The Explorer 100 Plus is the smallest of the three: it has no AC outlet at all, only two USB-C and one USB-A, and the lithium iron phosphate cell keeps it stable even locked in a car in summer. It's built to recharge what you carry on you, not to run an appliance.
The two USB-C ports handle fast charging for a laptop or a camera even together with a third device on the USB-A, without any of the three slowing down; and it charges at the same speed whether from the outlet or a portable solar panel, so on the road it makes no difference which one you use. An LCD screen shows how much is left until full and how much charge remains, without needing an app or a connection.
It fits in a backpack or jacket pocket and is built for anyone doing photography, cycle touring or trekking who wants to keep a phone, an action cam and a drone charged without carrying a different charger for each; it isn't the right choice for anyone looking for a small home backup or wanting to power a stove or a camping fridge, because those need an outlet that isn't here.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out
- price
- 149.990
- nominal capacity
- 0.099
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first

- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher
- without conversion losses, which the manufacturer does not state: the real cost is higher

These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- The two USB-C ports handle fast charging for a laptop or a camera even together with a third device on the USB-A, without any of the three slowing down.
- The lithium iron phosphate cell tolerates more charge cycles than the more common chemistries at this power bank size, and is more stable in the heat of a car cabin in summer.
- It charges at the same speed from the outlet or a portable solar panel: on the road it makes no difference which one you choose.
Worth knowing
- A camping compressor fridge or a small electric stove are out of reach: here you can only recharge what runs on USB. source
- In the car it charges more slowly than from the outlet or the solar panel: the cigarette lighter has its own limit, lower than the other two inputs. source
- Coverage is short: anyone carrying it to a job site every day wears it out before it expires.
