Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Explorer 2000 v2 run a refrigerator?
Yes — a full-size fridge runs about 22 hours, and the 2200W continuous output handles a fridge plus lights, router, and device charging at once.

Does it switch on automatically during an outage?
Yes — its ≤20ms UPS switchover means anything plugged through it (fridge, router, computer, CPAP) keeps running without a flicker when grid power drops.

How do I recharge it, and how fast?
About 1.7 hours on AC (0–80% in 66 minutes), up to 1000W of solar, or from a 12V car port.

Is it expandable?
No — the Explorer 2000 v2 is a fixed 2042Wh unit. If you want to add capacity later, look at the expandable HomePower 3600 Plus or Explorer 5000 Plus.

Can it run an air conditioner?
Its 2200W continuous / 4400W surge can start and run many smaller window AC units — check your unit's running and startup (surge) watts to confirm.
