Explained simply
Portable power stations store electricity in a rechargeable battery and provide it through ports for devices such as phones and tablets. Unlike larger models used for camping or backup power, smaller units are designed to be carried around; their capacity indicates how much energy they can store.
Jackery is a company that makes portable power products. The Explorer 100D uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, a type designed to withstand more charge cycles than many common lithium-ion batteries, though actual lifespan depends on use. Its 96 watt-hour capacity is within the limit commonly used for batteries carried on passenger flights, but airline rules can vary.
