Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station 1070Wh LiFePO4 Battery 1500W AC 100W USB-C Output 1 Hr Fast

Not bad, not bad at all! It was incredibly well boxed in strong cardboard and, which for items like this tells me the seller is someone who is serious about their products and how well their products present to their buyers. I've used much smaller power banks in the past and they've all been pretty reasonable, but I spend more time outdoors and needed to run more electrical units like a 1500 watt room heater, cooling fans and the ability to recharge my phone, Drone batteries, emergency battery powered jumper cables, tire inflater, etc. This is a quiet unit right around 30 dB when running or charging which is incredibly quiet, close to a quiet whisper which is very respectable IMHO especially when sleeping, listening to music at a low volume or out hunting. After unboxing the Explorer, I plugged it in to completely charge it before use as is suggested in the instructions. It came with 79% charged, so getting to 100% took only a few minutes. The app you can download has an Emergency charging option that significantly decreases the charging time which is an A+ especially on a tight schedule. I tested the USB ports to make sure they were all functioning properly, which they were. It has 3 AC inputs which is perfect for my present needs. I tested my 1500 watt Space Heater going from fan only to the first heater (750 watt) option, then to the 2nd heater (1500 watt) option and all went very smooth. The second test was to assess the ability for the, up to 3000 watt surge, as is needed in heaters and/or small 1500 watt compressors (you need to know that some types of motors may require more than the 3000 surge watts for startup and choose accordingly.) Starting the heater on HI option II (1500 watts) right off the bat showed the Explorer output climb only 1875 watts then fall to the heaters running watts of 1450. As for funtionability, everything went perfectly as described. The LED panel looks very impressive, bright and is very professionally done. It has a power saving option set at default in case you forget about it and will turn itself off after 12 hours. This option can be changed if wanted. It appears to be built very solid in case it is accidently dropped, etc. There is also a round inch or so in diameter LED light on the front panel to help one see really well even in complete darkness. There are 3 light settings: low, high and SOS modes and believe me, the light is extremely bright. If you enjoy seeing circles, it'll get you there. There's a cigarette port charging option as well as a DC recharging port that can be utilized from your vehicle's cigarette port and of course there's the standard AC recharging port as well. I was fortunate to have purchased it and the carrying bag for 41% off and compared to the other well-made generators I researched, feel the buy was an excellent choice. At first, I thought $50 bucks for the carrying bag was a bit much, but after receiving it, I'm very impressed with how well and thought out the bag is, so I am very satisfied and feel the $50 was reasonable. Overall, I give the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station and Carrying Bag a solid 5 Stars for everything I've mentioned above. As for commenting on any Cons, I feel I'd only be nitpicking so I won't waste either of our times. Read more

Bought as a gift for cpap, in case the power went out. It powered the cpap for 4 days before recharge (used about 200 a night). Really nice product and shipped fast. The panels are easy to use, even for a novice like us. Little bulky, but holds a lot of power. Holds its charge well, too. Can't wait to see it over a long haul. Might take it camping, if we get the chance. Read more

My husband has been looking for a solar generator for some time, this one checked the boxes on everything he wants. We are able to use it to run our camper during the fall time where we don’t have to use the traditional generator. It is well made and the battery lasts. It has even been used at our house in instances where we have lost power for short periods of time. It is easy to carry around, light weight, and easy to use. I highly recommend it. Read more

Works as intended and battery lasts for days. If using a heater though and it’s pulling 900watts or more the time this thing will power that is about 1-2 hours. It powers all my appliances on the go with no problem for hours on end. Sometimes all day. Read more

I am extremely happy with the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 v2 and the 200W Solar Panel. This thing is a powerhouse and a fantastic upgrade for off-grid living and emergency preparedness. The 1070Wh LiFePO4 battery and 1500W AC output handle everything I need, and the 1-hour fast charge is a game-changer. Excellent build quality—it’s a truly high-end device. The Flaw: Proprietary Solar Cable I dropped a star because of the proprietary connector cable for the solar panels. This is a huge risk for an emergency device: 1. No Spares: Jackery is constantly out of stock on replacement cables. 2. Single Point of Failure: If this single cable breaks, gets lost, or is damaged, the expensive 200W solar panel becomes completely useless when you’re out in the field. In an emergency, this lack of backup or a standard connection (like MC4) is unacceptable. I hope Jackery addresses the stock issue immediately. Verdict Highly recommended for its performance, but be aware of the solar cable dependency. Jackery needs to fix the spare cable supply or, if I had to do it over I’d buy a different solar panel to charge the generator. Read more

This might have been one of my favorite purchases of the year. The overall cost was great since it is on sale at the moment. I have done a ton of research around which system to go with and this by far takes it. Worth every penny. The power is stable and works for all of my device needs. I am able to power a diesel heater overnight while camping for my family and have plenty of power to last a few more days without charging. The overall capacity of power can easily last several days depending on use. The weight is on the higher end so its not as travel friendly but if you are overlanding like I am, the weight is irrelevant. I wouldn't take this on a hike at all. The size was a little bigger than expected so again, it is meant to stay put while camping or as emergency backup at home. I live in an area where power outages do happen at least a couple times a year but I work remote from home. This Explorer 1000 has more than enough power to take my server (2 managed POE switches, multiple cameras, router, modem, and power distribution) plus my work computer and water heater to last at least the day. Accompanied with the solar cell, it can last several days. Read more
