Jackery unveils Explorer 1000 v2 power station utilizing LFP batteries and AI-controlled charging

Jackery has unveiled the 1070 watt-hour Explorer 1000 v2 power station utilizing LFP batteries and AI-controlled charging. The variable-speed AI charging enables the unit to quick-charge in one hour and last up to 4000 charge cycles with a maximum capacity drop of 30%. The small station can be used to power refrigerators, medical devices, laptops, and more at home or on-the-go during emergency blackouts.

The Jackery recharges in as fast as one hour when connected to the AC plug, 7.5 hours when connected to two 100-watt solar panels, and 12 hours when connected to the 12-volt plug in cars. Poor charging algorithms affect the ability of rechargeable batteries to charge to their design maximums and the longevity of the cells. To counter this, the Explorer incorporates ChargeShield 2.0 technology using variable-speed, AI-controlled charging to maximize battery health. The station also uses LFP batteries, which are more resistant to catching fire when damaged or overheated, rather than NCM batteries.

The 1000 v2 has a maximum power output of 1500 watts. The status of the Explorer can be monitored from a smartphone in addition to the built-in status display. The Explorer is rated as an uninterruptible power supply with a 20 msec switching time, allowing it to continue operating medical devices during sudden blackouts. Not all devices can handle a power loss of 20 msec, so users must test their critical devices beforehand to ensure uninterrupted operations.

As with all battery-based power stations, solar panel charging does not work at night, so when the Explorer is depleted at night off-grid, there is no way to continue running devices such as medical equipment until the sun comes up. Also, the 14° F to 113° F (-10° C to 45°C) operating range means the Jackery is not well-suited for use in severe winters or desert environments. A gas power generator (like this one on Amazon) would be a better choice when blackouts or emergencies last longer than a day.

The Explorer 1000 v2 weighs 23.8 pounds (10.8 kg) and measures 12.87 x 8.82 x 9.72 inches (32.7 x 22.4 x 24.7 cm), which is 18% smaller than the prior model. The unit has a household AC input and a 12V car input for charging. Two 8mm DC inputs allow for solar panel charging. The power station has multiple outputs including two 1500-watt AC outputs, a 18-watt USB-A output, a 30-watt USB-C output, and a 100-watt USB-C output for powering common electronics and appliances at home or on-the-go. The built-in cooling fan has a noise level under 22 dB for nearly silent operation.

The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is available for $799 (here on Amazon). Readers wanting to charge the Explorer outdoors can pick up a solar panel for $299 (here on Amazon).
