The short answer
We’d buy one for travel the day it lands in the US, if your laptop charges over USB-C. If you need a wall socket for anything, keep walking: the 100D has none.

01 · What was announced
What Jackery said, and what it means
Announced October 28, 2026 in Jackery’s Canadian launch release, dated Toronto. The framing below is ours; every figure in it is graded in the ledger that follows.
This is a power bank that went to finishing school. No AC outlet, no 12 V socket, three USB ports and a screen. What lifts it above the power banks in a drugstore is the battery chemistry and the honesty of the display.
Jackery’s pitch is the travelling laptop: a 140 W USB-C port for the laptop, phones and a camera on the rest, all inside the battery size an airline lets you carry on without asking. For that job we think it is pitched exactly right.

03 · Our arithmetic
What the published numbers imply
Jackery has published no runtimes and no charging-circuit requirement. These are estimates from Jackery’s figures, and they are labelled Power Station Arena analysis everywhere they appear.
| Load | Base pack · 96 Wh |
|---|---|
| 10 W — A phone charging | 8.2 h |
| 60 W — A laptop | 1.4 h |
| 150 W — Laptop, router and lights | 33 min |
| 158 W — The full continuous rating | 31 min |
Assumes 85% of rated capacity reaches the load — the same planning constant our comparison engine uses for every station. Real runtime at 158 W will also depend on how the pack derates in heat, which nobody has measured yet.
Power Station Arena analysisWhat the charging claims imply
Jackery quotes 0 to 80% in about 1.6 hours on a 100 W USB-C charger and 1.7 hours on 100 W of solar. It does not say how fast a 140 W charger gets there.
Good to knowEvery estimate above updates automatically if Jackery revises a published figure; nothing here is typed in by hand.
04 · Our take
What the Explorer 100D is really for, and who it is aimed at
Analysis by the Test Desk — not a summary of Jackery’s release or anyone else’s coverage. Every comparison figure below comes from the named maker’s own page.
The number that matters is 96, and Jackery picked it on purpose. Most airlines let you carry a battery under 100 Wh without asking anyone, and the FAA draws the same line. Between 100 and 160 Wh you need the airline’s permission; above 160 Wh it stays home. So the 100D’s nearest rivals in our catalog sort themselves at the gate: the 128 Wh BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini needs a yes from the airline, and the 192 Wh SOLIX C200 DC and the 288 Wh Explorer 300D cannot fly on a passenger plane at all. If you fly, that leaves Goal Zero’s two Sherpa 100 units and this one.
Read the port diagram, not the headline. Jackery advertises two 140 W USB-C ports and 158 W of output. Its own diagram says the two USB-C ports share 140 W between them, and the 158 W only appears when the 18 W USB-A port joins in. So a 140 W laptop and a phone on USB-C at the same time will split the 140 W. A laptop on USB-C and a phone on USB-A is the combination that gets the full 158 W.
The charging times give the real input away. 80% of 96 Wh is 76.8 Wh. Jackery says a 100 W charger gets there in about 1.6 hours, which is an average of 48 W; 100 W of solar takes 1.7 hours, about 45 W. That is normal for a small battery that slows as it fills, and it is still a fast recharge. Just plan on about 50 W going in, and treat 140 W as the ceiling rather than the speed. Jackery has not said how much faster a 140 W charger is, and the box has no charger in it, so budget for one.
The cycle rating is the real upgrade. 3,000 cycles to 80% is 8.2 years at a full cycle every day, which is where Jackery’s “up to 8 years” comes from. The Explorer 100 Plus was rated 2,000, so the 50% longer life in Jackery’s release checks out. Against Goal Zero’s Sherpa 100PD, one of the two other carry-on units in our catalog, it is six times the rated cycles, on LFP cells instead of NMC. A screen that reports battery health is a small thing we’d like on every unit: it tells you when the battery is wearing out before a trip finds out for you.
The US is the open question. The 100D is not on Jackery’s US store yet, and the Explorer 100 Plus listing there reads sold out at $149. Our read, and it is only a read: a successor that is on sale in Canada and Europe with a predecessor sold out in the US usually means the US listing is coming. We will not guess the price from the Canadian one; exchange rates and US pricing rarely line up. We will add it the day Jackery publishes it.

Who should wait for it, and who should not
Read from what Jackery chose to announce and what it chose to leave out.
Worth waiting for if you are
- Anyone who flies with a USB-C laptop. 96 Wh is about one full charge for a 14-inch MacBook Pro by Jackery’s figures, in a box you can carry on without a conversation at the gate.
- Phone, camera and drone shooters. A DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to half in 10 minutes, by Jackery’s figures, and three ports so the gimbal, the phone and the mic charge together.
- Van and truck owners on 24 V. Full from a 24 V supply in a little over 2 hours. That is a rarer feature than it should be at this size.
Buy something that ships if you are
- Anything with a wall plug. There is no AC outlet. A CPAP, a fan with a plug or a mini fridge needs something like the Elite 10 Mini, which has one.
- Overnight runtime. 96 Wh is a phone-and-laptop battery. For a weekend of camping power, the Explorer 300D holds three times as much at 5.5 lb.
- US buyers who need it this week. Jackery has not listed it in the US. The alternatives below ship now.

Frequently asked
Short answers, each with its own link.
Jackery has not said. It went on sale in Canada on October 28, 2026 and is listed on Jackery’s European store, but it was not on Jackery’s US store when we checked on October 29. We update this page and email the alert list when the US listing appears.
In Canada, CA$179 list and CA$159 at launch for a limited time. In Europe, €129 list and €99 on Jackery’s store on October 29. There is no US price yet; we will add it the day Jackery publishes one.
At 96 Wh it is under the 100 Wh limit most airlines set for carry-on batteries, which Jackery designed it for. Carry it in the cabin, not checked baggage, and check your airline’s rules before you fly, as Jackery itself advises.
No. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with no inverter. Anything with a wall plug needs a different unit, such as the BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini.
By Jackery’s figures the 100D is 14% smaller and 12% lighter, rated 3,000 cycles instead of 2,000, and its USB-C ports go to 140 W instead of 100 W. It also charges from 24 V supplies and has a screen that shows battery health and temperature. Capacity drops slightly, from 99 Wh to 96 Wh.
From Jackery: 96 Wh of LFP cells rated 3,000 cycles to 80%, 158 W total output, two USB-C ports up to 140 W (sharing 140 W between them) and one 18 W USB-A, up to 140 W charging over USB-C, up to 100 W of solar through an adapter, 12 V and 24 V vehicle charging, 1.9 lb, 4.67 × 3.25 × 3.37 in, −4°F to 113°F, and a 2-year warranty in Canada.
