2,040 Wh LFP power station at 39.5 lb — 41% lighter and 34% smaller than conventional 2 kWh LFP units thanks to Jackery's CTB (Cell-to-Body) construction borrowed from EV packs. 2,200W AC continuous, 100W USB-C PD, full wall recharge in 102 minutes via Emergency Super Charging, and a 20 ms UPS that's UL1778 certified. Editor's pick for camping and home backup at $1,499.
- 2,040 Wh LFP cells with CTB (Cell-to-Body) construction — EV-grade structural integration
- 2,200W pure-sine AC output (2,500W surge), 100W USB-C PD output
- Wall recharge: 0–80% in 66 minutes; 0–100% in 102 minutes via Emergency Super Charging mode
- Silent Charging mode: full charge in 5 hours at 30 dB — quiet enough for a bedroom
- 20 ms UPS switchover, UL1778 certified for Uninterruptible Power Systems
- Solar charging: 6 hours with 400W panels (DC8020 connector)
- 39.5 lb / 13.2 × 10.4 × 11.5 in — 41% lighter and 34% smaller than typical 2 kWh LFP units; 5-year warranty
The good and the bad
- 39.5 lb is genuinely portable for 2 kWh — 27 lb lighter than the older Anker SOLIX F2000 with the same capacity
- CTB construction is real engineering, not marketing — same architecture used in modern EV battery packs
- Silent Charging at 30 dB is class-leading — works overnight in a bedroom or RV without disturbing sleep
- UL1778 UPS certification with 20 ms switchover makes it compliant for sensitive medical equipment
- Only 21 reviews at the time of cataloging — early-adopter risk despite the 4.9-star rating
- Emergency Super Charging at 102 min is notably slower than the Anker C2000 Gen 2 (58 min) or the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max (43 min with AC + solar combined)
- Solar charging requires a DC8020 connector — adapter needed if pairing with non-Jackery panels
- Not designed to charge electric vehicles (per the listing) — no NEMA 14-50 like the F3800
If this is you, you're in the right place
- Editor's Pick: best 2 kWh portable for most U.S. buyers
39.5 lb is genuinely portable. UL1778-certified UPS with 20 ms switchover. CTB construction, 4,000-cycle LFP, 5-year warranty.
- Bedroom or RV silent-charge user
Silent Charging mode at 30 dB lets you fully charge overnight without disturbing sleep. Best-in-class noise floor.
- Sensitive-medical-equipment owner
UL1778 certification for Uninterruptible Power Systems is rare in this segment — meaningful for CPAP, dialysis, oxygen concentrators.
If this is you, keep shopping
- Recharge-speed-first buyer
102-min full charge trails the Anker C2000 Gen 2 (58 min) and the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max (43 min with AC + solar combined).
- Direct EV charging
Not designed to charge electric vehicles per the listing. F3800 is the only portable in this catalog with a NEMA 14-50 for EV charging.
