Great product at great price
Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 Review:I’m referring to the equipment as portable power station / PPS / battery.PERFORMANCE:It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition, with 30% charge. Charging was very simple. There is a quiet charging mode, which takes 3x duration to full charge, but is also quieter. I thought full charge speed was a nice, quiet, pleasant white / no need for the quiet charge option. Quiet charging is unneeded for us, but a neat feature.I didn’t realize when shopping that there was a light on the power station (dim, bright, SOS pattern options), so that’s good. I created a Jackery account and paired the device with the app, which was all simple. I guess the best part of the app is being able to remotely see the % battery left. For what it’s worth though, you can remotely turn on each segment of the power station (DC / USBs, AC / normal wall outlets, and the light) too.We unplugged the fridge from the wall and plugged it into the PPS. Treated the fridge as we normally do, opening when we needed to take something out / put something in, dispensing water. It lasted for 21.3 hours.The battery also has pass-through charging, meaning you can plug the PPS into the wall while power is on, and the fridge (or other equipment) will charge from the battery. If we’re away from the house while the power comes back on, the fridge will switch to being powered from the wall (via the PPS) while the battery starts to recharge in preparation for the next power loss event. The charging speed during pass-through charging is roughly the same as charging while not powering anything (~1500W). We also tested pass-through charging by turning the breaker off (simulating power loss) while the fridge was plugged into the PPS and the PPS plugged into the wall. The transition from pass-through to battery was seamless. The fridge lights never even flickered through wall-power loss and through changing back to pass-through charging.Given this capability, I could see using it as a battery backup for our sump pump, with the sump pump always plugged into the PPS, which would always be plugged into the wall. _________(I haven’t dont research to verify if there will be any effect on life of product if used that way.)__________ The alternative is the PPS sitting in on a shelf in the basement, waiting to either be manually deployed as a fridge backup, or in the rare case of outdoor camping use.WEIGHT:When I first picked it up, I was happy we went with Jackery, being the least heavy among competitors (EcoFlow, Anker, Bluetti). At 40 lbs, it’s heavy for sure, but much more manageable for taking up/down the stairs than competitors’ 50-60 lb devices of equal capacity. I was also able to hoist it onto the counter when needed.PRICE:Black Friday, 2024:We purchased from Amazon on Black Friday for $800 ($900, plus a $100 “coupon” that you just need to click the checkbox for). At the time, Jackery was selling for $900 (no coupon). I found the Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 to be comparable, but ~$100-200 lower cost than competitors mentioned above.Dec6, 2024:Amazon is back to selling for the regular listed price of $1500, with no sale. Jackery is back to the regular listed price of $1500, but with a $600 “coupon” automatically applied at checkout. This sale is the “Christmas Sale!” December 3-8. So Jackery’s Black Friday sale wasn’t exclusive to Black Friday.Dec12, 2024:Amazon: sale for $900Jackery: sale for $1100 (listed at $1500, with $400 coupon)LONGEVITY:I have only had this product for about a week, so I can not speak to the longevity of the product.

The solar panels are awesome. Fast charge with 400 watt when you use both panels.
The Jackery came fully charged. I brewed a pot of coffee which brought the charge to 94%. Coffee pots are power gobblers. I then ran our 34-inch TV for 2 days. Shut off overnight. I then powered a 3-way lamp for about 6 hours to bring the power to 10%. I was interested in the solar charging. Other reviews had some trouble with their panels, so I worried. I shouldn’t have. I am very pleased with its charging and speed. I hooked up both panels. The display said it would take 6 hours to charge. The rate was 397 watts, up to 400. The panels have circle and dot to help with angle placement for maximum charging. I did have to realign to keep optimum charging. I believe it would have charge in 6 hours had it not turned partly cloudy. It was done at 8 hours. The portability will make it excellent for camping. But I did get this one because my smaller power units could not handle a coffee pot when a storm killed our power. I like the capacity of this big one. Even though it can charge a phone, this big hog will be used for more substantial energy needs. Its functions simple and easy. I now have 3 of varying capacity. The 290, 500 and 2000. I am ready for fun and mild inconvenience.

wifi connection
I just received it and haven’t had a need to use it. But, my rating is based on the fact that after a dozen attempts I could not connect to wifi. I have successfully connected many computer items via Bluetooth and wifi over the years but failed on the wifi on this one ( Bluetooth worked). If I ever get wifi to work with this thing I might change my rating.Got the wifi to work finally. Other than my connection frustration, it seems like a clean solid unit. I changed the rating to 4 star and maybe adjust it again if I have a power outage and actually get to use it.

This is absolutely amazing .. I use it for local power outage .. I am in a location that requires me to pump all house waste water into the city sewer .. with more frequent outages I decided to invest in a Jackery this year .. I am so happy I did .. It is more than sufficient to run the pump as needed.. connect wifi .. I can run my sewing machine, lights, the kettle .. and I purchased an electric blanket to keep warm as furnace adaptation is a bit costly. This Jackery will cover me for days if need be .. most outages are resolved within 12 hours .. I’m so happy with this… no fuel needed generator .. if you live in an apartment, condo, or just don’t want to mess with fuel and cords through a window .. this is a great solution .

This purchase has almost payed for itself with how much less I have needed to run my generator. Also I have some panels on the way.There are really good reasons to buy a unit like this. too many to talk about.

I put this power station on my van, and power my mini fridge.When I come back to my van, the app always loses connection with it. I have to push DC and AC buttons simultaneously to start its Bluetooth! I put it in a deep corner, it’s hard to reach it!My old Lifepo4 battery was used for years, it always connected to my phone automatically when I close it.It is very disappointed that Jackery has no this function. I would never perched this product if I knew earlier.Here is what you should read before you buy:Bluetooth and Wi-Fi shuts down after 5 minutes when no connection is detected or if connected device goes out of range from the unit. To turn it back on, simply press AC and DC buttons at the same time for 3 seconds and you will be able to reconnect with the Jackery App.
