Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station,1070Wh,1500W

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.

Use Jackery 1000 Explorer frequently with home built camp trailer for boondocking. Powers trailer 12V system, running cpap, wife’s hairdryer (solo use), charging station, shower pump, etc. With solar panels to recharge, we are off grid for a week plus without issues. Recommend bagging, padding (pillows) and securing for washboard or rough off-road travel. Electronics do not do well with vibration or sharp, jarring movements.

Powers my boat at anchor. I bought a 110v to 50amp pigtail and plug one outlet from this unit into my shore power inlet. Once disconnected from shore power I plug in the pigtail from the Jackery 1000 and connect to the shore power inlet. Turn off unwanted breakers and turn on shore power. Power management is key of course. I turn off all high power consumers and unnecessary devices. It runs 3 small refrigerators, ice maker, and a fan for 7-8 hours. It really is amazing. Run the generator for about an hour and a half to recharge and she’s ready for another round. I want to expand for more capacity but have been very very pleased with this power station!! It’s easy to move around, charging is fast, and very easy to use.

I live in central Florida and although it is seldom, we do have power outages. Most of them are of short duration. On some occasions it could last a few days. I do have an 1800 w duel fuel inverter/generator that I have been using. The struggles with a gas generator are running cords through a window and having the cords strung around. I purchased the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 as it was one of the top brands that I have been researching. When I saw the price drop, I had to pull the trigger. My primary mission for this unit is to run the kitchen refrigerator. Anything else in my mind was a plus. For my test with the refrigerator, I ran the refer on the Jackery power supply for eight hours sitting on the kitchen counter next to the refrigerator. Starting at 100% in eight hours of continuous operation the power unit went down to 53%. Projecting this out, it might run my refer for fourteen hours. In summer months I would expect less as the compressor would run more frequently. When the compressor was running, there was a draw of 132 watts. The Jackery is so quiet that you never hear it. It is handy where it sits on the counter as we can easily plug in the toaster, blender, lights or any other device we might want. I found that I could recharge the Jackery with my gas generator at a rate of 780 watts even with the refrigerator power being supplied by the Jackery. I can power so many things with this Jackery and it is so very functional that I purchased a second Jackery Explorer 1000 v2. Now I can power the garage refrigerator at the same time, swap them around and durring an outage have the ability to charge them anytime with my gas generator outside of the garage. They are small, light weight, and have a nice handle to carry them to different locations. They will supply enough power that we can sleep all night without being concerned about any power need issues. These units in tandom with my gas generator could keep us going for weeks as it only takes a couple of hours of running the gas generator to fully charge the Jackery. Life is good!

I've had it a year now. It's great but if you're running a car refrigerator and you are full-time nomadic traveler and stay in one place for an extended period of time, say one week, you'll need something bigger. Caveat, presently I do not have enough solar to fully charge it and that will change soon. Car charging goes pretty good on long drives using my 4Runner lighter outlet. It's not quick but gets the job done. I have not tried USB-C cables yet but am purchasing 2 today. Keep an eye on the charging cord adapter ends as they could heat up if cheaper ones are purchased and/or are not connected tightly to the female port on the side of the unit. Buy extra, they're cheap and worth it. There are 2 side ports for input BTW. Wifi seems to work well when activated. I just wish it would stay on overnight instead of having to turn it back on to check power level every few hours. Good charger but I'll be upgrading in the future. My fridge is a BougrRV one zone cheapest model they had. I paid about $464 through Amazon in July 2025.

