Does this mean Bob wills with family approve of Jackery?
2 suggestions: to your hours of operation chart, add a cpap machine and remove one of the heaters (they are a simple multiple), and for those who would be listening to your video, say whilst driving, less of the "this and this" and name the components...Otherwise, another excellent video sir!
@@ims3146 I agree. And if we find out over time that leakage is not a thing, maybe skip that? If it is, it's important to cover.
@13:13 that manual screenshot looks funny. for 12v 8amps max, double to 8amps max? should that be 16amps? (8+8 on two ports?) or is it actually limited to 8amps combined on both ports? can you test that?
@@ims3146 Better yet, add a BIPAP machine with a humidifier. There are many of us!
I don't know why jackery gives out so many units to other useless youtubers... hobotech is the only review they need
Bloody helll, I fell asleep and woke up in 2134 the year Jackery finally adopted LiFePO4 batteries.
Good to see AI Prof HoboTech still going strong.
Nope, you're just in an AI simulation. I should know. 😂
It makes me wonder if they’re just holding back technology and releasing it slowly over time.
This was the best video I have ever seen on UA-cam evaluating a product and providing such detailed information. Great job and thanks for doing this.
It's amazing the rapidity with which these companies are leapfrogging each other with each successive offering. Wonderful to see!
This Jackery didnt leapfrog any other companys product with this.
Yep..as soon as I buy one.. another model comes out..better and cheaper...😮😂
Why can't they make a right angle plug with a cable cable that's just the right right length with the option of a longer cable for those that need to separate the expansion battery from the main unit
Yes, competition is great.
The absolute best thing the Hobo brings to the table is the secret laboratory crazy experiments. Hands waving-DOUBLE FISTED BATTERY CAPACITY TEST. Specifically, that music. I’d buy the 45’.
Seriously, great review as always. I feel like Jackery is being dragged into the future instead of leading the way.
Hooray! Jackery finally caught up to EcoFlow and Bluetti. And those capacity scores are very impressive. Btw, thanks for reaching out to the community regarding tests we’d like to see (or not). Much appreciated 👍 Next up, ditch the Sorium Brandy and get yourself some Tranya. 🙃
Bluetti are cowboys when things go wrong, they’ll leave high and dry! Caveat emptor!
I really appreciated the idle time power consumption and the math. Answered all my questions. Thanks Hobotech!
Your channel is the first place I look when searching product reviews.
Big fan of Jackery!
Same😁
It must be the end of the world as we know it, because Jackery finally came out with a product that i would buy! It also looks like the least inexpensive solution (even with no discounts) to back up that pesky well pump! Great review! And a big WELL done to Jackery!!
Thanks for measuring the idle consumption in a reasonable way. For even more accurate results, you should charge it from empty to full using the same DC charging method and compare the ratio between the two.
Tom, Thank you for your hard work and time you spend on these videos. Before I consider buying any solar panels or portable power stations I watch your videos. Keep up the great work.
Can you do a video on the 240v connection? I would love to see that in action
Outstanding tests !
Thank you for sharing all this info.
I love my Jackeries, and yes, I only use them as a home back up power.
They are great products.
I'm glad Jackery finally came around to LiFePO4 battery. I have an older 1000W and really love it but would not purchase more because it takes so long to charge and my preference is the LiFePO4. Now that they've gone and done it, the last one in the line, I already own their competitions 3000W. Thanks for the great review. As far as your review process, I liked the previous style AND the new add-ons. Maybe to keep everyone happy vary your review styles? I'll watch either way. Thanks!
Which competitor did u buy
I’ll need to rewatch this, your putting out a lot of information.
That's a nice big unit, lots of power. Excellent review. Like how you go the extra mile testing. Explanations are great for anyone without a lot solar and unit knowledge, I'm sure that's appreciated by many ppl. 🙂👍
You need to have a thorough wall access system installed to test all the devices and equipment you go through. Including 240 volt switches with a control type panel. I love spending other people’s money 💰 but you are the test master. I don’t know why you’re not at 500k
The idle load issue of these types of units really surprised me. I like the analysis
As unusually you do, did, this testing was flawless ! Keep up the good work for us less sciencee types. Godspeed.
