Jackery solar power stations are now even better thanks to improved technology

Sometimes the world of technology can be really exciting. We see the absolute pinnacle of modern innovation, from natty new phones to powerful internal processing upgrades.

While it might not be as sexy as some of the tech on offer, the world of portable solar power stations has grown rapidly in recent years. Riding the crest of that wave since it first emerged is a brand called Jackery .

The brand first released its Explorer 240 model back in 2018, and has continued to innovate ever since. In 2020, the brand unveiled its second product - the Explorer 1000. That snagged a larger 1kWh capacity, suitable for those looking to power even more of their devices on the move.

Now, the brand has unveiled the v2 versions of its range. Far from being a huge redesign, these models make gentle upgrades and revisions to offer a familiar, yet improved product. The aim is clear: to deliver iconic power, with elevated performance versus their competitors.

Let’s kick off with the Explorer 1000 v2 . A 1.07kWh capacity should be more than enough to meet the demands of just about any user. Couple that with a high 1,500W power output, and users will find themselves able to power all manner of hungry devices, like refrigerators, kettles and air conditioners.

Despite all of that power inside, the unit is still remarkably lightweight. At just 11kg, this is a portable power solution worthy of the name! Add in the dimensions - which see this 20% smaller than the brand’s E1000 model - and it’s not hard to see why this has been such a popular option.

Of course, it’s not just power and performance which matters with a power station - you also need a decent charging speed. Fortunately, the E1000 v2 offers fantastic charging performance to complement the rest of the spec sheet.

Users have a range of options for their charging needs. Quiet charging prioritises a minimal amount of interruption, topping out at just 22dB. That charges in five hours, but if you need it quicker, you’ll find fast charging which can fully repower the device in just 1.7 hours.

That mode will now boost the overall lifespan of the battery, too, with a 30% increase. Users will find themselves with improved battery health and better long-term performance. The E1000 v2 features the AI-supported ChargeShield 2.0 technology for optimal safety and battery protection. In an emergency? Jackery E1000 v2 reaches a full charge in just 1 hour using an app-controlled emergency mode.

Its baby brother - the Explorer 240 v2 - also packs in a great spec sheet. The 256Wh battery outputs at 300W, allowing you to comfortably power a wide array of smaller devices. You’ll get simultaneous five-port output, too, ensuring you never have to sacrifice one amenity to give life to another.

If you’re on the hunt for a portable power solution, and are looking to buy into a brand with heritage and an innovative mindset, Jackery - in particular the new Explorer 1000 v2 and Explorer 240 v2 models - are a great choice.
