≈ 1.7 days (24h/day)
System standby power: 15W (58.2% of total draw)
Provides 3× CEE 7/3 (230V) (120V 60Hz).
Pure sine wave inverter output. Safe for all standard household appliances.
Inductive motor/compressor load with 1.5× starting surge (motor inrush) (99.5% worst-case surge margin).
Wall AC fast charge at up to 1200W (—m to 80%, 95m to 100%).
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (15W) remains comfortably below the 3000W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 10W.
About 42 hours on AC power, with the Wi-Fi router averaging 10 W (Wi-Fi 6 router plus fiber ONT or cable modem (10 W)). The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 then draws about 26 W from its battery, including 15 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 50 hours (standalone dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router (6 W)). Worst case: about 31 hours (tri-band router plus DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem under heavy load (18 W)).
Yes. Using the 12 V DC car-socket to 5.5×2.1 mm (DC5521) barrel cable on the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2's 12 V car socket, the Wi-Fi router runs about 4.6 days instead of 42 hours on AC, 164% longer, because it skips the inverter's conversion loss and its 15 W idle draw.
That simple division gives 4.5 days, but the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2's inverter draws about 15 W whenever its AC outlets are on. At this light load that's 58% of everything the battery supplies, and inverter conversion losses take a further share. Jackery doesn't publish an idle figure and we haven't found an independent measurement, so this uses our 15 W estimate.
On wall power: about 95 minutes to full (Jackery figure). With its maximum 400 W of solar input connected, expect about 320 W in full sun, so a full recharge takes roughly 3.5 hours of full sun, so it can refill in a single day with 4 peak sun hours.
It can act as a backup supply: with the Wi-Fi router plugged into the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 and the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 plugged into the wall, it switches the Wi-Fi router to battery in about 20 ms when the grid fails (Jackery calls this UPS mode).
