How practical is the Jackery Explorer 300 for everyday use | household testing

[@humbie5150]

This has been the most real review of this product. Every other review out there is a bunch of wanna be hippies only talking about this product. Thanks for actually showing what it will/won’t power.

[@JDubbsadventure]

Thanks for watching. I’ll try to show a product strengths and weakness

[@K1DTC]

Exactly what i was looking for. Wasn’t to interested in the other ones. This told me exactly what i can’t or can use it for. Thanks!! Looks like I’ll be buying a bigger one or just keep my generator 😂

[@dothedewinme]

That’s literally damn hardest part of figuring out of all these things. No even kidding, like effing the practical application. Learning about all the watt hours and stuff is great but that doesn’t mean THAT much to me because I don’t know enough about it. What actually is useful is what can to power and for how long?

[@JawnBoganee]

I agree, thank you so much for saving me 160$

[@shelbyob1]

it actually did NOT run your big fridge, it just doesn't have the wattage to handle a load from the larger compressor. You may hear the compressor making noise but its not running it. An average home refrigerator uses about 200 to 400 watts to run but requires 800 to 1200 for surge or starting watts. Just check inside your fridge or on the back by the model for exact usage and start watts you need. Therefore the little Jackery (GREAT PRODUCT) is not enough to run the large appliances. But be very careful running any form of generator that does not supply the full amount of start up load for your appliance or you risk the possibility of damaging your compressor in the long run and causing pre-mature failure. A larger generator would work but remember you will draw down quickly your battery source. A 300 watt generator is perfect for running small lights or charging phones, laptops or evening running a printer but can not handle larger appliances with cooling or heating elements. Thanks for the videos! Hope this helps.

The jackery is great. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching

[@sarahmoorman6936]

good advice, makes me think I'll need a jackery 500 for my small sound equipment (for singing) to be on the safe side even though some think I shd get the cheapest one possible (like the 2 or 300)...

[@adraneharris]

so which one would power a 10a 48v battery for an ebike...

[@billyscanlon1113]

What I don't think you mentioned is that this particular fridge seems to cool only the freezer, and then transfer that cooled space into the fridge side. The noise heard in the video was clearly the fan that blows air from the freezer into the refrigerator. There was no compressor running during that fridge test...... It is rare to have a refrigerator with two compressors; one for the freezer and one for the fridge. That was just the fan taking air from the freezer and cooling the fridge.

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

I think that with these power stations, a lot depends on how much the appliance uses when it's winding up. Many have high power requirements for the first minutes or so. Another thing... the manufacturers recommend that for longest service, do not use more than 60% of the juice before recharging. 👍

[@JDubbsadventure]

Most of these examples where to push it to the limit.. I wouldn’t think the manufacturer would agree with my testing method. Thanks for watching

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

@@JDubbsadventure Understood. Great job on the video! It was very informative.

[@thomastheman7331]

Also, the big fridge cycles the compressor on and off to maintain constant temperature. So it only uses energy from the Jackery when compressor kicks in for a few minutes at a time.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I think the 1000-1500 would do a lot better, thanks for watching

[@shelbygarcia3121]

If I'm not mistaken, it ran your big fridge cause it didn't actually run it haha...meaning it powered the lights and low electricity led buttons water pump etc, but there's no way in hell it's running any compressor lol.. no like others have said, it's really only good for charging small devices. Unfortunately if you want a battery that's practical for appliances, you need a 1500w-2500 and they run 1000 up to 4000.. it sucks cause that's what I need something to power electric cookware on the road, but I can't justify spending 1,200 on a damn battery... Just ranting. Enjoyed the video!

[@JDubbsadventure]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video… I might need to make another one checking smaller house hold appliances

[@stubones]

The fridge compressor only needs 40w to run. They’re not exactly power hungry.

[@ekilmartin2000]

Well, I think the man said that the compressor kicked in, am I wrong. I agree- that is miracle country. My 2kw generator doesn't like my fridge and has been known to leave the room when the compressor surge arrives. Isn't science wonderful?! Oh, BTW, thank you to the 'Man' for all that work there.

[@RobertDickens2002]

I have run a fridge on a 400w inverter

[@billyscanlon1113]

@@ekilmartin2000 In the video, you can clearly hear that it's just the fan blowing air from the freezer to the fridge side. The compressor is not running. There is definitely noise, but most refrigerators do not have two compressors. He opened the fridge side when he should have opened the freezer side. Refrigerators without two compressors cool the freezer with the compressor, and then transfer cool air to the fridge side from the freezer.

