Thank you for all the helpful information. You help me pick up a Jackery 1000, for all my Camping needs. Thanks for the work you are doing again. Keep having fun

This is a really good in-depth review -- I really liked that you got into the detailed electrical load and charging tests. Few KZread channels go this in-depth on electrical/battery product reviews. Great job!

Enjoying your channel, Professor. Learning a lot about these power units. I have a couple of now ancient Jackery 160 units, for the plane, they still charge a Mac at 80W. Full charge after a year in the drawer. Agree on the missing 12v outputs on this 1500 model, staying 'tuned'. I always jam the other earbud in and turn up the load test music.

I just bought the jackery explorer and it arrived from Germany. Have spent testing it out in my campervan here in Ireland over the weekend. When lockdown ends I will give a good testing. Happy so far.

Loved the review, as always. You complained about the lack of CPAP applicable 5mm or 6mm DC outputs. However, one of the most widely used, the Resmed Airsense 10 uses the DC car plug for its official DC adapter. So really, no problem there. It's good to go to power CPAP.

I love my Jackery 1000 but wish they would offer the choice of the other model they sell in Japan with a handle that fits down in the unit to take up less space & the display going dark after a few seconds

U sir are outrageously astute Thanks for all you have taught us! See ya out there

You do a good show ! Keep up the good work.

Received my 1500 4/20. The extra AC charger and 8mm adapter were not included. I emailed Jackery and the response came this morning that due to production both items will be supplied at the end of May.

Thanks, been waiting for your review. Oh that flashlight 😉😁 It really is a bummer not more 12 volts and USB outlets.

Great show I just bought one of these I was really concerned that I made a good buy I bought 4 panels and the Box

Don’t forget lifePo4 don’t work under 0C temp. Jackery still work at -10C. Bluetti ac200p cannot (look the user reviews and specs). But lifecycle are greater. Yes. The ideal would be a new battery type with both advantages. Speciàized battery that work in the cold are more expensive with less lifecycle.

Thank you for your review. I' m from Germany and I'm very interesting in those technicals things. Jackery is now in Europe (so in Germany). The new Jackery 300-in my mind a good Jackery- (2000, 1500) is/are not available, only 240, 500 and 1000. I've bought a Jackery 1000 and one Solarpanel 100. The Solarpanel is great, the Jackery is defect. But I must say, that the service from Jackery is very! interesting to solve my problem - nice. USA - Germany is a long way (sorry, my english is'nt very good). Thank you and greetings from Uta

Thanks Hobo Great Review! 👍🏻

Love the honest and accurate review. Very nice job. I totally do not understand their position on that PD port. What are they thinking?

The best thing about this new Jackery seems to be the NOCO ads that keep playing before and during. I have a NOCO and think it's great. (Thanks Chrome.) I have a Jackery 240 and think it's great. (Thanks Tom.)

DOUBLE WOW! That fabulous 1-watt flashlight will come in SO handy.

awesome review Prof... disappointed in Jackery for not using LiFePO4 at this price range and already in 2021 :)

@CC-gt3ro

3 жыл бұрын

LifePo4 have good lifecycle but they have cons as well. Much much heavier (jackery 2000 is 19kg when Bluetti ac200p is 27kg) and don’t work under 0C degree température which is an issue if it is winter in canada. You would have a generator but it can’t work and would shutdown like the Bluetti ac200p (look at amazon and the review of the guy that tried to use for its farm non heated). The jackery can work at -10C which is a bit better but it cannot charge under 0C according to the specs if i don’t mistaken. You have to think if there is no electricity there won’t be heater so the room will easily go below 0C when outside it is -20 or -15. So lifePo4 is not the 100% solution. Lithium battery specialised for this application are more expensive and with less life cycle, because they use energy to heat themselves. You would need a battery heater but you need energy for that.

I just recently got one and the bag has been upgraded its a rugged case also it does have the two adapters for the panels and it's the thicker pin so you don't need a adapter. But it doesn't have the smaller adapter (7909 to 8020)

Thank you for your review. Blessings in your days.

Another great review. I have the 240, 300 and the 1500. The 240 and 300 have really surprised me, the 1500, not so much. My main use is 12v and USB. I use them to power my refrigerators and charge batteries, while on off road adventures. Granted, I bought the 1500 at the start of summer, so it's only been used when it is hot during the day and warm at night. Based off of your capacity test, the 12v should have a bit more than 4x the capacity of the 300. I find that is not the case and that it is lower than that. My guess, it's because of that damn fan!!! Even just using the 12v outlet, if it is over 80 degrees, that thing is screaming! I've also noticed that when it is hot, and you are doing pass through charging, it will start to limit the input watts. The 300 or 240 just don't care, until they get too hot and stop charging lol. I am sure those fans will protect the batteries better and extend the life of them. I just can't help but to think that the fan profiles are a bit too aggressive and consume more energy than they really need to. That being said, I'm still glad that I bought it. I'm hoping that now that it's cooling down, I'll start to see better results with it.

i'vew watched about 4 videos concerning reviews of Jackery and Bluetti (one of them was yours!) ....Jackery has a better price point, unsure about Bluetti beyond the battery material. Great reviews!

