MacRumors readers can win a Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station and a SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel, a combo that's perfect for keeping Apple devices charged in emergencies.
The Explorer 500 is Jackery's mid-range power station with a 518 watt-hour battery and a solar panel. Jackery makes a range of larger and smaller batteries.
The Explorer 500 has a pure sine wave AC outlet, a 12V10A carport, and three 5V 2.4Ausb-A ports. It can provide power to Apple products, as well as run TVs, fans, humidifiers, projectors, and other appliances that draw less than 500 watt of power.
The built-in carport and theusb-a ports can be used to power small electronic devices, like air pumps, and vacuums.
The Jackery Explorer 500 is ideal to have on hand for emergencies because a charge can last for weeks. It can run a cable modem to keep you connected while you're camping, or it can run a routers to keep you connected while you're working from home.
A handle at the top makes it easy to carry, and a set of fans keep it cool even when it's running at full power. You can track power usage with the help of the screen on the front that displays the current charge level and watt draw.
You can charge the Explorer 500 with a standard cable, but you have to use the SolarSaga 100W. The SolarSaga has a high conversion efficiency of up to 23 percent. The SolarSaga folds down to be more portable and has a carry handle to make it easier to transport.
