Awesome review. Awesome assistance. Thank you very much. Hugs and kissies for Odin and Thor. ODIN!!!!
Sold out
Already sold out!!
Good to know. They called it a bonus for buying the 1000w. Hope you are staying cool! Love the new studio and background mountains!👌💞
Is it possible to charge an e-bike battery with this and a solar panel?
"The Toyota of power stations"!!!
I could not agree more. Jackery has great quality, but i also cannot wait till i get my AC200!
Thank you for another excellent review Professor. I'm a big fan of Jackery and of all your review video blogs.. Jackery suits me (I have two of the Jackery explorer 1000s, a Jackery 160, and 2 of the excellent Jackery 100 watt portable solar panels). Jackery is a California based Company with excellent customer service and a great reputation. I like their products, because they're compact, simple to understand and use, safe, reliable, and light weight. I started looking into the battery backups available on the market because of the all the power outages that the California Edison Company has during our hot summers. I've lived in a remote area of the Mojave Desert for 44 years, and the amount of food I've had to throw out over the years due to power outages, not to mention the sweat and discomfort when the power is off and the outside temp. is above 115, made me raid my wallet and spring for some way to be prepared for the outages.. Based on your review of the 2400 wh Bluetti, I also have one of those that runs a small through the wall A/C for a number of hours when power is out.
The Bluetti is another excellent product, although it's too heavy for 83 year old, me, to move around and use for all sorts of power needs as I do with the Jackeries. You are a national treasure Professor Hobo. Your skills in testing and explaining new technologies are marvelous and I'm sure have helped thousands of other people who have stumbled on RUclips and You, in their quest for explanations of this technological world we now live in. Thank you!
Best comment. 👍
Chill bro..its only a RUclips video.
all lithium batteries in these power stations are made in China, don't get it twisted
I just purchased the 300 Thank You for the discount code..
I have the 1000 and the 500 also 240 I think it is a great unit and the quick change makes it worth the investment.
Love you Chanel, I get great information from you.
Keep your great videos coming they are much appreciated.
I have to ask why you need so many units or what you do with them?
I have them each matched with a panel and each has a task to take care of .
Refrigerator freezer fans and one to charge flash lights and other electric devices.
My setup is manly for when we have power outage.
I do use them for when my family goes to the lake for the day.
Over all I have been using them for things I never imagined like when I clean the interior of the suv it’s great to not have wait until I get home, the kids always find a way to get mud and dirt everywhere, so many uses I can’t list them all.
I have been very pleased with how versatile these units are.
Hey professor, I’m not a technical or electrical guy, and I truly appreciate your reviews and presentation so as to make these things more understandable to those like me.
I covered “Jackery” with the Hobotech sticker you gave me :-)
Awesome! 😂👍
preach
I wonder if it could charge my electric wheel chair ?
This is hands down the best review I have ever seen.
Jackery's customer service is absolutely amazing.
Abbey Jane too bad their USB ports aren’t as good
@@cityslickeroutdoors8306 What do you mean
Note that you do want a cloudy day, the sun rays are magnified by x2 off the edges of the clouds giving you more power to that solar panel. I’ve had a 7.8kw home solar system since 2007 and you can see those solar ray peaks as the clouds go by. Awesome video, I am sold on the Explorer 300 for my camping needs. Thanks
When you register your 300 with that small orange card with Jackery you get an " additional 12 months" added to your 24 month factory warranty! Jackery Team customer service is very good and responsive! Thank you for all the great info.
Hi HOBOTECK, and thanks for the awesome review! i watched many of your others on the Jackerys and almost bought the 240 just days ago, but so glad i didnt, and saw this new one that you reviewed and just came out today with the extra features and power. Thanks again, and i did get the $50 with your coupon code! Happy!
Based upon your review and recommendation, I bought the Bluetti 1500 and couldn't be happier. It runs my 40 litre Engel fridge/freezer set at ZERO degrees for 2 whole days without being recharged at all. I used a recent coupon code to buy it and wanted to pre-order the Bluetti AC50S but couldn't use the same code again. The $50.00 off that you posted today worked perfectly. I have a first generation Ecoflow River so I can wait for the AC50S to come in. Looks like Bluetti may have Jackery looking over their shoulder! Keep up the good work!
