Power up your adventures: Jackery’s premium portable power station improves on a classic 

You’re deep in the heart of a national park, surrounded by towering trees and the gentle sounds of nature. As night falls, you reach for your phone to capture the stunning sunset, only to see that dreaded low battery warning. But instead of panicking, you smile — because you’ve got a Jackery Explorer power station by your side. Phew. 

For outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers, having a reliable power source can make all the difference between a good trip and a great one (while, in some cases, avoiding disasters altogether). Now, Jackery — the brand that’s been powering outdoor adventures since 2018 — has upped the ante with its latest offerings — the Explorer 1000 v2 and Explorer 240 v2 Power Stations. 

So without further ado, let’s dive into what makes these power stations the must-have gear for your next outdoor escapade. 

Explorer 1000 v2: power that lasts 

The Explorer 1000 v2 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a complete reimagining of what a portable power station can be. Boasting a hefty 1070Wh capacity, this portable powerhouse is versatile enough to meet a wide range of energy demands, whether you’re camping in the wilderness, or even preparing for an emergency at home. 

With a high output of 1500W, it can effortlessly run high-power essentials like refrigerators, kettles, and even portable air conditioners. Fancy a proper cuppa in the great outdoors? No problem. Need to keep your drinks cool in the scorching summer heat? The Explorer 1000 v2 has you covered. 

But don’t let its power fool you — at just 11kg, it’s astonishingly lightweight and compact. In fact, Jackery has managed to reduce its volume by 20% and weight by 31% compared to the 1000 Pro model, making it a breeze to transport and store. In short, it’s a veritable portable power plant that you can easily toss into the boot of your car. 

Naturally, safety is paramount too, with the Explorer 1000 v2 featuring Jackery’s advanced ChargeShield 2.0 Technology. This impressive system incorporates no fewer than 62 protection mechanisms, 12 forms of Battery Management System protection, and four forms of physical protection. How’s that for peace of mind? 

If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a handy Emergency Super Charging mode. Activated via the Jackery App, this function allows you to fully charge the unit in just one hour — a game-changer for unexpected power needs and/or for those moments when you’ve forgotten to charge overnight. Its regular fast charging capabilities are no slouch either — its battery can be charged in 1.7 hours while also boosting overall lifespan by 30%, letting you spend less time waiting, and more time exploring. 

And for those concerned about noise pollution (because nothing ruins a peaceful campsite like the drone of a generator), the Explorer 1000 v2 doesn’t disappoint. Its Quiet Charging mode operates at a whisper-quiet 22

B, allowing for a full charge in just five hours, without disturbing the peace of your campsite or home. 

Explorer 240 v2: tiny but mighty 

If you’re after something more compact without sacrificing performance, the Explorer 240 v2 is your go-to power companion. As the smallest 300W power station on the market (weighing in at just 3.6kg and measuring a mere 231x153x168mm, it’s the epitome of portability. Its foldable handle makes it even easier to carry and store — perfect for those who value space efficiency or have a habit of overpacking (we’ve all been there). 

Don’t let its size fool you though — this little powerhouse packs a punch. With a durable LFP battery ensuring 3000 life cycles and 10 years of reliability, it’s built to last. The 100W PD two-way fast charging feature also allows for convenient charging and discharging with a single cable, eliminating the need for multiple adapters and reducing cable clutter. 

Versatility is also a big win for the Explorer 240 v2. Its multiple ports allow for simultaneous five-port output, capable of charging everything from MacBooks and car fridges, to portable speakers and more. Whether you’re powering up your laptop for an impromptu work session in the great outdoors (we won’t judge) or keeping your portable fridge running during a weekend camping trip, the Explorer 240 v2 has your back. 

Like its larger sibling, the Explorer 240 v2 also benefits from app control and the Emergency Super Charging Mode, putting you in complete command of your power needs. This smart integration allows for remote monitoring and control, adding an extra layer of convenience to your outdoor power solution.
