We live in an age where electronics, peripherals, and a connection to the internet are the lifeblood for work, careers, and day-to-day life.
From computers to phones to routers and smart appliances, we as people are more connected than we ever have been before. While entire industries and academics can (and do) debate on the effect of being this plugged in, there is one universal truth that we all accept: We need reliable sources of electricity to stay plugged in and online.
If that power source is portable, quiet, and effective without breaking the bank, then all the more reason to consider bringing one into your life.
If you’re like me and live in an area where stormy weather can turn on a dime several months out of the year, and losing power isn’t a question of «if» but rather «when», you are a prime candidate for a portable power station. A power source to keep your life and connectivity online, outside of the versatility of power-on-the-go for camping, events, and worksites.
In an industry with many name brands and options to choose from, consumers are spoiled for choice when it comes to reliability, options, and cost. Jackery stands out as a well-established name in the business of power stations and portable power, and it sent over the Jackery Explorer 2000.
What is the Jackery Explorer 2000?

The Jackery Explorer 2000 arrived at my apartment in a single large box that is incredibly well packed and padded for protection during shipping.
Inside the box, the deliverables were straight to the point with just the Jackery Explorer 2000 and the AC charge cable. No extra accessories, just the unit and a way to hook it up to feed it power.
Jackery Explorer 2000 review: Quality and Features
Straight out of the box, I could tell that the Jackery Explorer 2000 is not a cheaply made or junk product. Everything about it is excellent quality, and even though I would not be using the station on a busy worksite, the sturdiness and downright chunkiness of it is reassuring.
