Prices in the Jackery UK shop on 15 October 2026. Jackery's early-bird offer: 14 October to 3 November 2026. Prices after that date had not been announced.
Jackery's UK press release of 14 October 2026 lists early bird prices from 14 October to 3 November 2026: £599 for the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 (RRP £749) and £949 for the Explorer 2000 Plus v2 (RRP £1,249). Bundles with one Battery Pack 2000 are £1,248 and £1,598 respectively. The Battery Pack 2000 itself has an RRP of £849.
On 15 October 2026 the Jackery UK shop showed the same £599 and £949 prices, with £749 and £1,249 as the reference price. Prices after 3 November had not been announced.
According to Jackery, the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 stores 1,024 Wh, delivers 1,800 W continuously (3,600 W surge), weighs 10.8 kg and accepts up to 400 W of solar input. A full mains charge takes about 1.25 hours. The Explorer 2000 Plus v2 stores 2,048 Wh, delivers 2,400 W (4,800 W surge), accepts up to 800 W of solar and charges from the mains in about 1.5 hours.
Both have three AC outlets, two USB-C ports (up to 140 W), one 18 W USB-A port and a 12 V car socket. Jackery rates the LFP batteries for 6,000 cycles to 70% capacity and quotes a 10 ms switchover for its UPS function.
The 1000 Plus v2 grows to 11 kWh and the 2000 Plus v2 to 12 kWh with extra Battery Pack 2000 units. Extra packs extend runtime but do not raise the continuous output: Jackery points out that a 3,000 W UK kettle exceeds even the 2000 Plus v2's 2,400 W limit.
A 10 ms switchover is short, but it is not zero interruption. Test sensitive equipment such as a desktop PC or medical device before you rely on it during a power cut.
The names are close to the existing Explorer 1000 v2 and 2000 v2, which have fixed capacity. If you are weighing the two 1 kWh models, our earlier comparison of the 1000 Plus v2 and 1000 v2 goes through the differences.
After showing them at IFA Berlin in September, Jackery put the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 and Explorer 2000 Plus v2 on sale in the UK on 14 October 2026. Both are expandable LFP power stations; until 3 November they carry early bird prices.
