The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 portable power station is one of those products that you don’t think you need, until suddenly you’ll wish you had grabbed one. This emergency solar generator happens to be on sale right now for nearly half off. Normally priced at $1,300 (for the 1500W AC battery and bundled 200W solar panel), the Explorer 1000 v2 is down to just $699. That’s a savings of $601.
This a super handy gadget to keep around in your garage or the back of your car. If there’s ever an emergency, you’ll be glad you have some serious power backup. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 can keep essential devices running in a pinch, like your phone, fridge, or even a small heater, should you find yourself suddenly without power.
Charging your phone or tablet is a breeze with the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2. It can juice up your mobile devices up to 7.5 times faster than the first-gen model. With six available ports, you can charge multiple devices simultaneously, so you’re not having to pick and choose who gets topped off. Those six ports include three standard AC outlets that offer 1500W of pure sine wave power. Plus, there are two USB-C ports (one with 100W output and another with 30W) and a USB-A port capable of delivering 18W. You’ll have no problem keeping everything powered up during an outage, and everyone in the household gets their turn.
Fast-Charging
Recharging the Jackery itself isn’t a time-consuming process either. With standard charging, you can get the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 back up to full capacity in about 1.7 hours. Need it faster? You can activate “super charging” mode through the Jackery app on your phone. That shaves off some time and gets the power station fully charged in just an hour. Of course, if you’re looking for a more peaceful experience, you can also set it to “quiet mode,” which reduces noise to just 22dB (about the sound of a whisper) and recharges over the span of five hours.
Don’t overlook the solar panel included with the package. It can recharge the Jackey Explorer 1000 v2 in about three hours, which gives you more options when it comes to powering up. That’s great for anyone who wants to be a little more eco-friendly or for those who spend time in places where access to power outlets is a luxury. Think weekend camping trips.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 can last for about 4,000 charging cycles, which means you’re looking at roughly 10 years of solid, reliable performance. It’s a worthwhile investment, even if you don’t need it every day.
