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. | 2,048 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. | 4,000 cycles to 70% or more of original capacity |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated for this model |
| 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. | 2,200 W rated, 230 V, 50 Hz, 10 A maximum. The specification table lists 2 AC ports; the feature text says 3 AC outlets. |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 4,400 W peak |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 1 port, 18 W maximum |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports: 100 W and 30 W maximum |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 DC 12 V port, 10 A maximum |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | A bypass mode passes mains power through to the AC outlets, up to 2,200 W (220 to 240 V, 50 Hz) |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | 220 to 240 V, 50 Hz, 10 A maximum. Charging wattage not stated. |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 77 minutes for a full charge; 69 minutes in emergency charging |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 400 W maximum, 16 to 60 V, 12 A |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | With SolarSaga 100 W panels: 27 hours with 1, 14 hours with 2, 7.5 hours with 4. With SolarSaga 200 W panels: 13 hours with 1, 7 hours with 2. |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | 24 hours; 11 to 16 V input, 8 A maximum |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | 10 ms or less (UPS function) |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 36.6 × 25.5 × 26.9 cm, as listed (the page does not say which side is which) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 18.5 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. | 30 dB or less while charging in Quiet Charging Mode. Noise when discharging is not stated. |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 3 years standard plus 2 years extended |

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.

Common questions about Jackery Explorer 2000 v2
Is the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 the same as the Explorer 2000 Plus v2?
No. The Explorer 2000 Plus v2 is a different Jackery model with a 2,400 W rated output. The Explorer 2000 v2 on this page has 2,200 W rated output and is not listed as expandable.
Can the Explorer 2000 v2 run a kettle or a heater?
Its 2,200 W rated output covers most kettles and many heaters. Jackery's own examples show a 1,800 W heater running for about an hour. Add up the watts of what you run at once and stay below 2,200 W.
Is the Explorer 2000 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.
