Jackery has announced the Explorer 1500 Ultra, a new solar generator with a 1536Wh LFP battery and an 1800W rated output (3600W peak). It was designed to be used in extreme environments and weather conditions.
Key features
- Built for flexible use indoors and outdoors, including essential devices and appliances—from refrigerators and home electronics to tools, smart security systems, Wi-Fi routers, pet cameras, and home office setups
- A 1536Wh LFP battery and an 1800W rated output (3600W peak) delivers consistent, high-quality power for heavy-draw appliances, power tools, medical equipment, RV systems, and mobile workstations.
- Engineered with Jackery’s most advanced and resilient internal architecture to date, delivering true IP65 dustproof and water-resistant protection designed for long-term reliability in real-world environments, not just lab conditions.
- A top-mounted battery paired with a bottom-integrated cooling chamber eliminates the need for side vents, one of the most common ingress points for dust and water.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra was designed to meet the industry’s highest dust-and-waterproof rating, IP65, ensuring dependable performance in a wide array of environmental conditions. It also has IPX5-level water protection, so it can withstand heavy rain and water splashes. A support arm silicone protective flap provides added defense against dust and moisture, even while the unit is in use.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra also meets Level-9 seismic resistance standards and has passed a one-meter drop test. With the Explorer 1500 Ultra, Jackery has introduced a fully redesigned chassis featuring a patented titanium-alloy multi-layer structure that was designed to enhance both water resistance and heat dissipation. A reengineered battery-inverter-thermal architecture fully seals and protects the battery while improving overall cooling efficiency. By relocating ventilation to the base of the unit, airflow is directed vertically through a turbine fan for more effective heat exchange, while the metal housing helps accelerate heat transfer and moisture evaporation.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra weighs 38.6 lbs / 17.5 kg, making it the lightest IP65-rated power station in its class, and nearly half the weight of some comparable models.
It is equipped with a 1,536Wh high-capacity battery and sub-20-millisecond UPS response time, providing flexible power support for both home backup and demanding outdoor use. Built with EV-grade LiFePO4 battery cells, it is claimed to maintain up to 70% battery health after 4,000 charge cycles.
A lot of electronic devices rated at 1,000 to 1,800 watts require significantly higher surge power at startup, with surge duration varying depending on the device. To support real-world performance across demanding scenarios, the Explorer 1500 Ultra extends its 3,600W peak output duration by up to ten times compared to traditional power station designs.
Beyond peak output, the Explorer 1500 Ultra is capable of sustaining a 2,000W output for up to 15 minutes, far exceeding what most power stations in its class are designed to deliver.
Powered by Jackery’s ChargeShield 2.0 fast-charging technology, the Explorer 1500 Ultra can reach a full recharge in as little as 1.5 hours. With support for up to 800W of solar input, it can be fully recharged via solar power in approximately 2.5 hours under optimal conditions.
It features a versatile range of outputs, including two AC outlets, USB-C and USB-A ports, and a 12V car outlet.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra is capable of powering Starlink systems in off-grid environments, helping maintain essential connectivity in extreme conditions. Based on internal testing, it can support up to 50 hours of Starlink Mini use.
