    I bought the Jackery 300 plus with the 40 watt solar panel last year, sent back the 300 plus and kept the 40 watt IP68 solar panel to use with my other Jackery legacy 240, and the newer Jackery 100 plus. You can't buy the 40 watt panel by itself, which stinks. Yeah, the 40 watt is not much, but it fits in a backpack along with the 240 or 100 plus, or both. It charged my 100 plus from 63% to 100% in 90 minutes. Moving on, Luv that you can leave the 40 watt panel in a downpour, storm, or dunk it under water (not that I would), but that shows how water resistant it is if you leave it at a campsite the whole day with a few flash thunderstorm washes. Wish the Jackery 100 watt solar panel was IP68 as I would deal with the extra size in exchange for more than twice the power. Thanks for the super duper comprehensive review!

    Interesting. The one I was sent for review here in Australia is only 15w out of the usb c port. The other is the bidirectional 100w port. I would have expected them to be identical aside from the ac side.

      If you're considering paying for a battery to keep in your car in case of emergencies, you might as well get one that can jump start your car battery too.
      USB output and some sort of light are almost always features. I have one that costs $80 and even came with a tire pump. I actually used the pump yesterday to top off my tires, best $80 ever.

      USB C is the only DC charging option, you can still use the AC cord, but I still agree That’s a total deal breaker and very underwhelming. The offerings from Ecoflow and Blueetti in this category are much better value and have proper solar charge ports built in

  • @jibberny512
    @jibberny512 9 місяців тому +1

    So they include an 8020 to USB-C adapter? Every Jackery panel I have and I have quite a few has a 7909 plug on the end of the cord and includes an 8020 adapter for the bigger Jackerys so why an 8020 to USB-C? why not a 7909 to USC Seems to me to charge this thing you'll have two adapters on the end of the cord before you even get to the Jackery and that's a lot of weight on a little USB-C plug.

    USB-C ports now say: the dual PD USB-C ports (1*100W input&output and 1*15W output) enable quick charging for your multiple devices simultaneously. So one at 15W and one in/out at 100W. 7/1/24.

    Thank you Professor! I would be very interested in your thoughts on the new Litheli Eclair 1000. I just received mine as an Indiegogo campaign backer and it is pretty cool and innovative as it serves as a dual charger for their lithium power packs. It also pairs well with the new Litheli power wagon that was also recently released and the other Litheli Power tools currently on the market. As a current owner of an Ecoflow Delta II (based on your recommendation) I can see the Eclair 1000 now being my primary on location power source as a photographer. Please keep these very informative and great videos coming!!!

    I really dislike when companies mess with USB-C. It's bound to cause issues with some devices if it randomly decides to pull more amperage than a USB PDO allows. Could have easily stuck a separate DC input into the thing and avoided the adapter mess.
    Those little foldable solar panels tend to be horribly inefficient and put out even less when they heat up. They all kind of look the same, which makes me think one ODM is producing them all.

  • @donbrloks3959
    @donbrloks3959 Рік тому

    Is there really such a thing as UPS. You plug in, say, your computer. It is running off the inverter. Input AC power keeps the battery charged. If input power goes away, there is no magical switch over. Computer continues to be powered from the inverter in the power station. Computer will continue to operate until the battery runs down or AC input power is restored. Am I missing something here?

    • @Maxerl999
      @Maxerl999 11 місяців тому

      Well it's not magical but that's the whole point of UPS. If input power goes away, without this device in between, the computer would just have its power cut, which might damage the computer. With jackery explorer (or any ups), you have time to safely shutdown (windows->shutdown or similar) the computer before the UPS battery has run out.

    I absolutely hate when manufacturers change the specifications on a product and we are watching you review an original or prototype version. There are NOT 2 x 100W USB-c ports. They changed it to a 15w USB-C and 100W in/out USB-C. What makes me angrier is to go to Jackery Canada's site and they show pictures of 2 x 100W ports. The AMAZON CANADA shows pictures of BOTH. Some with a 15W usb-c port and some with 2 x 100W usb-c ports. Very deceiving. Looking at the top of the instruction booklet you are holding, It looks like you are reviewing is MODEL J5G-0304B and Jackery is sending out JE-300B with the 15 watt USB-C port.

    I don't think it's impressive. Waste of time...My Jackery 500 is only good for one thing, lightweight charging of a laptop, small lights, or a phone. With its pitiful 67 watt max input, you really can't use it for much, nor can you charge it in a full day of sun. This little thing at least can charge faster. WTF with that 10 gauge power cord, OMG? 3 adapters needed to use USB-C in with that wonky orange cord? How is this solar? Crazy and typical of Jackery engineers to produce another absurd charging paradigm. 300Wh is tiny and is nothing more than a little phone battery charger at best. And they still have that huge cigarette lighter hole right smack in front, with no cover. This open hole is really most useful when you buy a plug adapter for more USB ports (10A). SOS feature is ridiculous, and why would you position a light to shine in your face when you are looking at the controls? Jackery has always been slow and way behind the curve in delivering the solid power that is meaningful for day to day continuity. Look to Bluetti units for a better deal per watt and more power.

      "Overpriced and underwhelming"
      Great comment.
      I'd say it's not competitively priced while being overwhelming but it is a jackery

    This is a MISS, no DC ports, 40 watt panel ....lol
    The bluetti eb3a is a better deal for $198.
    Jackerys engineering is a train wreck.

      The bluetti has no solar panel included and only 1 USB-C port... no, thanks.

    Not impressed at all !!! And the fact that Jackery forces me to purchase a 12v car cord is a deal breaker, keep trying Jackery this is a fail in my opinion.
