  • Jackery cuts power station's size without reducing the stated battery capacities
  • The Explorer 2000 Plus v2 loses 33% weight while retaining 2,048Wh capacity
  • CTB 2.0 lets Jackery integrate battery cells directly into the enclosure structure

Jackery has applied an automotive battery packaging technique to two new portable power stations, reducing its physical footprint without cutting the stated capacities.

The Explorer 1000 Plus v2 and Explorer 2000 Plus v2 use a Cell-to-Body architecture that integrates battery components into their structural enclosures.

The company said this approach cuts the Explorer 2000 Plus v2's size by 60% and its weight by 33%, and reduces the Explorer 1000 Plus v2’s size by 44% while its weight plunges by 26%, compared with their predecessors.

CTB architecture cuts size while retaining large battery capacities

Explorer 2000 Plus v2 stores 2,048Wh, weighs 18.8kg and measures 36.6 × 25.5 × 27.2cm, while the Explorer 1000 Plus v2 stores...
