# Buying Guide: How to Choose a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station
Understanding Portable Power Stations
Portable power stations like the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 are versatile power solutions that provide electricity when you’re off-grid or during power outages. Before making your purchase, it’s important to understand what makes these devices valuable and how to select the right one for your needs.
Battery Capacity and Chemistry
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 features a 1070Wh LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. When comparing models:
- Look for higher Wh (Watt-hour) ratings for longer runtime
- LiFePO4 batteries offer better durability and longer cycle life than standard lithium-ion
- Consider how much capacity you’ll need based on your devices and usage duration
Power Output Capabilities
The Explorer 1000 v2 offers 1500W AC output and 100W USB-C output. When evaluating power output:
- Check the number and type of output ports (AC, USB-A, USB-C, 12V)
- Verify the wattage capacity can handle your devices (1500W is sufficient for most appliances except high-draw items like heaters)
- Look for pure sine wave inverters for sensitive electronics
Charging Speed and Options
Fast charging capabilities are important for convenience. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 offers 1-hour fast charging. Consider:
- How quickly the unit recharges from different sources
- Available charging methods (wall outlet, car, solar)
- Solar charging compatibility and efficiency
Portability and Design
Since these are meant to be portable, physical characteristics matter:
- Weight (lighter units are easier to transport)
- Handle design and ergonomics
- Dimensions (should fit in your vehicle or storage space)
- Durability for your intended environment (camping, construction sites, etc.)
Additional Features
Modern power stations often include helpful extras:
- Built-in LED lighting
- Display showing battery percentage, input/output wattage
- Bluetooth/app connectivity for remote monitoring
- Pass-through charging (use while charging)
Price and Value
Portable power stations represent a significant investment:
- Compare price per watt-hour across models
- Consider warranty length and terms
- Look for bundles that include solar panels if you need them
- Watch for seasonal sales or promotions
Real-World Applications
Consider how you’ll actually use the power station:
- Camping and outdoor recreation
- Emergency home backup for essential devices
- Remote work locations
- RV or van life power supply
Customer Reviews and Reliability
Before finalizing your purchase:
- Read customer reviews focusing on long-term reliability
- Check for common issues or complaints
- Research the manufacturer’s customer service reputation
- Look for reviews from users with similar needs to yours

Very well built. Compact power house. Will run a 42” tv and a Starlink for hours. A must have for power outages. Fast charging even with the solar panels. The ability to monitor and adjust the unit with Bluetooth is a nice feature. I have owned other units in the past but none as good as the Jackery 1000 v2.
Good purchase.

Upon reception, the “generator” had 28% charge left (that was expected), so I tried the panels. And, of course, this is late november, the sky is overcast, and I am trying it from inside the house, definitely not optimal. But the panels were giving up to 20W, it may not be much but it showed me that they were working.
I have since been testing it on various electrical items to check the longevity of a charge, and so far, I am impressed with this item. Now I will have to buy the car 12V adapter, it will prove useful from time to time.
Note that you can connect a USB cable directly onto the solar panel cable.
I ordered through Amazon, since I did not wish to create another account with Jackery. Upon purchase, Jackery contacted me to inform me that the shipping will come in more than one parcel. It was shipped and received within a couple of work days. The packaging is solid almost military grade.
I definitely recommend this item.

