Jackery 1000 - SO MUCH POWER, but what is it good for?

[@roberthiggins986]

I used the 240 for something completely different, and that was performing music for a charity function, where I was able to power 2 15 inch powered PA speakers,, a pedal board, acoustic electric and a microphone for a 3 hour performance. I tested it a few times before, so. I knew it would work.

Finally , someone that can give me a rough idea of what devices these machines can power and for how long. Thank you !!!

[@davideyt1242]

Most people are clueless, it's not about "what can it run", because with a 1000W peak you can run many things.. the real question should be "for how long can it run it?", and probably also another question "what replacement battery is available to purchase when the 500 cycles are through... if a replacement is possible at all". if you can run an electric water kettle, but after 3 uses your battery bank is dry. it's truly worthless

[@mreverybody1150]

The Jackery 500 has slow solar charge times, but they did an update to address this by adding MPPT (instead of PWM).

[@lesselavie7675]

I bought a J1000...powered my full fridge for 14 hours. Bought a second one to ensure I have one on power and one on charge all the time...all on one set of panels. Love it!

[@The_Mister]

I considered getting one of these...but in the end decided less is more. A simple power bank to charge my phone, Bluetooth speaker and LED flashlight is fine. The more I set up, the more I have to take down when breaking camp.

[@jliotti]

Great video. We live in the mountains and are often out of power. We have a gas generator, but to keep our neighbors happy we shut it off around 10pm. This will serve as a overnight power source plus for overlanding and for base camp use. Thanks for the great content.

[@RevereOverland]

That’s a great use. I just got a Bluetti AC200P to test out. It has even more power, and would be great for home power, but is a little too large for camping!

I just purchased the Jackery 1000. It was on sale for $699.00. This is a very robust unit. Looking forward to having it provide power to multiple appliances/PC/Cell phones/ drone while on the road full time RVing.

[@Choppini]

Edit 3 months later: WOW!!! Taking my 'new best friend' JACK to SUV camping, together with one 100w solar panel, which I ordered last month. What a pleasure! Since I never had it run down to 0%, it is quickly charged up if you do it daily. Good feeling also to have it at home, still playing around with it, for the case of future power-outs. One week after I received the Jackery1000, we had the first one... BINGO!!! No panic anymore.. Even the 1800w Sunbeam Induction Cook Top runs perfectly on 1/2 power, still providing 700w/medium heat (300°F). Connecting it with the LED under-cupboard-disc-lights makes the kitchen usable, they draw 6w together. July 2021: I just ordered the Jackery Explorer 1000 for SUV camping, BUT: I discovered that this thing is going to be a life-saver in case of a power out. Most appliances in my apartment do not draw too much energy, the 24" 5ft-high energy efficient fridge w. upper freezer department, the portable washer: 3.6 Amp! Bblender, small water kettle, toaster, 2 different size food processors, vacuum cleaner, little coffee maker, TV, stereo, window fans, 900w microwave..... I am not through with writing everything down that draws less and WAY LESS than 1000 watts. This is amazing, haven't thought about all that when ordering it. Sometimes we have - usually in winter - power-outs for several hours, sometimes for a whole day. I'm very excited now, also because there will be 'real' light with at least one big lamp with an LED lamp. Additional it will make my SUV camping trips a real pleasure. I did not get the solar panels, but the Jackery can load up energy while being connected to the 12V plug during the drive.

[@med1pilot1956]

Very encouraging. We just bought the 1000 based on my own personal research, but it was very comforting after watching your video to validate my decision. It hasn't arrived yet (I hope we are not part of that whole backorder thing), but we are looking forward to trying it out in our travel trailer.

[@roadcruiser2030]

I ran my Mr. Coffee on this Jackery 1000 and it did fine. I think it pulled about 7% of the capacity for six cups.

[@cayman9873]

Thats reasonable. Depends on how the power meter is calibrated. The first 7 percent power loss might actually be 20 percent of the unit.. depends on how they did it.

[@lemaitrethemonk]

I picked up a Jackery 1000 due to living near the gulf of Mexico(Hurricane alley). I use it for the Dometic and I plan on doing a duel battery setup in the future. During hurricane Ike(2008). We did not have power for nine days. The Jackery is going to be great for 12 volt fans, radios, electronics and other accessories. The initial price shock is a little difficult , considering I purchased the 1000 and two solar panels. But, I plan on using the two solar panels for the duel battery set up as well. Having redundancy when it comes to power needs, especially for natural disasters, is a must for us Texas Gulf Coasters. Cheers, blessings, health and four wheel low, Ya'll...

[@RevereOverland]

A agree with the price. It's at the price point where you could have a great dual battery setup, but the portability of this is a big bonus! I'm sure you going to find it very useful when you're in an area at risk of power outages!

[@tlembro]

Just about to buy this thing…I think it is just what we need. We are just regular people who live in Florida……lights out is common here!

I am considering getting the 1000w Jackery to run my heater in my cabin when the power goes out. I want something portable so I can use it in my car, van, and vintage travel trailer. I need something that can be moved around and not just be stationary.

