The Jackery Explorer 500 v2 is the compact 512Wh LiFePO4 power station built for people who want useful backup power without hauling a large system. It delivers 500W of clean AC power with a 1,000W surge rating, weighs about 12.6 lb, and is easy to carry for camping, road trips, CPAP backup, mobile work, and short household outages.
Choose the power station by itself or select the Explorer 500 v2 + SolarSaga 100 Air bundle for a lightweight solar-generator setup. The Air panel is Jackery’s current four-fold, bifacial 100W portable panel—not the older two-panel SolarSaga design.
Why the Explorer 500 v2 Works So Well
- 512Wh LiFePO4 battery: dependable everyday capacity with a long service life.
- 500W rated output / 1,000W surge: runs electronics and many smaller appliances within the unit’s limits.
- Fast wall charging: approximately 1.3 hours under supported conditions.
- 200W maximum solar input: recharge away from the grid with compatible Jackery panels.
- UPS switchover under 10 ms: helps keep supported equipment running through short power interruptions.
- Portable at 12.57 lb: small enough to keep ready for the car, camper, office, or emergency closet.
- Indoor-safe electric power: no gasoline, exhaust, or engine maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Explorer 500 v2 run a refrigerator?
It can run many compact refrigerators and some efficient household refrigerators when their running and startup wattage stay below the 500W continuous and 1,000W surge limits. Check the appliance label before connecting it.
Can I use it while it is charging?
Yes. It supports pass-through use. For critical equipment, confirm the connected load is within the unit’s rated output and follow Jackery’s operating guidance.
Is the SolarSaga 100 Air waterproof?
The panel carries an IP68 rating. Keep its connectors protected and follow Jackery’s instructions for wet-weather use and storage.
How long will 512Wh last?
Runtime depends on the device. A simple estimate is usable watt-hours divided by the device’s average wattage, allowing for inverter losses and changing loads.
Will this power a heater, microwave, or large coffee maker?
Most high-heat appliances draw more than 500W, so they are generally not a match for this model. The Explorer 500 v2 is best for electronics, lighting, communications equipment, and smaller appliances.
