Jackery Sale! Which Size Portable Power Station Do You Need?

[@IlluminatiSilver]

The 500 ran our home 6ft freezer unit for 10 hours from 100% charge. Hope this helps. So it can be used in an emergency at home for a short term power cut - one must assume therefore that the 1000w will give around twice that.

[@peterschmitt9802]

I got the Jackary 500 for my 7-week trip out to CA and back to TN. I set it up to charge from the car and it's 12v outlet was connected to my Apicool C20. The Jackary charging from the car easily kept up with the draw from the fridge. In a test, it ran the fridge for 48 hours and it consumed about 70% of the Jackary's battery. I also recommend getting Jackary's solar panel.

[@Eugen-2u]

Hi bud. Quick question. Do u get 6-8 w output power when nothing is plugged in and the buttons are on? Is that normal? And mine won t go to 100% charge after sitting plugged in for hrs. Stopped at 99

Just FYI…I got the JACKERY 240, and, it runs my cpap in remote locations without power, for 8 hours, PLUS my phone and tablet while I watch videos/surf the net several hrs before I turn on the cpap and go to sleep. At the end of the night, I still have 34-38 % ….then it takes 4-4.5 hrs to recharge at home in the wall outlet. Btw I use the 110v wall adapter for my cpap, as I haven’t purchased the car adapter yet, and the tech at JACKERY said I could save an additional 15% from the power conversion if I do use the car adapter to power my cpap!!! I’m VERY impressed!!

The 300 is a much better unit than the 240. The 300 has a newer style solar controller. MPPT on the 300 and PWM on the 240, so it will charge in about half of the time. I am guessing that once the supplies of the 240 are gone, it will no longer be offered.

I had just recently purchased the 240 to use in case of power outages for small electronics, so I haven't actually used it yet. I don't camp so I didn't think I needed something with a lot of power, just for the basics. Plus it was the only one I could afford at this time but I'd love to eventually get the 1000 so I can power more things.

[@LoveThyPitBull]

I camp with a CPAP (Resmed S10) & a Jackery 240 and use a DC to DC adapter to reduce the power consumption of the CPAP (DC/DC is more efficient then DC/AC {outlet}) . 7 to 8 hours of use and the most I have used in one night was 40% of power with the humidifier off, heated hose off, and wifi off {plan mode}. Then I use a Rockpals 60W solar panel to top if off and I can go for days.

[@fasttrack9395]

Re your comment on the shortcomings of your roof mounted panel, I do not like a roof mounted solar panel because if you are in the sun for a recharge, you are baking hot. Put a leg on the panel along with a longer cable and place it in the sun. This way you can position the panel for optimal angle and orientation periodically throughout the day.

I appreciated your video. Straightforward, Factual, Concise. I looking to buy a Jackery unit. Ultimately I'll love to own the Explorer 1000 but that is above my budget level. At 70+ years old, I don't need much portable power when I'm van camping (fishing trips mostly). 370watt 12V or 450watt 12V Rice Cooker or RoadPro Wamer/Oven, an set of LED String Lights and a small USB Fan and my cell phone I'm GO TO GO. Would the Jackery 500 be able to handle those simple needs for a rainy day or an overnight trip? I love that Jackery is pretty much Plug and Play. No having to control it via a cell phone application. YOUR feedback would be most helpful and much appreciated. Thanks 😊!

[@Weathernerd27]

Those Jackerys are expensive. The 1000 watt Jackery holds about 46 amp hours. You can get a deep cycle marine battery that holds 200 amp hours for about the same price as the Jackery . 1000. Hooking up the deep cycle battery is more complicated you need an inverter, fuse and you need to understand the difference between a series and parallels connection but you get alot more power for you're money. 46 amp hours is plenty if you are spending an evening out with only basic camping supplies but if you are trying to live in you're Van 3 or 4 days a week like me and run a mini-fridge/laptop you need alot more than 46 amp hours.

Will I be able to have this for my hydroponic garden for years? Or will it die on me about a year in. Its for 15hr a day use 60watt led, I believe I’m getting the jackery 500

What type of batteries does Jackery use? Very deep discharges will quickly, permanently damage a Li-ion battery. Internal metal plating can occur causing a short circuit, making the battery unusable and unsafe. I worry about discharging when the power station isn't used for a long (once a month) time.

[@lindanelson8969]

Thank you. I was really stumped about which to get, you made it so much easier to decide. 😊

Do Jackery make 5000 watts portable generators?

With the jackery, I'd like to know a novice question. This will allow me to load my smart phone that has You Tube , right. If I plan to live in a regular car I can plug it in where and can I be somewhere like my mom's and use her electric sock? If I want to boil water for coffee or make simple food is there an appliance that uses the jackery. I know that you read a lot of weird questions each day. I am a super amateur and a minimalist so you answering these will really help. Please answer.

You'd plug the Jackery into your car's cigarette lighter... That's actually a "12 volt" socket. You can also charge it by plugging it into a regular house socket or an electric socket at a campground. And, of course, it can be charged withsolar power. I'm pretty sure any of the Jackery batteries can charge your smart phone. As for the other products, I'll have to defer to someone else. Good luck!

@@catherinejohns8449 I really appreciate the information. I have gotten into vanlife info, esp living in a car. I am turning into a minimalist as well. No matter how many times I saw this product I couldn't get it. I guess you know I was never one to go camping, but life changes and so do we
