Nigel, imagine being part of the launch for weeks and then spending several days in 105 degree heat filming and up all night editing just to wake up to a ton of complaints. The GOOD NEWS is that they just informed me they will be back in stock this Thursday and they apologize for the mess up. The promo codes will still be in effect!

Jazz Man Hey Buddy! The Jackery pretty much threw you under the bus....er....ah VAN 💀😷😂 I'll turn on the bell. You are a terrific salesman & I hope the Jackery folks have figured out how to stay in your good graces. This is NOT it. I'll be in touch. I got 3.5 hours of 1100 BTU AC from my Gen 1 Zero Breeze Saturday night in a Flying J's in 85* F @ 1:30 AM. I was in the back of my 2006 Toyota Four Runner with the big 6 & the terrific 4WD. When I can live out of my Tow vehicle I'll start thinking of my custom, off road, Cassita Travel Trailer for my house. So, still gonna go for the Explorer 500 & the solar panels. The build in hot South Texas continues 😵😬💀😷🎶😭😂, Best to you & Miss Heidi, Tom, Michael in Hel.......my bad, Houston 😭

It's not worth buying anyway. For the price you can get a larger battery and be able to do more with it. It's just a gimmick.

[@onedogbowen]

HoboTech Thanks for the review/info on the Jackery 500. It is a great review. I pulled the trigger on the Jackery 500 a few days ago and they delivered it yesterday. In order to test the unit out I charged it completely and cooked my first meal a few minutes ago. I cook most of my meals using the 120V 60 cycle Wolf Puck 1.5 cup rice cooker. The cooker only draws about 200 watts per hour and does a great job cooking everything from soups, stews, pasta and everything else. The best thing about the cooker is 90% of my meals only take 1/2 hour to cook. So the Jackery really only consumes about 100 watts per meal. So now with my new Jackery 500 I can cook just above anything I want on road. Thanks HoboTech 👍👍👍👍👍

[@bdmack5952]

Excellent review. I learned so much as I just purchased this. Thank U

[@kingstonsean]

After watching this video, and a few others, I bought the Jackery 500 last week using a promo code direct from Jackery. (I couldn't get the Hobotech code to work) After fully charging it, it ran a ResMed AirSense CPAP with a humidifier and heated hose for 8 hours and used about 70% of the available power. I charged it up again and it ran a Transcend II travel CPAP for 8 hours, using about 20% of the available power. The Transcend does not have and LCD display, humidifier or heated hose. Both were tested using the AC output.

[@seniormaninavan4335]

Love the review. I have the 240 plus 2 160's so I will also order the 500 on the 25th. When running your generator (or anything else), and have solar available you should mention the fact the Jackery can be charging while charging whatever therefore extending the power time. That's the neat thing I like about them.

[@HOBOTECH]

Thanks! I did mention that in the review video. In fact, it says it in the user manual.

[@tams643]

Thank you, HoboTech, for the information and the Promo Code! I just now ordered the Jackery 500W. I already have the 240 and the 100W Solar Saga and have been very pleased with them.

Since the Jackery1000 can also run a full-sized fridge, freezer, a small microwave, hotplate, or small room heater during a power outage, I’ll be waiting until I can spring for one of those. Might even work for our on-demand hot water heater! Running the fridge and freezer for just an hour or so a couple of times a day should be enough, since they’re pretty well insulated. We only camp once or twice a year, but we have about a dozen power outages annually, from windstorms and heavy snowfalls.

[@spike178]

Yeah wanted 1000 watt but at £1000 is stupid overpriced so bought the 500watt to run my large freezer and Internet during a power cut for a few hours should be good enough.

You can also run up to 3 100W regular solar panels in parallel to charge the Jackery faster. Just double check the OC voltage rating to make sure it is within tolerance with the Jackery (but it should be). Much better than waiting 10+ hours.

