[The Cool Down](https://www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/jackery-portable-battery-backup-renters/) reported the launch.\n\n## What the HomePower 1000 Plus v2 Delivers\n\nThe HomePower 1000 Plus v2 raises continuous output to 1,800 watts and surge output to 3,600 watts through four 120-volt AC outlets, against 1,500 watts and three outlets on the earlier version. It carries about 1 kilowatt-hour of built-in storage and accepts as many as five 2 kilowatt-hour expansion packs, for a maximum of 11 kilowatt-hours.\n\nJackery says the battery uses lithium iron phosphate cells rated for 6,000 cycles and is backed by a five-year warranty. The company also notes it uses cell-to-pack construction, a design more often associated with automotive batteries, which can help reduce size and weight while improving durability.\n\nThe unit carries a $749 MSRP, and Jackery's introductory promotion drops the starting price to $619. Adding a 200-watt portable solar panel raises the cost by another $200. Pairing the main battery with one 2 kilowatt-hour expansion battery brings the package to $1,499 MSRP, or $1,269 at the sale price.\n\nCleanTechnica reported that the 1,800-watt output is enough to run many essential devices on a standard 120-volt, 15-amp line. CleanTechnica also reported that Jackery built in safety features including a battery management system that can automatically shut power off if voltage or current becomes unstable, and a fire-resistant outer casing.\n\n## Jackery's Home Backup Portfolio\n\nJackery designs and manufactures portable power stations, solar generators, and modular home battery storage systems, according to [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data) from akta.pro. The Fremont-based company was founded in 2012 and serves outdoor enthusiasts, homeowners seeking backup power, and commercial buyers across more than 30 markets.\n\nThe same records show Jackery launched four home backup products in June 2026: FridgeGuard, HomePower 1000 v2, HomePower 2000 Plus v2, and HomePower 3600 Pro Max, expanding the residential backup portfolio with LiFePO4 cells rated for 6,000 cycles. Accumulated sales volume reached 7 million units between January 2018 and March 31, 2026.\n\n## Earlier Jackery Backup Moves\n\nJackery partnered with Qmerit in October 2026 to connect customers with over 15,000 licensed electricians for home backup power installation, Android Headlines reported. The company launched the Explorer 100D mini power station and the new Plus series in Germany on October 14, 2026, with the Explorer 100D at 89 euros and Plus models starting at 649 euros, FinanzNachrichten.de reported.\n\nJackery's SlimPower H1 portable power supply won the 2026 Good Design Best 100 and the Good Focus Award for disaster prevention and recovery design, Prtimes reported. The 1,024Wh unit is about 67mm thick and switches to UPS mode in about 10 milliseconds.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
