Just suffered through a terrible ice storm with power outage and decided never again. I ordered this and I will be ready for the next one.

Great review, Larry. You do a really good job explaining the products in your reviews. 👍

Thank you for your comment! I completely agree with you, Larry does a fantastic job explaining products in his reviews. Speaking of portable power on-the-go, have you heard of the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity of up to 5kWh, quick recharge time, and a waterproof design, making it perfect for outdoor adventures. Check it out, it might be a great addition to your camping gear!

I have the Jackery 300. I live in an apartment and if there was an power outage I wanted to be able to charge my iPhone. It was a good choice. I’ve used it at home a bit just to see the usage I get out of it and it’s been great.

They are very good for small applications like that. We use ours all the time to light out USB light array in the family room along with some other applications.

I just got the Jackery Explorer 290W and Explorer 880W Solar Generator Kit bundle from Costco. 2 solar panels. Thanks for the video. I’ve been trying them out with all kinds of things at my house! “most importantly” in case of a power outage I can brew my coffee ha ha😂 hurricane season is upon us on the North Carolina coast.

@@UndertheMedian first thing I tried! ☕

I bought the unit at target but was disappointed that the solar panel is sold separately, previously the sales clerk mentioned it was inckuded but he was definitely wrong so now I will need to test the product at a different time!!!

A handy bit of information! Never let a power station sit in direct sunlight while charging, it can damage it.

Good to hide it in the shade behind the solar panel. Also, if you plug something into the USB-A or USB-C outlet on the back of the solar panel, it can get a little toasty in that pouch. I would use a short USB extension cable to allow the item to be placed elsewhere than inside the pouch.

You explain things very well. Would be nice if when people do these demos they could also give the prices, average range of what they cost

The reason why I don't get too specific about prices is that these reviews can stay up for years and the price will have changed over time. Right now this unit is going for $299 on their website. The Solar Saga 100 solar panel is also going for $299. Hope this helps.

Do jackery’s get hot & will they burn up backpacks if it’s charging something in it?

Can this run a basic Mr Coffee maker?

What is the purpose of the solar panel?

I have an ion bluetooth party speaker. At the plug on my speaker it says 175 watts. Would this jackery power my speaker for at least 7 - 9 hours. Would this jackery 300 explorer meet my need.

Great info. Thank you. Larry, do you have any thoughts on the portable HALO car battery charger? I thought about getting one in case my car battery dies and I'm out running errands , I wouldn't have to get help. I could just jump start with the HALO. It also works for charging phones..

I have several Halo Bolt jump starters. They work great for starting a vehicle that has a dead battery. Unlike most portable jump starters, the Halo Bolt (most models, not all) includes an AC outlet for powering a fan, lamp, or other low-power devices.

I have the Jackery 500 and love it. However, I'm thinking of going to the higher wattage on the Oupes. Which do you recommend?

@larryware1

Either one is good. My favorite among the Oupes line is their 1800. I don't own any of the larger Jackery power stations.

With only a LI battery with 800 recharge ..i would go with something thats LIP instead as this is behind the times and what the industry is using. Great review but you can get a bluetti, ecoflow,pecron with pass through charging and over 3000 recharges for the same price.

Or buy a 300+ unit

Sounds like you only used charging for a short period of time. I have the same unit and if you have something plugged in for some period of time, a fan comes on. Not dead quiet as declared. I could hear it kick on from another room. The larger units have an even more powerful and noisy fan.

Great Review. Can you also charge items using the USB-C port? Or it’s just for charging the jackery?

Larry.. help want to make best decision.. need power station for possible power outages we are in SC . We need to get a power station and solar panels .. A big concern is for us to keep our garaged upright freezer and our refrigerator which is in our kitchen. Of course to have it assist perhaps with an electric heater should power go out in chilly weather . We need something two senior citizens can manage and it must be free to run . No fuel. We understand we would need to get a larger support system to do this…

I would go with at least a 2,000 watt unit. That's a large demand for a battery powered station. Heaters take a lot of power. I use a gas generator for large demands. Most electric heaters use around 1300 watts so even a 2,000 watt power station would only run that for about 1 1/2 hours. The refrigerator and freezer would run for about 2 days from a 2,000 watt unit.

Yes, 1948. They have a UK website.

I bought the Jackery 400 a while back & Im not happy with it. It does it’s job BUT when compared to other companies, it just isn’t up to snuff. My cousin has the Bluetti EB3A & my buddy has the Ecoflow (idk what model) & I prefer them much more than the Jackery.

How long does it take to charge using solar?
