Best Buy is offering the Jackery Explorer 290 portable power station as part of its daily deals for $179.99 ready to ship. Last year it was priced at $190 during the Black Friday sales, and the price was immediately slashed to a new low of $180 in January. That price difference repeated itself in July and peaked this month as well. It’s back on the market just in time for the late summer through fall outings, with another $70 discount that brings the price back to the lowest price ever we’ve tracked. This model is also currently unavailable in new condition on Amazon, only as a refurbished option for $149.

A wonderful travel companion, the Explorer 290 weighs 9.6 pounds and fits right into your backpack or carrying case. It offers a capacity of 290Wh as well as a power output of 200W with a peak of 400W. There are three ways to charge this model’s battery: either through solar charging, an AC outlet, or a carport – which takes about five to seven hours on average. Thanks to an AC port, two USB-A ports, and the carport, you can charge up to four devices at once.