[@ExpediteTravels]

[@philcapling8268]

Great video! Very helpful suggestions! Thanks for sharing.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

Just placed my order. This unit seems to be 95% perfect. Finally a usable capacity. I really hope they make an extra high current charging port. 100W from solar and 50W from 12V is just not quite enough but I think I'll manage for now.

[@HOBOTECH]

Congrats! I think you'll really enjoy it.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

$400 shipped with your code pushed me over the edge LOL.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

So I got it and tested it real quick. As you state and has shown the charging from 12V with the engine on is 42W. With the engine off it is `20W. Charging from AC is 82W. Due to that I tried charging it from a tiny old 120W inverter just to see if I could get up to 82W but it didn't work. I suspect it's because my old small inverter is most likely anything but a pure-sine. Talking solar panels here. Is there any reason a 160W panel connected to the charging input wouldn't work? Looks like the output voltage from the panel is in range and the charging circuit will only charge at the current it is designed for. Reason for using a 160W would be to compensate for power loss due to non-optimal angle. I plan on putting it flat on the roof of my van. I'm an EE and I see no reason at all this wouldn't work but has anyone tried yet?

[@HOBOTECH]

@@christianholmstedt8770 Nice. The reason for the drop with the engine off is because of the lower voltage. The higher the voltage you pump into the E500 the faster it charges. You can use as much solar as you like as long as you stay under the 30v limit. I did get mine to charge on a cheap 150w modified sine inverter but it only worked when the DC supply was over 13.2v. So try running the vehicle and see if your little inverter works.

[@christianholmstedt8770]

Engine was running. It's a cheapo RadioShack inverter from about 10-12 years ago. Works fine for a laptop and other small stuff. I'll get a panel at some point. It's needed if I decide to go with a fridge. One thing to remember is to make sure the 12V outlet used for charging is fresh and not dirty and corroded. Mine is a bit old and the contact got very hot. It's a great unit and a no-brainer at $400.

Hi there nice video what type of screen house is that

[@rmcnasty7319]

Hello Tom Thank you for the info & discount. Great Video I like it, How many hours will it power a C-PAP without a power humidifer? And With one?

[@HOBOTECH]

It will definitely run it 8+ hours without the humidifier. Those heated humidifiers use electric heating coils and I'm not sure of the draw as it depends on the model but it's likely not to make it all night. There should be a watt or amp rating on it.

[@HOBOTECH]

Just do 518 divided by the watts it says. That's how many hours minus about 20% for the inverter.

[@MWDAdventures]

I bought this and can't find on there website can the 500 run to zero without hurting the battery? or should you stop before 10-20 percent?

[@HOBOTECH]

You can run it to zero. It has a built in 10% DoD limiter.

[@MWDAdventures]

Interesting answer. I emailed them before I contacted you and they say not to run it under 15 percent or you can damage things. If you store it keep it over 50 percent charge.

[@HOBOTECH]

@@MWDAdventures I don't know who you talked to but that is totally untrue. You won't damage anything running it to zero. Now storing over 50% is correct advice.

[@ericvaughan11]

If you hooked up a 500w 12V inverter like you put in a car to run on this to run AC accessories would this be more efficient and use less power to charge AC accessories? Instead of using the AC outlet on this generator with built in inverter which uses more battery power than DC outlet?

A small inverter on the 12v would be more efficient. Just remember you can't draw more than about 130 watts from it.

An ad prior to your video for the Patriot Power Generator costs $2000 with a 100 watt solar panel. Looks like a similar item as the Jackery. I am a Patriot without buying a Patriot Power Generator!

I rather have my goal zero yeti... Jackery is the little brother to that.

@ Courtney Scullark yeti goal zero is pretty expensive including the boulder solar panels which at that point you could have used a gas generator.

love my yeti 1000. I needed something with at least 300w of solar in.

@@magamike1800 I have this thing called power king with 1000watt peak and I use regular old school 100 watt solar panels because I tried an ultralight folding panel but it broke and was a name brand rockpals so I just have a solar shed with extension cords .