[@JDubbsadventure]

@@Banyo__ check out my review of the jackery 1500

[@smileysun9212]

First I bought the Jackery 290, another one & then the 300 all around $200. I got them mostly to run CPAP’s for my family for camping & power outages. The 290 I can get about 3-4 nights when I turn off humidifier & auto start. I don’t run a heated hose & don’t use the ramp air. I have the ResMed auto 10 & use the 12v adapter. I have used the CPAP with 110 in the 290 & could get 2-3 nights. I took the 290 camping for CPAP, blew up air bed & charged my electronics. I know I could do the same thing for another night without charging but I charged it with a 120 watt solar panel & after being gone from camp for 10hrs it was charged. After seeing this video I got my 300 out to charge it & after a year of sitting it shows it’s fully charged but I stuck it on the charger. I can’t see myself going any bigger & I got another solar panel. Even have a small generator to run small things & to charge with but wish it ran on propane. I have a generator that I converted to propane to run the house. I don’t have ac but it runs the dryer & not the microwave at same time. It will run the furnaces & the freezers just fine with a $500 generator with 8,750 watts. Now I’m looking to see what the 300 will cook. Be nice if I had a way to boil water & cook canned food if i can’t go outside. Most of the time I can go outside to cook on the grill or one of my portable gas stoves & I have some that uses wood or both.

[@JDubbsadventure]

Good idea

[@davesdiversions8078]

Most electrical appliances have stickers on the back listing power requirements. All of your counter top appliances will require 1000-1500w.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I had a few people ask if this unit would run certain items. I didn’t have high hopes but it was meant to be educational and to show what all you get

[@rdvaughan70]

if you get a 1200watt inverter and several truck batteries you can run high end power items, the 2 highest power items are coffee makers n microwaves

The 300w is a great little power backup for plugging a light in and/or keeping your devices charged during a power outage but unfortunately it isn’t any good for appliances. I have the 300w but I probably should have bought the 500w.

My small jackety is usually used to power video production equipment and dose it quite well. I often use it on my day job to run work LED work lights and small power tools. I even was crazy enough to try to powe a small digital sound mixer and two powered speakers each with 1000 watt class D amplifiers... Well it did it and we were able to reach a reasonable volume level for about 1 1/2 hours. Then it needed a charge. I usually recharge it over night in the work van and am ready for the next day. Long story short the small jackery is good for small or high efficiency equipment that don't need high amounts starting surge power but it simply will not handle large power draw appliances .

These portable batteries cannot power resistive heating elements easily. Even if its in their power range their sensors trigger. Some things will run easily because of their efficiency and careful powerhandling like your big fridge. Such things do not trigger the sensor but yes any sort of resistance that this battery finds unacceptable even in some motors it will power off. In case of appliances like blenders where they will pull variable power like 500w then suddenly 800w once you put ice in it or sometning.... the jackery will hesitate here alot it does not like too much variable current draw.

Seems perfect , Is it possible to live in remote area and all rely on the power station.?

[@JDubbsadventure]

It depends on the power you require. I love off grid multiple time a month using just the 300 or 240. I use it for lights charging phones and cameras and never needed more. If you want more of a house unit I’d look Into the 1500 or I think there’s a 2000 watt unit. Thanks for watching

[@CadManic]

How long can you run a fan?

[@JDubbsadventure]

Yes I believe that’s in part 2

[@ugglyfaceproductions]

great video..I have a halo jump starter and it wont even power an ebike battery @10A 48v...I was wondering which one i need to buy..

[@JDubbsadventure]

Thanks for watching. a simple amps to watts converter on google will give you a good starting point to look. 10 amps at 48v = 480 watts… I’d go with a 1000 or the 1500 is $600 refurbished on Amazon right now I’ll be doing a video on the 1500 any day now

It's Tre crowder'$ cousin good real life review thank's

[@TheWest5241]

do you think this could power a 7 cubic ft chest freezer?

[@JDubbsadventure]

I wouldn’t think so. If it could your not gonna get much time. I’d look more at 500-1000w or a 12 volt fridge

[@wakeoutdoors]

What about charging power tool batteries?

[@JDubbsadventure]

Not sure but I can try it and get back to you

[@wakeoutdoors]

@@JDubbsadventure doing Gods work

[@MachineOak09]

I was wondering the same thing, how it handled charging cordless tool batteries.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I changed my ridgid 2amph battery today and the unit worked well pulls about 50 watts but never cut off. The time was the same as if I had it plugged in the wall

[@onedirection3510]

How can it power a full sized refrigerator but not a little coffee maker!?? 🧐

[@JDubbsadventure]

Different power draw.

[@Ann__333]

We had scheduled power outage a week ago. I was very sad to find out my jackery 500 does not run my coffee maker. Very sad indeed.

