Q1: Does Explorer 1000 Plus support capacity expansion?

A: Yes, Explorer 1000 Plus can be expanded up to 5056Wh at most by connecting 3 expansion battery packs.

Q2: What is the life expectancy?

A: It is rated for 4000 full charge cycles. At that point, you will have approximately 70% of your original capacity, and it will gradually decline from that point onwards.

(It's important to clarify that the battery isn't limited to only 4000 cycles. Within those 3000 cycles, the unit can deliver its optimal performance. However, it may not perform at its best after 4000 cycles due to internal wear and tear.)

Q3: What devices can the Explorer 1000 Plus power? And how can I know the working time for my device?

A: The Explorer 1000 Plus can charge/power devices that operate at less than 2000 watts and the total wattage of all connected devices should also be under 2000 watts as well. You can calculate the working time using the formula: Working time = 1264Wh*0.85/operating power of your device. If more expansion battery packs are connected, the working time will also be extended.

Q4: Is lithium-ion battery the same as LiFePO4? Which battery is better for a solar generator or power station?

A1: No, there are a few differences in performance, chemical composition, and longevity between lithium-ion and LiFePO4 batteries. For instance, LiFePO4 batteries have a longer lifespan, enhanced safety, and increased thermal stability.

A2: Both LiFePO4 and lithium-ion batteries are safe and reliable choices for solar generators and power stations. They have a longer lifespan and can charge most homes efficiently. Jackery manufactures solar generators with lithium-ion and LiFePO4 batteries. These battery backups for homes can charge small and large appliances for a long time and use clean energy.
