I’m reviewing it at the moment mate, they sent me a demo Anderson plug they made that connects to the solar inputs. Il let ya know how it goes. But yes we need Anderson outputs for fridges etc 😎👍🏼

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I did watch your video on the same unit and noticed you had a cable. I didn’t want to mention it in my video because they hadn’t told me about it or sent me one so I wasn’t sure what the go was with it. Have a good Christmas mate. Where are you based as well? Thinking we could head out on a few trips together if your up for it.

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

Best review on the Jackery I have seen yet.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Thanks buck. Appreciate the compliment mate.

[@wg130358]

Hit the nail on the head regarding the Anderson plugs mate ,nice review

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Glad you enjoyed. They are working on a cable adaptor for charging via Anderson plug but it’s still limited to 10amps. They need the ability to charge fast from a car and run stuff via Anderson

[@jeep2701]

We use a 2.5 litre instant hot water unit in our van and using a 2600 inverter when iff grid and yes i am soft but love it thanks for the video and merry Christmas

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Hahaha. It’s one of my favorite parts of owning a caravan. Having a shower after a long day on the tracks is my favorite part haha. No judgement here haha. Merry Christmas to you and your family too

[@nd9667]

Would be interesting to see how this conpares with the itechworld PS2000 which appears very similar on specs at least. Thanks for the honest unbiased opinions as always. And grear that u get out and camp.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I would love to compare them but also don’t want to just become a battery box review channel 😂. Maybe in another 12 months.

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

Entertaining and informative as usual, mate. I love the setup in the rear. There's a spot for everything. Wanting to do something similar.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Thanks for watching mate. Really appreciate it. Let me know what setup you end up with

[@adamj1299]

Great insights….

[@adamj1299]

And a business related expense of UPS :)

[@stevenloynds3691]

I know it's not the intention of these 4x4 channels to keep people at home...some people are stupid and think they need all the bling to actually go out and enjoy...I miss the old days with just the basics....great video and review personally all this tech is taking away what camping is all about.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I understand what you are saying and to some degree I agree with you. And it seems like you probably have the same opinion of “ it is what it is and ppl can camp how ever they like “. The marketing company’s are doing a great job at convincing ppl they need all this stuff in there setups.

[@shanenorwell8580]

That’s great, keep them at home so the bush is quieter for the rest of us😜😁

[@trickymon]

@@Australian4x4Adventuresyou included . You promote the crap.

[@AndyTom9999]

Agree about the need for an Anderson plug. None of these types of systems have one (Bluetti etc). Apart from the advantage of faster charging from the car, my 12 volt travel oven uses 11 amps and cigarette plugs are 10 amp max so it's a deal breaker for me.

[@rustyw3858]

just wondering what wheels and tyers u are running as i bought a new 62 and like those rims .

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

They are the CSA recoil rims and goodride 35inch mud tyres

Anderson plugs on the unit and a 15amp RV plug and tie down points

As if it isn’t bad enough to put your child in Crocs, but, 2 left feet and the wrong size?!?!? I’m callings DOCS!🤣

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

To my defense. He grabbed them himself from the house. I just didn’t check them 😂

[@edgarchieng2130]

Yes, I never understood why all these power stations do not have a high current 12v anderson charging input, literally I have not seen one brand out there (unless someone can point me to one) right now that offers this.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Jackery are playing with duel input charging which gives you 200w ( 20 amps ) of charge via 2 cig points. But that requires you to have to points with their own wiring to make sure it keeps up. I’ve mentioned to them about the Anderson plugs and how Aussies love them so it’s a requirement. And they have taken it onboard and working on it apparently

[@MKMTA]

I see Toby drives like his dad 🤣

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

😂. Like a professional

[@michaeldemeo1844]

Great vid, when they add anderson plugs x 2 or 4 then i will buy one. Cheers

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Fingers crossed!

[@jamiewilliams7618]

Great vidoe mate. Only issue with them is car charging is way to low. And no andson plugs for fridges and travel buddy but glade you told them this,But what i like with blue yeti is expandable battery system and this as well make it worth it as i think its cheaper compared to enerdrive as i built a portable set up like this with just 1 btec 200 and 2000w inverter and redarc 40 dcdc and that was 4500 plus 200 for a tred cargo box to mount it in.

[@bushmagpie3312]

Hi, if you buy a Victron 12/48 converter, you can plug into Anderson plug car and 48Vdc into solar input, it fast charges. Most of these power bricks you can trick them doing same thing with 12/48 inverter.

[@jeep2701]

Quick question please.... how many amp hours is it ?

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

It’s all in the video. I can’t remember the exact figures but each battery ( there was two in the video ) is about 180 from memory

[@jeep2701]

@@Australian4x4Adventures sorry i missed that will recheck

[@cyclemoto8744]

An all in one unit would be great but the cost is astronomical. I think I'll stick to DIY. Current example being 314AH Eve automotive grade cells, 2000w inverter, 250ah Muller Energy BMS, Victron 20amp mppt, Victron 30A 240v charger + sundries comes to approx $1900 and results in more than twice the capacity and cycle life. I do appreciate the review Steve but in my opinon these types of units are only good for those who have the cash to blow or not competent with the DIY approach which isn't my case. Cheers. ps: You still get a thumbs up

[@biggles333999]

Looks like a great camping spot. Where abouts is that???

[@trickymon]

It’s all about selling you a product nothing to do with camping hence why no reply

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

It was Ulupna island. Great little spot. Sorry about the slow reply, Christmas time is super busy for me at work and KZbin takes a back stage.

[@trickymon]

@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah right 😂

All good. Thanks for a reply. Usually I don't get any. Have a great xmas.@@Australian4x4Adventures

@biggles333999 sorry about that. I get a lot of msg and sometimes can’t reply to them all. But I do try my best. Have a great Christmas mate.

Best review

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Thanks mate

[@jockwar]

good review all sounds great until your free camping rain & cloudy days then U can't charge these power packs using the cigarette lighter in the car takes forever to charge & solar the same I have a small Jaycar battery pack the size of my hand I use to topup my phone & MacBook 42000ah it takes 6 hours to charge on solar this jackery unit would take forever then U have to hang around while its charging or it will walk away & $6000,00 U can get a 2200 EUi Honda Generator for just over $2000.00 these large power packs R only good if Ur going camping for a long weekend then take it back home & charge it back up with 240V I can't remember U talking about the weight there very heavy & take up more space than the Honda

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

That needs a 15 amp plug on it for van and gen switch at home.

[@sdrhodes82]

Seems like every other battery actual system with expansions and what not on the market. Not many of these systems seems to have a big difference in what they do except the price really. Probably still better off with an advocate system with lithium batteries and faster chargers and building the system to your budget

[@sdrhodes82]

Battery backup not actual

[@sdrhodes82]

Adhoc not advocate…. Dam auto correct

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

😂. I was wondering what you meant when I read the first comment 😂
