So, for $4K you get a box that is capable of putting out 3,000 watts for about 45 minutes, which is 600 watts shy of the max you can pull through a TT-30 RV connection, though it should accomplish most things. Maybe you could extend the run time by spending more money on solar panels or extended battery packs, if available, but I doubt it will get you through a weekend of camping, or even an extended power outage running the necessities in your home. Imho these devices, while they may be useful in certain scenarios, cost a lot of money for a relatively modest electrical storage capacity, and function as a very expensive brick once their capacity is depleted.
They pair perfectly with a small gas generator to recharge them. Having a 1000w gas generator paired with this, plus some solar, is much better in my view than a 3000w or bigger gas generator that is much louder, bigger and requires more maintenance
Only about $2,200 with their discount! A DIY system costs about $1,500 to $2,000, but they don't have an app, so this is a real deal at $2,200. However, for $4,000; it's not worth it for sure.
@ In the video, it was charging at 1700+ watts, iirc, so, unless there's an option to limit charging current in the app, a 1kw generator is going to have a bad day.....BUT, now, I'm spending another $500 on a generator to make my $4K battery box workable, AND I get all the joys and headaches of generator ownership.....So, if I'm buying and maintaining a generator anyway, why not spend $1,000 on a 3kw generator and be done with it?
Thank you. Was trying to form a post like yours, but you beat me to it and probably did it better. What you get for FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS is troubling.
Interesting, its definitely regular Lithium Ion. I have no connection to Lowes but I just sent their customer service a note with a link to Jackerys page telling them they need to update their specs.
You can do another battery but its only their proprietary one still listed as Lithium Ion, but yes if you have the right connection and settings you could go through the solar input to simulate charging voltage
Thank you. I have honestly thought of doing that, puncturing the whole thing or blowing holes through it. I guess I need to figure a way to be a little scientific so I can do it on brand as I get them. I am open to any ideas
Thank you for the informative video!...appreciate your pointing out the heightened fire safety risk regarding Lithium-Ion batteries…I have searched on fires and recalls for Lithium-Ion and LiFePO4 portable power station products from Jackery, Bluetti, EcoFlow and Anker…I didn’t find anything!!...I’m hoping that this excellent product safety track record continues as these units age further…I have several units as old as 5 years in reserve for power outages....they're like new and periodic testing shows consistent year over year performance!!!
Thanks for watching - What are your thoughts on this Jackery?

I just don’t understand why these battery packs are called generators. They don’t generate power they just store it.
@@benanddadmechanical6573 True 👍
I have Ecoflow Delta 2 Max 4800 W and it’s AMAZING !!!✌🏼🇲🇽
That is a fantastic one, definitely
According to the Lowes link that you provided, this model has LiFEPO4 batteries and is rated at 4000 charge cycles not 2000. Please clarify.

Vendor's websites OFTEN have WRONG INFO. Before making a major purchase, I always go to the manufacturer's website and download the User Manual.
THANK YOU for your short & easy to understand explanation of the differences. I had no idea! God bless you!
Thank you for the nice words, glad it was helpful.
Can you parallel a lifpo4 expansion battery or do you have to use solar input?😮
You can do another battery but its only their proprietary one still listed as Lithium Ion, but yes if you have the right connection and settings you could go through the solar input to simulate charging voltage
can you charge the jackery with a generator while it is also supplying power to a appliance?
What is the cost of this unit?
Four thousand dollars.
$ 4000 +, people!
@Woodsm, what??
Rip off price is slightly overpriced for what you get jmot
I want to see what happens if it is exposed to 🔥🔥🔥. Good info, regardless
Thank you. I have honestly thought of doing that, puncturing the whole thing or blowing holes through it. I guess I need to figure a way to be a little scientific so I can do it on brand as I get them. I am open to any ideas
Very informative and to the point, thank you!

No. I am done with Jackery and their pathetic 12v output options.
Oh, joy. Yet another power station commercial🙄
Fire hazard. Not in my house!