HoBotech You failed to mention the rubber 12V Cover that's new! (We have spoken about that in the pass as an issue)
Now if they would cover the other ports.
This will be great when its in the 500+ power range. 300 is on the low side just n case u need it to last more than a day or running higher power items. This is more for weekenders that can charger everything up before they leave and keep charging in the car until they reach there spot. Over 2 or 3 days cant see this lasting other then to charge phones. Which for $300 must be better ways to do so. I doubt it would power a 12V frig for days.
I was just looking at this brand yesterday so I really appreciate your time to review it 👍
Hobo, thorough review and my compliments as an Electrical Engineer, no one does it better than you or Will. Regarding the issue with the heat gun shutting off at lower power settings, you are probably running into issues with inductive resistances and power factor from the motor. Typical heaters like you have are purely resistive so they may fool the circuitry to deliver more power. Also, the meter itself may be fooling you so a True RMS meter should be used. Otherwise, great job as always!
I used a 3rd party meter but cut that out due to time. I haven't had issues like that before where the power ramps down as I turn up the heat. The only thing similar was with the R600 but it was lowering the voltage where the Jackery wasn't. Was quite odd.
Hey Tom. I thought I'd let you know that Jackery has upgraded the controller in the 500 model. It's now MPPT. They also extended the time until auto shutdown to 12 hours instead of 6 hours. They've obviously been listening to you and others. I made an unboxing/review video of it where I show the manual at the end, where it clearly states it's using MPPT. Cosmo Weems contacted Jackery to clear up the confusion and they told him that they have upgraded since the Jackery 500's release last year.
I'll verify with Jackery if they really did update the 500 but the fact they didn't say a word about it or send me an updated model to review makes me believe it hasn't actually been updated.
@@HOBOTECH Yes, please do. I can't take this thing apart to check for myself. I have a hard time believing they would ruin their good name by changing the manual without upgrading the product, but you never know...
I love watching the solar de-generator tests
I got this Jackery a few months ago and it performs pretty good, one of the things I don't like is that doesn't shut off by itself when is not in use (no draw from ac, usb or12v, etc.) need to be turn off or on every time. Powerbanks to charge phones and bluetooth speakers, for example, have that feature to save battery. That would be a fantastic feature but maybe for future products. Little inconvenience but not terrible. After all I like it, I think is a must have for any emergency situation...Thanks for very info. video...
I agree!.. a lantern with a diffuse light will be awesome!.. and why not!...also a flashlight as we have it in the Explorer 1000. Very handy on a small device and cheap to build.
Thank you, Tom, for the thorough review.. Because of the max temp of 104 deg., desert use may be a problem..
I don't plan on camping in any temperature over 80 degrees, I think most people are the same.
I used my solar gens in 110F all summer with no issues.
@@CindyinArizona You should read Tom's reply... "If YOU THINK most people are the same", you obviously don't know many people or what they think..??? Thank you 'Big Sister' for your myopic, left-leaning, cookie-cutter governmental insight ..!!! LOL!
@@pjf7943 She voted for Biden..lol
I have an EcoFlow River 2 & EcoFlow 110W Solar Panel which I both love. I was choosing between Anker, Bluetti, Jackery & EcoFlow. Ultimately I decided on the EcoFlow. Each of these brands have units of different sizes that are all relatively comparable in size, features & price. However they do have slight variations in pros & cons between comparable models.
Really, you can’t go wrong with any of these brands. The trick is finding one that suits your needs the best. One of the slight annoyances is the different solar cable connectors that are different among the brands & can vary between units of the same brand. They kind of want you to get & use the same brand solar panel with the portable power station that you get. E.G.my EcoFlow uses at xt60 to MC4 solar cable whereas the Jackery 300 has a dc7909 port on the power station. You can get an xt60 to dc7909 cable so you can use the EcoFlow solar pane with the Jackery 300 or do what I did - get a 6-in-1 universal solar cable that has 6 different connectors. It costs a little more but is worth it for its versatility.
