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

[@margiesvanmori]

This is so helpful! I am building out my 1988 chevy and I don't want to have to deal with a bunch of complicated wiring. love how simple the jackery is.

[@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.

[@jimchristensen965]

Jackery has a top notch marketing department. Almost all the channels I watch have promoted Jackery at least once. A win, win deal for you all.

[@iflanzy]

This was perfect timing because I was just trying to figure out which size Jackery I needed for my car camping.

Yes, this is why I brought this is-- if I had known that 500 wouldn’t last so long... I would have gotten the 1000

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

Thanks for the comparisons, Tristan, they are helpful. I own a 300W battery (not a Jackery) and it serves me quite well for powering personal electronics on extended weekend explorations. I'm looking to add a small 12V cooler to my kit next Spring so investing in the 500W Jackery (and perhaps a portable 100W solar panel) now will be a good decision.

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!!

I work from home and have a minivan but I haven't been going out because I didn't even have enough power for 1 day. I take weekend trips but I have to be back home for Monday. As soon as it arrives, I'm hitting the road for some Florida adventures! Thank you for all of your videos... I know it is a lot of work in front and behind the camera.

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.

Every claim like the one you listed has to have a disclaimer that "your mileage may vary". I mean, do the maths. 500w can only run a 60w appliance for 8.33hrs full bore so if they tested it and ran it for 37hrs there had to be a lot of fiddling... err, I mean optimizing. Your temp setting, the thermal mass of the contents and its initial temp and the initial temp in the fridge all influence the consumption of power, especially the number of times you open the fridge to take something out. I bet that's why Tristan suggested buying the next larger Jackery than you think you need as your mileage will vary from the idealized settings during testing.

@@oceandrew ya, I know that now. I liked the plug & play idea and taking a 12v fridge/ freezer... I need to find the rest of the story on how to work it , all together to work for me better. Wish Jackery had a trade in or more real life information. KZbinrs get us great ideas. I’m not great with electric equations

[@oceandrew]

@@KG-cl9gv You may have better luck finding information on how to minimize the power draw from the fridge/freezer. I believe Tristan did get into that a bit when he first started plugging Jackery with his fridge set up.

[@KG-cl9gv]

@@oceandrew Thank you.

I’m getting a portable 2000 watt / 1700 running watts pure sine wave generator for $450.00 with a 10.5 hour running time at 25% load...rain or shine...Batteries continue to degrade over time...get a portable generator for backup...

Thank you for the info. I am going camping and was wondering about a c pap machine.

[@guillermoortiz1492]

Are these recommended for those who camp only 2-3 days at a time ( not overland) .. i was thinking of this for a 12v fridge and electric burner instead of propane, but then again coolers with ice last 3 days. Not sure if the investment is worth it.. ? We are new to camping.

I have a small pellet grill which i want to tailgate with. I need something to run the grill maybe a couple of crockpots and possibly an iPhone charger nothing really more than that...what do you recommend? Thanks in advance

[@adavell]

Amazing! I am starting to get ready for the road and decided to start researching power stations so I wrote: "jackery" and the first video youtube showed me was yours!!! Easy peasy! if you say so, I am done with my research! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@jacobcorpus4915]

great video brother. thanks for this

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

I have a question when the solar is getting energy can you run the frigerator for hours and hours full size big house fridge

[@farrendavis4143]

great review and thanks for the update on the sale!

[@jimmiegregory8386]

Which one will run a keruig coffee maker please!?

[@junior6303]

which one would you recommend for a small heater? It's for a small greenhouse. Maybe once in a while run a led grow light.

[@mariedykeman5208]

Most heaters are 1500 watts. I have bought a volcano 750 watt space heater. You would need 2 100 watt solar panels. I would another way to warm plants. 1000 to 1500 watt generator about low $1200 estimate

[@TheOneTrueChris]

He recommends getting the 500 to run a CPAP machine, but I have been using the 240 for quite a while with my CPAP and it has worked with zero issues. You definitely don't need the 500 for that.

[@tomlaurell6754]

Thanks for that information exactly why I was looking at jackery

[@BradThePitts]

Do these have a cooling fans? The reason I ask is I want to use them to power LED Drawer lights for a kitchen island that has no power. The LEDs are 2W-10W each and go on only when you have the drawer open, so I imagine the battery would last a very long time. But if it has its own fan, I don't imagine it would last very long.

I'll have to check out Jackerys as I have a Black/Decker brand now that has an inverter, compressor, USB charging, and battery jump starter that has helped me as well as other's that I have helped that needed a jump. These are great items that every car owner should have. This would make a great Christmas gift for those that have almost everything and appreciate it when they really need it. Power Stations to me are a great invention implementing the use of a portable battery power source.
