Head-to-head test
BLUETTI AC180P vs Jackery HomePower 1000 v2
The AC180P holds 416Wh more and covers a full workday the Jackery can't, while the Jackery is 11.9 lb lighter, lasts longer, and costs less to own, so it's capacity against portability and longevity, and the split is real.

Spec deltas
The AC180P is the bigger battery, 1,440Wh to the HomePower's 1,024, and unlike most of the Jackery's rivals it's a proven one, with a real owner track record behind itA2. That capacity is enough to carry a full remote workday off a single charge, which the Jackery can't quite do.
The Jackery answers with everything around the battery. It weighs 23.4 lb to the AC180P's 35.3, an 11.9 lb gap you feel on every lift; it's rated for 6,000 cycles to 3,500; it idles quieter at 30 dBA; and it costs $50 less up front and less per stored kilowatt-hour over its life.
So this one doesn't resolve on a single killer spec, it resolves on you. Need the capacity and want the proven unit? AC180P. Carry it often, keep it for years, and stay under a kilowatt-hour a day? Jackery. Both are honest answers, which is exactly why the confidence here is a coin's-width, not a landslide.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first — the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
Capacity
At 1,440Wh the AC180P clears a 910Wh workday and still has reserve; at 1,024Wh the Jackery, after inverter losses and a sane reserve, comes up short before you log off. Same desk, and only one of them lasts the day.
AC180P holds 1,440Wh; HomePower 1000 v2 holds 1,024WhA full remote workday draws about 910WhThe scenario engine has the AC180P covering that day and the HomePower falling short
Why it mattersIf your use case is running a workstation off one charge, the capacity gap decides it for the AC180P before any other spec gets a vote.
rated cycles
The AC180P's capacity comes in a heavier box with a shorter rated life, so the buyer who carries the unit between house, car, and campsite pays for the extra Wh twice: once in the lifting, once in the earlier replacement. The Jackery trades some capacity for a load you can carry one-handed and keep longer.
AC180P weighs 35.3 lb; HomePower 1000 v2 weighs 23.4 lbAC180P is rated for 3,500 cycles; HomePower 1000 v2 for 6,000
Why it mattersAnyone whose unit actually travels, rather than living in a closet for outages, should weigh the 11.9 lb and the cycle gap heavily toward the Jackery.
The lifetime-cost gap here is narrow, three cents a kilowatt-hour, much tighter than the Jackery's usual rout, so the value case is real but not overwhelming. What partly offsets it is risk: you're paying slightly more per unit of energy on the Jackery's side for a brand-new SKU whose reliability is still unprovenB1.
AC180P costs $599 and works out to $0.12 per lifetime kWhHomePower 1000 v2 costs $549 and works out to $0.09 per lifetime kWhAC180P is the proven unit; the HomePower launched weeks ago
Why it mattersValue-and-longevity buyers should still lean Jackery, but the ones who most want a sure thing today have a legitimate reason to pay the AC180P's small premium.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units — everything else is a tie.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: AC180P's capacity wins CPAP, Remote Workday, and Tailgate outright; the heart of its case.
Capacity is the AC180P's whole argument, and the scenarios pay it off. It's the only one of the two that clears a full remote workday off a single charge, and it takes the CPAP and tailgate scenarios on margin. The Jackery wins none of the head-to-head scenarios outright, because in this pairing it's the smaller tank.
The catch is that neither reaches the big jobs. A weekend campsite, an 8-hour blackout, a van's daily draw, both fall short of all three, the AC180P just falls short by less. Its extra 416Wh moves the line on the everyday loads, not the marathon ones.
Portability & Form Factor
Selected because: 11.9 lb lighter Jackery is the direct counterweight to the AC180P's capacity.
weight
The AC180P has a Power Lifting Mode, and at 35.3 lb it quietly demands one from you too. The Jackery is 11.9 lb lighter at 23.4, the difference between a one-handed grab and a two-handed, watch-your-step carry.
For a unit that stays put and runs during outages, this is a non-issue and the AC180P's capacity wins clean. For a unit that rides to the campsite and back every few weekends, 11.9 lb is a tax you pay on every single trip, and it's the Jackery's strongest non-price argument.
Lifetime Value
Selected because: Jackery cheaper today and per lifetime kWh, but the gap is narrow this time.
cost / lifetime kWh
The Jackery is cheaper here too, $549 to $599 today and $0.09 a lifetime kilowatt-hour to the AC180P's $0.12, helped by 6,000 rated cycles against 3,500. But notice how much narrower this is than a blowout: three cents a kilowatt-hour, not the double-and-more gaps the Jackery opens against weaker rivals.
That tightness is the AC180P earning its keep. It's the pricier box to own, but only just, and it hands you 416Wh more energy and a proven reliability record for the difference. The value verdict still points at the Jackery; it points more gently than usual.
What the Specs Don't Tell You
Selected because: Noise, surge, UPS speed, and 6,000-vs-3,500 cycle life all tilt to the Jackery.
rated cycles
The smaller specs cluster behind the Jackery. It idles at 30 dBA to the AC180P's 45, switches over in 10ms to the AC180P's 20, and, oddly for the smaller unit, actually surges higher, 3,000W to 2,700, so it starts a stubborn motor the AC180P might not.
None of these overturns the capacity gap on their own; together they're why the smaller Jackery stays in the fight against a battery 416Wh larger. It's quieter, quicker to catch a dropout, and holds more starting headroom, which is a lot of consolation for a tank that's smaller.
Brand Trust
Selected because: Role reversal: the BLUETTI unit is the proven one, the new Jackery is the unknown.
The usual roles flip in this matchup. Here the BLUETTI is the proven unit, drawing strong owner ratings across hundreds of verified reviewsA2, while the Jackery is the launch-fresh unknown with essentially no independent field data yetB1. If you want a sure thing today, that's a real mark for the AC180P.
BLUETTI's catch remains support, widely rated the most inconsistent in the space, and buying direct tends to go better than through a marketplace. Jackery's own support draws complaints too, so on either unit the smart move is to buy where the return window is generous, which matters double on the Jackery until owners have put real miles on it.

