[@Anjanya1948]

A woman here after Hurricane Ian I never want to see another gas generator again in my life I am definitely in the market for one of these and will use your link when I buy I'm going to tell you I appreciate you so much because your reviews are wonderful and actually help me learn I have been wanting one of these for a long time but Jackie never made one big enough to run a refrigerator that is the biggest concern I have is my AC and my refrigerator. Therefore I would want 2 set ups. I would also like to know if they are expandable I like the solar array that's foldable that's cool

[@johnb528]

I’m glad you addresses the battery chemistry. It comes up in every Jackery review. I have always been a fan of theirs and also own some EcoFlow products. I’m glad Jackery is starting to update their product line. As somehow who doesn’t use their power stations often, I’m realizing the cycles on the different chemistry isn’t as big a factor for me personally. The safety though has always been a concern so I’m glad you addressed that. Years ago I started jumping on the lifepo4 or nothing train so maybe I can start to rethink that a bit for my individual needs. Thanks.

[@SilverCymbal]

Glad it was helpful. If the weight was the same or you were using it as a built in, daily full use, the iron phosphate is a no brainer but these things are gettign crazy heavy in t=he larger sizes, and I think Jackery is betting their customers want the most portability and will never see any degradation in probably 7+ years or more. Even the old little Jackerys seem to be doing very well for people.

Its not just its bec their battery is NMC but they charge such a premium for it for all their products, even older products. If they would bring the price down closer to the competitions I believe the chemistry of the battery would be less of a concern and more people will be willing to buy it despite it being NMC.

[@Dave--FkTheDeepstate]

Nice. $2800 to $4K seems pricey, but it might almost be (kWh) competitive with the Tesla Powerwall...? I wish Tesla would allow their cars to do V2H & power my home during an outage. My Model 3 is basically SIX+ Powerwalls worth of battery.

[@trustbuster23]

I totally get the value of the smaller units, they can be very handy. But I am struggling to imagine a situation where I'd buy this vs. a high-quality, 3,000 watt gas generator. This thing is so expensive it is in the ballpark of a Honda EU3000. Maybe there is some edge case where you just can't have a gas generator no matter what, but I just don't see the logic otherwise. It will be interesting to see how well these sell.

[@bctrafficreview5033]

If you are going to be off-grid for a while, the more power the better. And gas would eventually run out, while the sun is going to shine (just about) every day in many locations.

[@trustbuster23]

​@@bctrafficreview5033 I guess the real problem is actually the capacity of the battery vs the size of the inverter. If you have a 3000 watt inverter, you are going to want to use it to drive big loads, but this battery just isn't large enough to really use it that way for any length of time. You can't even run a single, small window AC all night on a charge. So, for most folks, this is either too much inverter for what you need, or not enough battery for what you plan to use it for.

[@Zkpe02]

Regardless what size your solar power station is and the number of solar panels you have, you’re still going to need a way to supplement your power needs & and a portable dual fuel pure sine wave generator fits that bill and complements your power needs night or day.

[@KissAnalog]

What you don’t realize is some of these companies in this business have small teams and maybe no electrical engineer doing hardware development that has a degree. Also LIFEpo4 doesn’t weight near twice as much as the NMC, but maybe 40% more. Great trade off for safety, and to last twice as long.

[@queenofmotivation9310]

Can you run a heat press on this

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

That’s an awesome generator and it looks extremely cool. I only wish that I made enough money to be able to afford to pay $4,000.00 for one. Unfortunately, when the power goes out, I’ll be sitting in the dark with all of the other poor folks hoping at least my beer stays cold. Great video!!!

[@bctrafficreview5033]

Get a smaller unit. They will have less capacity, but, at least, will give you some power for a bit. And you can always simultaneously charge them with solar panels to extend the run time (I believe models Jackery 500 and bigger support pass-through charging, though Jackery recommends that the input be higher than the output to prevent battery degradation over time).

Nice “minitel” ! that’s an antique 😅

[@KamieNJim]

What about the 30amp outlet? And use with RVs? Thoughts on that?

[@SilverCymbal]

Its a 120V 30anmp outlet so while it is designed for RV's some will use an adapter and power their house with it. 120v circuit only. It's not going to run central air but it will run more loads than most people would think

[@Art_64]

Is it lithium iron phosphate?

[@richarddonegan4666]

Finally they got a real power unit?

[@grantsdad98]

Have you tested the starting capacitor on the compressor?

[@SilverCymbal]

I probably should, its a great compressor and fucntions well. It is so bad that once I left it on accidentally we were on generator (Harbor Frieght 7000 watt) and it kept failing. It was old bertha trying to start up. Its just a horrible motor but good for a nasty overload test

[@revolcane]

Can this be stacked with other similar batteries, connected to home solar, and provide power in the evening?

[@bctrafficreview5033]

My understanding is that Jackeries (at least from model 500 and up) support pass-through charging, so nothing stops you from having one (or more) Jackeries charge the next one in sequence, and the last one then powering whatever needs to be powered. That said, I read on Jackery's website that, in order for the battery not to be degraded, the input has to be higher than the output. How much of a degradation and how fast would take place is unclear.

