Specifications
Last checked on 11 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. | 2,042 Wh (2,042.8 Wh, 45.6 Ah at 44.8 V, in the manual) |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LiFePO4 |
| 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. | 4,000 cycles to about 70% of original capacity |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Up to 5 add-on Battery Pack 2000 Plus units, from 2 kWh to 12 kWh (UK page). Jackery's EU page also says two Explorer 2000 Plus units can be linked in parallel for 24 kWh, and its heading mentions up to 24 kWh of extended power. |
| 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. | Up to 3,000 W. The UK page lists 3 AC outlets, 20 A maximum each. The US manual rates the whole unit at 3,000 W maximum at 120 V; the 230 V rating is not given in the sources we read. |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 6,000 W peak (US manual, 120 V). Not stated on the UK page. |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 18 W maximum each |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports, 100 W maximum each |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 port, 12 V, 10 A |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | The US manual lists a bypass mode (AC input and output, 120 V, 12 A maximum). Not stated for the UK model. |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | Charging wattage not stated for 230 V. The US manual lists 120 V, 15 A maximum. |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 1.7 hours (UK and EU pages) |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 17.5 to 60 V at 12 A per DC port, 2 DC ports, 1,400 W maximum together (US manual) |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | 2 hours with six SolarSaga 200 W panels (EU page). The UK page also says 2 hours without naming the panel setup. |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | 25 hours (UK and EU pages) |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Not stated |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | The US manual gives 47.3 × 35.94 × 37.36 cm (18.6 × 14.1 × 14.7 in) without naming the axes |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 27.9 kg (61.5 lb) |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Charging 0 to 45 °C; discharging -10 to 45 °C (US manual). The UK page says -10 to 40 °C for the power station. |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | 30 dB or less while charging in Quiet-Charging Mode (Jackery app) |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 3 years standard plus 2 years extended (applied automatically when bought from Jackery's own site) |
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.

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.

Common questions about Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus
Is the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus still on sale?
Jackery's UK page says it is discontinued, with a new version expected in late 2026, and every option shows as sold out. Jackery's EU page also shows it as sold out. Check with Jackery before you plan around it.
How far can the Explorer 2000 Plus be expanded?
Jackery's UK page says up to 5 add-on Battery Pack 2000 Plus units, taking it from 2 kWh to 12 kWh. Its EU page also says two units can run in parallel for 24 kWh, so ask Jackery which setup it supports for your plug type.
Is the Explorer 2000 Plus 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.
