The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 is the cheaper way to get 2kWh. Jackery lists 2,042Wh of LFP capacity and 2,200W of rated output with a 4,400W surge, enough for a refrigerator, Wi-Fi router and lights during an outage. At $999.00 it costs about $0.49 per Wh, below the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus at about $0.56. Jackery says it is 40% smaller and 34% lighter than the previous generation, and its spec table lists around 39.5 lbs, so one person can move it. It recharges from the wall in about 1.7 hours, runs under 30 dB in Quiet Mode, and carries a 3+2 year warranty. The limits show on solar and output: two DC8020 ports take 400W in total, UPS switching is under 20 ms, and it does not match the 3,000W of the EcoFlow. We compared documented features and published prices only.