[@JDubbsadventure]

The 1500 maybe more what your looking for

[@sandirobinson6966]

One of those simple kill-o-watt power monitors would have told you the same thing with fewer contortions. I'd advise anybody who is thinking about one of these Jackerys to invest 15 bucks in a meter/monitor to first decide how large a power unit you need to buy for whatever you want to power. Personally, I sprung for the 880, (will supply 1000 with a 2000watt surge) because I know it will power either my fridge or freezer. Tip: ANYTHING with a heater is gonna be a power black hole. Yeepers - I clocked my danged toaster at an 800 watt draw. Also, your kitchen fridge might be a lot newer or just plain a lot more energy efficient than the cheesy little dorm fridge. Needs further research on your part. Like I said - get one of those Kill-o-watt meters. Watch when it kicks in for the startup surge.

[@JDubbsadventure]

Good info I do have a “kill-o-watt” meter. Thanks for watching

[@lisaarrick3951]

I bet it would we work on some old school appliances like Mr coffee or a electric skillet

[@JDubbsadventure]

It might. I don’t have any to test

[@ToniWall]

I purchased my Jackery Explorer 300 because I needed an outlet to plug my laptop into in an area of my apartment that didn’t have an outlet.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I use my almost everyday day for this

[@MigdaliaQuinones-p4i]

U have to turn on the on button first them put the setting on😊

[@JDubbsadventure]

Yes

[@chrissmits3215]

Would this work to charge a 36 v trolling motor system for my boat ...I would hook it up to a noco so I would just need one plug to charge the deep cycle batteries ...would u recommend this product?

[@JDubbsadventure]

To charge maybe I’m not sure You need to find out how many watt hours are in your battery’s now. Your gonna need that plus what it takes to run the inverter. I enjoy mine but I haven’t tried it for such a demanding Application

[@chrissmits3215]

Thank you

[@8446jodie]

What about a heated blacket

[@JDubbsadventure]

I have a 120v one it makes it about 8 hours and I have a 12v one that last about 20

[@RebelL33T]

Will this run 18000 lumens work light?

[@JDubbsadventure]

I would say yes but it depends. 18000 with led will use less watts then 18000 of halogen

[@marting8841]

Just read the watts needed for each appliance and compare it to the max output of the Jackery (300 W).

[@JDubbsadventure]

That wouldn’t make an interesting video

[@maungsoe5670]

Can we use it heater and how long

[@JDubbsadventure]

Nope

[@CAESAR_IS_GOD_mohammadisaloser]

do you happen to know of a good portable battery solution that I can use with a holographic fan so I can walk around in public with the holographic fan? they say the holographic fan requires 60 watts. ALSO, is it safe to keep the power station in a vented backpack on your back like will it give me back cancer or something? any (brand/model) recommendations ? I just want the smallest power supply I can find that can power it for at least 1-2+ (2+ preferably) hours.

[@JDubbsadventure]

That’s out of my expertise you will have to contact jackery

[@lauraharris60]

Maybe the big refrigerator is energy efficient maybe that makes a difference Because energy efficient uses less power somehow slower or something I don't know

[@JDubbsadventure]

Definitely a possibility

[@larryking4819]

Can you charge it by plug it in

[@JDubbsadventure]

Yes ac and solar power

[@cortez7393]

It took an hour to charge from 95% to 100%?

[@JDubbsadventure]

Most things slow down when you get to 95% so you don’t over charge it. Your phone also does it but with the smaller battery it’s not as noticeable

[@ymgkz]

Would it run a window ac

[@JDubbsadventure]

Maybe a VERY small one. But I’m gonna say no

[@yohanbrad4095]

But how long can it run the fridge... no one answers that question

[@JDubbsadventure]

Not sure, it would depend on the outside temp, how often your in the fridge, how efficient your fridge runs, how often your compressor cuts on and for how long. And I’m sure other things

[@swaggod226]

Will this power regular lamps for power

[@JDubbsadventure]

Yes without any problems

[@RiPCORD100]

Look at that little toy jackery

[@JDubbsadventure]

There all toys at this size

[@sherrybrown368]

When it overloads, you have to give it a break. It happened when I was charging.

[@JDubbsadventure]

I’ll try it out

[@CherokezPittman]

[@JOMprodOfficial]

do you still recommend this...i want to get somethign to power up a laptop continuously

[@JDubbsadventure]

Yes we use ours for this often

[@dannyj5688]

You would have to have the fridge plugged in at least an hour.... end result....it would not power the fridge

[@JDubbsadventure]

I need to test out the 500

[@shepfc1962]

You should try your big fridge raider again if you shut off that means those things that’s up to it the coffee maker and all that stuff that’s up to that lol Jack they

[@JDubbsadventure]

Alright

[@Lionessbubblegum]

What about an air fryer?

[@JDubbsadventure]

Check video 2 I believe it’s on there
