IF you drain the battery on UPS mode - automatically shutting off inverter - and then solar starts charging it back up, does the Inverter automatically come back on? or do you have to manually turn it back on?
Very expensive for us poor folk
You make exceptional video reviews. You mention a spreadsheet in this video, but I don't see a link?
Your hair dryer example was very Humorous 😂
I created my own system using 12 LTO - 40 amp batteries, into a battery box that looks like a normal vehicle battery, I estimate it at 5.6KW. Just add inverter of desired size for about $500 for myself or so depending. Cost total about $1000 +/-
Charging is another matter and a extra cost - I am connected to a small solar system (rated 700 watts) and if needed a 12v battery charger for rainy days as I use this system daily to save on grid electricity costs and we have evening rates versus day rates. LTO batteries are tested to be fire resistant and are a lot safer than other Lithium batteries as from what I seen in testing.
Very happy with the results of this DIY build and sure a lot cheaper.
98% efficiency - estimate 20 year life span or 25,000 cycles.
100% spot on. I’m 90% complete building my own pseudo mobile 2kw, 3.1kwh solar system. Significantly less expensive than any of these commercial power stations. If you are handy or know someone who is, then you’ll get much better system.
Is it possible to send pics. So we can see how ya did it 😅
I like that jackery is keeping up with things being able to add batteries and run inline with wifi controls is really a step up! the next step up is more power or a 240 whole house power unit.I would definitely add that to the mix if it were available.
I've used the Jackery 1500 since April 2021 and they do make a decent product. One problem also mentioned is their proprietary input plugs which limits the user to use their solar panels. I checked their web page and so far they do not list the specs nor did you consider the charging plugs. Unlike other companies which now have comparable solar generators, their input methods are universal. Bottomline: Jackery is overpriced and should stay with their original mission and that is supporting portability for outdoor use.
I got around that by getting solar panel with adaptors. Charges my 290 just fine but I need a bigger unit for sure.
can’t u just use adapters?
M rn😢
they have adapters, but yeh, it's more of a headache than it should be.
at a starting cost of 3300 for a single base unit, these still are well beyond the reach of a middle class family on a reasonable budget. And assuming they still build them this way, the plastic housing and non-replaceable batteries in jackeries are unacceptable features to me.
But it is nice to see these companies finally switching over to the iron phosphate batteries though.
We pay more because all these UA-camrs get tens of thousands of $’s of them for free.
Ridiculous
@@theresaprice1365 me, or Jackery?
where you getting that price from? It has a battery built in, so base unit means you don't need one of the expansion batteries.
@@wigenite a single unit on their and other retailer's websites retails at 3300. The unit you need before you can expand... The base unit to get started
Thanks Chris for the update on the Jackery SG 2000 Plus. I’m still looking but the price is what I have to be careful with. A Budget is a Budget. Stay safe everyone and keep prepping every day.
Look at you posing like a rockstar you get it boy
Always presenting options!
Thank you!
This is honestly a pretty insane level of expansion. Not to mention the fact you can make 220 amp outlets at 50amps is kinda crazy.
Bluetti has better capabilities for the same price at 3k watt output.
It's not 220V @ 50A it is 240V @ 30A 3:05
The socket may be designed to handle 50A but the inverter units can not deliver that and I can guarantee you that the 30A output will be peak output and only for around a 5 second duty cycle, if that.
@@TheTyrial86 The AC300 is more expensive.
Thank you Kris for the video.
Loved the hair dryer!😀The ones that can pair to do 220 are only ones on my list anymore due to well.
I love the jakery system use it while camping
Amazing how Hobotech's and your review hit UA-cam at the same time. This is a solid unit, with dual MPPT inputs for the inverter unit AND each battery unit! Charge everything at once (if you have enough panels and cables!)
This is closer to the Jackery system I've been waiting for.
Excellent review Chris! Thanks!
If I could, I would. Same for a nice Bluetti, etc.. Love the possibilities!
