So why not stick with the cheaper E1000?

The Pro looks a little more sleek and tall, it has a little more handle space – but, the real reason to choose the pro is the dramatic difference in the recharging times. The battery is also upgraded so it will last longer and deliver higher power for longer before it gradually starts to lose performance.

The Pro model has been tweaked for improved efficiency, providing a slightly better performance in terms of overall run time and power delivery. This small yet significant difference may be a deciding factor for users who need to eke out every minute of power during their outdoor adventures or power outages.

The Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro has a more comprehensive and user-friendly display than the Jackery Explorer 1000. The Explorer 1000 Pro’s display shows more detailed information about the power station’s status and power usage, making it easier to monitor and manage your power supply. Jackery have also added an extra years warranty (3 years) to the Pro model.

But still seriously why would anyone choose this over the standard model? Well if you have a lot of appliances and devices to run but you don’t have the budget for a 1500wh unit the Pro can be a deal breaker. As it can recharge faster you can get away with using it to keep you running non-stop.

Anytime it is running low hook it up to your solar panels, or plug it into the 12v car port and it will charge any device you have connected to it and also recharge itself in no time. Even without 4 x 200w solar panels you can get it up to 80% charge in a matter of hours. So in real world terms you can keep laptops, grills, coffee machines, phones, tablets, and multiples of these electronic devices going non-stop.

The beauty of this is you can keep a lot of those household appliances you take on the road with you powered up for hours on end. Plus you can sit back in the outback and watch some TV after you’ve fed and watered the masses in comfort.
