The Jackery Explorer 1000 is the benchmark portable power station for emergency preparedness: enough capacity to run a CPAP machine for 14+ nights, charge phones 100+ times, or run a full-size refrigerator for 14 hours. The 1,000W AC output handles nearly all household devices short of high-draw appliances.

Capacity and Runtime

1,002Wh means 1,002 watt-hours of capacity. A 50W load (phone chargers, LED lights, a fan) runs 20 hours. A 200W load (CPAP, laptop, small appliances) runs approximately 5 hours. A 1,000W load (small electric heater, microwave) runs about 1 hour. Plan your load budget before an emergency, not during it.

Solar Input

Jackery's SolarSaga panels pair natively with the Explorer 1000. Two 100W SolarSaga panels fully charge the unit in 5-8 hours of direct sun — providing indefinite capability in any location with sun access.
