felt like i was watching the blair witch project lol

Wow. I'm impressed it only dropped 40%. This is a great video. I would love for you to do it and give a little more information! This is the kind of content that is super helpful! I didn't think I would be able to survive off of a 500 with just a heater and smart phone and a single LED bulb but I just might be able to! Thanks from Cincinnati!

Thanks for taking one for the team, I have my Jackery over a year or so, and love it. Thanks for the video bud.

Do you run a heater like this on it too? I’m thinking of getting one

Yeah, This is the way to go and now sun will start charging the jackery 500 😎 cool ..Well , in your case its staying warm and way to run your heater 24 7 . Thanks for sharing..it was ,Well ,Worth my time watching

I was wondering if this would work thanks for the video 😎👍👍🇨🇦

Thanks this is what I needed!

Awesome thanks for sharing this it answers what I need to know👍

That was great and now all the solar panels have to charge is 44 percent and you will be good for another night. 👍 Now , that is awesome and you don't have to worry about the fan stopping on your heater..like forever weeks or months of camping 😉 unless you run out of fuel ? ⛽️ AND, WORTH 💯 PERCENT INVESTMENT 👌 😌 PERFECT HEAT SET UP ...THANKS 👌 🔥 👍

Great video, thank you for sharing. I too have the Jackery 500 and am about to pull the trigger on a diesel heater, this has just answered my question as to whether or not the Jackery would run my heater and for how long. Thanks again and take care.

Great video 👍

Awesome I just ordered the jackery 1000 with two solar panels…hoping mount the panels on top of my enclosed trailer and be enough to power my 5kw diesel heater just ordered too through the weekends

What kW heater do you have? Thanks for the video btw, I have a Jackery 500 and am looking to build out a 5kW diesel heater to heat my tent and potentially another sometimes

Thanks a bunch for the video I’m getting a 500 a solar panel for sure, do you suggest and hoses? I see many kinds and some that melt too. My heaters gunna be about 10 feet down outside at least.

I got some heater vent hose from Lowes (it has a coiled wire frame and foil to keep it from melting/burning). On cold nights I think it works better to have both hoses (one for heat and the other as a return hose) the diesel heater used less battery power when it did not have to heat the cold outside air up to temp.

How did you wire the heater to the cigarette lighter?

I just bought a 15 amp 12 volt plug that goes into a car style receptacle that had crimp leads already. However my first over night test drained the battery of my Suburban, I then bought a Jackery 500 (it has a standard 12 volt receptacle) so I don't have to drain the vehicle battery any more.

Do you have a video showing how to hook the diesel heater up to the jackery?

@desertdwellers7294

I had to buy a 15 amp 12 volt car plug. I then wired to provided harness from the diesel heater into the plug. I then just use the 12 volt outlet on the Jackery. I originally was going to use the vehicles battery but the heater drained the battery overnight to where I had to use a battery jump starter, that's when I bought the Jackery.

Did you have to wire this into a car 12v plug yourself where did you get the 12v plug?

Make sure it can handle at least 10 amps. The first one I wired in I had laying around. It melted in less than 5 minutes. That's when I ordered the 15 amp.

I have the 5kw diesel heater. Been using a 2nd battery for it. But it sits outside with the heater. Temps down to 20 F. Was looking to get a jackory 500 so it can be inside were its warm. Can the jackory power it for up to 15hrs. Or how along have you run it is 10 hrs the most you have tried.

So far 10 hours is about the longest I've ran it on the 500. But there was plenty of battery left. So I think 15 hours is doable. Especially if you run a return vent hose so it doesn't have to heat cold air.

@@mountainpride, so far I have I haven't had any problems but I've only used it a couple times last winter. Maybe do a set up where it can start with both the Jackery and a secondary source until the peak amperage draw is over then just run it on the Jackery. I'll try to do a start up on the diesel heater this weekend and test the start up amperage draw after it's been sitting in the garage most of the year.

Planning to do this myself. Wondering if the 300w jackery would be enough.

@desertdwellers7294

I think the 300 would be good for one night easy. Since I forget to bring the return hose the heater had to warm very cold air all night. Plus I also keep it pretty warm in the truck (15 degrees Celsius, about 59 degrees Fahrenheit). And I ran it for nearly ten hours and was still over the 50% of battery life left.

Cool, ordered it. I had been looking at 500w, the Bluetti too. But the jackery 300 with solar panels was a decent deal. I figure this will be good with camping since I often park the van for a few days and don’t drive enough to recharge everything.

@@daddunfinished3953 How is your 300W working out? I have a 1000W in my teardrop and my 2kw heater takes that down to 80% after running for about 10 hours. So assume that would be down to 30% on the 300W. Was thinking of a backup Jackery to use, but don’t need another 1000W model.
