Many months ago, I heard a rumor that Jackery, a top portable power station brand, was going out of business.
And while I have no inside information and no way to verify it, I thought I’d give my opinion on the matter since I’ve seen it come up a few times since then and I believe I know why.
Is Jackery Going Out of Business?
Jackery is not going out of business, based on basic research I have done and based on the company’s actions.
The Origins of the Rumor
In August 2023, I noticed at least one scam website advertising using an identical website to Jackery.com.
They were using paid ads acting like Jackery and sending you to a very similar website, but not the official Jackery.com
In fact, in August 2023, I contacted Jackery, letting them know because this scam website was advertising EVERYWHERE.
Gmail ads, google search ads, etc, all with “Jackery 95% Off!” and various other phrasing.
When you clicked the ad, the website looked exactly like Jackery.com, but the prices were insanely low. I don’t have a screenshot, but it was about $30 for a Jackery 1000 that normally sells over $800.
It’s clear to most that this was a scam, but unsavvy consumers seem to have fallen for it a few times.
Because the website offered 95% off products, people thought it was a liquidation or “going out of business” sale.
Instead, it was a scam.
Tips to Identify Authentic Jackery Products and Offers
Jackery is a global brand and sells on a variety of platforms. To ensure you’re getting an authentic Jackery power station, make sure to buy from their official websites and authorized dealers.
Avoid Jackery scams by purchasing from the following:
- Jackery.com
- Amazon.com
- Lowes.com
- HarborFreight.com
- HomeDepot.com
- Walmart.com
- BestBuy.com
- Costco.com
- Target.com
To get an updated list, visit their official “where to buy” page.
If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is!
Evaluating Jackery’s Current Business
Without being inside a company and seeing their financial statements, there isn’t anyway to know for sure if a company is going out of business.
However, Jackery is a top power station brand and is staying on top of current trends.
In Fall 2023, they released a line of LiFePO4 power stations, including a Jackery 300 LiFePO4, expanding their product line to compete with Ecoflow LiFePO4 and other Jackery alternatives.