As always, I learned, I laughed. Why, oh why, is it always 2 steps forward and one step "back" (the things you pointed out)?! Jackery, you're killing me, and not the humorous kind of killing me. Every time Hobotech does a review, I think to myself, this is gonna be the ONE. The one Jackery I'm going to whip out the credit card for, even though on SoSec it could take me the rest of my life (slight exaggeration) to pay off. But every time, you pull a head-slapper (see Tom's "what I don't like about this Jackery," starting at 24:12). Jackery, I really really want to buy a powerful "SoGen" from you, but you've got to make it worth my considerable pain. Thank you very much, Tom, for another awesome review. Have a great day! Hugs and kissies for Odin and Thor! ODIN !!!!!

@@AskIveSolar I'm not one to air out my dirty laundry but it seems that I received a dud 300. I used the PD input along with the AC adaptor and I was getting amazing charging results, just like Dr. Hobo! But soon the port stopped accepting a PD charge from my PD certified adaptor. The PD port doesn't charge either. Now the green USB light stays on and the unit is slowly discharging without even having anything plugged in. I've tried resetting it multiple times. This doesn't seem like normal behavior. To top it all off (pun intended) the Jackery customer service has been underwhelming to say the least. It's been two weeks since my original order and I still do not have a fully functioning 300. Their response rate to emails is a day or two between messages. My understanding is that the customer service is highly acclaimed but my experience has been less than stellar. All in all, not a good first time experience with Jackery.

A good day to watch the Professor

I had a problem with 500W Jackery power bank went abruptly dead from appearing fully charged. I was using a 100W Harbor Freight Solar Panels kit with a home built adapter. It would put about 35W into the Jackery and I'd get a False Reading of 99-100% charge, and then the unit would abruptly fail. Since I live not too far from Jackery's main office in Fremont, CA I hand-delivered my unit back to them. I ended up buying one of their proprietary 100 watt solar panel "Books," it delivered more like 70% under hazy conditions. I have the Power Bank Charging on 120VAC at the time of this writing.

Thanks a massive power bank. Jackery is stepping up the game with this latest launch.

Great review ! Thank you 🇺🇸

Great review. At least they ditched the 6mm DC sockets, not sure of what anyone ever used them for.

One of my main intended uses is for refrigerators and freezers. Once cold, they should be moderate power users, but when the compressor kicks in, the voltage/power spikes briefly. Can you test these "solar generators" in that use case? Duration, two at the same time while solar charging at the same time....

I spoke with Manuel and indeed he lost his book. Thank you for finding it. He will email you shortly if you could kindly return his book. I fear he may be licking the 12v circuits so it would be greatly appreciated if you could send the manual back so he doesn't harm himself. Thank you. Great channel by the way.

Thank you for your honest review

Great review man, thank you.

It seems to me that the Bluetti EB150 is a better value at $1,000 for 1,500wh of power. I realize the EB150 has a smaller inverter and is missing a couple of things that are on this new Jackery, but a 1,000 watt inverter paired with a 1,500wh battery is probably fine for most applications. Stated differently, I’m not sure an inverter that can drain the battery to zero in 60 minutes is all that useful. If you have loads in excess of 1,000 watts that are non-negotiable, the Bluetti AC200 with a bigger (lifepo4 !) battery seems like a better value at a slightly higher price and with many features that this new Jackery doesn’t have.

Excellent review as always, but one thing you said confused me. You said that Jackery did not put on 12 volt 5.5mm or 6mm outputs like they did on almost all their other power stations. I have the Jackery Explorer 1000, 300 and 240 and none of them have a 5.5mm or 6mm 12 volt output. Why are you saying most have them?

Amazing inverter! Not so good outlets. Thank you Professor!

Hey Tom, love your videos, but Jackery needs to step up its game, 60W PD or 100PW bi-directional charging would be nice :)

A US$1599 flashlight. Nice review Hobotech. Not a fan of the loud fan...imagine using it in your bedroom for CPAP. Great inverter. Limited USB outputs r very strange.

Nice station to have! Thanks!

Question. I recently seen a video discussing lithium compression. I understand that lithium has a an expanding and contracting process during charging and discharging. The discussion has suggested that through a process of limited compression of the batteries it will extend the life of them by like 40%. Could you possibly do some testing to see if this theory is true in a practical sense?

Great video very thorough😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

(I'm sure glad you said it though, I'm just wondering how far it's going to go without a fan...) (I'm over here thinking it's broken; I sure as heck didn't try nothing, to make it go-- heck no. Hot days haven't stayed long enough for me to care, yet.)
