for people that want to run portable power constantly and will use it for years. Or for backup power you just leave hold charged at 50-75% and top off once a year. Easily could last 10-25 years.
That said LFP is going to get dirt cheap soon. I would only buy with specific uses in mind today.
Houny has the same design with jump starting. Hard to get today, but standard issue in my cars now.

not true. Lithium based chemistries like 40-60% SoC. Very hard with LFP and its near flat discharge curve. LFP is also very inefficient with charging and discharging outside of its ideal operating temperature

Study conclusively confirmed LFP is dramatically different than traditional Lithium Ion/Polymer chemistry.
The least wear occurred on LFP / LiFePO4 batteries when they were cycled at 1-25% SoC.
What I posted came from that Tesla-funded study.
You are correct that you have difficulty *measuring* SoC in the 25-75% range. But that does not translate to aging/wear.
Bottom line: You totally can keep an LFP held at 40/60/80 percent charge. It will still greatly outpace traditonal Li-ion in longevity. But don't run it down to absolute zero, and don't fully charge it except rarely to recalibrate the SoC monitor. (Tesla recommends weekly, Ford monthly - but this is out of necessity as EVs making even slight range miscalculation often leads to a bad outcome).
The only feature that this has over a much smaller 100Wh phone charger that fits in your pocket is the solar charge controller. So cool if you plan on plugging in a solar panel every once and a while. If not, there are tons of smaller phone chargers that make more sense, although without lifepo4 batteries.

Exactly. Even at this price it's not a great deal unless you're buying it for its tiny cuteness factor.

That's like telling someone that's telling their camper trailer that they're getting worse fuel mileage. Of course an inverter has overhead but you only turn it on when you want to use it.
