Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra Portable Power Station

Explorer 1500 Ultra stores 1,536Wh in a LiFePO4 battery and provides 1,800W continuous 120V AC across three outlets. Its 3,600W surge rating supports brief startup demand, while its higher solar-input ceiling and rugged-design features distinguish it from Explorer 1500 v2.

The facts that matter

  • The 1,800W total AC output and 3,600W brief surge are different limits. Compare both to the actual appliance.
  • Two DC8020 inputs support up to 800W combined solar input, or up to 400W through one input, within the published 16–60V range.
  • USB-C outputs are rated up to 100W and 30W, alongside an 18W USB-A port and 12V car output.
  • The LiFePO4 battery is rated for 4,000 cycles to at least 70% capacity; the station weighs about 38.6 lb.

Where this model fits

A fit for outdoor and backup plans that need a 1.5kWh energy store and more solar input than some nearby Jackery models. The 38.6 lb weight matters if the station will be moved often.

Check before buying

Check simultaneous AC running loads, startup watts, solar string voltage, and the 800W combined solar ceiling. Compare Explorer 1500 v2 if 2,000W AC matters more than the Ultra’s other characteristics.

Compare the right Jackery model

Plan your power needs

Use our backup power sizing guide to estimate capacity and output for your loads. The solar generator charging guide explains why a solar charge estimate depends on more than panel wattage.

Plan and compare your power setup

Estimate your appliance energy and backup time in our Power Planner. Then compare available power stations and packages by published capacity, output and charging specifications. Check the exact model’s input, output, connector and expansion limits before buying.

Compare Explorer 1500 Ultra packages

The 1500 Ultra provides 1,536Wh storage and 1,800W continuous AC output. Compare the station-only and two-panel packages by how you intend to recharge. The 1500 v2 is a different model; the similar name does not mean the same AC rating.

1500 Ultra + two 200W panels

Adds two SolarSaga 200W panels; 400W combined nameplate solar power.

Compare the 1500 v2

A separate model with 1,536Wh storage and 2,000W continuous AC output.

Explorer 1500 Ultra buying and charging guide

What’s included

1 × Explorer 1500 Ultra station, 1 × AC charging cable and station user manual. Solar panels and vehicle charging cable are separate.

Solar input and charging times

The Ultra accepts 16–60V, up to 12A / 400W per input and 24A / 800W combined. A full AC charge is approximately 1.5 hours. Solar charge time depends on the array: Jackery lists about 11 hours with one 200W panel, 5.5 hours with two or 2.7 hours with four, under its test conditions.

Match panel models and counts across both ports. A supported four-panel setup requires two SolarSaga adapters, sold separately. AC and solar may charge together; solar and vehicle input may not.

Output while wall charging and in cold weather

The Ultra’s continuous AC rating is 1,800W. Its manual allows 2,000W for up to 15 minutes, while 3,600W is a brief surge rating. During wall-powered bypass, the limit is 12A—1,440W at 120V. From 5–14°F (−15 to −10°C), the manual reduces maximum output to 1,000W.

Low loads and backup switching

Energy Saving Mode defaults to a 12-hour shutdown when AC demand is 25W or less.

For continuous small loads, hold Main Power and AC for more than three seconds to toggle Energy Saving Mode, confirm its icon and test your equipment. Runtime still depends on standby consumption and conversion losses.

UPS transfer is within 20ms, not interruption-free. Test the intended equipment before relying on automatic backup.

IP65 does not mean rain-safe charging

The Ultra’s IP65 rating requires every port cover to be closed. Plugging in a panel or appliance opens a cover, so keep the station’s connections sheltered and dry. Charge only within 32–113°F (0–45°C). The removable base has a manufacturer cleaning procedure; disconnect power and follow that guide before maintenance.

Explorer 1500 v2 vs 1500 Ultra

Both stations store 1,536Wh. Explorer 1500 v2 is lighter at about 31.97 lb and supplies 2,000W continuous AC with up to 400W solar input. Explorer 1500 Ultra weighs about 38.6 lb, supplies 1,800W continuously and accepts up to 800W solar input. Its IP65 rating applies only with all port covers closed. Neither station accepts expansion batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about this product, setup, compatibility, and use.

What comes with SKU 21-0001-000301? 1 × Explorer 1500 Ultra station, 1 × AC charging cable and station user manual. Solar panels and vehicle charging cable are separate. Can I add an expansion battery to this station? No. Explorer 1500 Ultra has a fixed 1,536Wh battery and does not support expansion battery packs or two-station parallel operation. Adding solar panels changes charging, not stored capacity. What is the difference between Explorer 1500 v2 and 1500 Ultra? Both stations store 1,536Wh. Explorer 1500 v2 is lighter at about 31.97 lb and supplies 2,000W continuous AC with up to 400W solar input. Explorer 1500 Ultra weighs about 38.6 lb, supplies 1,800W continuously and accepts up to 800W solar input. Its IP65 rating applies only with all port covers closed. Neither station accepts expansion batteries. What is its solar input limit? 2 × DC8020 in parallel; 16–60V, 12A / 400W per port, 24A / 800W combined maximum. Match models and panel counts across the two parallel inputs; do not mix 100W and 200W panels across ports. Supported four-panel configurations need the separate adapters shown in the station guide. Does wall-powered bypass provide the full battery-mode output? No. The Ultra is rated 1,800W continuously from battery, but bypass is limited to 12A, equivalent to 1,440W at 120V. How does cold weather affect output? Maximum output reduced to 1,000W from 5–14°F / −15 to −10°C. Temperature also changes available energy and charging speed; use the model-specific operating ranges. Why might a small router shut off overnight? The Ultra’s default Energy Saving Mode turns outputs off after 12 hours when AC demand is 25W or less. Hold Main Power and AC for more than three seconds to toggle this mode and test your intended load. Can the station charge through its USB-C ports? No. The 100W and 30W USB-C connections are outputs. Recharge through the AC inlet or a supported DC8020 solar/vehicle connection. Is the UPS transfer interruption-free? No. The Ultra switches within 20ms; test compatibility with the intended device. The manual excludes equipment requiring a true uninterrupted supply. How should I estimate runtime? Measure the average energy use of the actual devices. The 1,536Wh rating is nominal battery energy; inverter losses, standby draw, cycling loads, temperature and reserve reduce or change the usable runtime. Check continuous and startup watts as well as watt-hours. Can I run the Ultra continuously at 2,000W? No. Its continuous rating is 1,800W. The US manual lists 2,000W for no more than 15 minutes and 3,600W as a brief surge peak. Neither replaces the continuous rating. Can I leave the station in rain while charging from solar? No. IP65 requires all port covers closed. An open charging or output port is not protected by that closed-cover rating. Keep connections sheltered and dry; the panel’s IP68 rating does not change the station’s requirements.
