The UPS Advantage

The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 has no UPS mode — a significant gap vs the Allpowers R1500 LITE, which has verified under 15ms switchover. If you have a CPAP, NAS, or any sensitive device, the Allpowers wins by default in this pairing. The Jackery’s surge and output advantage doesn’t compensate for the missing UPS.
