Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 vs UGREEN PowerRoam 600
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
UGREEN PowerRoam 600 costs $400 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 holds 57% more energy (1070Wh vs 680Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 has 1500W more surge headroom (3000W vs 1500W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- UGREEN PowerRoam 600 is 6.2 lb lighter (17.6 lb vs 23.8 lb).
- Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Neither of these will start a sump pump or well pump — both surge below the ~3,400W those motors need. If home backup with pumps is your use case, look at higher-surge models instead of either of these.
The lightest 1kWh unit here at 23.8 lb, with a 3000W surge that punches above the Anker and EcoFlow units it competes with.
Best for: Campers who want 1kWh but care about carrying weight and need surge headroom.
Where it falls short:
- Only 3 AC outlets
- Not expandable — what you buy is what you get
- 400W solar input trails the Anker C1000's 600W
UGREEN's entry unit punches slightly above its output class thanks to a 1,500W surge, but 600W of continuous power keeps it in device-and-small-appliance territory.
Best for: Campers who want a fast-charging sub-1kWh unit from a mainstream electronics brand.
Where it falls short:
- 600W output rules out heaters and compressors
- 680Wh is weekend-scale
