Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 vs Bluetti AC70
Lifetime cost can't be compared here — Explorer 1000 v2 doesn't publish a cycle rating to the 80% standard; on price alone the AC70 is cheaper.

The Explorer 1000 v2 carries more energy (1,070 vs 768 Wh), and AC70 recharges faster from solar (500 W input cap). Run your own appliances through the Load Builder to see which one fits your load.
