Jackery Japan, a major player in portable power stations, is successively introducing new products that redefine conventional wisdom about securing power for both daily life and outdoor activities. Launching on July 15 are the “Jackery Solar Backpack,” a backpack that enables solar charging while walking, and the “Jackery SlimPower H1,” a stationary portable power station touted as one of the world’s slimmest at just 67mm. With these contrasting approaches—a power-generating backpack that enhances outdoor mobility and a slim power station that blends into indoor dead space—the company aims to make waves in a market facing intensifying price competition.
The “Jackery Solar Backpack” is a 20L capacity backpack with a high-efficiency solar panel boasting a maximum conversion efficiency of 25% integrated into the front. Priced at ¥17,999 (approximately $112). It converts sunlight into electricity while on the move, allowing direct charging of smartphones and tablets via built-in USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports. Output is up to 15W.
Due to the integrated solar panel, the weight is 1.5kg, slightly heavier than typical backpacks of the same capacity, but the company states it is finished to feel natural whether held in hand or worn on the back. The front panel is designed to blend in seamlessly even as a business bag, with a key feature being the ability to generate power during commutes or business trips.
Inside the bag, a dedicated storage compartment securely holds the company’s compact portable power station, the “Jackery Explorer 100 Plus.” Designed to integrate solar generation, storage, and power supply in a single portable unit, it also envisions usage scenarios where generated power is first stored in the battery before being supplied to devices. Main unit dimensions are 340×140×420mm (width×depth×height).
Furthermore, for users who utilize portable power stations and solar panels for outdoor leisure, a “Jackery Solar Panel Storage Bag” will also be released in September for ¥6,999 (approximately $43). This bag can store one or two “Jackery SolarSaga 100W/200W” panels and features a 2-way design with both hand-carry and shoulder straps. It uses tear-resistant material and features water-repellent, dust-proof construction, double zippers, and waterproof zipper design to withstand harsh outdoor environments. Dimensions are 650×150×620mm.
Meanwhile, the “Jackery SlimPower H1,” specialized for stationary use, is priced at ¥119,800 (approximately $743) and features a built-in 1,024Wh lithium iron phosphate battery. Its most distinctive feature is its slim body at just 67mm, allowing it to easily fit into spaces beside refrigerators or gaps between furniture where conventional portable power stations were difficult to install. In addition to vertical and horizontal placement using the included stand, wall mounting is also possible using the separately sold wall-mounted bracket (¥1,999, approximately $12).
Based on the company’s survey identifying refrigerators as the top appliance people struggle to use during power outages, the design strongly anticipates constant connection to refrigerators. Rated output is 800W, with an instantaneous peak output of 1,600W, and it features one AC port (100–120V). AC input supports up to 850W, enabling a full charge in approximately 1.5 hours. Adding the separately sold DC adapter “Jackery DC Input Module” (¥11,999, approximately $74) enables charging from the company’s solar panels.
It boasts a long lifespan with 6,000 charge/discharge cycles (maintaining 70% capacity) and is equipped with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) function. By connecting it between an outlet and an appliance, it switches power supply to the battery in approximately 0.01 seconds during a power outage, protecting devices like refrigerators and communication equipment that should not lose power. Operation and status checks via smartphone app integration are also possible, and thoughtful details are incorporated, such as the display automatically rotating 90 degrees when placed horizontally. Main unit dimensions are approximately 67×325×600mm, and weight is approximately 10.5kg.
For users desiring capacity expansion, the expansion battery “Jackery Battery Pack SlimPower” will also be released simultaneously. With a capacity of 1,024Wh, identical to the main unit, it is priced at ¥79,000 (approximately $490). Connecting it can double the capacity to a maximum of 2,048Wh.
In recent years, the portable power station market has seen intensifying price competition due to the rise of emerging manufacturers. In this environment, Jackery Japan has clearly articulated a strategy focusing not only on online sales but also on offline sales where consumers can actually consult, experience, and compare products. Plans were also revealed to open a new directly managed store in Harajuku, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, in mid-November. This appears to be a strategy positioning the distinctive new products—the slim power station and the solar backpack—as compelling merchandise for physical store appeal.
These two products target different scenarios: mobile power generation outdoors and permanent installation indoors. However, both share the common direction of “making power security more accessible and more natural.” The backpack integrates power generation into the everyday act of walking, while the slim power station tucks storage capability into the dead space between furniture. Attention is focused on whether these products, which expand the concept of portable power stations, can introduce a new value axis into a market solely focused on price competition.
