Coming to us via its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Jackery Explorer 290 Portable Power Station for $179.99 shipped. Down from its usual $250 price tag, it ended last year with a low of $190 during Black Friday sales, with prices immediately undercut in January to the newer $180 low, which repeated again in July and back at the top of this month too. It’s coming in once more in time for those late summer to fall outings as another $70 markdown that returns costs back to the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You won’t currently find this model available in new condition on Amazon either, only a refurbished option for $149.

A wonderful travel companion that weighs in at 9.6 pounds and can fit right into your backpack or tote bag, the Explorer 290 delivers a 290Wh capacity alongside 200W of power output, peaking at 400W. There are three ways to recharge the battery on this model, either through solar charging, an AC outlet, or a car port – taking somewhere in the range of five to seven hours on average. Thanks to its one AC port, two USB-A ports, and the car port, you’ll be able to recharge up to four devices at once.

You’ll find up to $2,900 discounts on a small selection of units ranging from 1,070Wh to 6,129Wh capacities – whether you just need some weekend support on your next camping trip or reliable home backup power to handle unexpected blackouts.
