This thing kept my 75 year old mom alive during Hurricane Ida. Thank God I bought it for her last Christmas. She was so confused when she opened it but since she's on oxygen and we live in Southeast Louisiana, I knew it was a MUST. I hate to say it, I was right. It ran her oxygen for 3 full days. Thankfully, that was all she needed. This time. I highly recommend the Jackery portable battery for anyone who needs emergency power.

She has the blue home oxygen concentrator, right? and this ran it for 3 days? Do you think it would have run a refrigerator and a freezer for an hour a day in addition to the concentrator?

I purchased the Jackery 1000 a few months ago. I did not purchase the Jackery solar panels because they were more expensive then other quality solar panels on the market. The 1000 came with adaptors for other solar panels and they have worked beautifully. I have only used my Jackery on shorter camping trips and for that purpose it worked great. I watched tv and KZbins on my iPad. I made coffee several times and it easily handled those things. I would probably have purchased a larger Jackery for prepping purposes but at the time I was only getting it for camping. Finally the Jackery is simple to use. I had no experience before I purchased it and I was using it within secs of setting it up. I love this channel.

@@ItsEverythingElse go for a 3 quart instant pot mini they use only 700 W to start up and the running wattage is around 75w. So in theory with my fully charged EB 55 I could run the instant pot for about giver take 8 to 9 hours. And an instant pot can cook a fully frozen chicken in about 15 minutes, you could theoretically feed an entire family off of a 60 W solar panel even running the mini. I do however recommend at least 120 W if not 200 W solar panels to go with the generator.

I bought one of these for 'camping' in the back of my truck in the cap. It was terrific. I also used it driving around, it was charging from my truck, and I could keep all of my items charged. At night, I just carried it to the back, and used it for lights, watching shows on my laptop. I didn't mind buying it at all, since it is another form of power storage for my home. Everything I bought for a camping trip was also prepper stuff, so no money wasted. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. :)

[@kbjerke]

Thanks for the review - I sort of wish I had held off on my purchase until I'd seen it, but last week I bought a Jackery Explorer 500, for use in the home in the event of an emergency. It was not exactly inexpensive, about the same cost as my 4500 watt gas generator ($650) but should suffice for providing power to my lighting and electronics. I have four 80 watt solar panels on my roof, so recharging should not be an issue. Just ordered a cable to get that correct 8mm end. Actually, this thing is probably more of a "stop - gap" cure for my situation - my solar controller failed about a year ago, and the sealed lead acid batteries I was using are now beyond redemption. I have a new, replacement controller and will be slowly replacing my batteries as time and funds allow. Thanks again for a comprehensive review!

[@littleoldlady4154]

There is a rain collection water pit on this homestead. It is a pain to open the access door to get water so I set up a sump pump with a hose and I am aware that I may have to go back to opening the access and using buckets. But I cannot afford a bigger system just for that. I mainly use the water from the pit during summer droughts to water the garden. It's there in case I need it and I would filter and treat it if I need to drink it. What would be some other options to get water from the pit?

[@stevekemble8911]

I have been using a Jackery 300 for over a year. Initially I didn't buy it for my CPAP, but that is what it has been used for several times now. I only wish I had purchased the Jackery 500 as the 300 model will get me through a couple of nights and I would like it to last longer. I might be able to do that with the 300 by switching the CPAP to use its 12v plug, but so far I run it from the 120v outlet just fine. A bigger model will give you more options with run time or powering other items.

I bought the 1000 with 2 panels to use for charging devices when van camping and as a household backup. We had a power outage a few days after the unit arrived and used it to power our modem for about 9 hours and only took the battery down to 92%. Our home has no cell reception so without the modem we are cut off from basic communication and can't even call 911 so for powering the modem alone it's completely worth it.

It only has 500 lifecycle recharges before the battery capacity degrades. Only buy solar generators that use LifePO4 batteries for 2,000+ to 3,500+ lifecycles. That’s 4x to 7x the lifespan of a Jackery.

[@CityPrepping]

yeh, in the past, a lot of these companies went with Lithium to keep the weight down, but many are now switching over to LifePO4 to achieve that longer life cycle.