Anyway, I just ordered a Jackery 300 because of the killer Black Friday deals. It’s on sale for $199 & I got a $15 coupon code. 🙂 I almost went with the Bluetti EB3A which is a nice unit. The Bluetti Eb3A is 268Wh vs Jackery 300’s 300Wh IIRC or maybe its 298 but it is more than the Bluetti. i was leaning toward the Bouetti because they have an 804Wh expansion pack, the B80 which works with the EB3A which is awesome. It kind of helps to future proof it. your review kind of swayed me to go with the Jackery. Jackery users seem to really love their units & rave about Jackery customer service.
Both my EcoFlow & Jackery portable power stations are around 300W. In the future I want to add to my little power station grid with a 700-1000W unit. I’m thinking I might get a Jackery 1000 or one of the new Bluetti units the AC180 or AC70. The AC180 is 1440Wh & the AC70 is 768. I wish that I had the money to buy the Bluetti AC180 right now. As of 21NOV23 the $999 MSRP of the AC180 is $350 off. It’s on sale for $649 which is insane! The AC70 is only $100 off of its $599 list price for $499. At that price the AC180 is almost too good to pass up. I’d get it but I ordered a Hiboy S2 EScooter because it was on sale. I figured a smaller portable power station & an eScooter is better than one big portable power station & no eSscooter.
Anyway, thanks for the review as always. They are extremely helpful. This is my first Jackery unit as I have always gone with Anker & EcoFlow stuff so I am excited about it. I try to not get caught up with brands but judge on merits & specs as far as tech items go anyways. Sometimes brands are helpful in that some are well known & have a good reputation as far as quality, reliability & customer service which is what I care about; cachet doesn’t concern me. Thanks again & keep up the great work HOBO!😉
I _just_ replaced my Jackery/Honda 290 with a 500. I totally would have waited for this had I known. People should know that the little oval buttons will eventually break on these units if you’re in the habit of pressing buttons too hard.
oh damn, really??? i legit almost pulled the trigger on the 500, but ill hold off til they add features like they did on the 300...... the 500 shouldve had quickcharge and PD type c from the get-go. oh, and 2 ac outlets too.
@@drybonez2087 im glad you mentioned that. I really want a 500 too.
First one of your videos I've watched. Great review. You are focused, clear and concise. I know nothing about power stations and I followed everything you said. Thank you.
Tom you are living proof that hard work and perseverance pays off. You really got me wanting to get one of these.
Excellent video Hobotech !
I love my Toyota and I love my Jackery !!
You do get what you pay for.
Just got my 300 amazing product ! I did use my CPAP down to zero through the dc port. We have random power blackout I'm CA so I am much better shape if we have another. Great for future camping road trips! I did trip out when display started to blinking ? It was just like an alert unit was down to ten percent! Thanks for all your great info. Happy trails
I just checked that the Jackery 300 will drive my rice cooker. Great for heating any food. I live in an apartment in SoCal. If a bad earthquake hits, we could lose gas and power. Thanks for the review. I almost bought the 240.
Look at jackery, walking into the future. Good for them! I'm glad they've stepped up.
By the time I'm in the market for another PPS.... Hopefully most PPSs will be great!
Ordered mine today before I watched your review. Glad I ordered it! Happy with your review. i feel better now lol.
As info for those looking in 2023, the updated model (Explorer 300) has USB C charging that you can use with the other methods to charge all at the same time. I charged one from 47% in less than an hour using the USB C plugged into an Anker 747 plug adapter and the wall charger that is included last night.
Picked one up today 313.26 after tax and your discount. I used amazon for the 5% back on the credit card. I have the Bluetti eb150 and now this, so I have portable and super portable to take to my property for a day trip or the long weekends. I am good for a while now as my 5 yr old 8 ea 6 volt lead acid battery bank is quickly heading toward its twilight. Excellent review dude.
Just got the Westinghouse igen 300 with the exact features and a light with SOS and 600 watt peak for $249. Got their 60 watt trifold solar panel with a box on back with USBs to charge directly from the panel for $163. Westinghouse is over 130 years old. They're not going to make bad stuff. No complaints so far.
