Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 1000 v2

The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is the long-awaited upgrade to the legendary original, rebuilt from the ground up with a durable LiFePO4 battery and a massive power boost. Designed for camping, RV living, and home backup, it features a 1070Wh capacity and a powerful 1500W AC inverter, capable of running high-wattage appliances like portable A/C units, coffee makers, and blenders that the previous generation could not handle.

Why Choose Explorer 1000 v2

This “v2” model fixes the biggest limitation of the original Explorer 1000: battery lifespan. By switching to LiFePO4 chemistry, the Explorer 1000 v2 lasts 4x longer, offering over 4,000 charge cycles compared to the original’s 500. It also charges incredibly fast—going from 0 to 100% in just 1 hour via wall outlet—so you are never left waiting before a trip.

Benefits of Explorer 1000 v2

• Built to Last 10+ Years: The LFP battery is rated for 4,000 cycles, meaning you could discharge it every single day for 10 years and still have 70% of the original capacity left.

• Powers 90% of Appliances: With 1500W continuous output (and a 3000W surge), it easily powers resistive heating loads like electric grills, space heaters, and hair dryers.

• Emergency Ready: Features a UPS mode with a <20ms switchover time, keeping your computer, router, or CPAP machine running uninterrupted during sudden blackouts.

• Smart Control: Connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Jackery App to monitor battery levels, customize charging speeds, and turn ports on/off remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the main difference between this and the old Explorer 1000?

The biggest difference is the battery. The v2 uses LiFePO4 (4000+ cycles) versus the original’s NCM Lithium (500 cycles), making it last nearly 10x longer. The v2 also charges in 1 hour (vs. 7.5 hours) and has a higher 1500W output (vs. 1000W).

Q2: Can I use my old Jackery solar panels?

Yes, but you may need an adapter. The Explorer 1000 v2 uses the modern DC8020 connector. If your old panels have the smaller DC7909 (8mm) connector, you will need a DC7909-to-DC8020 adapter (often included or sold cheaply).

Q3: Can it run a heater?

Yes. With 1500W of output, it can run most space heaters (typically 1500W) on their high or medium settings, though this will drain the battery in under 45 minutes. It is better suited for running heaters on lower settings or for short bursts.

Q4: Is it waterproof?

No. The Explorer 1000 v2 is not waterproof. Keep it dry and away from rain.

Q5: Can I expand the capacity with extra batteries?

No. The Explorer 1000 v2 is a standalone unit and cannot be expanded with extra battery packs. If you need expandability, look at the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus.