In the manual for my 2000 PRO it says plug the cables from solar into the unit before plugging in the panels. Now I know why 😉
Mr. Hobi after living 4 days without electricy i can say that a 2,000 watt PLUS for even apartment living is essential!! This product maybe ordered VERY SOON! GOOD VID SIR
Thank you for the new test. Much appreciated
I love your videos and glad you did one on this unit. 29 minutes and you talk about solar charging on the extra battery unit as well as the main unit at the same time. I was kind of concerned that if solar could only be charged through the main unit and you had five extra batteries that would take an extremely long time since you are so limited on solar input wattage if you wanted to use this in an off-grid situation. If I understand your experiment correctly, it sounds like as you add extra batteries you can also add extra solar because the extra battery units have solar charge controllers built into them. That makes the system a lot more practical for off-grid use. So glad you included that in your video. I have a Delta Pro system with 4 extra batteries and two main units that runs my house and has done so since January 31st of 2023. This Jackery system might be a contender!
just received my 2000+, I love it, but I was shocked to see the connector cord between the jackery 2000 and the battery pack sticks out 18" in the back! Jackery needs to come up with an adapter that enables it to plug sideways vs straight out so it can sit against a wall. And definitely remove the photos from the product page with it sitting flush against a wall.
Also I heard a couple people had issues connecting the two jackerys together for 240v, I wonder how many have tried that
Watching the fan test, doesn't jackery advertise 30db surprised it's closer to 50db at max
Thanks for putting in the work to get us real-world capacity, specs and documenting the charging & multi-charging behavior with the auxiliary unit. In this case it's doing more than expected, which is great to know in advance. Hopefully they'll update the unit's firmware or the app to account for displaying overall % when aux units are added - or maybe an in-app toggle between displaying total or individual %.
They finally checked a lot of boxes with this one, particularly the expandability and parallel unit option. Just a shame about the limited DC output and they hobbled the solar input with that 60V limit. It sounds like the two solar inputs are just another parallel splitter internally to allow for more power through those DC barrel plugs. Of course being Jackery it is on the expensive side, but actually with the introductory price it’s not far off the AC200max, which itself is getting long in the tooth and missing a couple of features.
Thank you for a thorough review. I would add that I do not think the parasitic draw test is as important as just checking that the unit does not automatically shut off with little to no load, which is particularly important for running fridges, etc. Most modern systems have a very similar parasitic draw and any excessive draw would probably be seen in the AC/DC capacity tests.
I appreciate the ghost load testing. Thanks, and sorry for making the videos longer.
I appreciate the phantom load tests.
Great work yet again! I appreciate your time and hard work doing these tests. Nice product Jackery best one yet. I definitely want one to start DJing in more remote areas .... cheers Hobotech!
I am looking into these battery, inverter, charger devices. It’s like a receiver instead of all separate components. Because it’s easily portable! Thank you for your review.
To accommodate those cables, this could stack up nicely in the corner of a tiny home and you wouldn't expose the cables at all like if they came out the side, or inside an empty TV corner cabinet maybe...
It's about time jackery stepped up their performance and most importantly did something to out-perform Goal Zero. Aa a weekend warrior my number one preferred equipments are my Honda eu2200i and my ecoflow. Delta 2. I'm definitely going to buy the new jackery mainly because all the Outlets are in front of it
Like the new idle draw test. Keep up the good work, Prof Hobo. The idle draw on the AC200P is ridiculous that's why I never bought it.
Absolutely amazing review
Looks like they had to pivot and play catch up. Jackery does make nice reliable stuff. Glad they updated. Wonder why they don't ditch that giant stiff connector cable and just put the input and output in the top/bottom so the expansion battery just clicks into the base.
No use using logic with Jackery! That's not in their business model..
Thank You Segway. The first to ditch the ugly cable. 😊
Thanks for the in depth review. Finally they take a step forward.
Awesome video. I'm sold! I've been checking this this out for a while. Great channel! 👍
Never seen a unit that had 12v output escape the Hobotech Finger BANG-BANG.
Good. I think getting zapped by that 8mm connector caused him to leave the sophomoric references for the other channels.
I just got this for prime day and my 2000 W plus did not come with the 8020 adapters that sucks however, it was $900 off so I guess I should not complain. Now I have to wait till next prime day to get the expansion battery!
Glad Jackery is finally using LiFePo4 batteries. I don’t mind the extra weight.
Jackery FINALLY released a solar generator that uses Life PO4 batteries! Its about F#%*ING time!
Thank you for reviewing this so quickly
Thanks for the review. Love the return of the “Hobo-Techno” echochamber!
Regarding the idle consumption for the AC inverter, I am really surprised that it uses 133 Wh in only 4 hours. I guess that means the average rate is about 33 watts. I would have expected it to be a lot less than that. I have one of the older Explorer 1000's, and it only seems to use about 3 watts or so while idle. Anyway thanks for doing the idle/phantom consumption testing for this new product. 😎
To get a more accurate idle watt consumption on your Jackery 1000, you'll need to perform a test similar to hobotech's. The power station's display doesn't tell the whole truth. That being said, smaller inverters are more efficient that larger ones. Therefore, if you only need to power a tv or modem, a smaller Jackery, Ecoflow or Bluetti would be a good choice. Large inverters are like V-8 engines and smaller ones are more like V-4's.
Nice. Thank you for the sfx intro
Well it’s nice to see that they finally came to the game. As I won’t really touch nmc as for in house backup.
