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. | 3,072 Wh |
| 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. | Up to 4,000 charge cycles, which Jackery says is about 10 years of use. The capacity left after 4,000 cycles is not stated. |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated. The page lists the question 'Is the Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 expandable?' without a visible answer. |
| 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. | 3,600 W pure sine wave. Three 230 V 13 A sockets. |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 7,200 W |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 18 W each |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports, 100 W each |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 12 V car port. Its rating is not stated. |
| Wireless chargingA pad on the unit that charges a compatible phone without a cable. | Not stated |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | Charging power not stated. Jackery's charge time is 1.8 hours. |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 0-100% in 1.8 hours. With AC and DC (54 V) charging together, 1.4 hours. |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 1,000 W maximum. Jackery says it takes up to four SolarSaga 200 W panels. |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | 3.5 hours with 1,000 W of solar and 22 hours with one 200 W SolarSaga panel (Jackery's laboratory figures) |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | 36 hours from a 12 V car socket. Solar and car charging cannot run at the same time. |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Under 20 ms (the page also says 0.02 seconds or less) |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Yes. Jackery lists UPS with pass-through charging. |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 41.6 × 32.5 × 30.5 cm (16.4 × 12.8 × 12 in), as listed by Jackery (axis order not stated) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | About 27 kg (59.5 lbs) |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Not stated. Jackery says ChargeShield 2.0 keeps charging safe at up to 45 °C. |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | As low as 27 dB at 25 °C and a 20% load, in the app's silent charging mode (Jackery laboratory figure) |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not stated |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 3+2 years |
How long will it run your devices?
Choose how many of each device you want to run at the same time. The wattages are typical figures, so check the label on your own 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.

Where this information comes from
We have not tested the Explorer 3000 v2. Every figure above comes from Jackery's UK product page for this model, last checked on 11 November 2026. The page's specification table compares the 3000 v2 with a smaller model, so ports, charging and noise come from the feature text. A value the page does not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about Jackery Explorer 3000 v2
Can the Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 run a kettle?
Yes. It is rated for 3,600 W continuous output, and Jackery's own example shows an 850 W kettle boiled about 16 times. Add up the watts of everything you run at once and stay below 3,600 W.
How long does it take to charge?
Jackery quotes 1.8 hours from the mains to 100%, or 1.4 hours with AC and DC (54 V) charging together. Solar takes 3.5 hours at 1,000 W.
Is the Explorer 3000 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.