I love how thorough you are! Super helpful in the decision making process.
Thanks Professor now I'm into Jackery for 1900.00. The 300, 1000 and panels. Returning Beaudens 166. Like it but zero support.
Beaudens was crushed by the Covy. I have the 380 sitting in wait for months until they can ramp up production again.
Nice testing. This Jackery 300 looks really good. I like that it's very small and has decent specs in every area. Mppt and pure sign is amazing and oozes quality design to me. I work with some electronics technicians and a good cheap yet effective AC load test is a light bar with some sockets on it. Just add what ever amount of bulbs and get the various loads you want. It's hard to get incandescent bulbs since they are phased out but you can still get 60w stove bulbs that work well!
Went on last night at 9 O'clock both Amazon & Jackery sold out, How many did they make, 2?
🤣
😆😄😂🤜🏽🤛🏽
Close... they told me 7 lollollol 🤣
I actually ended up buying the Energizer, UL listed, lithium phosphate, and quite a bit smaller
😭
its sold out already on both jackery and amazon. That was fast. hobotech, your too good. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for all your videos and solar expertise. That Jackary is awesome. Glad you got a house. Beautiful view. Nice area to.
I watched one of your videos from when you were in L.A. Very awesome story and glad that you are doing what you enjoy. Thanks againg for the information and educating us
on new products. Keep up the good work. Odin, Thor, Heidi, and you "Professor Hobotech" I look forward to many new adventures from you. Thank you.
The problem with jackery is they do not respond to phone calls or email. At least from me. I bought a 500 watt through Amazon. Before I bought it I had questions that weren't answered on the website. For a few weeks before I bought my unit I called jackery at least 30 times. I emailed them four or five times. I left multiple messages and not one time did I ever get a response. I finally contacted Amazon and they contacted jackery and after 2 days I got a basic letter. I kept over and over and over trying to get my questions answered. All they would really do is send standard form letters and no real responses. I told them I had called and left messages and finally got super short answers to my questions. They could have just called me or answered the phone and it would have took 3 to 5 minutes and it would have been over instead of a two or three-week headache from a company who in my opinion doesn't give a damn about customers. On one of the letters the person mistakenly sent me a copy of all other letters they had sent to other people about me trying to get questions answered and they were putting me down for asking, they were calling me a stupid American for asking and so on. I complained about this and they sent me some small $30 power bank to try and make up for their bad business tactics and shity way of treating customers. I did end up buying the 500 watt through Amazon. Hoping if there was a problem at least I would have some type of recourse. And as I Feared Two-plus Weeks Later the wall charging unit stopped working. I called jackery and left messages and got no response I send emails and got no response. I went through Amazon and got no response so I reply to one of the old emails that I had got and got basically got an empty response form letter. So I told them how shity their customer service was and told them if they're going to run a business they really need to answer the goddamn phone and answer the emails or take both of them off their website and stop lying to people telling people to contact them that way when they don't respond. After a few weeks I finally got my replacement part. Don't get me wrong I really like my power bank. I think it's a good product itself but their customer service and the way they treat their customers is absolute shit. At least for me. There was no reason for all of that to go that way for me. They tell you to leave a message and someone will contact you and they don't. They tell you to send the emails on that phone call and someone will respond to the email and they don't respond. If you buy a jackery power bank go through Amazon.
You can buy the Harbor Freight solar panel. It was tested with the Jackery and it came performing better for just $129.00
Bought mine it's been great with the wall adapter powers my gaming laptop for like 6 hours wich is a power pig. Hircutting clippers, Lights, other power banks. Now waiting on my 60w panel
Glad they finally caught up and maybe surpassed the competition but I got tired of waiting on the 300 and bought the Ravpower last week. The Energizer 240 also has my interest if it ever comes back in stock. Like the new lab, I hope the new paint smell goes away soon. Also I'm waiting on your Bluetti AC100 review even though I just bought one.
Got mine ordered. Just went through a hurricane in Louisiana. Needed it!! Got it!! Done!!
