*Calculated at 100W constant AC load, 85% efficiency, 10% reserve and 8W battery-side idle draw. Equal assumptions are used for comparison; these are not measured model efficiencies.

Quick answer: The BLUETTI AC180 lists 1,152Wh and 1,800W continuous output; the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 lists 1,070Wh and 1,500W. That is an 82Wh capacity gap. Both use LiFePO4 cells. Weight, charging speed, warranty and the price of equivalent bundles should settle the choice.

Energy is only one part of the choice

The nominal capacity difference here is 82Wh. Under identical assumptions that changes energy duration, but actual delivered energy also depends on efficiency, internal consumption and operating conditions. Do not interpret a modeled difference as a laboratory result.

Check the load before comparing runtime

A higher continuous rating can matter for simultaneous appliances. It does not establish whether a compressor will start or whether every outlet can carry that load. Check the exact manual, running requirements and surge behavior.

Make the purchase comparison personal

Compare current delivered prices for equivalent bundles. Check weight, charging compatibility, return conditions and support for the seller and location you will use. This page does not declare a universal winner: the right choice depends on your loads and charging plan.
