Just got the 300 and it’s been very helpful right out of the box. Jackery products and customer service are the reason they’re #1 in the game. Can’t say for the longevity of the product but if it lasts as long as it should I’ll be a Jackery customer for life.

I have been using mine for months and it has been working great, I think you just got a bad unit the first time. I’m glad they fixed the problem. Thank You for sharing.

Glad they made it right for you. I've had my 300 since Sept. and love it.

Well done video. I picked up a jackery too based on their US based operation and excellent customer service reputation. Great to hear they delivered on that 👍.

Jackery is very common for overlanders. I am glad you had it replaced because in the long run I will think you will like it. With the quick replacement also shows them to be a good company with customer service. Great video again Jimmy. Hope to get my videos rolling soon. Take care

I have always said you know how good a company is when things go wrong. Jackery passed with flying colors.

It's the right thing Jackery did, it's called customer service and standing behind their product. It only takes a few bad review in this time and age on internet for a bad reputation.

I take my jackery everywhere especially camping where I use my 12volt electric blanket with a half hour shut off mode. Never cold in a tent again.. I have the carrying case with extra charging cables tucked in.

This video taught me a lot. I am awaiting my jackery 240 right now and I have never used any sort of power unit and this video was very helpful and i will know what to look for. Thanks

Nice! Ready for some more camping trips.

Thank you for posting this video! It was very helpful. I am about to buy one of these Jackery 300s.

Sir...an EXCELLENT video! Many thanks. This is my first foray into portable power stations having just purchased my Jackery 300. I received a working unit w/49% charge out of the box.

Thanks saved me 13 minutes.. I hate bullshit video titles.

I bought a jackery 240 about 3 weeks ago and I've noticed something that I may just be overthinking about, and I'm trying to get other owners of the 240's opinion. I've noticed that when watching videos here on KZread that on some units, even like the 500 and 300 when you plug in charger to charge that the light is blue when charging and turns green when done. I've never saw a detailed video on the 240 to see if it acts the same when its done charging. Mine never turns green. It will charge up to 100% and the watts will taper down, slowly going to zero and the charger box even gets cold, from not pushing out anymore power, but the light never turns green, it always stays blue. The unit seems to function fine, and I even left it plugged up for like 12 hours just to make sure, but it never changes to green, it stays blue. Can anyone else who owns a 240 confirm if theirs stays blue or does turn green? Like I say, any other time I wouldn't think anything of it, but it's got me questioning why the 240 stays blue but the other units turn green when done

I bought the 240,believe me invest in a jackery,it's worth every penny,I also ordered the solar panels works great,ask my dogs,it keeps their house heated

Yours definitely had an issue. My 300w came half charged and I charged it to 100%, let it sit for a month, and just plugged it in and it was still at 100%. I powered two lights for over an hour. It’s awesome they made it right. They seem like solid company.

I had a jackery mobile battery pack that did the same thing. They made good for it and sent me a new charger.

Nice job reporting and reviewing. Thank you. I have a 300 on the way. Three months ago and two months ago I got a real good deal on a 1500 with 4 panels each. So far I am very pleased with them. Just for info the 100 Watt panels only produced 80 watt ish under the best conditions in the Chicagoland area. Still very pleased and happy. Now I’m anxious to see the life of the units. It’s a huge investment/expense. 😊👍 Panasonic/Sony Batteries from Japan are the best. Eneloop Batteries on Amazon are Panasonic made in Japan. The chargers are made in China though. Thanks again.

Im pretty sure that lithium ion battery in the dead Jakery is quite possibly just dormant. But it won't take a charge unless removed from the device and pretty much jumped with the equivalent voltage battery.

so it's been 2 years since this video. and 2 years is typically the end of the warranty for the jackery 300. how is it holding up today? still working? don't use it anymore? would like to know, thanks

Good to know they took care of the issue. I plan to buy this model sometime this year. If they go on sale it will definitely be the right time.

Now all you need is a fold out dashboard solar panel to charge the Jackery and you really got something there, depending on if the first Jackery's problem was an isolated issue. If they didn't ask you to send it back I'd have to question Jackery's commitment to quality though. They should have asked for it back for forensic examination so they can employ preventative actions.

If it is a Sony compact camera you have, it probably has a mini USB port so you can charge the battery without removing it from the camera. You just plug in the camera itself to charge the battery. You can also run the camera with a powerbank attached to it if you don't remove the battery (a small one or the Jackery). I have a Sony compact camera. Their batteries are very bad. I can't believe that they are selling so bad batteries with quite expensive compact cameras. I now have to have a power bank hanging from the camera if I want to take more than a few photos with it.

Hi. Silly question but did you try charging the defective jackery with the charger from the new one to see if the charger was faulty ?

My jackery 1000 did the dame thing. I left it stored with %90 charge for 3 months and checkec it out and it died!! No energy in it what so ever and i wouldnt even allow charging! Weird!!!

I got my 290 today and was at 49%.

Just saw this video. The fact that the Jackery didn’t have any charge when you received it is a red flag. I have 4 power stations made by 3 different companies. All of them have arrived partially charged. I know a number of power station owners and their stations have always been partially charged. At first I thought that maybe the ac switch had been activated because the ac inverter has a small power drain even when it is not charging anything, but you demonstrated that was not the case. Good for Jackery for offering you a replacement or a refund. Jackery has also been converting their power stations from lithium ion battlers to lithium iron phosphate batteries. They are slightly heavier but they are safer and they offer far more full charging cycles than standard lithium ion batteries. (I am also a new subscriber.)

Take the broken one to Interstate battery and they will fix it and you will have 2 of them

you should have used the new charger on the old jackery and see if that is the problem.

You gotta make sure those are not refurnished once that people bring with back and if they do you can sue them
