This is so helpful! I am building out my 1988 chevy and I don't want to have to deal with a bunch of complicated wiring. love how simple the jackery is.

Jackery has a top notch marketing department. Almost all the channels I watch have promoted Jackery at least once. A win, win deal for you all.

Yeah!!! Idaho! I recognise this spot. Been watching a lot of van dweller and seldom see anyone in Idaho! I love your videos. Especially your deep dives in idaho. Lived here 67 years and see some country with you I have never explored. THANK YOU

Thank you for your honesty about being sponsored. I ordered my Jackery 1000 before watching this, but love the honest review. 1000 is exactly my need for a 12volt fridge, phone, iPad, computer, and a 12volt RoadPro saucepan.

Love my Jackary 240 with solar panel for charging my devices while camping.

I would definitely need this to power my CPAP on the road, camping, etc.,(or, best case scenario, RV life.)

The 500 ran our home 6ft freezer unit for 10 hours from 100% charge. Hope this helps. So it can be used in an emergency at home for a short term power cut - one must assume therefore that the 1000w will give around twice that.

This was perfect timing because I was just trying to figure out which size Jackery I needed for my car camping.

Thanks so much for this video; I was on the cusp of getting the 240, but thanks to this video I see that the 500 would be the appropriate size for me

This is the kind of video i needed to decide whether to get one of these! Thanks! :)

The Explorer 240 is great for charging my Harley Davidson battery. Plug my battery tender into it and had no problems at all.

Thank you for going through the Jackery models!

I camp with a CPAP (Resmed S10) & a Jackery 240 and use a DC to DC adapter to reduce the power consumption of the CPAP (DC/DC is more efficient then DC/AC {outlet}) . 7 to 8 hours of use and the most I have used in one night was 40% of power with the humidifier off, heated hose off, and wifi off {plan mode}. Then I use a Rockpals 60W solar panel to top if off and I can go for days.

THE 250 IS AWESOME FOR COLD WEATHER CAMPING WITH A GOOD SLEEPING BAG AND POLY PAD COMBINED WITH A HEATING PAD OR ELECTRIC BLANKET WILL KEEP YOU SNUG ON THOSE COLD NIGHTS AND THAT BAD BOY CAN RUN ONE OF THOSE HEATING DEVICES ON A MEDIUM SETTING (DRAWING 40 TO 65 WATTS) FOR LIKE 12 HOURS

I had just recently purchased the 240 to use in case of power outages for small electronics, so I haven't actually used it yet. I don't camp so I didn't think I needed something with a lot of power, just for the basics. Plus it was the only one I could afford at this time but I'd love to eventually get the 1000 so I can power more things.

I got the Jackary 500 for my 7-week trip out to CA and back to TN. I set it up to charge from the car and it's 12v outlet was connected to my Apicool C20. The Jackary charging from the car easily kept up with the draw from the fridge. In a test, it ran the fridge for 48 hours and it consumed about 70% of the Jackary's battery. I also recommend getting Jackary's solar panel.

Agreed! And Jackary and their spokespeople often work together to get power packs donated to the people who’ve lost their homes and live in their cars... people who need some help. I will always purchase from them.

Just FYI…I got the JACKERY 240, and, it runs my cpap in remote locations without power, for 8 hours, PLUS my phone and tablet while I watch videos/surf the net several hrs before I turn on the cpap and go to sleep. At the end of the night, I still have 34-38 % ….then it takes 4-4.5 hrs to recharge at home in the wall outlet. Btw I use the 110v wall adapter for my cpap, as I haven’t purchased the car adapter yet, and the tech at JACKERY said I could save an additional 15% from the power conversion if I do use the car adapter to power my cpap!!! I’m VERY impressed!!

great review and thanks for the update on the sale!

Wow, I ordered a Jackery yesterday and it's shipped today. That's great customer service so far!

Thanks for the comparisons, Tristan, they are helpful. I own a 300W battery (not a Jackery) and it serves me quite well for powering personal electronics on extended weekend explorations. I'm looking to add a small 12V cooler to my kit next Spring so investing in the 500W Jackery (and perhaps a portable 100W solar panel) now will be a good decision.

Appreciate the specifics on portable power. I’ve heard good things about Jackery, but was unsure of the appliances they support. Now I know!

I have 3 jackery- 2) 500w and 1) 300 they are a couple years old. Used them many times. Run my fridge while camping. Also have a 100w panel and a 60w panel. Used the 500’s at home when power outages happened. Love all of them. Someday I will buy the big one! I love portable stuff. For my Van RV I took the Onan generator out and to run my AC (which is not often) I just use portable gas generator and it’s great and small

I used 240 Jackery for my Cpap machine - good for 2 nites of sleep at camping no issue I love the 240, easy to carry and portable Charge so many times of small electronic Mainly used for Cpap the 240 jackery

...i am usually somewhat skeptical of these sponsored videos but not with yours. will totally consider getting one of these in the future. thank you!

