If you’ve been eyeing portable power stations for camping trips or emergency backup, the Jackery E1500v2 bundled with a 100W solar panel just showed up at Costco, and it’s worth a serious look.
This is a solid mid-range power station with 1536Wh capacity and 2000W output, which means you can charge phones dozens of times, run a mini-fridge for hours, or keep essential devices going during a power outage. The included 100W solar panel lets you recharge off-grid, though you’ll want to set realistic expectations about charging speeds—we’re talking full-day sun exposure to get a meaningful recharge.
Jackery has built a strong reputation in this space, and the E1500v2 shows why. The build quality feels substantial without being ridiculously heavy, and the interface is straightforward enough that you won’t need a manual every time you use it. That said, if you’re planning serious off-grid adventures, you might eventually want additional solar panels since the single 100W panel takes its time.
