Bought the Jackery 240 on your recommendation and its been awesome for a whole year. We use it every day. We charge it while driving and once in a while charge it at Starbucks it Whole Foods while we work. Lasts a long time.

We bought the jackery you did a video on last year (thanks for the discount) & love it. This year I plan to get the solar panels.

I literally guffawed! Wasn't expecting that to be a joke at all! Thanks for the excellent review on the Jackery. Pricey, but I'm saving my pennies.

HOLA MIJO J GRACIAS ! THIS IS REALLY GONNA HELP " the old man"... Safe travels onward bound!

I purchased one of these a few months ago after watching a different review. I also bought the Solarsaga 60 panels. When I received the E500, it was at 30%, I set up the solar panels and waited 7 hrs for it to hit 100% (70% in 7 hrs is okay with me). I run my CPAP with the heater off, and I can use it 3 to 4 nights (5 hrs on average per night). So if I run it 1 or 2 nights, then set it out to solar recharge, I am in good shape. If I get in a bind, I can charge it through my truck (It has an invertor for 120volt), or I can charge it by cable that I made with Anderson connectors and hook it to my truck battery. When I am at home, I plug into my shore or house power. I have never drained the E500, but I imagine it will charge pretty fast through the AC of my house. I am very happy with this product.

If you have the option to run that fridge on 12v DC ( cig lighter) , do it. Plugging into the 110v will use more power to do the same job, as you have to alsp power the inverter.

I have used my 500 for a year every single day for a year and love it. I can’t depend on the Jackery panel every day because when it’s cloudy enough it gives me almost no charge at all. Sunny days it does good. I charge it in the house when I have to. Jackery says don’t let the battery get down to 20 percent charge

the outro was perfect! haha I do the exact same! Cheers and solid video! Just picked up a jackery power bank for my motovan build and was considering the solar panel attachments for longer trips! I enjoyed the outro and gave me a little laugh cuz I know that feeling all too well as Im sure I have some footage of me doing the same for some videos.

I finally found someone who would send a jackery 500 to Hawaii... extra shipping but welll worth it in my opinion. Can't wait to check it out. An just got a solar panel aswell.

I'd say it's worth having one. Thanks! As usual a real video!

I just bought the new Jackery 500 Explorer v2. Immediately did a capacity test to make sure I got a good one with a 150A test device. 540Watt hours. MORE than advertised. No complaints.

Works well and quieter than most generators I've used dented during shipping

Ok, LOLed at the intro to this video. Good review. Good info.

Yooooo J. Nice vid my brotha. I enjoyed it. You basically described me in the 3-4 day weekend getaways. And I do agree that it would be nice to have a 110 plug in for something. But honestly, all I use is a battery powered radio, my cellphone, and a battery fan. But having the large Jackery I can expand to plug in device if needed. Also, I think people need to understand that the PRIME way to get max use out of the Jack is to fully charge it with 110 at home prior to going on your trip and using even an 80 watt solar panel as a way to keep it “topped off”. Oh shit bro, just watched the end of your vid and noticed that you said basically what I did. My bad bro. 👍🏾

Awesome review. I’m going to sub. But I wanted to just update those who might not know. The Jackery 500 in this video is not the latest generation. You can tell by the logo at the top right it is the unit. The newer version of the Jackery 500 features an MPPT charge controller and not the cheaper and less efficient PWM controller. Which means the MPPT version charges about 30-60% more efficiently on the same solar panel compared to the older model. I’m sure my comment could have been worded better, Im no expert lol.

They recommend a "Converter" (DC to DC) rather than an "Inverter"... they can explain it all better than me... www.resmed.com/us/dam/documents/articles/198103_battery-guide_glo_eng.pdf . There is no one-answer-fits-all because the pressure of your unit and other factors contribute to power use. If you don't have a Resmed device then check your manufacturer for their specific recommendations. The reason I didn't use my humidifier was I wanted to see how long I could stretch it out without a recharge... I figured 7 days was good enough for me so I stopped the test. I think I could have gone another 2 or 3 days.

My CPAP draws about 200wh/night. That is without humidifier so it has less draw. Also I don’t have to lug the humidifier around (it pulls apart for travel). Some can’t go without humidifier. I have just purchased a DC power cord that works off cigarette lighter. I hope to make it last longer since I won’t have to pay for the inverter losses. Good video.

HILARIOUS opening😀😀😀

That is the older version of the Jackery 500, the new one has MPPT charging so that weird issue with the solar input wattage getting stuck in the 40’s isn’t an issue on the new ones.

I live in the UK at about 53.5 degrees north. Problem is we don't get the sun to recharge a battery most of the year. For people in Arizona and similar great. But not really for us.

Nice review, Goldberg.

If you get the DC power cord for your CPAP machine it will use much less power, about one-third as much power as running through the AC inverter. I have a jackery 240. I do not run the humidifier or the heater on my CPAP. 9 hours on CPAP only takes it down by 35%. Recharging Jackery 240 with my own 100 watt panel only takes about 2 hours. I have also been using a couple of different branded 500-watt our power stations. I can run my Dometic 35W for about twelve hours on either of the 500WH power stations that I have tried. I have never drained any of the power stations down below 20% and I have never had a problem getting back to full charge with my 100 watt panel. longest I ever had to charge it was about seven hours of sunlight.

I bought the Jackery 240 back in January. Wish I had known they were going to come out with the 500 so soon after!

Hey Jamie. I’m having a little party at my rig tonight...

You have to size your power station for your needs. We have an SUV camper with refrigerator, Maxx fan, electric kettle for making coffee, and a 700 watt toaster oven we use once in a while. Plus our computers and cell phones. We have a 1000 watt VTOman and recharge it as we drive (keeps it from running down as fast). We usually aren't out more than 3-4 days before we can plug it in to shore power, and it suits us fine.

Great info. I use a CPAP that ramps up to 15 once I enter REM. Does the batteries in this machine loose some its capability in the cold.

It runs a fantastic fan all night long. No problem.

Before I watch the rest of the video... that intro was funny ... 😄😆🤣😂

The joke was priceless!!!!!

One thing I noticed about the Jackery is that the input wattage is not always accurate unfortunately. Mine was doing the same thing yours was doing but worse (it was stuck at 0 watts input after any kind of shadow got casted on it). I am doing an RMA and they honored their warranty. Still a great product though... also mine had an issue where the battery was stuck at 100% and required a hard reset to show accurate battery percentage

I want to put as much solar on my roof van as will fit, enough for a decent sized refrigerator/freezer and a fantastic fan. I'm thinking one of these will be good for a fan, TV, anything I would only use occasionally, but could afford to do without if it's raining,etc. Extra cost, but probably worth it for a few extra comforts.

My CPAP with humidifier and heated hose will use 70% of the power from my Jackery 500 running on the 110V AC outlet. But, I bought a 12V DC connector for my CPAP and it only used 14%.

I was curious about the Jackery. I've already seen one review. I was wondering which is better, the 500 or 1,000? My refrigerator is a domedic.

That's what I'm thinking of buying an inergy it seems like its top-of-the-line. I think it's a deposit of 270 right now with a total of 1300.

Thanks for super helpful video. I’m trying to calculate the fan hours. At full power, 12V x 2.4A = 29W. 500WHr / 29W = 17Hr. At the lower 0.3A setting, I think it works out to 139Hr. Did I make a mistake? Because it sounds pretty reasonable. With the solar panel attached at the same time, it would be even much longer, which might work out pretty good.
