SYDNEY, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jackery, a global leader in solar generators and innovative portable power solutions, today announced its largest Australian showcase to date at the National 4×4 Outdoors Show Melbourne, running August 21–23 at the Melbourne Showgrounds.

Introducing the Jackery Explorer 300D: More Power, Less Bulk
The Melbourne 4×4 Show marks the official Australian debut of the Jackery Explorer 300D, a direct-DC power station designed to bridge the gap between a standard phone power bank and a conventional, bulkier power station.
- Big Reserve in a Lightweight Frame: Delivering 288Wh of capacity (equivalent to ~90,000mAh) while weighing just 2.5kg, the 300D provides significantly more usable energy than standard power banks without the bulk of a full-sized power station.
- Direct-DC Innovation: By removing the traditional AC inverter, the 300D eliminates inverter conversion losses, reduces overall weight, and operates with zero fan noise.
- High-Output Performance: Capable of delivering up to 140W USB-C output, it fast-charges modern mobile gear simultaneously, including laptops, cameras, phones, mobile routers, drones, and the Starlink Mini.
- Ergonomic & Durable: Features an integrated heavy-duty USB-C cable that doubles as a comfortable carry handle, alongside a long-lasting LiFePO4 (LFP) battery rated for ~4,000 charge cycles and ZeroDrain™ technology for long-term storage charge retention.
“The Explorer 300D was created for people who need far more power and faster output than a standard power bank can provide, but don’t want to haul a heavy power station on every trip,” said Avis Hung, Regional Marketing Manager of ANZ at Jackery. “It delivers high-capacity direct-DC energy in a compact, grab-and-go form factor built for modern travel gear.”
Attendees can pre-order the Explorer 300D online or in person at the show for $299 ($150 off its regular price) as part of an early-bird special.
