    Jackery Explorer 500 – 518Wh Portable Power Station

    The Jackery Explorer 500 is a 518Wh portable power station that provides an all-in-one solution to an off-grid electrical system. Featuring a lithium leisure battery, a 500W inverter and a charge controller, the Jackery Explorer 500 makes a popular option to off-grid power.

    518Wh lithium leisure battery

    The Explorer 500 has a 518Wh lithium battery. This battery has a lifecycle of 500 cycles. After this time the battery capacity will be reduced to ~80% of its total.

    Below you can see an example of how long the battery will last charging various appliances:

    • Phone – 53 charges
    • Laptop – 7 charges
    • Drone – 9 charges
    • Camera – 25 charges
    • Blender – 50 mins

    500W pure sine wave inverter

    The built-in pure sine wave inverter has a total continuous rating of 500W and a surge rating of 1000W. This means you can power a mains appliance rated up to 500W, such as laptops, hair straighteners and blenders.

    Recharging methods

    The powerbank has a built-in MPPT charge controller, meaning you can recharge the power station using a portable solar panel. As well as solar, it’s also possible to recharge the Jackery using a mains plug socket or a 12V car socket.

    Recharging times:

    • 100W solar panel – 7.5 hours
    • Mains plug socket – 5.5 hours
    • Car cigarette lighter socket – 5.5 hours

    Multiple output ports

    The Jackery Explorer 500 features the following output ports:

    • 3x 12V USB port
    • 2x 12V DC outlet
    • 1x 12V car cigarette lighter socket
    • 1x 230V plug socket (up to 500W)

    Built-in BMS (battery management system)

    The integrated BMS ensures the lithium battery is fully protected from over and under voltage, short circuit and low temperatures.

    LCD screen

    An LCD display allows you to monitor the state of charge and power usage, displaying power in via charging methods and power out from appliance usage.

    Use cases

    The Jackery 500 is suitable for off-grid applications such as campervans, overlanders and camping trips.
