    I purchased one of these a few months ago after watching a different review. I also bought the Solarsaga 60 panels. When I received the E500, it was at 30%, I set up the solar panels and waited 7 hrs for it to hit 100% (70% in 7 hrs is okay with me). I run my CPAP with the heater off, and I can use it 3 to 4 nights (5 hrs on average per night). So if I run it 1 or 2 nights, then set it out to solar recharge, I am in good shape. If I get in a bind, I can charge it through my truck (It has an invertor for 120volt), or I can charge it by cable that I made with Anderson connectors and hook it to my truck battery. When I am at home, I plug into my shore or house power. I have never drained the E500, but I imagine it will charge pretty fast through the AC of my house.
    I am very happy with this product.

    I have used my 500 for a year every single day for a year and love it. I can’t depend on the Jackery panel every day because when it’s cloudy enough it gives me almost no charge at all. Sunny days it does good. I charge it in the house when I have to. Jackery says don’t let the battery get down to 20 percent charge

    Awesome review. I’m going to sub. But I wanted to just update those who might not know. The Jackery 500 in this video is not the latest generation. You can tell by the logo at the top right it is the unit. The newer version of the Jackery 500 features an MPPT charge controller and not the cheaper and less efficient PWM controller. Which means the MPPT version charges about 30-60% more efficiently on the same solar panel compared to the older model. I’m sure my comment could have been worded better, Im no expert lol.

    Yooooo J. Nice vid my brotha. I enjoyed it. You basically described me in the 3-4 day weekend getaways. And I do agree that it would be nice to have a 110 plug in for something. But honestly, all I use is a battery powered radio, my cellphone, and a battery fan. But having the large Jackery I can expand to plug in device if needed. Also, I think people need to understand that the PRIME way to get max use out of the Jack is to fully charge it with 110 at home prior to going on your trip and using even an 80 watt solar panel as a way to keep it “topped off”. Oh shit bro, just watched the end of your vid and noticed that you said basically what I did. My bad bro. 👍🏾

They recommend a "Converter" (DC to DC) rather than an "Inverter"... they can explain it all better than me... www.resmed.com/us/dam/documents/articles/198103_battery-guide_glo_eng.pdf . There is no one-answer-fits-all because the pressure of your unit and other factors contribute to power use. If you don't have a Resmed device then check your manufacturer for their specific recommendations. The reason I didn't use my humidifier was I wanted to see how long I could stretch it out without a recharge... I figured 7 days was good enough for me so I stopped the test. I think I could have gone another 2 or 3 days.

    If you get the DC power cord for your CPAP machine it will use much less power, about one-third as much power as running through the AC inverter. I have a jackery 240. I do not run the humidifier or the heater on my CPAP. 9 hours on CPAP only takes it down by 35%. Recharging Jackery 240 with my own 100 watt panel only takes about 2 hours. I have also been using a couple of different branded 500-watt our power stations. I can run my Dometic 35W for about twelve hours on either of the 500WH power stations that I have tried. I have never drained any of the power stations down below 20% and I have never had a problem getting back to full charge with my 100 watt panel. longest I ever had to charge it was about seven hours of sunlight.

Plus our computers and cell phones. We have a 1000 watt VTOman and recharge it as we drive (keeps it from running down as fast). We usually aren't out more than 3-4 days before we can plug it in to shore power, and it suits us fine.

    Save your money. Buy solar panels and a couple of batteries. I have 3 Jackerys.2-240s and a 500. All are less than 5 months old. The first 240 I purchased works great and when charging by solar will accept the full wattage that my solar panel puts out. If a cloud moves across and lowers the output as soon as the cloud moves on the wattage moves up again to whatever max wattage the panel is putting out and this 240 charges to 100% in no time. My second 240 does not accept the full wattage that my solar panel puts out. This 240 maxes out around 31 watts and I have yet to have it charge to 100% in a full day of sun. The 500 works even worse. When first plugged into the sloar panels it accepts the full wattage of the solar panel until a shadow crosses the solar panel. When the shadow is gone the 500 will max the wattage out 40 watts. If you unplug the 500 from the panel and plug it in again the wattage jumps back up to whatever the solar panel is putting out. On a even a slightly cloudy day I have to constantly plug/unplug the 500 so it will take the max wattage my panel puts out. To date the 500 has never charged 100% after a full day of sun. I am lucky if it charges up to 39%. Jackery claims that both the second 240 and the 500 are charging normally. I say that if my first Jackery 240 accepts, lowers and rises back up to the full wattage output of the solar panel so should the other two. Needless to say the second 240 and 500 are being returned to Jackery. With the close to $700 invested in them my money is better spent on a few more solar panels and a couple of house batteries for the van.

      I think my battery or panel gets confused as well when the shade thing happens. I unplug it and plug it back in just in case. Seems to work better in situations with no cloud or shade interruptions.

      @Jamie. Jamie...I was going to call you Dude! but that sounded kind of rude. I am a woman who lives in a van. Until recently, I did not have large solar panels- only 3 small ones about 15 watts each. I charged my Jackerys from the cigarette lighter. I simply relayed my experience this week charging the Jackerys with the larger solar panel. And I believe that I see the same issue in the Jackery you were demonstrating. And for the record, it doesn't get too much more realistic or modest with $1500 to your name and being unemployed on the closer side to 60 years old.

    Did you ever try seeing if the MPPT recovers to pulling max power? The unit is trying to optimize for peak power. If you draw too much current from a shaded panel the voltage will collapse and you get less power out. But the algorithm should test driving the power back up otherwise a cloud goes by or someone stands in front of it you’re gonna be penalized which is dumb.

    2.4 amps at 12v = 29 watts. The Jackery 500 is about 440 watt hours useable. Therefore, you could run that fun on high for about....440/29 = 15 hours.

  • @thomasmaughan4798
    @thomasmaughan4798 4 роки тому

    Solar panels are rated to a theoretical maximum. To get closer to it an MPPT charge controller is usually needed. Maximum Power Point Tracker. Getting 60 watts out of a 100 watt panel is pretty good. I typically get 80 out of a 150 watt panel. MPPT adds about 15 percent more power depending on the panel's open circuit voltage spec.

    You should put a volt meter to that panel and see what it is really putting out... 42-65w seems low for a 100w panel.. especially since you can move it and point it directly at the sun... Or maybe the read out on the batter/inverter unit is wrong..?

    • @enigmaticnomadics

    On a 500whr power station, and I've tested 3 of different brands, CPAP without a humidifier uses 18%, and with the humidifier on its more like half. Do not use the AC inverter, use the 12v plug available for your CPAP as it's more effecient and lighter to travel with than the AC transformer which is converting 12 or 24v to AC anyway and then back again

    Here is what you do with the Jackery and solar charging.
    The Jackery 500 can be charged at up to 100W but it requires 30V to the input.
    Get a boost converter that converts the voltage from the solar panel to 30V. I set mine to 29.5V and on a good sunny day I can charge at 96W.
    With a 100W panel that really requires perfect alignment and perfect sun. To make it a bit easier get a 160W panel or even go up to 200W. That way the alignment does not have to be perfect since a 200W panel will still produce 100W when it is at a 45 deg angle from the sun.
    The same goes for charging in your car. Convert the 12/13V to 30V and charge at 100W. Jut make sure the fuses and wiring can handle the current.
    Done!!