***Update and added a star, as a result of this review, Jackery called me and we had a great discussion of the problems and features. It seems that the unit will drop wifi connectivity after two hours of disconnect from Wifi and needs manual reconnect. That's not ideal architecture. I've made some recommendations on that and hopefully future firmware updates can incorporate it. The functionality of the unit differs based on its use, whether it's portable power or a UPS, I get that, but functions should follow the intended use. Anyway, very impressive service from Jackery to get a personal call.**** I use this as a power 'pass through' whereby it's plugged into mains power, and then I have it outputting AC to my heating unit through a transfer switch, so that if the power goes down, the heating unit has power continually. I can elect to power the heater from the panel via the transfer switch. I found that this Jackery unit was shutting down frequently and not providing pass-through power. IT seems there are two 'energy saving' settings that were default activated. This is odd because this defeats the whole pass-through functionality. Also, this is not 'energy saving' per se as this unit is an energy storage unit. So you're not really 'saving energy' by shutting it off after a given amount of time. The documentation with the unit is very very spare and does not address this function in any useful manner. I finally figured out that I just shut down these fairly useless 'energy saving' functions and that's that. I did reach out to tech support on it and basically I think I got back AI answers with no useful information or any understanding of my issue. For instance, I told them that I would intermittently have it shut down, and they asked for video of this. I told them it's intermittent so I don't have video. They kept asking for video. I don't think the tech support was human. Second issue is that it keeps dropping WiFi connectivity. It does this randomly, but especially unhelpful, it does it after a power outage. I had a power outage and the unit stayed on and did its job, then after the power comes back, when I especially wanted to see how much power it used, it was offline. I had to manually reconnect it when I returned to its location. This is entirely unreliable for remote access as I do use this for power backup when I am travelling in winter and heat is critical. So, the unit seems to function well (during my power outage, I was able to brew a pot of coffee off of it and used 20% of the stored power, so that's good!) but the software and interface design is poor.

Purchased to replace a much less powerful unit that stopped working. Simple to operate. On-unit screen provides charge remaining, device wattage usage during operation while testing with one device. The app allows operating from your phone (I used Bluetooth) and provides status as well. We’ll see how it goes during a power outage but so far I’m very pleased.

I purchased the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 during the Early Black Friday Discount period in November 2025 to help during the expected power outages this Winter. The biggest reason for this purchase is my great experience with the other Jackery Explorers that my family have been using for the past five years. All of my other units are still working as expected and are still at peak performance. Last year we had some rotating blackouts and I wanted to add another quick charging unit to my mix. I like the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 enough that this is my second E1000 V2. I purchased the 1st one last spring before the Summer storms from Jackery. The 1500 Watt inverter is large enough to power almost all of your kitchen counter equipment and the light weight will let you position the E1000 V2 wherever you need it. I like multiple units as this requires fewer extension cords and you can be solar charging some while using others. The E1000 V2 is just the right size for me as it has light weight, fast charging and enough battery size to complete most operations. You can easily double the battery capacity if needed by connecting a 12 Volt 100AH LiFePO4 battery to the Solar Input. The 12 Volt battery will give you 100 watts of charge to extend the battery run time. You can use this if Solar is not available or on cloudy days. You will need to recharge the Battery with a separate charger after use. One of the reasons that I chose the Jackery Explorer line is that they are reliable self contained units and do not require other equipment to operate. Some of the competition requires smart phones with special applications to use all of the features. If you have a wide area power outage it is better to have each piece of your emergency equipment able to stand alone. It is somewhat discouraging to see some of the new Jackery units requiring a smart phone for some of their features. If you live in a area where power interruptions happen, then you will find that a Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 will just make things a lot better for your family. Keep the charge topped off every 3 months and it will be ready when you need it. Note the E1000 V2 will not except a charge if the display reads 100% even after setting for enough time for the internal self discharge to drop the charge below 100%.

Tengo apenas unos días con el, pero se ve robusto y de buena calidad. Es mi primera experiencia con este tipo de productos y después de ver muchos reviews creo que esta marca esta muy solida en el mercado, ademas de un precio muy competitivo

Best price, better than Jackery site. Lightweight and effective , everyone should own a portable power station.

Si la encuentras a buen precio está bien, funciona perfecto. Ahora mismo hay más opciones que podrían tener más escalabilidad

Purchased this for our camping trips. It arrived in factory sealed packaging and was packaged very well. Unfortunately, when we opened it, the AC cable was missing. Contacted Jackery and they sent a new cable immediately. Tried it out this last weekend and it worked perfect! Will be ordering a second set of solar panels as well. Highly recommend!

Fonctionnement simple. Utilisé comme unité d'urgence.
