Published October 28, 2026. Every spec and price here comes from Jackery’s and EcoFlow’s US store pages, checked on October 28, 2026. This is a spec comparison, not a hands-on test, and runtime figures are labeled arithmetic. Prices and stock change often, so confirm on the maker’s page before you buy.
The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus and the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max are both 2 kWh-class LiFePO4 power stations that can grow with add-on batteries, so they get cross-shopped a lot. On paper the Jackery has more output and more solar input, and the EcoFlow is lighter and cheaper. There’s also a buying wrinkle the spec sheets don’t tell you: on October 28, Jackery’s own store was steering 2000 Plus shoppers to its newer HomePower 2000 Plus v2. We cover that below.
Quick answer
- Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus: 2,042.8 Wh, 3,000 W AC (6,000 W surge), up to 1,400 W solar, 61.5 lb, expandable with Battery Pack 2000 Plus units. Jackery lists 4,000 cycles to 70%+ capacity.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max: 2,048 Wh, 2,400 W AC (4,800 W surge, X-Boost to 3,400 W), 1,800 W wall charging, up to 1,000 W solar, 50 lb, expandable to 6 kWh with two extra batteries. EcoFlow lists 3,000 cycles to 80%+ capacity.
- Availability on October 28, 2026: the DELTA 2 Max was $1,049 on EcoFlow’s US store (list $1,299). Jackery’s store showed no new standalone Explorer 2000 Plus for sale; the page offered bundles and a refurbished unit and carried a banner pointing to the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 ($1,199).
- Short version: the Jackery is the one for heavier 120 V loads near 3,000 W, more solar, or a path to 240 V by pairing two units. The DELTA 2 Max is the one for a lighter 2 kWh box at a lower price per Wh, if 2,400 W covers your loads.

Is the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus still sold new?
Not from Jackery’s US store, as far as we could see on October 28, 2026. The Explorer 2000 Plus product page listed kits (two of them marked refurbished), a Battery Pack 2000 Plus, and a banner reading “Get the HomePower 2000 Plus v2 — better performance, in stock now.” The tech specs on that page are headed “Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station (Refurbished)” and show a 6-month warranty. The separate refurbished Explorer 2000 Plus page listed the unit at $1,999 with a 6-month warranty and showed it as sold out in the copy we fetched. Third-party sellers may still have new stock; check the seller and the warranty terms before you buy.
Jackery hasn’t published a discontinuation notice that we found, so we’re describing what the store shows, not announcing an end of life.
What Jackery points you to instead: HomePower 2000 Plus v2
On its HomePower 2000 Plus v2 page, Jackery lists 2,048 Wh, 2,400 W output, expansion to 12 kWh, “6000+” LFP cycles, a 5-year warranty on Jackery.com, and a price of $1,199 on October 28. Jackery also says it is 34% lighter than the previous generation. Note what changes: the v2’s listed 2,400 W output is lower than the 2000 Plus’s 3,000 W, the same figure as the DELTA 2 Max. So if you wanted the 2000 Plus specifically for its 3,000 W inverter, the v2 isn’t a like-for-like swap.
Output: what each can run
The 2000 Plus’s 3,000 W continuous rating and its 25 A outlet give it more headroom for a big 120 V load, such as a window AC plus a fridge, or a larger power tool. The DELTA 2 Max’s 2,400 W covers most single kitchen appliances and tools. EcoFlow’s X-Boost lets resistive loads like kettles and heaters rated up to 3,400 W run at reduced power by lowering voltage; it doesn’t add capacity and won’t help motors that need full voltage.
Neither unit on its own is listed with 240 V output. Jackery says two 2000 Plus units can be paralleled for 120/240 V; EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 Max sheet lists no 240 V option. If you need to run a 240 V well pump, read our transfer switch safety guide before connecting anything to house wiring.
Charging: wall and solar
- Wall: EcoFlow lists 1,800 W AC charging. Jackery lists a 15 A max AC input and a 2-hour full charge but doesn’t print the charging wattage.
- Solar: the Jackery takes up to 1,400 W across two 17.5 to 60 V inputs. The DELTA 2 Max takes 500 W per port, 1,000 W total, at 11 to 60 V. If you plan a bigger panel array, that 400 W difference matters more than anything else on this list.
- Car: Jackery lists 25 hours from a 12 V car outlet. EcoFlow lists 12/24 V car charging at 8 A, which works out to roughly 100 W from a 12 V outlet (our arithmetic). Either way, a car outlet is a trickle for a 2 kWh battery.
Runtime arithmetic
The two batteries are within 6 Wh of each other, so runtime is effectively a tie. Watt-hours divided by load gives an upper bound before inverter losses; real runtimes will be lower.
| Steady load (example) | Explorer 2000 Plus (2,042.8 Wh) | DELTA 2 Max (2,048 Wh) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 W (router, modem, lights) | about 34 hr | about 34 hr |
| 150 W | about 13.6 hr | about 13.7 hr |
| 500 W | about 4.1 hr | about 4.1 hr |
| 1,500 W | about 1.4 hr | about 1.4 hr |
Fridges and freezers cycle, so their average draw is far below the running watts on the label. See fridge and freezer runtime and chest freezer runtime on a power station for how to estimate yours. For smaller loads, see router and modem battery backup and CPAP backup battery.
Weight and size
The DELTA 2 Max is 11.5 lb lighter (50 lb vs 61.5 lb) and much shallower (9.5 in vs 14.1 in). Both are two-hands or cart weights. If you’ll move it between rooms or into a truck bed often, the EcoFlow is easier to live with.
Cost per watt-hour
Store price divided by rated capacity on October 28, 2026 (arithmetic, not a value judgment):
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max: $1,049 / 2,048 Wh, about $0.51 per Wh
- Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2: $1,199 / 2,048 Wh, about $0.59 per Wh
- Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (refurbished, as listed): $1,999 / 2,042.8 Wh, about $0.98 per Wh
Both stores run frequent sales, so redo this with the price you see.
Which one fits which job
- Home backup with heavier 120 V loads, a large solar array, or a path to 240 V: the Explorer 2000 Plus, if you can find one new with a full warranty.
- Fridge-plus-essentials backup, RV, or camping where 2,400 W is enough: the DELTA 2 Max, which is lighter and cost less per Wh on October 28.
- You like Jackery and want new stock with a full warranty: look at the HomePower 2000 Plus v2, keeping in mind its listed 2,400 W output.

FAQ
Which has more power, the Jackery 2000 Plus or the DELTA 2 Max?
The Jackery lists 3,000 W continuous and 6,000 W surge; the DELTA 2 Max lists 2,400 W and 4,800 W surge. Capacity is essentially the same (2,042.8 Wh vs 2,048 Wh).
Which charges faster from solar?
On paper the Jackery: 1,400 W max solar input vs 1,000 W. You only see that difference if you actually have more than 1,000 W of panels in good sun.
Which lasts longer?
Jackery rates 4,000 cycles to 70% capacity; EcoFlow rates 3,000 cycles to 80%. Because they measure to different end points, you can’t call a winner from the numbers. Both use LiFePO4, which is the long-life chemistry in this class.
Can I expand either one?
Yes. The DELTA 2 Max takes up to two extra batteries for 6 kWh. The 2000 Plus takes Battery Pack 2000 Plus units; Jackery says up to 12 kWh on one unit and 24 kWh with two units in parallel.
Is the Jackery 2000 Plus discontinued?
Jackery hasn’t announced it as far as we found, but on October 28, 2026 its US store only showed the 2000 Plus in bundles and refurbished listings, with a banner pointing to the HomePower 2000 Plus v2.
