With a total power of 200W and up to 140W of charging per port, this thing is extremely useful if you’re “USB-C centric.”
As our devices continue to switch to USB-C as their default cable connections, this Jackery can be a savior of sorts. The tiny 240D power station has three USB-C ports and one USB-A, and it’s capable of charging up to four devices at once. That means if, say, your power goes out or your car battery dies, you can keep you and a few other phones charged up as you wait for aid. It only takes up to 1 hour to charge the station up to 80%. Paired with a 10-year-battery life, that’s an impressive gadget to keep in your trunk or storage closet.
“The 100-watt capability also makes a big difference in everyday use,” says one reviewer. “If you’re traveling between locations, you can plug your laptop or other device into the battery while you’re in transit and meaningfully recharge it. And because the unit itself can accept high-wattage USB-C input, it charges very quickly. Even if you’re only plugged in for a short time — say a 30-minute stop somewhere — it can gain a substantial amount of charge before you head out again.”
It’s also super portable, weighing just under 5 pounds and small enough to fit into a backpack.