You mean 500 full cycles before you're at 80% capacity? Please, if you're going to try to discredit something, at least be factually correct.

Proprietary equipment is a negative for me. I don’t have solar equipment yet, but I do like the idea of having options with compatible equipment.

[@sentinel5555]

I considered the Jackery 1500s but for home backup decided upon the Ecoflow delta max with 2 x smart batteries and 4 x 160 watt panels. I used a killawatt monitor and found out my full sized fridge plus chest freezer draws approximately 3000 watts per day, I didn't want to keep swapping out 1500s to charge them. So the 6000 watts from the Ecoflow would allow a minimum of 2 days of fridge/freezer use with pass through charging via solar at the same time.

[@rocketsurgery8337]

It definitely has the let's go camping look and I appreciate that. I have a Bluetti 1500w unit that I bought a year ago for $1300. They lowered the price to $999 and I just checked and it's now $949 on Amazon. My Bluetti is strictly to power my wifi and security cameras during power outages. I like how mine came with an MC4 adapter. I currently have 360w of solar panels, 500Ah AGM Batteries and a 3000w inverter on order. I guess if I want to expand I'll probably just add another battery or two. Thanks for your videos and stay safe.

We have the smallest size Jackery and one portable solar panel. We use it for recharging mobile phones, Kindles and rechargeable lanterns when we are boondocking during the winter in our RV way off grid in the desert Southwest. I prefer to use a wall outlet to fully charge the power bank before each RV trip, but the solar panel is good enough to top off the charge after a few days of using the power bank to charge small devices. The power bank charges much slower with the solar panel than when charging from a wall outlet. I like that the small Jackery is lightweight enough that it is easy for me to lift it and is small enough to stow away in a small space in the RV. For powering the RV's AC unit just long enough for cooling at bedtime or for running the microwave/convection oven, we use our RV's onboard Onan generator. No need for us to haul around a large size Jackery power bank when we boondock.

[@richardowens9061]

Solar panels, as you note, do not provide a consistent output, depending on the available sunlight. So, a good combination would be a small 1kw-2kw gas/propane powered inverter generator that could be used with the standard wall charger for this device. This would maximize the use of the power from the ICE generator, while providing a faster charging capability for the battery pack in the solar generator. You could run the ICE generator for a few hours to both charge the Jackery and run your other loads at the same time, then use the Jackery alone, once it is fully charged.

[@OnusBones]

I cannot possibly justify their prices, especially limited to 800 cycles since they are Lithium Ion rather than Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). I have researched quite a few power stations, own a few of them, and Jackery hasn't made the cut. Their smaller models are well-known for abysmal charging speeds since their input wattage is very limited. Their solar panels are said to be excellent, but again their prices are not competitive at all. If you need high capacity and have some electronics knowledge, a DIY approach may be your most cost-effective option. If you prefer a turnkey solution, the larger Bluetti products containing LiFePO4 cells are, IMHO, the better choice.

i'll do a video shortly comparing the various solar generators on the market and i'll go over batteries at that time.

Will you ever review the Bluetti 200AC?

LIke it. I have the Jackery 240 (UK version). I work remotely sometimes and using a 12v car charger type lead, I can keep my laptop running for 8+ hours, as it only draws 21w, and still have 2 hours left in the laptop battery instead of using 60w if I use a UK mains AC power laptop lead in my Jackery's AC port.

As a Michiganian, I am worried about back-to-back weather events that might knock out electricity for a month in the winter. Can the Jackery hold up to that?

That's so nice for those that have the money to purchase it. But Thank You so much.

I'm still confused on how people use the term "pass through charging". My understanding is pass through is associated with UPS function and the Jackery does not. I have an Ecoflow which has a simple UPS and while charging and discharging, the input and output wattage is about the same.

I'm not a fan of the 1500 and 2000. They went all weird with these. That jackery 300 is the best one they made. I got a good chuckle out of your struggling to flip that egg. Ha

Live in the New Orleans area. Most interested in powering a Refrigerator and maybe a window AC Unit. What shoud I be looking for in a Jackery or other unit unit ? Dennis
