The Explorer line in brief
Jackery builds Explorer names around capacity: the 1500 holds 1,536 Wh, the 2000 holds about 2,042 Wh and the 300 holds 288 Wh. Suffixes then mark a different version, and they change real figures. The Explorer 2000 Plus puts out 3,000 W, weighs 61.5 lb, takes 1,400 W of solar and expands to 12,256.8 Wh. The Explorer 2000 v2 puts out 2,200 W, weighs 39.5 lb, takes 400 W of solar and does not expand. Across all 12 Explorers, capacity runs from 256 Wh to 5,040 Wh, with the 5000 Plus at the top. Two are no longer sold new by the maker in its US store, the 3000 Pro and the 300 Plus.
