Jackery's Explorer 1000 Plus expandable design makes it a popular power station
The Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus is an upgrade to the Explorer 1000 Pro that Thomas Kern reviewed. The newer UPS has a large 1264 Wh battery capacity, energizing appliances like a car fridge for 45 hours or charging a drone for up to 30 times. Plus, you do get plenty of outlets to plug in your devices and appliances, including full-sized AC sockets and USB ports.
At the same time, its cells are made from LFP or lithium iron phosphate, which is known to have longer lifespan compared to conventional cells. Jackery says a 4000 charging cycles retain 70 percent of the battery health. The power station is also shock resistant and comes with a folding handle for transport.
And unlike the pro model though, the Explorer 1000 Plus' capacity can be increased up to 5 kWh using a battery pack with the same 1264 Wh rating, providing enough emergency supply for longer trips and serious power interruptions.
When it comes to refilling the Explorer 1000 Plus, using a wall outlet can fully charge the unit in just 100 minutes. If you're out in the wilderness, harnessing the sun to juice up the power station and turn it into a solar generator is supported.