CPAP Overnight
Sleep therapy without interruption — the #1 medical use case
HomePower 1000 v2
A CPAP is about 40W for eight hours, so both of these cover the night several times over — capacity isn't the question here, and the percentages are a formality. What matters is the box next to your pillow. The HomePower 1000 v2 runs at 30dB against the AC180P's 45dB, and at three in the morning that gap is the whole difference between the two.

Remote Workday
Full work day off-grid without power anxiety
AC180P
A full day at a desk, monitors, a laptop, a phone through a few charge cycles, lands right where these two split. The AC180P's 1,440Wh covers it off one charge; the Jackery's 1,024Wh comes up short before quitting time. If your workday runs off a single battery, this is the AC180P's scenario.

Game day power for the crew
AC180P
Both handle game day; the AC180P keeps more in reserve (55% used vs 77%). Tailgating is a light load, though, so the number you'll feel is weight: 23.4 lbs for the HomePower 1000 v2 against 35.3 lbs for the AC180P, from the trunk to the setup spot.

Conclusion
July 18, 2026
Verdict: the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2
This is the closest matchup of the bunch, and it genuinely splits. The AC180P is the bigger, proven unit: 1,440Wh to the Jackery's 1,024, a higher composite score, a real owner track record, and it's the only one of the two that clears a full remote workday off one chargeA2. But the Jackery is 11.9 lb lighter, rated for 6,000 cycles to the AC180P's 3,500, quieter at 30 dBA, and cheaper both today ($549 to $599) and over its life ($0.09 a kilowatt-hour to $0.12). For the buyer who carries the unit, keeps it for years, and stays under a kilowatt-hour a day, the Jackery edges it. The moment you need the extra capacity, take the AC180P without hesitation.

