Black Friday is November 27, 2026, and neither maker has announced its sale. Here is what Jackery and Lion Energy show on their own sites today, what Jackery published about 2025, when to order for a holiday delivery, and how to judge any sale by the watt-hour. Updated when either maker announces.

On October 7, 2026 Jackery's home page and its Black Friday address carried the same event: 'Prime Big Deal Days | Oct 4 - 7', 'UP TO 65% OFF', 'Fall's Biggest Deals', a 'Biggest Deals End In' countdown at zero and 'Limited-Time Gifts | Oct 4-7'12. The percentage labels sat on bundles: 18% OFF on the Explorer 5000 Plus with two 500 X panels ($4,229.00, struck-through $5,159.00), 30% OFF on the SolarSaga 500 X panel ($699.00, struck-through $999.00), the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 with a battery pack at $1,599.00 against $1,889.00112. An 'Early Black Friday Sale' collection was already live, undated: Explorer 1000 v2 $499.00 (struck-through $589.00), a refurbished Explorer 2000 Plus $2,499.00 (struck-through $5,799.00, '56% OFF')3.
The membership panel on every page offered 'Get $200 off coupon for first registration' and 'Free gift for your first order over $1000 for once'4; the event page added 3X points for members and, each with an asterisk, free shipping on all orders and a free extended warranty2. The deepest percentages were on refurbished kits: the 6 kWh Explorer 2000 Plus kit with a 500 X panel was $2,499.00 against $5,799.00, '$3,300 OFF'13, with Jackery's 6-month warranty on renewed products rather than the 3+2 years on new HomePower and Explorer Plus units bought on jackery.com8.
Lion Energy's banner read 'WAREHOUSE SALE OCT 8-10 10am to 6pm', with no percentage and no online terms, so treat it as an in-person event at the company's Utah warehouse until Lion says otherwise17. The home page carried two offers: a Prowler power bank and lights bundle at a sale price of $55.00 against a regular $90.00, and the Sanctuary 2 Indoor inverter-and-battery system at $6,800.00 as a 'One-Time Promotion', valid while supplies last, installation not included17.
The portable units we track were at list: Lion Safari $1,399.00 with no struck-through price, Lion Summit $399.00 but showing 'Sold Out' with a notify-me button1819. Lion's blog has no Black Friday post and its site search for 'black friday' returns products only2122.
Each maker's own page, read the same evening. Per Wh is our arithmetic: listed price / stated Wh.

A dash means no struck-through price was shown. The Explorer 2000 Plus was not listed new on its own; its bundle includes two panels. Anker SOLIX and EcoFlow were not re-read today; their October 2 prices are on the 2 kWh and 1 kWh hubs.
Two Jackery press releases describe the 2025 sale, both for the United Kingdom. On November 13, 2025 Jackery announced 'Black Friday Weeks' in its UK shop from 13 November to 2 December 2025 at 'up to 50%' off: Explorer 3000 v2 £1,599 (regularly £2,299), Solar Generator 2000 v2 £1,044 instead of £1,999, Explorer 1000 v2 £399 instead of £899, plus a gift ladder7. On November 20 it announced 'Black Friday Weeks on Amazon: Up to 58% off' for Amazon UK from 20 November to 1 December: Solar Generator 2000 v2 £989 (down from £1,999), the 1000 v2 station from £899 to £379, Explorer 500 v2 £256 instead of £4496.
For the United States the only jackery.com record is its own blog post, 'Jackery Black Friday Deals - How to Choose [2025 Updated]', which says the sale 'offers up to 65% off on selected products' and describes a member gift for a first order over $3,000, but gives no dates and no unit prices; Jackery's post on the 2023 sale says it began on November 17, 20235. Third-party roundups are not the merchant's record, so we do not repeat them. The pattern: the headline percentage sits on bundles and refurbished kits, while single units moved by $130 to $200 against their strikes in the current event101116. Compare per watt-hour, not by percent.
Jackery's service policy: 'Please allow up to 1 business day for us to process your order. Once processed, orders typically depart from our facilities within 1-2 business days and take 1-5 business days in transit.' It calls these estimates, not guaranteed8; its shipping policy page adds that lithium batteries go by ground only, with no expedited option, and that harsh weather can delay delivery9.
Add the longest windows and an order placed on a business day can take 8 business days. Counting back from Thursday, December 24, 2026, that is an order by Monday, December 14, 2026: our date, from Jackery's windows, which publish no holiday cutoff. Lion Energy publishes a 30-day return window (updated June 9, 2026) but no processing or transit window, and its FAQ page loaded no answers in our read20; its Safari page carried 'Shipping starts week of Sept 21' on October 718. Ask Lion before ordering for December.
Step 2
A reference price, not last week's price. The Explorer 2000 v2 showed the same $999.00 strike on October 2 at $899.00 and on October 7 at $864.0010. Watch the listed price over weeks.
Step 4
A discount on a 530 W unit still does not start a refrigerator19. Add up what runs together: runtime by appliance, the fridge, the furnace blower, CPAP, blanket vs heater.
Step 6
The biggest percentages were on refurbished kits with the 6-month warranty138. Work out per Wh after the discount and what the kit includes, then compare with a new unit; our Explorer 2000 Plus review walks through one.
Each maker's page has the price of the day and the full terms.

Not on October 7. Jackery's Black Friday address showed its October event2 and Lion's banner was a warehouse sale17. Black Friday is November 27, 2026; we update this page when either maker announces.
It is Jackery's own headline, and the largest percentages sat on refurbished kits and bundles213. Judge each unit by its listed price per Wh.
Renewed products get a 6-month warranty against 3+2 years on new HomePower and Explorer Plus units bought on jackery.com8. The refurbished 6 kWh Explorer 2000 Plus kit was $2,499.00 on October 713, about $0.41 per Wh with a panel included (our arithmetic). Decide on the warranty gap, not the percentage.
Adding Jackery's longest stated windows (1 + 2 + 5 business days, none guaranteed8), an order by Monday, December 14, 2026 arrives by December 24 on paper. That date is our arithmetic.