Now I think they missed a few things. Only 60v pv input on something that big, and still with the proprietary inputs!
Did I miss the pv max wattage and the ups test?
Yep, must have nodded off.
They need to put a plug on the top of the main unit and plug on the bottom of the battery so they plug together when you stack them
The “phantom”, parasitic, or resting power draw from unused “live” outputs is a critical factor in my purchase decision based on my intended usage.
This is extremely helpful when using the generator to power any device that only needs power occasionally but when it needs it, it needs it. For example, any cooling device in a well insulated space.
The parasitic test is also helpful for devices that use constant minimal draw. Eco mode won’t even acknowledge the device and the battery will turn off.
Batteries that have a parasitic draw >2%/hour die in 2 days without powering a device. Based on my intended use, this is a deal-breaker for me.
Alas, I may be spending up to $2.5k on a multi-use sogen for: music performance, camping, dirty home-power, and powering more than 1 high wattage device at a time in my kitchen. Oh, and powering essentials during an outage.
The Jackery looks beautiful but doesn’t make the cut.
Any chance of a review of the recently released EF Delta 2 Max?
Thanks for all your hard work.
dont forget, you can hook up solar panels to offset the parasitic draw while the inverter is on. Perhaps Jackery could implement an AC timer function, to say turn in the fridge every 2 hours or so for 20 mins. Also, a suggestion previously given to avoid draining the battery when using the built in inverter is to just buy a cheap smaller inverter and plug it onto the more efficient 12v cig lighter plug for say clock radios and such, ie or something AC which uses a smaller unit of power than the full rated Jackery 3,000 Watt Nuclear Power Plant inverter running full blast as bright as the Sun which Powers our Solar System for two days, to run more efficiently whatever is the 'dealbraker' is for you.
@@mikemotorbike4283
Actually, having an inverter toggle on and off every hour might be just the thing: lose 1/2 as much to parasitic draw yet the fridge would still operate sufficiently. This would be a great “smart” feature.
Improved customization with remote apps could help as the tech improves.
Adding additional links in the chain could increase loss when not in use.
Fortunately, there are units that lose 0.5%/hour or less - an acceptable drain for me.
Staying connected to solar panels for a trickle charge might work when camping but not when at home where best outdoor sun is too far from where I’d need the power. As it is, I’ll likely need long extension cords from solar to generator and from generator to power-consuming devices. Given a constant gage, additional power is lost as cords get longer.
Question for folks who are in the LifePO4 or nothing train, - do you cycle the battery daily? If yes, then LifePO4 is the better choice. For the rest of the folks using this for weekend camping trips and overlanding, you do not need to add more weight to your gear by choosing this path. Lithuim Ion is the way to go. Batteries dont just die after 4000 or 2000 cycles,. Other components like cooling fan or inverter will likely die first and battery will be the last to retire.
I think technically you mean NMC. Both are "lithium ion" chemistries. Nick/Mag/cobalt vs iron phos. But yes, I've never understood the vitriol/ extreme criticism towards NMC. I have 12 "generators" (another silly debate), half nmc, half iron phos of various capacities and never a problem with any. I agree on the weight savings for the camping crowd. And I'm not gonna worry about max performance 10-15-20 years down the road. The tech will be better by then and I'll just buy new anyway.
Because it has separate solar input, I actually like that it doesn't combine percentages.
Interesting offering from them.
Good stuff, thankyou. Haven't had much sustained success with those old cigarette lighter dc connections. They seem to become loose after a while and sometimes just fail and stop working. Strange that it's the only dc output option offered. Hopefully they add a second dc output option and, like you wished for, 90°space saving cord caps for linking the extra battery pack to the main unit in the near future. Good to see Jackery offering a product with this type of battery now.
Cool Setup. Great Info
Do you need the expansion battery to get the 6000 watt xurge or does the station without the expansion battery allow for the 6000 surge? Great vid as always. Your hard work is definitely appreciated,.
I think the phantom test should increase the quality of the inverters of Good Solar Generator Companies. "Put on the pressure!" I believe companies listen to customers And Reviewers....eventually. Sorry, I'm an Android person (CUSTOMIZE!!!) and I think an app should be able to have SO Many variables (little light on/off after any number off minutes, power should turn on at 6:30am with the coffee pot plugged in and ready to go, etc.). Thanks for this video!
I really appreciate your videos!! A lot of good info before buying. I’m on the fence….I think I’d like a 3000 for my RV!
How does the unit discharge when the expansion is connected?
Also if you ask the crowd if they want you to do something, the answer will always be yes. That is because they don't have to do the work. I can't imagine this test result making a huge difference.
That’s interesting. In the UK, even in the winter, our household only uses about 7KwHrs per day
Yeah, I always found the average here in the states to be a bit off.