See the full weight table and data sourcing on our methodology page →Class ranking (the star rating)
Each unit's star score is a category ranking, not customer reviews — no buyer opinions feed it. We score every station on size-independent quality (value, output, portability, endurance, ports, warranty, and more), then percentile-rank it against the other units in its capacity class, so a class-leading compact unit and a class-leading whole-home unit can both earn 5★. Here, AC180P rates 4.5/5 (70th percentile of 24 Everyday-class units), and HomePower 1000 v2 rates 4.2/5 (52nd percentile of 24 Everyday-class units).
How the class ranking is computed →Test Notes & Caveats
Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
30 dBA against 45
The AC180P runs at 45 dBA under load to the Jackery's 30. Fifteen decibels is the gap between a fan you forget and one you hear, which matters most for a unit running near a bed or a desk.
The smaller unit surges harder
The Jackery holds a 2-to-1 surge-to-continuous ratio and a higher absolute surge, 3,000W to the AC180P's 2,700, despite the smaller battery. More starting headroom for a motor or compressor, from the lighter box.
UPS Switchover: ≤10ms vs ≤20ms
Both list a UPS mode, at different rated speeds. The HomePower 1000 v2 is rated ≤10ms — quick enough on paper that desktop PCs and routers should ride through, treating that as the rating it is. The AC180P is rated ≤20ms — fine on paper for routers and most electronics; the fussiest PC power supplies sit right at this line. If a computer with unsaved work is the thing being protected, the stated class is worth the attention; nothing here is a lab result.
Warranty: No Difference
Both units carry the same 5-year warranty, so coverage isn't a tiebreaker here.
6,000 cycles against 3,500
The Jackery is rated to outlast the AC180P by 2,500 cycles before either battery fades. The AC180P's 3,500 is still roughly a decade of regular use, so this counts for the Jackery without being decisive.

The AC180P is cheaper to buy, but the HomePower 1000 v2 is cheaper to own. At $0.11/kWh over its lifetime vs $0.13/kWh, the HomePower 1000 v2's higher cycle life and capacity make each dollar go further over the years.
Brand trust
BLUETTI
Ecosystem
One of the broadest lineups — 15-20+ models from budget (AC2A) to flagship portable (Apex 300, 2764.8Wh). Includes specialized products: vehicle solar hubs, sodium-ion cold-weather units, and balcony storage systems.
Support
The most inconsistent support in the space. Heavily email-based with China timezone delays. Some users get smooth, efficient service; others report weeks of troubleshooting runarounds, being offered discounts on new units instead of repairs, and confusing third-party purchase claim processes. Buying direct from Bluetti's website tends to produce better support outcomes.
Community
Active and growing — Reddit r/bluetti has a dedicated community. Second-largest after EcoFlow in engagement.
App experience
Rated 4.5/5 iOS and Android — tied for best app experience in the category. V3.0 UI redesign was well-received.
Unique strength
Capacity per dollar is BLUETTI's signature, and here it's paired with something rarer for this comparison: a real, proven owner track record.
Worth knowing
Support is the brand's weak point, widely rated the most inconsistent in the space, and buying direct tends to go smoother than a marketplace claim.
Jackery
Ecosystem
12-15+ models across Explorer (portable) and HomePower (home backup) series, plus SolarSaga panel ecosystem and innovative form factors
Support
US-based support but widely criticized. Reddit reports describe slow/dismissive responses, scripted AI agents, strict receipt requirements for warranty claims, and refurbished replacements for clearly defective units. Strongly recommended: buy from Costco or Amazon for return protection.
Community
Smallest community of the major brands — Reddit r/Jackery has ~2,000 members. YouTube presence is solid due to brand recognition.
App experience
Rated 2.3-3.3/5 iOS and Android — the weakest app experience of the major brands. Multiple confusing apps (Jackery app vs Jackery Home) and mandatory login even offline.
Unique strength
Recognized and everywhere, easy to buy at Costco or Amazon and easy to return.
Worth knowing
It's a launch-fresh SKU with almost no field record yet, so a generous retail return window is worth more than usual here.
Analyst note
For once the BLUETTI is the proven pick and the Jackery is the unknown. Buy either where returns are easy, and if a sure thing today outweighs a lighter box you'll own for years, that logic points at the AC180P.