I bought a 240 over the summer because of scheduled power outages. I love it and the solar panel.

Considering this because of COVID - would make travel so much easier - was just thinking about what model would work for me - and the I found your practical and informative video! Awesome!

My Jackery 300 can run a 40inch tv for 6 hours, hand held bender, and a few other things. It’s awesome

Thanks for marking your ad as sponsered. I appreciate the honesty which so many other reviewers lack.

I'll have to check out Jackerys as I have a Black/Decker brand now that has an inverter, compressor, USB charging, and battery jump starter that has helped me as well as other's that I have helped that needed a jump. These are great items that every car owner should have. This would make a great Christmas gift for those that have almost everything and appreciate it when they really need it. Power Stations to me are a great invention implementing the use of a portable battery power source.

Good info. It came handy i have this on my list to get me one!!

This so helpful to compare what they each power up. Thank you.

I guess they aren't marketing these anymore, but I just bought a Honda By Jackery power station at Auto Zone. They don't even list it on their website anymore, but apparently the one I bought is similar to the 160 but has a 208Whr battery compared to 167 or so in the 160. Also it is red and black with Honda stamped on it. Cool little power station. Going to use it on my boat.

Thank you so much for this!

great video brother. thanks for this

We love our Jackery 500 for camping. The next one I would buy is a Jackery 1500/. If we lived in the south instead of the Pacific Northwest I’d get the solar panels. Also if I need to charge my iPad or phones quicker in our home, I’ll use the Jackery over the wall outlet.

Re your comment on the shortcomings of your roof mounted panel, I do not like a roof mounted solar panel because if you are in the sun for a recharge, you are baking hot. Put a leg on the panel along with a longer cable and place it in the sun. This way you can position the panel for optimal angle and orientation periodically throughout the day.

I am eager to buy a Jackery. Thanks for the helpful information.

I have the 160 watt unit and it works good for what I need to power

Jackery has the best customer service

I have the smallest and the largest, plus one of jakery’s solar panel. I’m a weekend camper. I like their products are so simple to use. Happy anniversary jackery.

Thanks. I just started to look into this and camp in my Yukon xl almost like yours and same color. I’m just concerned which one I need that runs a small heater+heated blanket and mattress pad+ phone and portable chargers, laptop, small fridge, and 32” tv😄 and do you think I need 100 watts solar panel or two.

Do the solar panels really work? And if so how well. Can you run and power at the same time?

Thank you :-)

Wish I had one it would definitely be useful can’t afford it though but man are they neat

Solar has made camping so much easier. Definitely going to get one. I am curious if you have a small, electric portable heater that you could plug into the Jackery to use on those cold mornings? And also, maybe a small quiet portable fan for those hot nights? Tight lines!

Best for full fridge (2) backup power? 1500? Or maybe the 1000 with one or 2 solar panels?

For teh 12 volt cigarette connection can you run a splitter on it and connect a fridge and diesel heater at the same time? How many amps can the cigarette lighter handle?

Thanks! I just bought a 500 on Amazon. Good video and smart tips. I was interested before..., but as I have both a Tesla and half- of an older Van, it would probably be more for the Van... I checked the other brands, most of them advertise 'peak' output, so a '500' by anyone else is actually more equivalent to 250 in a Jackery.

I love my jackery 500. It’s a shame they took so long to launch in the Uk.

I live in Florida. The Tampa Bay area. That 1500 would be perfect. In the summer we have a lot of thunderstorms. Our electric always goes out. It would be perfect here.

Do these have a cooling fans? The reason I ask is I want to use them to power LED Drawer lights for a kitchen island that has no power. The LEDs are 2W-10W each and go on only when you have the drawer open, so I imagine the battery would last a very long time. But if it has its own fan, I don't imagine it would last very long.

I have a small pellet grill which i want to tailgate with. I need something to run the grill maybe a couple of crockpots and possibly an iPhone charger nothing really more than that...what do you recommend? Thanks in advance

I have a question when the solar is getting energy can you run the frigerator for hours and hours full size big house fridge

I've heard that when you want to use solar to charge these up you need an extra lead which isn't supplied with Jackery, could you tell me if this is right or not? Lots of folks saying that they had to order it after buying the power stations and the solar but no lead to plug into one another. I want the 250W so a solar connection would be ideal as I live in Spain where we have quite a lot of sunshine - thank you all in advance x
