    My husband used it on a hunting trip in an off grid cabin. Used it to power cell phones and tv. Worked great! Got it on sale! Perfect!

    Legacy Product- missing USB C and Rapid Charging

    Its important to know what you are getting here. This Jackery is old by most standards. Lithium Ion rather than than the newer chemistry, slow charging and no USB C port. That said it comes in at a good price point and includes an AC and car charging cable. And its a Jackery so well made. So it comes down to need. If this meets your needs OK but know what you are getting for the discounted price.

    I used the power station to power my portable fridge and charge my devices and after 10hours the the battery indicator was only at 55%. That’s all I needed from the product and more than I expected.

    I tested it against Jackery Explorer 240 and can confirm that this one lasts a lot longer. 50W electric blanket lasted 9.5 hours compared to 6 hours on 240.

    I bought this 2 years ago worked fine like its supposed to with no complaints. I used it regularly. I didnt use it for about 4 months, and when I tried to hook it up it errors out. Now it doesnt charge anymore. If you can get a 2 yr warranty with it I would do so.
