The Explorer 300 Plus is a compact power station with a single AC outlet, built to run solar charging through the same USB-C port used from the grid: a different architecture from the rest of the Jackery range, which usually has a dedicated input for the panel.
In a blackout it switches to the battery so fast that a connected router or laptop don't notice, and meanwhile it can keep charging from the grid. Besides Bluetooth it also has home Wi-Fi: it's controlled from the app even while staying in another room of the van or the apartment, but the buttons on the panel are enough on their own to turn the outputs on and off without going through the phone.
It's built for a weekend away, a converted van or a small desk backup for a router and laptop during a power outage; anyone looking for something that handles more than one AC appliance at a time should look elsewhere, because here there's only one outlet.

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.

Pros and cons
In favour
- In a blackout it switches to the battery so fast that a connected router or laptop don't notice.
- The startup peak comfortably exceeds the continuous rating, so even a small motor-driven appliance starts without tripping anything.
- Wi-Fi joins Bluetooth: from the van you control it from the phone even while staying in another room, not just a step away. source
- The solar panel charges through the same USB-C port as the wall charger, so the time to fill up doesn't change whichever source you choose.
Worth knowing
- Only one AC outlet: two appliances that run on mains power together don't fit without a power strip.
- The continuous rating is enough for a laptop or a small camping fridge, not for a hair dryer or a hot plate at higher loads.
- Extending the warranty from three to five years means registering the product online or writing to support: anyone who doesn't stays covered for less time.