Nice review! Detailed as usual. Thought I'd buy it. Then found that by early evening on the first day it's sold out? Come on Jackery! If you're going to introduce a new model have at least one day's supply on hand. Smells too much like bait and switch to me. After 8 years in the business they have a pretty good idea of how many units they need in stock to meet demand. A sell out in 12 hours had to be part of the plan. I'll now look to other manufactures to meet my needs.
Ooohh salty!!
Agree about the mc4 adapter. I found 4 of them
Hobo,
Relatively new to your channel and love the content. I did purchase the new E300 and 100W solar panel so thanks so much for the code...I look forward to using this unit on a upcoming road trip. I may also get the 500 with the link from your Blog for my sisters husband who would use it to run his C-Pap machine during power outages (they live in tornado country). Anyhow, thx again...
The look on your face as you go to use the degenerator is priceless.
Hey Tom, love the new studio view !!! I have installed Anderson connectors on my portable solar panels, not a a fan of mc4 connectors.
Great review I enjoyed watching and learning about the products I have ordered the jackery 300 😎 thanks good job
Thank you. I have two Jackerys and going to buy this 300 next to replace a GoalZero 400 that is dying -- thanks to your reviews.
Good review, but on camera it's easier to see the Jackery display without the backlight on.....
It's hard to tell in the camera which is better.
My gosh you test the crap out of solar generators. These Jackery's are really nice units. Good to know that it will shut down before it's damaged. Thank you Sir.
Thank you. Got mine ordered. Just went through a hurricane in Louisiana. Needed it!! Got it! Done!
Thankyou Hobotech and thankyou "jackery " ,waiting to hear i was selected for one of the best solar products on the market.
Ben
Thanks for the review. I recently have been interested in battery power versus gas power generators and your videos have helped a lot.
Thanks I just bought the 300 and the jackery solar panel.. we’re going to use this for camping in our van.
I just bought a 2.5kw solar array system for cheap. I may try looking into one of these small units so I can use when I am on the gun range on my property. I like the weight and capacity of this small unit.
I'm going to wait for the Bluetti Ac50s.
Lucky for me, i got it on sale at Harbor Freight before I sae this. It works great for my needs.
Nice Job, I have the 240 and really love it, looking for a portable solar for it next, wish Canadians got the US prices, lol !!! Beautiful background, Congrats to the both of you on your new property.
Oh grandmaster of all things HOBOTECH. Love the new digs and hope you are all settled in. Excellent review and this may hit my price point. Thanks
I wanted to let you know the Paxcess 120w solar panel also works great as not only a quality but cheaper alternative with more wattage than the Jackery panel. It also has an 8mm connector that plugs right into the Jackeries. It also folds up smaller than the Jackery panel.
Amazon's Paxcess offering lists the Jackery 240 and 500 as compatible, but not the 300, you sure it works with this new 300 model?
You can't have too many. I rotate them out. This might be cool since it charges fast.
A lot of portable solar panels have a DC out and have a myriad of adapters. I have a Beaudens 100w panel set and it has an adapter to that fits Jackery. Bear in mind that to run parallel with another panel, I have to use a DC to MC4 and then an MC4 to DC with the adapter back into the Jackery. A lot of jump starters come with the same adapters as do some universal laptop chargers.
Another great review! Thank you! As far as the light on the generator goes, I don’t mind so much. No, I don’t use it as a flashlight, lol, but can light up the immediate area at home or in the truck bed. Having any light is better than no light… as long as it doesn’t really take away from the generator with minimal use.
Just utbought one of these on Amazon Canada for camping and disaster prep, can't wait to try it o
Being able to charge the device fast is an important feature good that Jackery addressed this, agree it could use a light of some type for the price.
