Build my planJackery
Explorer 1000 v2
Users balancing roughly 1 kWh of rated energy with carrying weight, after checking their actual loads.
The trade-off: A lower carrying weight than the DELTA 3, with 300 W less continuous AC output and no battery expansion.
EcoFlow
DELTA 3
Loads needing more AC output headroom or multiple outlets, within the checked 1,800 W total limit.
The trade-off: More output headroom and expansion options, but it is the heaviest model in this catalog.

| Continuous AC output | 1,500 W total across the AC outlets | 1,800 W total across the AC outlets |

| Startup evidence | Jackery lists a 3,000 W surge peak without a duration or a verified motor-start envelope in the checked sources. Starting-load suitability remains unconfirmed. | EcoFlow lists 3,600 W surge, without a duration or a motor-start envelope in the checked specifications. X-Boost is a separate appliance mode and is not treated as normal 1,800 W continuous output. |
| Outputs and shared limits | 3 × 120 V AC outlets; 1,500 W total continuous; 1 × USB-C output, up to 100 W; 1 × USB-C output, up to 30 W; 1 × USB-A output, up to 18 W; 1 × 12 V car-style output, up to 10 A | 6 × 120 V AC outlets; 1,800 W total continuous; 2 × USB-C outputs, up to 100 W each / 200 W total; 2 × USB-A outputs, up to 18 W each / 36 W total; 1 × 12.6 V car-style output, up to 10 A; 2 × DC5521 outputs, up to 12.6 V / 3 A each; all 12 V outputs share 126 W |
| Solar input ceiling | Two parallel DC8020 solar inputs. Jackery support specifies 16–60 V, up to 10.5 A / 200 W per port and 21 A / 400 W combined. Both ports require matching panel models and quantities. The 12–16 V range in the manual is a separate vehicle-input range, limited to 8 A combined. | One XT60 solar/car input: solar 11–60 V, 15 A and 500 W maximum. The manual requires the connected panel array to have a total open-circuit voltage (Voc) no greater than 60 V and a total short-circuit current (Isc) no greater than 15 A. For the current check, use Isc, not the operating current at maximum power (Imp). Check Voc for cold-weather conditions and follow the panel manual for series or parallel connections. These are input ceilings, not a promise of solar harvest. |
| Important trade-off | A lower carrying weight than the DELTA 3, with 300 W less continuous AC output and no battery expansion. | More output headroom and expansion options, but it is the heaviest model in this catalog. |
| Model and source checks | 1,070 Wh is rated capacity; delivered energy has not been measured by ChooseWatt. Model check required: the product specification table, JE-1000D manual and support page agree on 1,070 Wh, while current site navigation also says 1,024 Wh. Confirm JE-1000D and 1,070 Wh before buying. Three AC outlets share a 1,500 W total limit. A listed 3,000 W peak does not establish motor-start compatibility. Jackery support lists no expansion-battery support and no USB-C charging input. Solar limits are conditional on port count and matching panels; 400 W is the combined maximum. | 1,024 Wh is the base battery rating, not a ChooseWatt measurement of usable AC energy. The six AC outlets share 1,800 W. X-Boost is excluded from the normal continuous-output rating. A 3,600 W surge claim does not confirm the start-up behavior of a specific compressor or motor. The car-style and DC5521 outputs share 126 W; their individual maximum ratings cannot all be added together. This is DELTA 3 EF-DL-H10-3, not DELTA 2, DELTA 3 Plus, DELTA 3 Classic or DELTA 3 1500. Optional extra batteries and charging accessories are separate products; this catalog covers the base unit only. |

Capacity, power and startup are different checks. A listed surge number without a verified duration cannot establish motor-start compatibility. Solar input ceilings describe accepted input, not expected daily harvest. Confirm your device’s plugs, voltage, operating conditions and manual before purchase.