My guess is the south skews that number due to hot climates and lots of cooling/AC.
My house uses about 541.5 watts per day on average here in Michigan.($60/month)
The catch being my heating and stove are propane plus nobody is home half the day to run lights.
Hi from Godley Texas
I voted no on the extra work for the parasitic draw test, but the R&M drop in was worth it. More of those please.
I already have the older 1500 id love one of these newer modles but 2k is a ton of money to shell out
Hope the 1000 plus review is dropping soon!
Wow, looks like a promising unit now that they are onboard with LiiFePO4. What was the Over/Under on the EPS mode? My friends were waiting to bet money on that.
How does it compare with Odin the Cat for power?
Yay jackery is finally reached the technology we have had for a decade now lolol. I always refused to buy anything jackery because they refused to use LiFePO cells. Maybe once they get put into their lower sizes I’ll actually buy one now haha
Missed opportunity to ditch the cables, create an integrated, vertical modular connection, and name it The Stackery.
Great and humorous reviews! Looking to buy a power station for use in our 5th wheel. Mainly to power the microwave and other kitchen appliances during travel breaks or overnights in rest areas or other boondocking locations. I'd like a comparison video or just a specific recommendation.
This will certainly do that. I'd suggest waiting for Monday night's Prime Day videos I'll be publishing and pick something in your budget. If your focus is kitchen appliances you'll want something with at least a 2000w inverter and 1000wh of battery. If you do a lot of cooking (like Instant Pots or slow cookers) 2000wh or more is better.
Thank you for another wonderful video.
Interested in follow up on improvements and follow to determine possibilities of purchasing
Positive Comment!!!
Great job as usual! At 29:14 the expansion pack appears to throw an F7 code and I could find nothing in the user manual about that. Any idea?
Professor Hobo, could you please do a review of this Jackery 200 Plus product running in the 240 Volts Split Phase AC mode doing a home backup ? 🙏 Lets see if it blows up shall we ? 😃
I wish more reviews covered the parasitic losses. ❤
I had to put my Sandwich down to do the double fisted battery capacity test punch with you.
I like the parasitic test. Very useful! Thanks for doing it.
What were they thinking with that expansion cable
This is a good idea, I would need at least 10 kWh and 240 VAC @ 30 A min, this needs two main units to do 240, unclear on how to connect two parallel units for 240 VAC. Looking at the webpage, it looks like I would need to buy 2 x 6000's to get 12 kWh and 240 VAC in parallel...but how do you connect the parallel?.... Great job, thanks!
Well damn. Yeah that cable to connect the additional battery is the dealbreaker for me for RV use.
Would you explain more pls, thank you!
Best testing on the internet
Hi, really like your videos, they are super help full. Do you take questions for info on the products you test? Thanks in advance. Ed
You can ask questions at gohobo.io/facebook
90 degree cable to connect the battery. Super simple. Even if it's just an extra accessory.
Very nice for outdoor portable. But i will stick to 5kw server battery for $1500.
Tom like you said, when are they going to do away with the big extension cables
I have four 100 W solar Sagas I charge this 2000+ model with those panels?
Great review!
I’m always missing a good Dc output to connect a bigger DC load in a camper van .
What kind solar panel and power I need to buy to install on my RV roof to charge the JACKERY 3000 pro ? :)
FINALLY! TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH!
Great review Prof. I like it except for that massive cable.
Glad to see Jackery dragged screaming into the present.
I'll keep asking this...please test when a radio is plugged into the unit's AC outlet, does the radio speaker make a loud buzzing sound when in UPS mode.
Nice job I really appreciate this. Help me pick out what I wanna pick out nice to have somebody do all the work for you. We really appreciate it will donate.
That's great that it supports a 30amp plug. Since it is only 3000w, I would guess it only supports 25amps output?
I would like some sort of 12V DC connections other then the round port and USB. The round ports are very selective and find my refrig comming lose.
HOBOTech is awesome! Question: My newly purchased battery pack and Explorer 2000PLUS discharge at very different speeds. Both units are charged to 100%. Now, the E2000 plus is down to 3% and the battery pack is at a wopping 38%. I have emailed Jackery support 3 times and they are not answering my question(s). Can I continue to use the surplus capacity from the battery pack with the E2000 plus depleted completely. My guess is no. I have heard that they are supposed to synchronize and work together evenly (Charging and Discharging). To me, this is a huge design flaw if I'm unable to utilize 35% of available power. Your thoughts???
TyTy
No light? How am I going to communicate with the little green men?
Even just right angle connectors on the expansion battery daisy chain would make a huge difference.
I do have a question, though: Does the charge controller built in support a "Dump load?"
As in, once my batteries are charged, can it shunt the power still being produced by whatever into, say, a water heater element?
Is it worth getting the 24kwh if it’s on sale for 40% off?
