Specifications
Last checked on 10 November 2026. The grey text under each name explains what the value means.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 1,024 Wh |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LiFePO4 (LFP) |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | Up to 4,000 charge cycles; the page also says 4,000 cycles to 70% capacity and a life of up to 10 years |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated for this model. The battery pack on the page is for the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 and 2000 Plus v2. |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | 1,500 W rated. The number of AC sockets is not stated. |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | Not stated |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 1 port, 18 W |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports: 100 W and 30 W |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 DC 12 V port; the wattage is not stated |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | Input wattage not stated |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | The page gives three figures: 1.25 hours, 1.7 hours and 2 hours for a full charge. Emergency charging through the app takes 50 minutes (another part of the page says under an hour). |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | Maximum watts and voltage not stated for this model |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | 7.5 hours with two 100 W panels |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Up to 10 ms in the feature list; the UPS section says under 20 ms |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 31.4 × 20.1 × 23.35 cm, as listed (the page does not say which side is which) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 10.6 kg |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Discharging -10 to 45 °C; charging 0 to 45 °C |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Under 22 dB |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 3 years standard plus 2 years extended |
How long will it run your devices?

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. Jackery does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.
Compatible with
What Jackery says this product works with. Anything not listed here is not confirmed.
- Extra batteries
- Not stated for this model.
- Solar panels
- Jackery's charging figure uses two 100 W panels. The maximum solar input is not stated on this page.
- App
- The Jackery app, used for emergency charging and to monitor battery level and solar input.
Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.
Strengths and things to check
Strengths
- Light for its size: 10.6 kg for 1,024 Wh (Jackery's figure)
- Very quiet: under 22 dB (Jackery's figure)
- LiFePO4 cells rated for up to 4,000 charge cycles
- Emergency charging in about 50 minutes through the app
Worth checking before you buy
- Jackery's page gives no surge output, no AC socket count and no maximum solar input
- The page contradicts itself on mains charging time and UPS switchover time
- 1,024 Wh is small for running a home: at the full 1,500 W it lasts well under an hour
- Not a home battery: do not connect it to your home circuits in a way that lets it feed the house

Where this information comes from
We have not tested the Explorer 1000 v2. Every figure above comes from Jackery's UK product page, last checked on 10 November 2026. The page's specification table did not load in the text we read, so some values are shown as not stated. Jackery has changed this model more than once (earlier listings showed 1,070 Wh), so check the edition you buy.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about Jackery Explorer 1000 v2
Is the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 the same as the Explorer 1000 Plus v2?
No. The Explorer 1000 Plus v2 is a different product that Jackery sells as expandable. The Explorer 1000 v2 on this page is not listed as expandable.
Can the Explorer 1000 v2 run a fridge?
Most fridges draw well under 1,500 W, so the output is rarely the limit; capacity is. Divide 1,024 Wh by the fridge's average draw for a rough running time, which will be lower in practice because of conversion losses.
Is the Explorer 1000 v2 the same as a home battery?
No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