Thanks for the update!
I like how they have improved. This would be great to have.
the hairdryer demonstration was especially impressive. LOL.
that should have been the thumbnail lol
I purchased the 3000 Pro at its release, and I wish I would have known about this unit with its expandability.
And next year there will be new units with new features. Yep, that's just how it works.
at some point you have to call it good, every 6 months is buyer's remorse if you let it get to you, with how fast battery products are maturing and innovating. but its hard to not feel burned if you actually wanted to expand, and now you're gated off from it for a while.
I'm loving the technology. It may be time to start looking for an off-grid home, or buy myself a cargo van to convert.
I hear the Jackery is good. Thank You for your time. Stay Safe God Bless.
Great 👍 solar smart generator
Let's go prepping family! 👋🏼
Thanks for the review
Whoa! They really stepped up their game!
Seems like a nice unit and now a real competitor to other brands such as Bluetti and Ecoflow. However, their price is a little steep for similar models from the other brands.
My whole neighborhood has been buying EcoFlow because they see my units! They would love these even more!! We have a block celebration the 4th of July. We’ll see💯
I've shied away from Jackery, but I sure like learning all that I can about various generators.
Looks like they’re upping their game 👍
Awesome review. Thank you,
Love our Jackerys
With a generator on top of to get list, videos like this are good info for when I do get 1
Love the hair dryer picture, lol!😄💕
Does look like an awesome system. Nice review.
I like the reviews so far on these units however several people say you are basically required to use Jackery's solar panels. For me that is a deal breaker.
I have a jackery 1000 and I use Renogy with no problem. I would research this as I don’t think that is correct.
Thank you!
Fantastic information, thank you
I'm glad I was warned this was coming.
Magnifico.
I'm not as impressed with them as the stats say but this was good enough for me to dig into it myself.
the poses in your video alone makes Jackery a winner!! lol... anyways great overview!
Great overview 👌
I assure you the jackery station is... fully... operational.
If this's how far we've come with lifepo4, I can't wait until the semi-solids have matured.
Thank you Kris
Afternoon prep family
Thats great when you get them donated! .. would love but can't afford!
put your mind to it, and you can get them. but food and safety first.
Could use that today. Fourth time in two weeks having lost power for several hours due to severe storms, hail and tornado threats. Really, when did you hear of a tornado in June near Gulf Coast in June? -never unless on back side of a hurricane -
yeah the amount of power outages suddenly is quite spooky :( got to keep the food from spoiling at a moment's notice now. which is harder when it's hot.
State of the art means this year's model.
Kris, you must have enough stored power to light a neighborhood.
Looking forward to new fall releases, if any. How about spread sheet updates?
Jackery needs to step up their game with the inverter output.
2:43 Who says prepping is all serious 😂😂😂
Do you know if the 6000 watt surge is with the unit only or does it require an extra battery pack to get the 6000 watt surge? Great video.
Not a fan of the single product ad videos. Would always prefer see head to head product comparison. For example, how does this stack up against Delta 2 Max.
Best thing I’ve ever bought was the jackery 👍
Great Eco flow delta pro ultra 3 system 90 KWH power whole houseb
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother
Can it be used while solar charging? How long could it run an RV on the 30amp plug with an average pull of 20amps?
I got the smaller unit after watching your video hopefully I can afford this one
What is the general cost per KWH as compared to others?
I really need to win a good solar generator. Been trying to budget for one but life has happened a a new roof had to be put on. Will not go into debt because we promised God and live by the bible. Miracles do happen and I am praying for one. God's blessing to you and yours
THKS
Where is the updated spreedsheet here? Thanks
Or the Jackie is trying to get to the bigger campers that take 50 amp 240 volt plugins to run them which would be making it even a bigger part of their outdoor situation that the enjoy doing for people who needs it.
