The Explorer 2000 v2 in brief
Packing 2,042 Wh into 39.5 lb gives the Explorer 2000 v2 51.7 Wh per pound, the second-most among the 19 stations in the 1,500 to 2,500 Wh class. Output is 2,200 W AC with 4,400 W of surge, so a refrigerator, sump pump and gas furnace blower can all start from it. On the 1,736 Wh usable estimate, the refrigerator runs 19 h to 50 h, the blower 2 h to 5.8 h and the sump pump 1.7 h to 2.2 h. Solar takes up to 400 W through a DC8020 port at 16 V to 60 V, and a full solar charge needs 6.8 h. The wall takes 1.8 h and a 12 V car socket 21.3 h. It carries a 3-year warranty, plus 2 more if bought from Jackery.
How long the Explorer 2000 v2 runs things
Times use about 85% of the rated capacity, the part left after inverter and battery losses. A 2,200 W ceiling covers a 1,575 W space heater for 1.1 h to 1.3 h and a 1,875 W hair dryer for 56 min to 58 min.
Work out your own mix of loads. A red bar means it draws more than the 2,200 W this station can supply.
How fast it refills
Solar time assumes panels reach 75% of their rating. Figure it for your state and panels.
Solar panels for the Explorer 2000 v2
Its DC8020 port takes 16 to 60 V, up to 21 A and 400 W. A panel's voltage rises in the cold, so the marks below show each one at 14 F, and a pass here keeps 10% of headroom under the maximum.

Who the Explorer 2000 v2 suits
It is the lighter way to get 2,000 Wh of storage with enough output for a sump pump and fridge. Jackery states that this product does not support 0ms switching, and its switchover is 20 ms. The Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2 lists 10 ms, 2,400 W, 6,000 cycles and 800 W of solar at 41.45 lb, and it expands to 12,288 Wh. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max has the same 2,400 W and a 5-year warranty at 44.8 lb. Solar here is capped at 400 W, so the Explorer 2000 Plus is the Jackery to look at for 1,400 W of input.
