Jackery Launches Explorer 1500 Ultra at CES 2026, Teases Solar Gazebo for Second Half of 2026

The 1,536Wh LiFePO4 unit is available now at an $899 launch price with IP65‑sealed ports for tougher outdoor use.

Overview

  • The Explorer 1500 Ultra delivers up to 1,800W continuous output with surges to 2,000W for 15 minutes and 3,600W for 5 seconds, plus a 20ms UPS-style switchover.
  • Recharge options include AC to full in about 3–4 hours, car charging in up to 14.5 hours, 400W solar in up to 4 hours, or 800W solar in up to 2.5 hours, subject to sunlight.
  • Launch pricing undercuts the $1,299 MSRP with the base unit at $899 and a bundle with two 200W panels at $1,499, down from a $2,199 list price.
  • Jackery touts durability with fully sealed, IP65-rated output ports, reinforced construction, and a claim of withstanding magnitude‑9 earthquake force.
  • The Solar Gazebo was announced with 2,000W of panels, integrated lighting and weather‑resistant outlets, an estimated $12,000–$15,000 price, and a targeted U.S. release in the second half of 2026 that observers note remains unproven after past CES concepts.