Jackery, supply the adapter, proprietary is annoying, leave the label, I dig it, power outdoors, got to go, a light please, this makes sense on this model. Love your quality, don’t compromise that, plus service, it’s excellent. If you make a larger one I will buy it. 1500 watts, 1500-2000 wh would be awesome
Very interesting 🤔
I really appreciate all your testing and detailed explanations
Pass through charging is important for me since I need to charge items to work during the day
Jackery lost me on proprietary, Thank you for the review
Got mine the other day and was testing with a TP-Solar 120W folding panel and a Dometic CFX3 75DZ. Charging and running was working ok, until I hit over temperature limits. Which is going to suck here in Phoenix. Nice clean sun, but over 104 even in the shade. Also on the TP-Solar 120W panel. I like the size of it, but I got max around 81 watts. Not very scientific testing at this point. Was just trying to do things easily. My home refrigerator had died when this covid stuff all started, so I've been working towards a backup, that is portable and usable for at home emergencies, camping, road trips, and sailing trips. That is without having to buy ice / every day. Longer cables should let me to position everything so the Jackery and Dometic are inside. Which will help with the heat for a little bit. Power doesn't go out very often here, but when it does it can get hot fast. I'll be looking for an extended temperature range power station. Enjoying the channel and reviews. Thanks.
They all shut down around 113F due to the battery. Your best is to keep it indoors and run solar cables outside. TP-Solar is not recommended on my site hobotech.tv/amazon as I heard they don't perform well. I never tested one.
U are the voice fir new pioneer& solar solutions!!!
The BALDR 330W, Rockpals 330W, Paxcess 330W, and Zoombros 330W are all the same solar generator. Lol. But I think it’s still the best option at this price point. Aukey has one that’s on indiegogo still that is in this same price point. Check it out.
None of them have regulated 12v.
HOBOTECH: I’m not even sure what regulated 12V output means. Can you help me understand?
@@aaronqueen55 Explained in the video it holds voltage steady no matter how discharged the battery is.
They should upgrade the 500 and make it with an extra AC output
@@lacha608 Jackery is running a sale on the old 500. I wrote them an email regarding an updated 500 but did not reply yet from 3 days ago..
Awesome review as always. Kind of disappointed that I won’t be able to charge this from my sungoldpower suitcase panel without building my own cord. Great info!
Watch my video on how to bypass their controller. It's not hard.
HOBOTECH hi there. I did but you had mentioned in this video that the end is proprietary. That’s what I found disappointing.
HOBOTECH I’d rather get this over the baldr 330. Is there a way to get a jackery plug to build my own cable? Or is that not possible currently
@@Nightfire_Gaming81 All you need is the MC4 to 8mm adapter in the description to use any 3rd party panel.
HOBOTECH awesome. Thank you so much. Been working all day so I guess I didn’t notice that. Being an essential employee takes it out of you.
Thanks for an excellent review, Purchased today along w/ the 100W solar panel from Jackery.
You are the way to go for info on all things hobotech!!!
Professor hoboTech, would you consider a non biased review on an Audew mp500 retail for around $300 to date. In comparison to the new jackery 300. The audew has a slightly bigger 500wh lipo4 battery. Audew can accept 100w 3rd party solar panel also they include a solar adapter to mc4 Connection. So many abbreviations I lost my mind just now. I love your reviews and honesty.

Great review! I sent in a review of 1000w to Amazon at the request of Jackery they sent me up 160w baby Jackery ! Whoo hoo! Love my Jackerys!!
I guess they don't realize offering free products in trade for Amazon reviews can get their seller account deleted. Good score for you though!
Regarding the pass through charging, of course it supports it, it's a Jackery. Do you have any testing done on their products in regards to any negative impact on doing this? From their Amazon FAQs as well as an email from their support, I received this: "The E300 supports pass-through charging, but we don't suggest to do that, because using the device in this mode will increase the internal temperatures and shorten battery life"
I'm doing a long term test on this theory. Bluetti said it doesn't hurt their batteries.
Thanks for all the reviews. Really helped me pull the trigger on this one over some other ones. I had a Rockpals that died after one trip and needed a solid replacement. Very detailed, specific, and honest pros and cons. Keep up the good work!
Can I use my Photography hand held light meter to determine how a solar panel will perform ? I live in in a very cloudy rainy part of the country and just wondering how good a solar panel might work in the winter.
