Great review and very thorough Sir Hobotech. Have a great day.

I was complaining about others complaining in the comments about the fact that the Jackery doesn't use life PO4 batteries until I did some research and realized that my blueetti does and will last much longer than this unit. So instead of buying the Jackery 3000 pro I decided to buy to external Bluetti B230 batteries with 2,000 watts each bringing me up to 6,000 watts for $300 more. I have a few Jackerys and they work great but when you're spending this kind of money you want something that will last.

Good to see you . Thanks for all you do.

Wow I just started researching this to review and after looking at the specs for the battery and still with the same solar input, this is a no go hard pass for sure. So many better units by far. I dont even know how this can be in the same class as anything out there like the Anker or EcoFlow. Still would rather have a bluetti. Jackery…??? Are you listening??? Change the solar inputs and the batteries, no one like NMC batteries that have higher chance of fire risks. Good review, poor product. Thanks Hobotech 👍🏼

Great review, thanks again.

The feature that I want to know about, in all your power stations is if it has that auto shut off feature when unit is not in use, it's a deal breaker if I can't turn that feature off. Thank you for mentioning it here

They're trying to address their Achilles heel of LFP having around 6x-10x the cycle life of their NMC. Sure, having a choice of parameters is always good. But really, to use it, you're buying 100/70 x the Wh capacity you get to use (because 85-15=70). Who wants to pay for 3000Wh and only use 2100Wh, in round numbers? The minute you set that battery saving parameter, you're paying 143% as much per Wh, just to get 130% of their already horrible battery life, when LFP units generally have 600% to 1000% the life No, thanks. This unit is for people with money to burn, who will not use the thing much. Anyone using a power station hard, especially if cycling it daily, should have long ago decided to go LFP = LiFePO4 (pronounced lithium iron phosphate) It is super-premium priced, and yet they skimped by having PD be output only. They've got to be joking. The GoLabs that I paid $200 for has PD in/out for charging/discharging at up to 0.2C (5 hour) rate. It's great that this is a quiet unit where everything works as expected or better. To me, it's the most refined model from a company whose entire product line is overpriced and has been left in the dust by the competition. At best, it's a niche product for specific use cases, IMHO. For anyone trying to justify it as a home emergency power backup, they could have a whole 48V rackmount battery plus all-in-one system for the same money with bigger capacity, higher power output, huge expandability, etc. WIthout using it for that, it's really expensive and heavy to use as an all-purpose power station anywhere but mounted in an RV. And in an RV, it's the wrong choice due to the short battery-cycle life. It's a refined product in search of a use case, technically. So they just market it for its build quality and pray people put brand loyalty over the fact that it's not LiFePO4.

@@EfficientRVer You make a lot of good points, but there are counterpoints to each that are also valid. You can always turn off the battery setting, giving you the full capacity to work with, but how often do you draw any battery down to zero, anyway? I agree that LFP is the absolute best way to go for stationary storage, but for mobile applications, NMC weighs less per wh, and that matters in many situations. A bi-directional PD port on a unit with a massive battery doesn't make much sense. Nobody is charging units this size with a PD port or their car accessory plug. Who has time for that? I'm not sure where you got the idea that LFP has 6-10 times the cycle life of NMC...it's more like 3-4 times, so you have to be confusing it with SLA. Frankly, units like this are likely going to expire from calendar aging before the battery cycle life becomes an issue, and that's true regardless of whether you're talking LFP or NMC. Say you "only" get 1,000 cycles from the NMC battery before it's down to 80% DoD. If you go camping 50 times a year, that's still 20 years worth of service, at which point you STILL have 80% of original capacity. I've got a 10 year-old Android tablet with an NMC pouch cell and it still works...just not as long as it used to. ;) Yes, it's a premium brand at a premium price. I'd buy a Pecron before buying anything Jackery, but for older folks who are really concerned about how much something weighs, this might be exactly what they're needing.

Best review on the planet as usual. Great product if you like portability and only use once in a while. I think it was a conscious decision from Jackery to use Lithium batteries, they might be trying to avoid direct competition with Ecoflow and Bluetti by focusing on a niche of people who from multiple reasons would prefer a lighter option for storing 3000 wh. I still prefer LFP batteries solutions, but I see the value of having this option on the market.

@viablybodacious302 if you find the right panels you can run what you want. And honestly it's gonna be very rare someone uses 2000wh every single day and even if they do they aren't running from 100% every day. If I run a delta pro with 3500 life cycles from 100% to 50% then charge back to 100% that's only a half life cycle . So now 3500 becomes 7000 life cycles or better. Same goes for the delta max. 800 life cycles is 1600 life cycles with only using half its capacity. And if not used to its full 2200 watts or hard cycles and only running a modem and fridge than you can get more cycles out of it. Maybe even close to 1500-2000 cycles and that's just to 80% capacity. These units aren't cycled 100% daily. They are just rated for full life cycles to their testing.

Perhaps I missed it, but does the 3k allow tandem DC input from a 12v cigarette plug and a solar panel at the same time ? This was noted as not being allowed in the 2k review. Thank you for everything you do.

I am unclear of one possible use for this solar generator. Can you tell me if it can be used with a small gasoline 1kw generator and supply up to the 3kw as needed or would it be limited to 1kw output because of the UPS function? I realize you can't draw 3KW forever but if only for short times where the 1kw generator could keep the battery up, that would be a great addition to someone with an RV and a small genset. Running the microwave with a 1kw generator shure would be nice if it were possible without disconnection the input and then having to reconnect after using the solar generator to get the power needed. Do other solar generators allow such use?

You answered that question. Yeah, both loads (T-mobile cell modem) and my TV might consume just a fraction of needed isolated power so maybe a $100 cheap APC. But that has little room for increasing the load. What to do, what to do. Thanks, man. Cheers from Louisiana.

Do you know if there would be any difference in using 200W Renogy panels instead of the Jackery panels? Or do you know of other panels that cost less but give the same results that you would recommend?

To clarify, if this is your daily power supply, then NO! If this is for your adventures into the Outback one or two times a month, then YES, this is the ticket.

Although I do appreciate all the wattage talk. But, can a Jackery test would be how long it runs off of maybe items in RV now that would be a great test so everyone has a better understanding how many hours would it last in an emergency. I do understand you said a few items but if you actually tested with them would be great. I love watching your videos

I've been doing this long enough I don't need to test appliances in every video. It would make the video excruciatingly long. Jackery offers a list of examples on their sales page for the product.

I am going to be a first time RVer in a few months just trying to get a more comprehension on a few things. But I get. Thank you for making your videos.
