Practical Motorhome’s editor, Sarah, originally tested the first iteration of the Jackery Explorer 1000, and was impressed by the simplicity of using the portable power station. Now, the updated version of this tried and trusted model looks to offer quicker charging times and 50% more power. In fact, we consider it to be one of our favourite options for the best portable power station.

Providing a capacity of 1070Ah and an output of 1500W, it also comes with a surge peak of 3000W.

We’re impressed with its selection of ports: two USB-C ports (one of which offers 100W PD Fast Charging), a USB-A port, a DC Car Port, and two Pure Sine Wave AC Ports.

You could top up a phone up to 74 times, while a laptop can be charged up to 14 times. Its LiFePO4 battery should ensure it is good for 4,000 cycles. The CE-certified gadget comes with ChargeShield 2.0 and is also designed to be fire and shock resistant, offering some good peace of mind when it’s used.

One thing we will highlight – make sure you have the payload to accommodate its weight of 10.8kg. However, a sturdy handle will make the power station that much easier to carry.

Plus, thanks to the supplied motorhome solar panel, you can enjoy clean energy when you’re on tour, which you can use to top your power station up in only three hours. The solar panel has an IP68 rating and 400W of solar input. The current price of £521 is the cheapest it’s been all year, according to price tracking tool Keepa.

And, should you decide you’d rather have it without the solar panel instead, you will find the Explorer 1000 v2 is on offer on its own too, currently available with a 31% discount to lower its price to £379 from its full price of £549.
