Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra Portable Power Station (1536Wh, 1800W)
1536Wh of LiFePO4 behind an 1800W inverter, in a case you can still lift into a truck bed on your own. Three AC outlets, 3600W of surge headroom for motors that spike on startup, and a full recharge in an hour and a half. This is the size where a power station stops being a camping accessory and starts being a serious outage plan.
It takes up to 800W of solar — enough to refill it in about two and a half hours of good sun — and switches to backup within 20 milliseconds when the grid drops. Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi mean you can watch it from your phone.

Why the Explorer 1500 Ultra
1800W Across Three Outlets
Runs a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker or power tools — with 3600W of surge for startup spikes.
1.5 Hours to Full
From a wall outlet. Fast enough that a short window of grid power between outages is enough to refill it.
800W of Solar Input
A 16–60V MPPT window at up to 24A — roughly 2.5 hours to full from a large array.
20ms UPS Switchover
Automatic transfer to battery fast enough for computers, networking gear and home electronics.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Monitor charge, output and solar input from the Jackery app rather than walking to the unit.
4,000 Cycles to 70%
LiFePO4 cells rated for a decade of daily cycling, not a couple of camping seasons.
What's Included
In the Box
1 × Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra power station
1 × AC charging cable
1 × Solar charging cable
1 × Car charging cable
User manual and warranty card
Plus 2 × SolarSaga 200W panels if you choose that option
This model does not accept an add-on battery pack — 1536Wh is the capacity, full stop. If you need more storage than that, the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 expands to 12kWh and the HomePower 3600 Pro Max to 43kWh. Call us at (303) 876-7654 and we'll compare them for you.
With or Without Solar?
Same power station in both options. The panels decide whether a multi-day outage ends with a flat battery.
Option
What You Get
Best For
Explorer 1500 Ultra Only
1536Wh power station with AC, solar and car charging cables
Grid outages where power comes back within a day, job sites, and RV use with shore power available
Explorer 1500 Ultra + 2 × SolarSaga 200W
The same unit plus two 200W foldable panels — 400W of solar
Multi-day outages, off-grid camping and van life, where a wall outlet is exactly what you do not have
The unit accepts up to 800W, so two 200W panels use half its solar capacity and leave room to add more later. At 400W expect roughly five hours of good sun for a full charge; at the full 800W it drops to about 2.5. Call us at (303) 876-7654 if you'd like to price a larger array.

Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra Portable Power Station (1536Wh, 1800W): Frequently Asked Questions
What can 1800W run?
A full-size refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker, a toaster, a 1500W space heater, most power tools, a sump pump, a TV and networking gear — one or two at a time. With 3600W of surge headroom it also handles the startup spike from motors, which is what actually trips smaller units. What it won't do is a 240V appliance like an electric dryer or a well pump.
How long will 1536Wh last in an outage?
Divide 1536 by your draw. A fridge, some LED lighting, a router and phone charging comes to roughly 250W, which is about six hours. Drop the fridge to its actual duty cycle and it's often twelve or more. Add a 1500W space heater and you're down to under an hour. Call us at (303) 876-7654 with your list and we'll do the arithmetic properly.
Can I add an extra battery to it?
No — this model doesn't support an expansion battery, so 1536Wh is what you have. That's a real consideration if you expect your needs to grow. The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 expands to 12kWh and the HomePower 3600 Pro Max to 43kWh if you want a system you can grow into.
How much solar can I connect?
Up to 800W, through a 16–60V window at 12A per input, doubling to 24A. At the full 800W it charges in around 2.5 hours of good sun. The two-panel bundle on this page gives you 400W, which is a sensible starting point with room to add more.
Does it work as a UPS?
Yes. It transfers to battery automatically within 20 milliseconds, which is fast enough for desktops, routers, NAS boxes and most home electronics. For medical equipment, verify the tolerance with the device manufacturer first rather than assuming.
How heavy is it, really?
About 38.6 lbs. That's a two-hand lift but a genuine one-person job for most people, and it's noticeably lighter than the 50-plus pounds typical of older 1500Wh units. It'll go in a car boot or a truck bed without a second pair of hands.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes. There's no combustion and no exhaust, which is why battery power stations have largely replaced small gas generators for indoor use. Keep it somewhere dry with airflow around the vents and it's happy in a hallway, a basement or a garage.
Will it charge from my car?
Yes, at 12–16V and up to 8A, using the supplied car charging cable. It's slow compared with wall or solar charging, but on a long drive it's energy you'd otherwise not have.
How does the app help?
Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi let you see state of charge, current draw and solar input from your phone, and switch the AC and DC outputs on and off. When the unit is in a garage or a basement during an outage, not having to go and look at it is worth more than it sounds.
Do you offer financing or price matching?
Yes. We offer 0% APR financing options through Affirm at checkout, and our Lowest Price Guarantee applies — if you find this model cheaper at another authorized dealer, call us at (303) 876-7654 before you order and we'll take care of it.
