For outdoor enthusiasts and mobile professionals, the quest for reliable portable power has long been plagued by compromise. Too often, portable power solutions with large capacities miss the mark by being too bulky or heavy for convenient transport – going against the entire reason that people would want them in the first place. But not any more.
In a remarkable engineering achievement, Jackery has managed to pack 2kWh of capacity into their new Explorer 2000V2 — a device so efficiently designed that it's even more compact than Jackery’s own impressively portable 1kWh model — fundamentally changing what's possible in the world of portable power.
Automotive innovation meets portable power
The Explorer 2000V2, launching on 13 February 2025, introduces an automotive-inspired innovation that transforms portable power design. At its heart lies the industry-first EV-level CTB (Cell to Body) structure – a revolutionary approach that’s similar to one used by automotive giants like Tesla and BYD in their vehicles’ integrated battery systems. Just as modern electric vehicles integrate battery packs directly into their chassis for optimal efficiency, Jackery has adapted this sophisticated engineering principle for portable power.
The implementation moves beyond the traditional three-level assembly model of regular battery packs by directly integrating battery cells into a honeycomb structure within the bottom shell. By adopting this EV-inspired approach, Jackery has achieved nearly double the space utilisation of conventional designs, reaching an impressive 59% efficiency while eliminating the need for traditional mounting brackets.
What does this new design mean in the real world? The numbers tell a compelling story. Weighing just 17.5kg and measuring 33.5 x 26.4 x 29.2cm, the Explorer 2000V2 delivers a substantial 2042Wh capacity with a 2200W output. This achievement becomes even more impressive when compared to other mainstream 2kWh LFP power stations – the physically larger Ecoflow Delta 2 Max (23 kg), Bluetti AC200L (28.3 kg), and Anker Solix Powerhouse 767 (30.5 kg) all require significantly more space and weight to deliver comparable power.
Advanced technology for enhanced performance
The Explorer 2000V2’s innovative design extends beyond mere size reduction — it also represents a significant upgrade in battery technology, featuring an advanced LiFePO4 battery that ensures enhanced durability, improved safety, and an extended lifecycle. The system is also protected by Jackery's advanced Charge Shield 2.0 technology, incorporating a GaN bidirectional inverter that reduces energy loss by 51.6% compared to the industry average of 10%. This remarkable efficiency is complemented by an incredibly impressive 10-year lifespan, with an equally impressive 4000-cycle, 70% capacity retention.
Safety stands at the forefront of design too, with 62 protective mechanisms providing dual physical protections for reliable operation. As a result, the Explorer 2000V2 has earned rigorous safety certifications from TÜV Rheinland and holds both CE and CB certifications, signifying compliance with European Union requirements for electromagnetic safety and overall product safety.
Versatility for every scenario
The Explorer 2000V2 also excels in practical applications, making it ideal for camping, outdoor fieldwork, and home emergency backup. Users can simultaneously power up to six devices through its comprehensive range of outputs — two AC ports, two USB-C ports, USB-A, and a car output thrown in for good measure.
Wall charging options include a fast charging mode that achieves 80% capacity in just 1.1 hours (and a full charge in 1.7 hours), while a whisper-quiet mode operates at less than 30 dB for undisturbed operation. For emergency situations, the flash charging mode, accessible through the companion app, can reach 80% capacity in just 52 minutes. For sustainable power users, solar charging with one or two Jackery SolarSaga 200W panels offers a fast and efficient power boost, with the panels designed for 4000 fold cycles of reliable performance.
