Following the premiere of Jump Into The Unknown, TESSAN invites people worldwide to answer one question — Where Will Courage Take You? — by sharing a meaningful first step of their own.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the November 1 release of Jump Into The Unknown, a documentary featuring adventure athlete and filmmaker Jamie Leibert, TESSAN is inviting audiences to move from watching to acting. On November 4, the brand launched the CourageCharge Challenge, a global community campaign built around one simple question: Where Will Courage Take You?
Jump Into The Unknown follows Jamie, his wife and creative partner Sandra, and their three-legged rescue dog Journey on a 30-day journey through the Swiss Alps. The film captures how they navigate uncertainty, fear, and unexpected challenges along the way.
The CourageCharge Challenge extends the film's theme beyond the mountains and into everyday life. It encourages people to start something they have always wanted to do but have hesitated to try, and to share the moment they take their first step.
Jamie's journey is a powerful reminder that courage often begins with a single step into the unknown. While not everyone will take on extraordinary adventures, we all have moments when courage calls us to begin something new. It might be setting off on your first solo trip, lacing up your running shoes for the very first time, or finally picking up that guitar you've always wanted to learn.
These moments may seem small, but they can mark the beginning of something meaningful. Through the #CourageCharge campaign, TESSAN invites everyone to share their own first step, because every journey worth taking begins with the courage to start.
The challenge is not about how ambitious the goal may seem. It is about why it matters to the individual — and whether they are willing to begin.
Jamie's story is the beginning. Your first step comes next.
How to Join the CourageCharge Challenge
The challenge is open to eligible individuals aged 18 and older worldwide. No pre-registration or professional filming equipment is required. Participants can join in three steps:
- Find Your Courage: Think of something you have always wanted to do but have not yet dared to try. Identify one small, safe step you can take to begin.
- Record and Share: Create an original vertical video between 30 and 120 seconds, sharing your story and showing yourself taking that first step. Post it publicly on Instagram or TikTok, include #CourageCharge, and tag @tessan_official.
- Submit Your Entry: Visit the official CourageCharge Challenge page and submit the link to your published video. Posting on social media alone does not complete an entry; submission through the campaign page is required.
Participants do not need to complete their ultimate goal within the video. The focus is on showing the beginning of the journey.
A Commitment to Safety: Courage does not mean danger. The challenge encourages safe, everyday actions and does not ask participants to imitate high-risk activities. For full eligibility requirements and safety guidelines, please visit the official campaign page.
Prizes and Selection
The challenge will recognize three Grand Prize winners, each receiving an iPhone 18 Pro 256GB. Adventure athlete Jamie Leibert will personally review the finalists and select the three Grand Prize winners.
Additionally, TESSAN will recognize 20 recipients of the Community Courage Awards, each receiving a TESSAN AERO 70 Smart Travel Adapter.
Entries will be evaluated on four factors: relevance to the challenge theme and personal significance, authenticity and originality, clarity of expression, and the ability to inspire others through action. Professional equipment and polished video production are not the main considerations.
Apple is not a sponsor of, or affiliated with, this promotion.
Challenge Timeline
- Challenge Launch: November 4, 2026
- Submission Deadline: December 4, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET
- Winners Announced: December 11, 2026
Building on the story told in Jump Into The Unknown, the CourageCharge Challenge invites people to move beyond watching someone else take a leap and consider what their own first step might be.
Whether it means starting a new routine, pursuing an opportunity, or trying something for the first time, every meaningful journey begins somewhere.

From Watching to Acting: TESSAN Launches the Global CourageCharge Challenge
Flagship Apex versatility in a compact 2.5kWh format—big enough for real backup, light enough to move, and built to scale.
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BLUETTI today launched the Apex 200—a streamlined, highly portable solar generator tailored for home emergency backup, power grid reliability, RV travel, and off-grid living. Early pricing is available across launch packages from November 4 through November 18, with the standalone Apex 200 portable power station starting at $1,099.
"After the well-acclaimed Apex 300, the number one piece of feedback we heard was simple: users loved the modular versatility, but wanted it in a package they could easily manage day-to-day," said James Ray, Marketing Director at BLUETTI. "The Apex 200 is our answer. It's not just a smaller battery—it's a flexible everyday powerhouse built to start smaller for emergency backup, with a clear, stress-free path to scale up as your life and power needs grow."
Start Small. Scale Big. Power More.
Bringing flagship Apex versatility into a compact 2.56kWh format, the Apex 200 offers a more accessible entry point designed to start small and scale as power needs evolve.
- Base Unit Performance
Combines 2,560Wh of LFP capacity with a robust 3.2kW~3.6kW AC output (3.6kW with expansion or active charging) in a sleek 26.9kg enclosure.
- Single-Unit Expansion (Up to 33.28kWh)
A single Apex 200 unit connects with up to six B500K expansion batteries to reach its individual max capacity of 33.28kWh. For typical power outages, adding one or two B300K batteries can extend essential home backup to 2–3 days.
- Parallel System (Up to 6kW/~ 100kWh)
Links up to three Apex 200 units via HUB A1 to deliver 6kW continuous AC output and ~100kWh total capacity for whole-home backup.
3kW Solar Input, 280V High-Voltage
For extended outage and off-grid independence, the Apex 200 delivers up to 3kW of high-voltage solar input across two independent channels—combining a 2kW high-voltage MC4 input (60V–280V MPPT range) and a 1kW low-voltage XT60 input. When paired with an array of high-efficiency SORA 500 portable solar panels to maximize its 3kW input capacity, the system tops up the battery from 0 to 80% in just 50 minutes and achieves a full 100% charge in 1.7 hours using solar energy alone. Combined with wall AC, gas generators, and vehicle charging, it serves as a flexible home battery backup system built for both severe weather and outdoor adventures.
RV-Ready: Native RV Ports in a Smaller Footprint
Built for tight camper vans and travel trailers, the Apex 200 packs heavy-duty capability into a compact 26.9kg, 36.2L enclosure. Powered by BLUETTI UltraCell™ technology, it achieves an industry-leading volumetric energy density of 70.7 Wh/L, tucking effortlessly under RV seating or in tight pass-through storage without sacrificing cabin space. Equipped with 10 versatile output ports, it simplifies the connection without extra adapters:
- Native 30A TT-30R RV Port:
Plugs directly into travel trailer shore power inlets for seamless 120V power.
- Heavy-Duty 12V/30A Anderson Port:
Directly powers heavy-draw 12V appliances—such as portable fridges and communication gear—with zero conversion loss.
When traveling between campsites, the system can also pair with the Charger 2, the alternator & solar dual charger for faster on-the-go charging.
Industry-First Smart AC Control
The Apex 200 introduces an industry-first feature to the portable power station market: four independently controllable smart AC outlets. Through the BLUETTI App, users can remotely switch individual outlets, set automated operation schedules, apply state-of-charge controls, and preserve stored energy for priority loads during extended blackouts.
The system also provides 15ms UPS switching for sensitive electronics and integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant ecosystems. When AC output is enabled with the display off, idle consumption drops to just 10.5W, helping preserve stored energy during extended standby periods.
Availability and Pricing
The Apex 200 portable power station officially launches on November 4, offering its lowest standalone price of $1,099 for the first 14 days (regularly $1,399). Following this initial launch window, standalone pricing will step up through December 5 before returning to its regular price, while selected bundle prices will remain unchanged throughout the entire launch period. Customers can also use code BLUETTI5OFF at checkout for an extra 5% off all bundles.