To start with, I love my Jackery Explorer 300 and took a chance on the Explorer 1000 and not disappointed.
This is copy of my review for DJI Portable Power Station 1000 Vs the Jackery Explorer 1000. I hope to help others when comparing these two popular power stations that are both known for reliability. In the end for a quick read, the Jackery Explorer out performed the DJI Portable Power Station by quite a bit. Great job Jackery! Here is my slightly edited review:
I purchased the DJI Power 1,000 Portable Power Station for emegencies as well as camping and such. I do own a Jackery Explorer 300 as well as a Jackery Exporer 1000. Today I tested the Jackery Explorer 1000 (1500W rating) as well as the DJI Power 1000 (2200W rating). I’ve had the Jackery 1000 for maybe a month and the DJI for about 1 week and both were new up to today and charged to 100% for the first time for this test. I connected each to a 1000W heater (Presto Heat Dish) which is a reflective type heater with no fan/blower, just a heating element reflected off what looks like a satellite dish.
I put the heater at highest setting and it was rated at about 1045-1047 watt output according to both battery power stations. I tried to run them both for ONE hour and see what percentage of the battery power stations was left after the hour.
The Jackery Exporer 1000 had 40% battery life after 1 one hour which was good, so I first thought. After trying the DJI 1000, the Jackery was apparently very good. The Jackery never really got too warm and was super quiet.
The DJI Power 1000 could not make it to one hour. I shut it down after 45 minutes as it only had 7% battery life left. I never run them to zero and 7% was much lower than I like to run them to, but wanted to milk this until at least 45 minutes, which I did. The fan area near the power switch area of the DJI was pretty warm and the other side fan area was cool, near the outlets. The DJI also had noticeable fan noise, but it was just noticeable and not loud. I also noticed after getting the DJI Power 1000 that it didn’t have the cigarette lighter receptacle (12V DC) like the Jackery did, which I overlooked.
The Jackery is about 2/3 the weight of the DJI and has a swing handle across the top like most smaller power stations do. The DJI had two fixed grips, one on each side which seem more sturdy, but not as convenient to carry around.
I don’t usually rate and review two named items in a review but both are great names with reliabilty and known quality. I’m just sad to say that the DJI did not live up to my expectations and relly disappointed. Hopefully they will get the battery management taken care of in future models. With the DJI rated another 700 watts than the Jackery, I guess I expected more. If I were to put a 2200 watt device on the DJI Power 1000, I’m not sure it would last a half hour.
I would recommend the Jackery Exporer 1000 very easily after my test. jackery is quiet, reliable and the energy used is very well managed within the system.

This Jackery is a must for any camping trip. The Jackery has a handle for easy carrying and not too heavy. It charges multiple devices at once with a variety of ports. Great alternative to a battery/converter set up. Great price for it’s versatility. It lasts 2-6 days depending on what your using it for. It charges in an about an hour.

But I didn’t!
So far this thing has blown me away on its initial outing. I have never used something like this before. I got this instead of a small gas jenny.
It filled 3 queen size air mattresses, 4 Single Tubes (nice ones) a 4 person party island. Charged every electronic device shoved at it, 6 cell phones, a few battery packs, a few (honestly unknown) flashlights, a bunch of kids radios a few times, a mosquitoes coil thing a couple times and we used it to power a USB light off and on for realistically not that long. It only took it down to 71%, so I got home, and plugged in a big box fan and ran it for three hours. It took it down to 60% I am blown away by this.
It shows right on the display the power you are pulling and how long it will last at that level. You can turn the outlets on or off at the AC side or the USB outlets.
With it plugged in and charging it tells you how long it will take.
The solar panels have a charging cable that has a USB port right in it, I never it though.
I reckon if I kept the solar panels adjusted pretty regularly it would take the time quoted to get them charged. That hasn’t been what I have done, but they seem to be doing the job.
Not only would I buy this again. I started show boating it to my friends.
I think this little thing isn’t just functional, it’s awesome.
I might be older then I thought…

Works great! Compact and easy to use. Ran 2 refrigerators and 2 chest freezers along with some small stuff for 4 hours (went to zero). The only complaint is how small and dim the screen is. Also the price, I would expect technology to be better so that the price would be lower. The next unit up should actually cost the amount that I paid for this one. The solar panels look very well made and ready for rugged use. I have not used them yet.

This thing is amazing

I’ve been using my Jackery for a couple of months now to power my Starlink in my truck and recharge all kinds of batteries and speakers while out camping. This unit is super handy with the solar panels! They keep up to everything I plug in to it when it’s sunny. Would highly recommend this product to anyone who’s looking for portable power.
On a side note: I need to praise Jackery for their customer service. This probably went on sale ($1399) a short while after I bought it ($1799.) I requested a refund from them and they were quick and professional in issuing one. After a ton of negative experiences on Amazon with uncooperative companies, this was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you, Jackery!

Upon receipt I immediately put the unit through a series of tests and everything work perfectly, exactly as describe. Power output, charging times, wall charging and solar charging matched the state values in time and energy output and input. Solar charging on a sunny day in TX was as describe by Jackery. Easy to use.

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.
