Jackery vs BLUETTI power stations

Does BLUETTI give more watts than Jackery at 288 Wh?

Yes on continuous watts in this pair. The Elite 30 V2 doubles output (600 W vs 300 W) at the same 288 Wh. Both list UPS under 10 ms. Solar input is 200 W on the Elite against 100 W on the Explorer. List prices sit about $11 apart on our checks.

A laptop and lights stay inside 300 W, so the lighter Explorer 300 v2 is what you feel in the hand — and it is the one with 4,000 cycles to 70%+ printed. Closer to 600 W on a compact pack means opening the Elite 30 V2 page.

A phone and a laptop are the load. This is not a weekend camping list, and the order is not weight alone. review puts both styles in order by pounds.

Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 or BLUETTI Elite 100 V2?

When you will haul this size into camp, pick from watts, weight, price, solar input, and the cycle claim. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2ModelJackery Explorer 1000 v28.9 / 101,070 Wh · 1,500 W · 23.8 lb · 10.8 kg · $559.00 lists 1,070 Wh, 1,500 W, 23.8 lb, UPS under 20 ms, solar up to 400 W, and 4,000 cycles to 70%+, at $559 on 2026-10-31. The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2ModelBLUETTI Elite 100 V28.9 / 101,024 Wh · 1,800 W · 25.35 lb · 11.5 kg · $489.00 lists 1,024 Wh, 1,800 W, 25.35 lb, UPS under 10 ms, solar up to 1,000 W, and a bare 4,000 cycles, at $489 on 2026-10-30.

OutdoorGearLab usable AC sits close: about 910 Wh on the Explorer 1000 v2 and about 890 Wh on the Elite 100 V2. So the BLUETTI undercuts on list price and prints more continuous watts and solar input; the Jackery keeps about a pound and a half less weight and a cycle claim that states where the count stops. Many brand roundups skip that percent split.

UPS is unfinished on our Elite 200 V2 page (blank), while BLUETTI’s manual lists switchover ≤15 ms and the Explorer prints under 20 ms — read the blank as missing data on our side, not “no UPS.” The Explorer page also notes a charge-time split — the brand cites about 1.3 to 1.7 hours from the wall; OutdoorGearLab measured about 2.5 hours — if refill speed is why you opened a 2,000 Wh box.

What should I check before I buy?

• Similar watt-hours. Put Explorer 300 v2 next to Elite 30 V2, or Explorer 1000 v2 next to Elite 100 V2 — not a 288 Wh box next to a 2,000 Wh unit.
• Continuous watts, weight, and list price. BLUETTI often prints more AC watts; Jackery often prints fewer pounds.
• Cycle percent and UPS time. Prefer a finish percent beside the cycle count. Prefer a time in ms beside UPS — a blank is not the same as “no.”
