  "account": "Jackery has revolutionized its portable power stations with a novel automotive battery packaging technique, shrinking the Explorer 2000 Plus v2 and Explorer 1000 Plus v2 models by 60% and 44% respectively. The Cell-to-Body (CTB) 2.0 architecture integrates battery cells directly into the enclosure, eliminating excess internal space and resulting in a 33% weight reduction for the Explorer 2000 Plus v2. The new power stations maintain their original battery capacities of 2,048Wh and 1,024Wh, while shrinking in size from 36.6 × 25.5 × 27.2cm to 31.35 × 20.1 × 23.35cm. Jackery's Head of Europe, Brady Sun, emphasized that consumers desire powerful yet compact energy solutions. The 10ms UPS function ensures seamless power supply during brief electrical interruptions, and the ceramic-coated LFP cells boast a lifespan of 30 years with 6,000 charge cycles. Orders for the new models will be available in the UK and Europe starting October 14, 2026, with discounts on accessories and a 102W GaN charger included in select bundles.",
