As an avid backpacker, it’s nice to have an outlet-free charging option for my personal devices. That’s why I’m a big fan of solar battery chargers—they can be extremely helpful as a means of staying in touch with loved ones when outlets are inaccessible. And because they’re often pretty costly (like, sometimes hundreds of dollars), I was beyond excited to see that Jackery’s SolarSaga Charging Station is currently 39% off, bringing down the price from $129 to just $79.
Even if you’re fishing, hiking or camping, the charging station acquires energy from the sun. So, all it needs is a little sun exposure to work its magic. Meanwhile, it’s both waterproof and highly durable, so regardless of where you go, it’ll be able to withstand the elements.
Weighing just 2.6 pounds, and measuring at around 10 by 12 by 1 inch, it’s lighter and more compact than a MacBook. It’s foldable and features two carabiners, so you can attach it to your backpack. It can withstand temperatures as cold as -4℉ and as hot as 149℉, and it’s both dust- and water-resistant.
In direct sunlight, the charger’s solar panels can charge to 80% in four hours. And with that power, it can fully charge an iPhone 13 in around 2.5 hours. It features a USB-C/USB-A ports, and a DC8020 1 port. Along with the charger, you’ll also get an accessories bag, a DC8020 to USB-C/USB-A Adapter, a multifunctional solar charging cable, two carabiners and a 5-year warranty.
Many shoppers appreciate the charger’s performance, as well as its durability. “Performance is excellent even in partial sunlight. I’ve used it to charge my phone, power bank, and even top off my Jackery Explorer power station while out on the water or at camp. The dual USB-A and USB-C outputs are super convenient, and setup is quick and easy,” one customer explains. “It’s also very well-built and weather-resistant, giving me peace of mind when I’m out in unpredictable conditions. Definitely feels like a high-quality product that punches above its price point.”
Other reviewers note the charger’s portability. “It’s something you can slip into the trunk of your car and not have to worry about sacrificing space for your essential gear,” another shopper writes. “I do have 200-watt Bluetti panels that would get the job done far more efficiently, but they’re like suitcases. Make no mistake, the benefit with this solar panel is portability. If you’re wanting something to fill up your 1200 watt power station, you’re looking in the wrong place. On the other hand, if you’re looking to charge up a small power bank or a mobile device or two, look no further!”
Now’s your chance for outlet-free charging. You won’t see prices like these anywhere else.
