Same 1,500W ceiling; one holds twice the night.
The Anker SOLIX S2000 stores 2,010Wh and delivers 1,500W from five outlets, is rated for 6,000 cycles to 80% and quoted at 6W idle, with no 12V socket and no battery port, at 35.7 lb. The Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 stores 1,024Wh and delivers the same 1,500W from three outlets, adds a 12V port, refills in 50 minutes in Emergency Charging Mode and charges from 14°F, at 23.4 lb; it takes no extra battery either. Both switch to battery in 10ms and take 400W of solar. For the longest runtime from one box, the S2000; for a lighter unit that covers a desk or a router through an evening, the HomePower.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, eight modeled situations, an expandable option with more power, and what published tests found on each.
Both deliver 1,500W, switch to battery in 10ms, take 400W of solar and take no extra battery; prices sit $140.99 apart today. The S2000 has nearly twice the battery, two more outlets and the lower idle draw. The HomePower 1000 v2 weighs 12.3 lb less, has a 12V port, refills in 50 minutes and charges from 14°F.

The six differences that decide it
Both use LFP cells, deliver 1,500W, switch to battery in 10ms, take 400W of solar between 11 or 16V and 60V, take no extra battery and connect to their brand’s app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These six gaps decide it.

Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes: about 1,708Wh usable on the S2000 and 870Wh on the HomePower 1000 v2. Neither takes an extra battery.
Appliance for appliance, the S2000 lasts twice as long as the HomePower 1000 v2.

The price gap, in numbers
The Anker SOLIX S2000 costs $140.99 more than the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 and adds 986Wh: that is $0.14 per extra Wh, against $0.55 per Wh for the HomePower 1000 v2.
Prices refresh daily from Anker US and Jackery US.What separates them: 986Wh more battery, two more outlets and a 6W idle draw on the S2000, against 12.3 lb less, a 12V port, a 50-minute refill and charging from 14°F on the HomePower 1000 v2.
One S2000 (2,010Wh) costs $418.01 less today.
Per Wh, read the first card: one unit has nearly twice the battery of the other. Both are rated for 6,000 cycles, but Anker counts them to 80% of capacity and Jackery to 70%, so the S2000’s rating is the stricter one. The third card prices two HomePower 1000 v2 against one S2000, since neither can add a battery.
The third option: the Jackery HomePower 1000 Plus v2 at $749
Jackery HomePower 1000 Plus v2: $749 today
If you like the HomePower 1000 v2’s size but want more power and room to grow: 1,024Wh and 1,800W from four outlets, 3,600W surge, a 12V port, a 10ms switchover, charging from 14°F and up to five Battery Pack 2000 Plus v2 for about 11kWh, at 23.8 lb. With one pack it passes the S2000’s capacity. Our HomePower 1000 Plus v2 review goes deeper. See the HomePower 1000 Plus v2 at Jackery.
Eight modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above: 85% of the rated capacity. Neither takes an extra battery.
24-hour outage, essentials only
The S2000 runs close to a full day; the HomePower 1000 v2 an evening and a night. Plan a solar or wall refill for the HomePower.
A full-size fridge, alone
About 28 hours on the S2000 and 14 on the HomePower by the formula. Gizmodo measured 42 hours on an S2000 with its fridge; CleanTechnica kept a large fridge running for hours on the HomePower in a truck bed in 100°F heat.
CPAP, as many nights as possible
About five nights against close to three. On the HomePower, turn Energy Saving Mode off first: it cuts the AC after 12 hours below 25W.
A home office through an outage
Both switch in 10ms, quick enough for most desktop PCs. The S2000 keeps the desk running twice as long; neither is meant for a server, and Jackery says the HomePower doesn’t support 0ms switching.
A 12V fridge or car accessory
The HomePower 1000 v2 has a 12V, 10A port. The S2000 has no 12V socket, so a car cooler runs from its AC adapter, with conversion losses.
Charging in a cold garage
Jackery rates the HomePower 1000 v2 to charge and run from 14°F to 113°F. Anker rates the S2000 to charge from 32°F; it runs down to −4°F.
Refill from the wall before a storm
The smaller battery fills sooner. Both need a fast mode: UltraFast on the S2000, Emergency Charging in the Jackery app, which Jackery says to keep for when you need it.
Carrying it
The HomePower 1000 v2 is a one-hand carry: iPhone in Canada weighed it at 23.37 lb and carried it one-handed around the house. The S2000 is a compact tower at 35.7 lb.
Ten more differences, the spec sheet and the box
Smaller gaps that rarely decide the purchase, then the full specifications and what ships in the box.

S2000
HomePower 1000 v2
Practical consequence: the S2000 has five household outlets, three on the front and two on the back, two USB-C, one USB-A and no 12V socket. The HomePower 1000 v2 has three household outlets on two buttons, AC1 and AC2, so Priority Routing can cut the non-essential ones at a battery level you choose, plus 100W and 30W USB-C, one USB-A and a 12V port.
09 · NoiseNoise: S2000 vs HomePower 1000 v2
Both are rated at 30dB. Reviewers found the Anker SOLIX S2000 loud only under load or fast charging; nobody measured the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2.
Jackery’s figure is at 1 m in Quiet Mode; Anker gives no conditions.Every figure we found, with its source
What reviewers heard: Fans run only under load or fast charging (ESS News); UltraFast charging uncomfortably loud (Android Authority).
Measured by a tester Brand figure
- Overnight, skip the fast modes: Quiet Charging on the Jackery, standard charging on the Anker.
Cold and heat: S2000 vs HomePower 1000 v2
The Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 charges and runs from 14°F to 113°F. The Anker SOLIX S2000 charges from 32°F to 104°F and runs from −4°F to 104°F.
Figures from Anker US and Jackery US, with their US manuals.- Charge the S2000 indoors in winter: it doesn’t charge below 32°F.
- Jackery’s manual asks you to store the HomePower between 32°F and 113°F beyond one month, and 32°F to 77°F beyond a year.
App, UPS and smart features
Both switch in 10ms. The Anker SOLIX S2000 adds Storm Guard; the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 adds Priority Routing and 3kV surge protection.
Both apps work over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; neither takes an extra battery.Green zone: a switch under about 16ms, which most desktop PCs ride through without restarting.
Does it top up before a storm? Anker lists Storm Guard on the Anker SOLIX S2000, available over Wi-Fi. Jackery lists no storm mode for the HomePower 1000 v2.
Can it shed outlets automatically? On the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2, Priority Routing cuts the non-essential outlets at a battery level you set; Jackery says you switch them back on by hand.
Does it work as a UPS? Both switch to battery in 10ms per their brands. Jackery says the HomePower 1000 v2 doesn’t support 0ms switching and limits its output to 12A in bypass mode.
Can you add a battery later? Neither the Anker SOLIX S2000 nor the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 takes an extra battery.
Can it charge off-peak? Both have a time-of-use mode. Jackery keeps 60% of the HomePower 1000 v2 in reserve by default, per its manual; the S2000’s needs Wi-Fi, per Anker’s FAQ.

What reviewers report
We have not lab-tested these two units. Here is what 6 published reviews found, with the source, author and date for each point. Reviews of UK and EU units are flagged: those models charge from 230V outlets and have different sockets, so their charge times and outlet findings don’t carry over to US units.