I've been comparing Jackery to Bluetti to Ecoflow, since to me these seem the top 3, with Anker a close 4th. Ecoflow and Bluetti seem to compete agressively for my business, but for the life of me I have no idea why anyone would pay the premium that Jackery charges. Based on the comments here I'm not the only one shaking me head at their pricing.
Right now the Bluetti AC180 looks to be the best bang for my buck as my first portable power station, especially the launch price. A comparable Jackery unit is hundreds more, and I believe has the older Lith-Ion battery tech instead of the newer (safer) Lith-Phos batteries.
Several Bluetti, which one do you like best?
My jackery is better quality than my Bluetti. I have 2 of each. A bit more expensive in the short term, but the Bluetti no longer works.
Slo mo bro 😎. Thanks for the info.
Well which jack will work for running a mini fridge and ac 110
6:00 So, if my PC is connected to the Jackery and the Jackery to the wall, and there is a blackout, is my PC gonna restart or those 20 ms is quick enough for my PC to hold on so it goes on working with no shut down like a UPS?
What’s everyone’s opinion on Vtoman brand solar generator? They have great bang for buck
I so wish i could afford on of those. SHTF is getting closer and I just got out of a 3 week stint in the hospital. I am recovering but i can't DO anything to prepare right now and its driving me nuts. Even though I've been preparing for a year, for the first time, I am afraid because I am not ready.
Just keep doing everything that's possible. Being slightly prepared is still better than not at all.
I think that if I can afford 2 Jackeries and 10 expansion batteries, I’ll just have my butler and chauffeur take turns riding a stationary bike hooked up to a generator for power.
Curious, with the Jackery Connector plugged into both Explorer 2000 units, are you seeing it balance the battery draw between the two units (using the 120/240V connector)? My experience is that it seems to pull from only one battery.
Have you ever tested the 4Patriots solar generator?
Why does ‘nt the spread sheet include the Anker 767 ?
Hi you mentioned the unit runs at 30dB at 500 w output. How loud does it get when you are running it in the 1000w? Anyway just trying to see how loud this unit gets in comparison to the delta pro?
Soooo many solar generator 💪🧨 if you have one to many I’ll take some of your hand lol 😜
Jackery 2,000-plus Would be able to run my kitchen stove indefinitely with solar panels going with two of them together to make 4,000 watts at 240 volts with all their batteries and run one light and that's all it be able to do for me. And that means it might be an idea for me to get but if I get that one I want you to get the pecan Plus or I figured that when I want you to get the jackery one I only get to pecan Plus if its going to take just as many batteries a win-win for me either way. Then I'd have to get something else for my water heater my dryer and for everything else.
Nice!
Sounds expensive. Is it fire resistant or turns of by itself to prevent fire. Does it have to be cooled? However, it looks nice and has great features.
i've never seen one go up, but they're infinitely safer than li-ion's by design.
How long would a battery pack run refrigerator for?
think it would work great for a off grid camper
they're heavy, so you have to keep that in mind if you're weight-conscious on your towing load.
I need a solar SYSTEM, to supply for my 1100 sq. Ft. House. Still looking.
I am sold, now i just need extra cash , solar panels are a must.
It sure took Jackery long enough to FINALLY use LiFePo4 battery chemistry. Jeepers.
It’s not always a bad thing, traditional Lithium batteries are about 25% lighter than LiPhosphate. They make for better mobility, if you fly this can be a huge factor. Pros and cons of everything. There are no perfect solutions, just trade offs.
if it was so easy to instantly switch over, they'd all have done it by now. theres tons of battery manuf's still on li-ion. and EV's...
@@chancepaladin Jackery is CLEARLY playing catch-up here. Several manufacturers like EcoFlow and Bluetti have been doing LiFePo4 for many months.
@@VideosOffRoad 'many months', it takes a long time for these units to mature, nobody wants to put anything out that isn't market-ready along with manufacturing properly spun up. not to mention all the tooling, etc.. their rep is on the line, so they're being careful. they don't want a reputation for being junk, like Jeep, for example.
