Be aware that the Jackery may not be using LFP batteries, the only lithium chemistry Id consider. They have typically used NMC with a 500ish recharge cycle expectancy, not anywhere near what LFP will do.

Don't really need one. But at that price, kind of want one.

When I looked up Jackery online the bat info said LFP is used in their larger/top line units. In specific, the Explorer unit I found said NMC; maybe they have changed on new units?
That said, maybe the old unsold units with NMC are what is on sale?
I know....Im a suspicious coot, imo advert info needs to be verified on a lot of this 'imported' stuff.
Btw, Im still liking my Ecoflow River2, LFP; maybe there will be some Black Friday deals on those too.

To be safe Id look for more info online than just believe the ad; I did so regarding my Ecoflow.
Ime Amazon has some incorrect specs on stuff.

The screenshot I posted third post from top of the unit Darz mentioned is from the Jackery website. You have to dig a bit..
Of course they could all be wrong.

All kinds of deals for the eco flow on Amazon. Don't know what model you have. Check Amazon. Maybe you can get a deal on a bigger model.

I actually like my E.F.River2, it is the SMALL, portable upscale version of my long used 12v LA 'jump pac'. That said, the next size up (or more) would probably be better for a lot of folks. For me 2x the size and weight was not what I wanted.
You have to define your use! to size one of these units.
Fwiw, when researching for a unit I read a number of reviews by happy Jackery owners.
Even though they have used NMC (still a Lithium ion) there has been in the past questions about why they didn't use LFP. Iirc it is because the NMC bats are lighter and recharge quicker, just what they decided folks wanted in a 'portable' unit.

A closer study of the Jackerys Amazon lists does show the Explorer 300 battery as 'lithium' instead of 'lifepo4' like the larger ones, and the cycle time is 500, not 3,000+ like the lifepo4 models.
So gcrank is correct, best to look closely at the model being considered.

Amazon does this all the time. Theres stuff I never not see on "sale".
Also just about every portable battery brand does sales every holiday.
