Explorer 300 Plus vs Explorer 1000 v2 — Best for CPAP Backup
If you don't use a heated humidifier, the smaller 300 Plus is the better pick — lighter, cheaper, faster recharge, and its capacity is enough for a full night (7.2 hrs vs an 8-hr target). If you use a heated humidifier, switch to the 1000 v2 — the 300 Plus only manages ~2.9 hours before running out, well short of a full night, while the 1000 v2 comfortably covers it (10.7 hrs).
Jackery Explorer 300 Plus and Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 sit close enough in this dataset's scoring that neither is an automatic win. Jackery's unit carries 782Wh more battery capacity, so the right pick depends on which factor matters more for the specific use-case, not a single overall score.

Key Differences
- Runtime with a heated humidifier is the deciding factor, not overall score: 300 Plus drops from 90.5 to a real risk of not lasting the night, while 1000 v2 is unaffected (already well above the 8-hour target either way)
- 300 Plus: 3.75kg, 2hr recharge, $299 — built for portability and speed
- 1000 v2: 10.8kg, 1.7hr recharge, ~$800 (frequently discounted to ~$550) — built for headroom, not portability
