Jackery Explorer 1000 PRO, 1002Wh Portable Power Station, 2 * 100W PD Fast Charging Solar Generator, 1.8H to Full Charge for Outdoor RV, Camping, Emergencies

Product Information

The River Max is basically a standard River power station with an additional battery. The added battery (which is detachable) brings twice the amount of battery life (576Wh) compared to the River (288Wh). A: Please note that the AC output port can only charge/power devices that operate at less than total 1000 Watt. Using this charging will help prolong the lifespan of the battery and guarantee that the Delta is ready to recharge gear at all times. The Explorer 1000’s main disadvantages are the non-standard DC solar input and an 85% overall efficiency, similar to the previous version. The price of the station is also more than the competition. That said, the user gets a three-year warranty with two additional years when registering online.

It has a cover for the 12 volt output, Goal Zero doesn't provide one on any of it's Yeti models with 12V output. NOTE: Estimates are my own calculations (90% inverter efficiency for AC-powered devices/appliances) Which Is Better Overall – The Explorer 500 or River Max? Generator You can add a second battery to the River to double its battery size, making it into the River Max power station (which I’ll be covering next). As seen from the table above, the River Max has all of the same ports as the standard River power station. This means a total of ten output ports – four of them being USB and three of them being AC ports.

OFF-GRID SOLAR GENERATOR, GREEN AND CLEAN POWER SUPPLY

Easy to Use: The ergonomic shape of the handle grants an ease grip. And use in one touch with simple and speedy setup within 60s to enjoy outstanding charging efficiency. Having one AC port is not a big deal because you can attach a power strip to the AC port and use multiple AC-powered appliances at once if needed; however, there should be at least a second AC port available due to the power station’s larger size. EcoFlow River Max – Pros & Cons As mentioned above, the Explorer 500 is just over 13 pounds – this makes it just slightly heavier than the Goal Zero Yeti 500X (12.9 lbs) and slightly lighter than the Bluetti AC50S (14 lbs). The EcoFlow River is the best solar generator of the three because it has more output power, more input (recharging) power, and more ports than the other options. It is the heaviest of the three, but this is the only downside. Generator A: Working time = 1002Wh* 0.85 / operating power of your device. The duration of our equipment is based on laboratory data, and the duration of specific equipment usage may vary.

Secondly, the Explorer 1500 charges pretty fast from the wall charger at six hours, however, the Delta charges in 1.6 hours, which is over three times faster. Delta 1300 vs. Explorer 1500 – What Can They Power? Appliance The 1000 measures 33.3 x 23.3 x 28.3cm and is roughly cuboid in shape, with a rather fetching dark grey and orange casing design. The four padded feet under the Explorer 1000 are also orange, and overall it looks very natty. The flashlight type light on the side of the unit is great feature especially when the power is out or when camping Its inverter strength is off the charts by any solar generator in its class. It can run its AC ports at 600W continuous, which is double that of the Explorer 300.

A surprisingly capable mobile power station with a lot of oomph

The lifespan of the Delta’s battery is dependent on how it is used and maintained. For example, the Delta’s capacity will drop to 80% after 800 cycles of use. Not only that, but you can utilize EcoFlow’s X-Boost feature to power larger, more power-intensive appliances like a microwave. So, in reality, it can power appliances of up to 1,200W. A: Yes, Explorer 1000 supports pass-through charging. But we don’t suggest, it will cause damage to battery life. The Delta has 800 battery cycles to 80% capacity, whereas the Explorer 1000 has 500 to 80%. This means that the Delta will have 300 additional battery charge cycles before hitting around 80% of its original 1,260Wh capacity. For power saving, Explorer 1000 portable power station will be turned off automatically in 12 hours when being drawn under 10W power.

Recharge: 3 ways to recharge: Solar Panel (2 Panels need 6.5 H, 1 Panel needs 10 H), AC Outlet(6.5 H), Car Outlet(12.5 H). What’s good to know is that both do have a strong surge capacity so higher-powered devices can be used, even if only for a short time limit. Which Is Better Overall – The Explorer 1000 or Delta 1300? When comparing solar generators of this size, all options are going to be heavy. Although the Explorer 1000 is very light, its 22 pounds still makes it hard to carry for long distances. Heavy items will require the recipient to make arrangements to take delivery of the goods and may require the recipient to help the courier unload the item. For items that are delivered on a pallet the courier will leave the pallet as close to your door as possible.NOTE: Estimates are my own calculations (90% inverter efficiency for AC-powered devices/appliances) Which Is Better Overall – The Explorer 1500 or Delta 1300? Generator

The MAXOAK BLUETTI EB240 is also a challenger to the Explorer 1000. It offers a higher battery capacity while boosting the same power rating for the inverter. The price of the EB240 is almost twice that of the Explorer 1000 while also being much bigger and heavier than the latter. It also has more AC, USB-A, and USB-C ports than most other power stations in its class. While offering the highest max output, the Delta was capable of running electric devices and having a high battery capacity. The market for portable battery-based generators have exploded recently in part due to the pandemic. Working from home has allowed people to consider a nomad life while the need to have a reliable power source on-the-go has persisted. However, this model costs the exact same amount of money as the EcoFlow River, and if I had to choose between the two, I would 100% buy the River. EcoFlow River – Pros & Cons It can power DC devices, AC devices, and USB-A devices, but it has no USB-C ports and only one AC port. This is not ideal for current-day needs, as several devices use USB-C to charge up.The optimal temperatures for normal use are -4 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. For optimal use, the temperature is that of -4 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
