Jackery Explorer 240 vs 1000 — day brick vs multi-day
The smallest common Explorer vs the ~1 kWh workhorse — roughly 4.1× the Wh on paper (estimate). Feature-class honesty — not a winner crown. Prices: check current listing.
Honesty first (read this)
- No invented Wh, watts, kg, or prices. Explorer 240: 241.9 Wh · 200 W (400 W surge) · ~3.1 kg per Jackery FAQ (reused from 240 vs 500). Original Explorer 1000: 1002 Wh NCM · 1000 W · ~10.6 kg per Jackery FAQ (reused from 300 vs 1000).
- “1000” spans generations. v2 listing: 1070 Wh LiFePO₄ per jackery.com (sibling cite) — confirm AC output on that listing.
- Solar: 240 takes 12–30 V DC7909, 1 panel (sibling cite); 1000 solar input: check listing.
- Runtime is an estimate. Fridge runtime.
Nameplates reuse clearly attributed QuietWatt sibling cites from manufacturer product / FAQ pages (checked Oct 2026) — not lab tests or electrical advice. Solar / UPS details not cited here: check listing. Estimates labelled.