[@chriscollins2890]

Will this thing power a refrigerator deep freezer and TV for any amount of time

[@SilverCymbal]

Yes 24-36 for a fridge, maybe a bit more for a freezer

[@boydmoney3033]

Personally, I don't like how Jackery is proprietary in that they try to make you use their solar panels. They have made some steps to finally get closer to Bluetti and Ecoflow with this model but they can still do better. I know the lighter chemistry will appeal to some and will in turn be more portable. But since mine is being used everyday and not being moved around that much. I will go for a little heavier battery and a battery that will outperform this one 5+ years from now

[@carolynefaulkner6022]

Mine has been plugged in for almost 2 hours and not rising!

[@BrettsGarage]

I need something that can ideally put out 30 amp via a 120v outlet. It could potentially work on a 20 amp outlet. Would this work? Would it be possible to run via the 240v outlet and get a 240v to 120v outlet? For context I need to power a car lift every couple months while in a rental home. It requires 30 amp through a 120v outlet. Currently runs on 20 amp and trips the breaker every once in a while.

[@Drewcardello]

Late response but it probably could through the 30 amp RV port.

[@LalangOmar-gv1hf]

how match?

[@KamieNJim]

Thoughts on Anker Powerhouse 767 vs a comparable sized Jackery? Which one would you spend your money on?

[@SilverCymbal]

I would choose the 767 amzn.to/3MJQmAE mainly that it has more features and is Lithium Iron phosphate batteries. I personally use my potables a LOT so charges cycles and life of the batteries is a bigger deal for me. But the Jackery does have more output so if you had to have that and were ok with the standard batteries the Jackery is a good choice. But if I was buying today the 767 would get my money.

[@poopsmcgee2k6]

It's fine that they choose to use a lighter and less expensive battery. But then they price it higher than the more expensive battery. And they have no control over their factories. There will be knock offs all over amazon for less than half the price within months. For those two reasons there is absolutely no reason to buy this unit for almost 3000 dollars. I'm sure Jackery will soon find out that few people will pay that much.

[@antoinemorcos1321]

Do you know how much can it charge a Tesla? Thank you.

[@CharlieRasch]

My concern is when charging at 1800w, you are going over the recommended current of the circuit. Most wall outlet circuits are rated for 15A at 120v. The max recommended usage of the circuit is 80% of the circuit rating. This means the maximum recommended running wattage for a 120v @ 15A is 1440 watts. I hope you are using a 20A circuit to charge at 1800w.

[@SilverCymbal]

Good point, it didn't trip my 15amp break but you can lower the charging speed rate in the app to force it to charge at lower wattages. This is especially useful if you were using a tiny gas generator to charge it off grid.

[@fk319fk]

My issue is how it handles drills and hammer drills. I figure a vacuum is less "noisy."

[@SilverCymbal]

It should have no issue with those, as long as there running watts are under 3000 watts

[@bluej511]

Imagine charging this on 240/16a. Would take even less time if they have it built into that. Would be great to see a video of you taking it apart, if you can even take it apart. I wish these units and other manufacturers made it easy to remove and replace the batteries, pretty much like every UPS manufacturer does.

[@tontonn9995]

Any chance you can charge an EV with this? Any way you could test on how fast ti would charge a tesla or Rivian or ?? Wondering if it would serve as an emergency backup unit if you were going off grid camping in your EV. Using the solar panels would also help if you camped for multiple days in the sunshine.

Here is a major issue I have with every single battery on the market. It needs a 240 volt port at 30 amps. I am not trying to run a dryer, or a stove. I need to run a well pump during an outage. It pulls maybe 1200 watts. I need to hook a NEMA L14-30P to L14-30R Generator Cord into a 30 amp generator inlet which goes yo a switch. Considering European versions get the 240 volt options. Take the European version and split the phases for American 120 volt and provide one 240 volt port that disables the 120 volt if necessary to pull this off. I just need to be able to power a well pump and boiler without having yo invest 10k for two batteries and a connector kit.

[@simon359]

I’m trying to understand how they went from 500 cycles to 2000?

[@SilverCymbal]

They didn't really go to 2000. The batteries are only 100% capacity for 600 or so cycles, they go to 70 after 1000 or more. But it degenerates 1%, 2%, etc. I absolutely love lithium iron phosphate dont get me wrong, but the weigjt is terrible if you want to move one easily and most peopel use about 10 charge cycles per month at most. Some even less, so will the batteries become noticely bad over time? yes but how long do any of these stay relevant. Its really up to you and what matters most, price etc.

[@SilverCymbal]

I honestly thought that 2 years ago, but I think the market for these is 100x bigger than I even though. We are all a little different, I don't use solar that much, others thats all they use. Some get built in, so LiFePO4 is the only way to go, other use them for work. I even used two original Deltas at a medical site outdoors running centrifuges during covid. So its all over the board.

Jackery's target is outdoor activities the se the lighter unit. This in not the unit for 24/7 home use, you should get a powerwall in that case to allow selling unused energy. I would defintely not use a Bluetti or Ecoflow and not able to resell that extra electricity
