Jackery has introduced its rugged Ultra Series at this week's CES trade show. Debuting in Explorer 1500 SKU form; this brand-new product seems to be positioned as both a home-based backup power system and portable outdoor energy solution. The tough and reliable hybrid station boasts an IP65 rating; its maker expressed enough confidence in this level of environmental protection—as evidenced by a demonstration unit being continuously showered with water. The Explorer 1500 Ultra model features titanium-alloy multi-layer construction; resulting in an impressive 17.5 kg weight—Jackery claims that this is the lightest unit within current IP65-rated solutions (including other brands).
