While the 2,000Wh capacity and 2,200W power output remain the same, the lithium-ion batteries are replaced by LiFePO4 cells, which not only gives the unit a much longer lifespan – 4,000 recharge cycles versus the previous 1,000 cycles – but makes the unit safer and enables it to be a bit smaller and lighter compared to the Explorer 2000 Pro.

This unit also features ChargeShield 2.0, offering advanced protections for the batteries and attached devices, and efficient charging.

Because this unit is designed to be used a home backup system, it's output sound level is only 30 db so that it won't disturb anyone's sleep or sanity.

Jackery claims that this is the smallest, lightest LiFePO4-powered backup power unit on the market, making it perfect for both in-home use and moving about for camping or outdoor work tasks.
