Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus expandable power station with independently solar-chargeable battery packs for on-site energy

The summer holiday season is often prime time for renovation work, DIY projects and home improvements. More often than not, there's an irritating lack of power on site. 

So, what's the ideal solution? The Jackery 2000 Plus power station with 2042 watt hours, which can be gradually expanded to 12 kWh with up to five battery packs of 2 kWh each. With 3000 watts of output power and eight connections, it also provides enough energy for electrical devices such as drills, grinders and saws. 

While the power station powers machines indoors, the battery packs are charged with sustainable electricity outside via the foldable SolarSaga 200W solar panels. This means there's still enough energy available for projects while the LiFeP04 battery of the power station is running a bit low.

The mobile power solution supplies electronic devices with energy via eight connections – three Schuko sockets (230 volts), two USB-A (Quick Charge 3.0, 18 W), two USB-C (100 W) and a 12-volt socket with noisy and smokey petrol generators now a thing of the past. 

The power station can be charged either in the car via a 12-volt plug, particularly quickly via a 230-volt connection in just 1.7 hours or with six Jackery SolarSaga 200W solar modules in just two hours. Connected via Bluetooth or WiFi, users can control the entire system via the dedicated Jackery app.

An intelligent battery management system makes sure of system safety and extends the life of the batteries by up to 50%. 

As a result, the Explorer 2000 Plus is eminently sustainable with 4,000 complete charge and discharge cycles (to 70%) offering a service life of over 10 years with daily use. Also, the power station is especially mobile due to its nifty trolley format with two tires and an integral aluminium pull-out handle.

With a five-year warranty, the new model is available as a standalone power station, a solar generator with panel, and as discounted sets with battery packs from uk.jackery.com, Amazon.co.uk and a number of specialty retailers. 

The RRP is £1,999 for the Explorer 2000 Plus, £1,399 for a battery pack and £2,599 as a solar generator with the power station plus SolarSaga 200W module.