@@chancepaladin Amen about Jeep! Ask me how I know. 🤣
So shiny!!!
Can you charge it with solar panels and still pull a load?
(Like can you charge it while having a refrigerator plugged in to it and it will run it?)
these bigger units often have massive charge controllers in them so that they can hold inbound and outbound at decent loads simultaneously. its usually only the budget models that can handle AC output, but no charging.
@@chancepaladin Thanks for the info. I have a Tracklife 400w that will charge on solar and charge my phone at the same time. I have. Bluetti 2500w and it will not. 🥹
I'd love a Jackery, or generator.
Not a generator, Debbie...only a battery.
Nice
i love my jackery
What would everyone buy for 1500. Looking for a generator and panel combo?
I wouldn't, I'd wait for a combo bundle deal to go on sale, unless you need something immediately.
What about a higher amp DC output for radios? $4,000 and it still can't power a $600 ham radio...
None of the Chinese made high frequency, transformerless solar generators on today's market including the Jackery last very long when powering high inductance loads like full sized refrigerators, large power tools, welders, portable AC units or large microwave ovens. The reason for this is that they are of a high frequency, transformerless design and the cheap Chinese manufactured MOSFETs and capacitors used in these units cannot take repeated exposures to high surge loads.
Without an iron core, copper wound transformer to absorb the back EMF and high surge demands of these high inductance loads, typically after a couple of year's worth of use, these expensive solar generators can become a non-repairable brick. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when this solar generator is new but every time you fire up or shut down that inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in your solar generator.
They also run much hotter than low frequency, transformer based inverters which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in these cheap solar generators, far more prone to early failure.
This is especially true regarding the amount of electro-mechanical wear on solar generator’s low cost capacitors. Inverters rely heavily on capacitors to provide a smooth power output at varying levels of current; however the electrolytic capacitors that are used in these solar generators have a limited lifespan and age much faster than dry components. Capacitors are also extremely sensitive to the high temperatures found in these solar generators. Capacitor electrolytes evaporate faster at higher temperatures which can reduce the life of these components.
Another major consideration with these high frequency, transformer free solar generators is safety. All it takes is for one of their MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground or the wave form control circuitry to fail, and these units will send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
Another consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, most consumers will not be able to afford to ship these units back to the manufacturer in China to have them repaired. And at a typical shop rate of $125 per hour, here in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it won't make economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have taken the inverter's PCB with it, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick.
A far better alternative is to invest less money and purchase a hybrid, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and a LFP battery. Your system will last far, far longer, it will run much cooler and can easily power high surge loads without being damaged and without damaging your appliances. I know this to be true because I've spent the last 23 years repairing inverters. High frequency solar generators simply don't last when powering high inductance loads and can set your appliances, van, EV and even your home on fire.
I'm considering buying an EMP shield for my car, and Nuke Alert keychain. Does anyone have either of these? Is it worth buying them?
Following
Emp for car is a leap of faith ...won't know if it works till you have a emp or large solar flare....just my thoughts
Funny but true need. In elementary school it was the little desk. You'd think the country would have required it built a in protection, into all homes, besides life and house insurance. "Gov't for the people?" P.S. you would know that a designed preventative devise would work. If you can protect astronauts flying to the moon, and protect humans from jet g-forces, then you can know the gadget would work. Fallout shelters aren't cheap and they'd work for cars too. Or....stop making nuclear.
If an EMP hits, you won't be able to get fuel or parts for a car.
As far as a nuke alert keychain, I have a Geiger counter that can test food and water, air, surfaces, so I can tell levels of radiation after if I'm still here. I live way too close to potential nuclear targets, though.
What do you think about Victron energy products? I saw several videos of people who live off grid and said that victron is the best
yeh, i have never tested them myself, but they have a good reputation
Nice👍
How much? 😮
Spreadsheet link?
Where is the link to the spreadsheet please?
Wondering the same thing.
On sale now $1299
I would love to do a live with you.
All im lacking is solar generator:(
