Jackery recently launched the new HomePower 1000 Plus v2, offering greater flexibility and capability for the home, outdoors and worksite while adding expandability to the portable battery. Within the compact case is 1024 kWh of battery storage. However, unlike its predecessor, the new battery also has the ability to add up to five 2 kWh expansion packs, for up to 11 kWh of total capacity.
The system uses premium LFP cells to offer 6000 charge cycles, backed by a 5 year warranty. However, unlike many portable batteries, the HomePower 1000 Plus v2 uses cell-to-pack construction. This integrates the cells as part of the battery structure, as seen in many automotive applications. This simultaneously makes the battery more rugged, lighter and more compact. Speaking of which, the HomePower 1000 Plus V2 measures 12.4” x 7.9” x 9.2” and weighs 23.8 lb. That makes it lighter and more compact than a 30-pack of canned beverages. The handle seems sturdy and is relatively comfortable. The portability gives the battery a lot of flexibility in how it is used. However, a shoulder strap or custom backpack would be useful to take it on the go.