What Owners Report
Patterns from published owner reports and long-term reviews — every claim cited to its source below.
BLUETTI AC180P
The AC180P is the one unit in this matchup with a real owner history. It draws strong ratings across hundreds of verified reviewsA2, and testers confirmed the Turbo charge claim held up, refilling most of the battery inside an hourA1A2. It also carries a Power Lifting Mode that boosts output to 2,700W for briefly hungry devicesA1.
Two honest notes come from those same reviews. Despite what some listings say, the AC180P does not accept true expansion batteries, it can only be topped up by an external battery in Power Bank ModeA3. And at roughly 35 lb it's fine for base camp or the back of a car, but a real haul if you're carrying it any distanceA4.
“Delivers 1,440Wh of LiFePO4 capacity and 1,800W continuous output, with a Turbo Charge feature reaching 0-80% in roughly 45 minutes and a Power Lifting Mode that delivers 2,700W to run high-powered devices.”

Jackery HomePower 1000 v2
Nobody has owned the HomePower 1000 v2 long enough to complain. It launched weeks ago, and the single hands-on report was vendor-facilitatedB3, so its field record is a placeholder, not a track record, the sharp contrast with the AC180P here is proven unit versus promising unknown.
The one test on record refilled it from a pair of folding solar panels in a few hoursB3 and ran it hard in a hot truck bed through days of stop-and-go cycling without troubleB1. Encouraging, but it's a single positive account arranged by Jackery. Give it a few months and real owners before you lean on it.
“It held up to many charging and discharging cycles as we topped it up at Superchargers, adding drinks and taking out food along the way — locked in the tonneau of a black truck driving through 100+ degree heat for days.”

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the AC180P if you…
- →Buyers who want the most usable energy per dollar, 1,440Wh for $599, and whose daily draw approaches or tops a kilowatt-hour, like a full workday off one charge.
- →Anyone who wants a proven unit with a real review historyA2 and doesn't carry it far enough to mind the 35.3 lb.
Buy the HomePower 1000 v2 if you…
- →Buyers who move the unit often and will feel the 11.9 lb, or who want the longest rated life at 6,000 cycles and the quietest 30 dBA operation.
- →Value buyers focused on the lower price today and the lower cost per lifetime kilowatt-hour, who stay under a kilowatt-hour of daily draw.
If neither fits
Van-life daily drivers and whole-home buyers whose real draw runs toward 4,685Wh should skip both kilowatt-hour-class units and step up to a 2,000 to 3,000Wh station.
The Bottom Line
This is the one pairing where the Jackery doesn't win going away. The AC180P holds 416Wh more, wins the everyday scenarios, and comes with a proven owner record, so if you need the capacity or want the sure thing, buy it and don't second-guess itA2.
The Jackery takes it back for the rest of us: 11.9 lb lighter, 6,000 cycles to 3,500, quieter, and cheaper both today and at $0.09 a lifetime kilowatt-hour. Default to the HomePower 1000 v2 for portability, longevity, and value, and switch to the AC180P the moment your day needs more than a kilowatt-hour off a single charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
Is the bigger BLUETTI AC180P worth $50 more than the HomePower 1000 v2?
If you'll use the capacity, yes. It holds 416Wh more and covers a full remote workday off one charge that the Jackery can't quite finish. If your daily draw stays under a kilowatt-hour, the Jackery is lighter, longer-lived, and cheaper, and the AC180P's extra energy mostly sits unused.
Which lasts longer, the AC180P or the HomePower 1000 v2?
The Jackery on cycles, 6,000 to the AC180P's 3,500, both under the same 5-year warranty. That said, 3,500 cycles is still about a decade of regular use, so this favors the Jackery without being a dealbreaker for the BLUETTI.
Which one is easier to carry?
The Jackery, clearly, 23.4 lb to the AC180P's 35.3, an 11.9 lb gap you feel every time you lift it. For a unit that moves between house, car, and campsite that's a daily advantage; for one that sits in a closet waiting for outages, it barely registers.
Which is proven and which is new?
The AC180P has a genuine owner track record behind it; the HomePower 1000 v2 launched in mid-2026 with essentially no independent field data yet, just one vendor-facilitated test. If buying something with a proven history matters to you, that's a real point for the AC180P.
