Our take
What the Explorer 100 Plus is good at, and what to watch for
KiloHour take Pick it if you want a 99.2Wh USB battery that fits airline carry-on limits, but it has no AC outlets, so anything with a wall plug needs a bigger station.
The Explorer 100 Plus is the smallest model in Jackery's lineup: 99.2Wh of LiFePO4 in a 2.13 lb (965 g) block, with no AC inverter at all. Everything runs over USB. Its two USB-C ports each deliver up to 100W, a USB-A port adds 18W, and the manual caps all three together at 128W.
The size is the point. Jackery's page notes that passengers may carry lithium batteries of 100Wh or less without airline approval, while adding that rules vary by country and airline, so this is the Jackery built for flights and day bags. The USB-C ports double as inputs: up to 100W from a wall charger, 60W from a car socket, or 100W of solar from a single panel. Jackery quotes a full charge in 1.8 hours over USB-C and about 2 hours with one SolarSaga 100W panel in its lab.
The page lists 2,000 cycles to 80 percent capacity and a two-year warranty, both shorter than Jackery's larger stations.
The trade-off is plain: without AC outlets it cannot run a lamp, fan or CPAP that uses a standard wall plug. If you need a 120V socket, the Explorer 240 v2 is the next step up, with 256Wh and a 300W AC outlet. At 99.2Wh, the 100 Plus suits phones, tablets, cameras and laptops, not outage backup.

FAQ
Explorer 100 Plus questions
Answers use the same published specs and labelled assumptions as the calculator.
Does the Explorer 100 Plus have an AC outlet?
No. It has no inverter, so it only powers 12 V and USB devices, up to 100 W from one USB-C port. A CPAP needs its maker's DC adapter to run from it.
How long will the Explorer 100 Plus last?
99 Wh stored, about 89 Wh of it usable at the typical estimate.
What is the Explorer 100 Plus solar input?
Its limit is 100 W, below a 200 W panel, so extra panel watts are clipped. Expect about 0.3 days of 5-hour sun to refill it. Panels are assumed to deliver 75% of their rating.
How heavy is the Jackery Explorer 100 Plus?
2.13 lb (0.965 kg). That is about 47 Wh per pound.
Which Explorer 100 Plus specs are not published?
Not listed by Jackery: 12 V car port output.
