Jackery 160 Explorer Review.
Jackery is trending to become a top seller online.
The standout feature is Jackery Explorer’s lightweight size — they’re offered in 3 sizes, but weigh much less than similar portable generators.

Each is powered w/ a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Being battery-powered, you won’t have to worry about toxic fumes or exhaust. You can also safely use them for indoor activities.
For my review, I will focus on the Jackery Explorer 160.

The Explorer 160 is perfect for powering smaller appliances.

Jackery Explorer 160 is a dependable back-up power supply in case of emergency — not heavy duty, but it is a dependable power source for any type of communication device.
In case of power outage, you can even charge your home WiFi router + you computer (or tablet).