[@RevereOverland]

The portable power is great, but it would really depend what type of heater. This won’t run an electric space heater for very long.

[@lynnsweet6902]

@@RevereOverland I live in Rural Alaska. I have a Toyo Oil Miser Heater, it heats with heating oil. I mainly need the power to run the fan, the electric ignition, and allow the temperature gauges to work. I looked it up and the most power it uses is 275 watts for preheating. I also need the power to run a hanging lamp that has a LED Light bulb in it- my cabin is very small. Right now I use a Honda Generator but in order to get the power to the heater, I have to run an exension cord through the kitchen window which ends up letting most of the heat out with the window cracked open. It is also difficult to get the generator setup and started in the dark, which normally happens at night or very early morning. The cabin is not yet finished and is very rustic. I have been looking at other methods for powering the heater when the power goes out. The Jackery or something similar would be very versatile and can be used when travelling.

[@davideyt1242]

you should check for your use case the capacity rather than the wattage of the power bank... the Jackery 1000 has a 44AH battery, which is ok but won't be able to power a furnace for too long before the battery is at 20%

[@gabrielfranco9786]

@@RevereOverland that’s what I was sad about after watching this video, is that it can’t really power a space heater, even a small one for that. I really want to power a space heater for when I go winter camping because I don’t want to use a propane buddy heater.

[@moonsengineeringadventures623]

I have a GE fridge ( ~2015 model, standard side, top freezer ) and when I on vacation my apartment was drawing 1kwh , only plugged in was the fridge, so that's a 24 hour period, probably rounding up to 1kwh since that's what the power company is charging me for (source is my smart meter) pretty awesome how efficient modern fridges are !

I want the Jackery 1000 so bad 😍 but its price is too high for my budget😏

[@Don-md6wn]

The Jackery 1000 Pro is a big step up from the Jackery 1000 in 2 very important ways - the time to charge it from 0 to 100% off a wall plug has been cut from 7 hours to a little under 2 hours, and the number of charges to 100% the unit is rated for has doubled from 500 to 1000. If you're camping out of your vehicle and moving around, the faster recharging time is huge. I don't use solar panels with my 1000 Pro, but I think it's about the same reduction in recharging time as off an AC plug.

[@stukorth9097]

I bought a goal zero 500x for my wife’s Cpap. Very expensive. It lasted one night and used my Honda generator to recharge for the next night. Because NYS campgrounds limits time for generator use 7 hours I barely was able to recharge the goal zero. I should have bought the Jackery 1000. It would have given me two nights easily especially if I recharged it next day and gotten me 750 watts for a partial charge. Certainly plenty for a second night for her cpap.

[@kms7546]

I have a new Jackery 1500 with 2 200W solar panels - I live in Phoenix, and it is only 95 degrees to day, but the VERY BEST prformance we can get is only 130W per panel. The longer the panels are in the sun the more wattage power they lose. And this is not a faulty panel - when I had the same abysmal result on my first shipment I worked with Jackery and got a replacement unit. But this second unit is performing just like the first. NO ONE is testing these units in warm weather - which come on, is the whole point of using a solar panel, sunshine. It is clear to me, Jackery cannot perform to spec in temperatures as low as 95 degree which is low here in Phoenix. The whole reason I bought this unit was to have a backup if and when power grids fail in hot summer temperatures. But if these can't perform in hot weather, truly what is the point?

[@Always_sojourning]

It is ironic that a solar panel becomes less efficient the warmer it gets.😎

[@cayman9873]

Thats convenient if you have zero skills at wiring and dont need much power. I had a pontoon boat and built a large plastic battery box with a large blue optima deep discharge battery. I used a 2 amp auto battery tender to charge it at the dock. But you could use a larger battery charger with an inverter while you were driving. I also added a 4000 watt inverter which i mounted on top of the battery box. I mounted a 4 pin XLR jack to the lid of the battery box so I could easily charge and unhook while at the dock. I put the battery box in the back of a car and sent my daughter camping with it. She took 100 foot extension cords and led clamp lights for camp light at night. And a drip coffee maker. She used the battery for a week with no recharge. I spent 250 for the optima battery. 60 dollars for the 4000 watt inverter at harbor freight and 30 dollars for the shumacher 2 amp battery charger . 15 dollars for a couple xlr ends . This is far far stronger than the jackery box. But its far heavier to move. And has no built in power meter or charge info. But honestly a fluke 150 dollar meter auto ranging is handy. And you could buy one and use it for many other things. If you want solar charging the jackery deal might be interesting. But for around 300 to 375 dollars I have a system far more capable with far better ability to run large loads. I have not started overlanding yet. And my time in the vehicle will not be weeks at a time. But I prefer a simple system like mine. Its also a spare truck battery if needed.

[@jaredstrandBazooka]

This is a very fun way for you to limit your children's screen usage time. They are only allowed to use 1 full jackery 1000 charge a day for all their power needs excluding cell phones.
