Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 power station drops to $899 at Amazon, £899 in UK

TechRadar reports the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 portable power station is $100 off at $899 in the US and £899 in the UK.

TechRadar said the Explorer 2000 v2 is best for homeowners and campers who need enough stored power to run appliances and equipment, rather than simply topping up portable electronics. The unit combines a 2,042Wh LiFePO4 battery with 2,200W AC output, three AC outlets, 100W USB-C charging, 20ms UPS switching and solar support. It weighs 39.5lb and measures 13.2 x 10.4 x 11.5 inches. Jackery uses LiFePO4 battery chemistry for a service life of up to 10 years, and cell-to-body construction helps keep the unit relatively compact, according to TechRadar.

In a recent 4.5-star review for TechRadar, reviewer Owain said he found the Explorer 2000 v2 "easy to use, simple to transport, and more than capable of dealing with everyday needs." TechRadar said he used it for work, running home appliances and a camping trip, and that it never even got close to running out. The review also praised its build quality and easy setup, which TechRadar said limited setup stress and gave peace of mind. TechRadar added that the power station saved its staff's sanity and hunger during power outages when the unit was tested.

The 100W USB-C PD connection can fast-charge compatible laptops, phones and other electronics without needing their regular power adapters, according to TechRadar. The 2,200W AC output across three outlets is intended to handle more demanding equipment than smaller portable batteries.

TechRadar noted that the $899 price is not close to the lowest the Explorer 2000 v2 has seen. It said the power station has been priced as low as $743.83 on Amazon earlier in the year and may be reduced further for the upcoming Black Friday. For buyers considering the unit, TechRadar recommended it for emergency home backup, camping or RV trips when reasonably portable power is needed. It advised skipping it for those who only need to keep phones, tablets and laptops charged, because a smaller power station will cost considerably less and be much easier to carry.
