Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro - A Closer Look

The Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro is one massive unit and while still portable, is not something you want to carry long distances. It bears the same general shape and company colors as other units from the brand. All the output and solar connectivity is on the front, with the rear sporting DC and AC inputs. There is no external power brick, which is an important aspect as that is the only way to enable the high-wattage charging interface.


Both sides of the Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro feature orange grills which provide access to cool air for the fans. These are screwed onto the unit, so that you should be able to easily get to the fans in case they need servicing. That said, Jackery does not mention this as a feature - as such do so at your own risk. However, out in the wild, at least having this option could be useful.


On the underside, there are two large orange rubber pads so that the unit will have a firm stance no matter what you place it on. This is handy as your work site or camping spot will likely not be perfectly even. A large handle allows for portability and is lined with a rubber underside for additional comfort. That said, with the unit's hefty weight, don't expect to carry it on a mile long hike. The reality is that a large capacity battery pack like this will be heavy, and at just under 20 kg it's natural that you should not consider taking it long distances manually.


In the rear, the inputs are covered by rubber dust covers. There are two DC inputs, so you can plug in two solar panels directly for example. Next to that is the AC input plug with the 3-pin, naturally meaning that it is grounded.


In the front, yet under another dust cover, there is an LED light with its own dedicated power button. In the center, there is the display, which provides input and output information along a centralized UI element to let you know what the charge level is. This big aspect enables you to glance at it, even from a distance and get that required data point easily. To the right of the display, there is a DC 12 V "cigarette lighter" output, which is also behind a rubber dust cover.


On the bottom row, there are two USB-A ports as well as two USB-C QC 3.0 plugs which are capable of 100 watts, enough to easily charge and power modern phones and notebooks. Lastly, there are three AC ports, each of which capable of providing 20 amps, with a combined 2200 watt Pure Sine Wave load.
