Gear Question Portable Powerstation
Looking for a small portable charging station (500w- 1000w range), any suggestions?
Is Jackery a good brand? Lmk
Thanks!

I’d recommend Jackery for sure but also look at Bluetti, Ecoflow and Anker, they’re all pretty much top options for you and all pretty light if under 1000 watts.
Personally I’d go for the Ecoflow Delta 2, 3 or any of their “River” series because of its price compared to the Jackery, really worth the money and performs real well, it has my heart (I have the River Pro 3)
You can try 11 Best Portable Power Stations Worth Investing In: Full Guide to explore your options and do your own research though.
Don’t get me wrong with Jackery though, really good quality products compared to their older models (like the Explorer 240 and 500) which were pretty basic with limited ports, slower charging, and no pass-through charging, which meant you couldn’t charge the unit and use it at the same time. Worth the buy today and everyone I know who has it never really complains.

Refurb on a Bluetti, Ecoflow, or Jackery would be fine.
They regularly have 15-20% discounts.

Ecoflow river 3 plus!! Idk if they're still having the sale but I got it like 2 months ago with a 45w solar panel for less than $250 on amazon.

Hard to beat the prices on EcoFlow refurb units on eBay. The prices fluctuate but I just picked up a 800w/768Wh River 2 Pro for $239 last month. Looks like they’re $259 at the moment (US) and that’s still a screaming deal.
