A pure sine wave inverter keeps your delicate gear—like cameras or routers—safe from nasty power spikes. It’s got one AC outlet, three USB-A ports, two DC ports, and a carport, giving you plenty of ways to juice up multiple devices at once. Tests show it can keep a 36-liter fridge humming for over two days or charge a 15-inch MacBook Pro five times on one go.
Charging options make the Explorer 500 a champ for any situation. Hook it to a wall socket, and it’s topped off in about 7.5 hours. A 12V car charger hits the same mark, perfect for road trips. Team it with a Jackery SolarSaga 100W solar panel, and you’ve got a green, off-grid setup that recharges in around 9.5 hours with good sunlight.
Great back-up battery. Once charged, it stays at 100% for many months. I got this mostly for my CPAP machine in cases where my home’s power would ever go out. The standard 3-prong socket had it running for 6-8 hours, but using the other “cigarette lighter” style socket saves even more power,” said one reviewer.
