Why Do You Need a Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh)
When it comes to essential home backup power, most people think that one large unit is enough. However, if you rely on multiple appliances across different rooms, you will need a dual unit like the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh). It lets you power the fridge and microwave in the kitchen and use a laptop and TV in the work-from-home setup. Here are the four key reasons that make the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) a reliable choice:
Benefit 1: Multi-Purpose Power for Multiple Rooms
Most power stations are designed to power appliances in one room. But what if your fridge needs power in your kitchen, and your kids want to watch TV in the living room at the same time? This is where the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) comes into the picture. It has two portable power stations that allow you to power appliances in multiple rooms.
For example, you can dedicate one unit to powering essential kitchen appliances, such as refrigerators, and another to powering lights, TVs, and other devices in the living room, bedroom, or work-from-home setup. In short, the new Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) can power your core kitchen appliances along with other flexible spaces in homes.
Here is a list of essential kitchen appliances with the runtimes when powered by the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station:
- Refrigerator (400W) = 4.0H
- Microwave (1000W) = 1.6H
- LED Lighting (10W) = 59.8H
- Coffee Maker (800W) = 2.0H
- Induction Cooktop (1000W) = 1.6H
Similarly, you can power other essential appliances in the kitchen, living room, or work-from-home spaces with the second Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station:
- TV (100W) = 14.2H
- WiFi Router (25W) = 38.9H
- Portable AC (1000W) = 1.6H
- Laptop (100W) = 14.2H
- Desk Lights (100W) = 14.2H
Hence, the two units in the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) ensure that you can cover essentials and comforts simultaneously.
Benefit 2: Cost-Effective Compared to a 3kW Product
You might expect the 4kWh product to cost more than a single 3kWh product. However, that's not the case with the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh). Jackery's current promo pricing offers the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) at just $1,399, which is less than a Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro Portable Power Station available at $2,499. Besides the upfront savings of up to $1,100, you can also reduce your electricity bills.
Let's take an example to understand better:
Suppose you have a refrigerator (400W) that runs for 8 hours a day. The daily power consumption will be 3200Wh or 3.2 kWh. If the electricity rate in your area is 15.95 cents per kWh, you will have to pay $15.31 monthly and $183.74 yearly.
Over 10 years (the expected lifespan of LiFePO4 batteries), you can save up to $1837.44. That's the savings just for powering the refrigerator with the power station. If you run multiple appliances at home with the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh), you can save a lot of money.
Benefit 3: Compact and Highly Portable
According to the 2024 Sullivan & Associates Industry reports, the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station is the lightest and smallest 2kWh LFP battery on the market. Each unit is built for grab-and-go portability, which makes the kit ideal for emergency evacuations, outdoor adventures, and backyard parties.
Each Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station in the kit is 40% smaller and 34% lighter compared to other similar-capacity products on the market. Weighing just 17.9 kg and featuring a foldable handle, each unit can easily be carried to different locations or moved around the home.
The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station is lighter than other models in Jackery’s lineup. At just 17.9 kg or 39.5 lbs, it weighs 10 kg less than the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (27.9 kg or 61.5 lbs), despite the same 2042Wh capacity. It is also notably lighter than the Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro, which weighs 29 kg or 63.93 lbs.
Benefit 4: Backup for Your Backup
The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) offers two independent power stations. This means if one unit runs out of power, the second one can still keep the critical appliances and devices running. It not only gives you continuous power but also gives you other options. For example, you can use one in the kitchen, while the other power station is powering appliances in the bedroom.
In addition, when one portable power station is recharged with compatible solar panels, the other unit can power essential appliances. The best part is that the dual-unit kit is priced competitively with many single-unit and expansion battery solutions. If you are a homeowner who prioritizes reliability and double peace of mind, the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) sounds like an ideal choice.
Comparing Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) and Explorer 3000 Pro
The Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro Portable Power Station features an NMC battery with a 3024Wh capacity. On the other hand, both units in the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Kit (4kWh) feature a highly efficient LiFePO4 battery with a capacity of 2042Wh each.