What’s interesting is it says sold out on their website but it’s available on Amazon, there’s even link on the website... all this to make it impossible to use the coupon code, I find it hilarious 😂
Deal ended when it sold out.
HOBOTECH I just received mine today, and I ordered yesterday... weird sold out don’t you think? 😊🥵
@@RemoDaut They're returns/cancellations. Jackery told me they are all out until next week.
HOBOTECH I am sad. Can you ask them if they will extend the coupon again? Your video is only 4 days old.
Wow you just educated me in a great product and how solar works. Thank you professor 🤟🤟
Just bought the E300 from Amazon, then days later, found out that March 17, would be Jackery--new release--Day. Doh! I had already coupled it with the--$99, after 10% discount-- Togo® 60 watt foldable solar panel, which was correctly advertised as compatible. Luckily, this was a high-end product launch, with no surprises concerning my new, beloved 300, which has less power, but more features than the 500! "Even the losers, get lucky sometimes..." --Tom Petty
water at boiling point stores heat, as a battery, non-battery, then thermo-electric generator, peltier element, if you keep the water insulated, steam over-pressure can be valved out or stored in a air-bag, to be returned if the balloon acts as heat sink, can be heated with wood, solar, methane, or whatever you see suitable, you could try charging that with the thermo-couple element
What? No flashlight?!?!?
BTW, my Rockpals solar panels have always included an adapter for Jackery.
Ordered 100w rockpals w/ my new jackery
Some deal that was ! Today is Sept 2 and I went to order one and they are gone already . Not much of a promotion . You should of said one day sale or the first couple people gets 50 dollars off
I did warn everyone in the video. Jackery flopped every product launch in the past two years.
HOBOTECH they lost my business. I don’t go for those type shady business practices .
@@Camp_Runamuck I don't know how you associate shady with being ill prepared but alright. I did announce this launch a week ago and if you're a subscriber you would have been notified of this video and been able to get one.
HOBOTECH we all don’t just drop are lives to watch the latest hobo tech video . You would think if they offered a 50 dollar off it would last at least a few days or at least say if we sell out in a few hours we will give a rain check .
@@Camp_Runamuck Or you could have signed up on the Jackery website and got the release date with the same promo. They are called alerts. Maybe next time.
love our Jackery 300
In the UK it doesn't even exist. The E240 has just come on the market in the UK along with the 500 and 1000. So disappointed the 300 was not on offer to UK.
Great video Professor, thanks…I’m very interested in getting the 300 with the panels, but because I’m a complete idiot when it comes to electrical things and volts, watts and jiggawatts etc ….my use for this generally would be to run and/or charge my Lenovo laptop and iPhone. Will this be sufficient to do so? Thanks for your answer and I will continue to look for your videos.
This is the unit I've been waiting for: my crock pot requires 280 watts :)
HOBOTECH: Will the Jackery 1000 accept Harbor Freight 100 watt solar panels? Please respond!
Awesome man. Only problem is jackery seems like they only produce enough products for reviewers to show off. There last model was sold out for months (probably still is now)
Just ordered mine. Looks like they’re out of stock now. Thanks for the heads up.
Still available at the main link!
It really looks like they listened to you. Awesome
Great video. So I just got my Jackery 300 from Amazon delivered this past Saturday. It was packaged perfectly and I opened it up and noticed something, sounded like a block is rolling around inside. I tested the 12v plug. All the usb ports and the type c, then I plugged in my iPhone charger to both 110v plugs and nothing happens. In fact, about 8 seconds later the whole Jackery just shuts off. Lol. Kind of not impressed so far. Something rattling around inside, 110 plugs don’t work. Anyone else?
As of today, 9/23/2020, the Jackery 300 is currently unavailable...sucks! I have a 240 and it powers my Alpicool C20 refrigerator, Luminoodle lights and a personal fan on my overland camp trips.
Thanks for your discount code!! Can’t wait to take it camping!!
Man, wish this had LifePo4 batteries. I need one that can run my live streaming equipment in AZ and the Lithium-ion is a non-starter. I just bought the energizer 240 and it isn't really working, won't solar charge and the PD port doesn't work, exchanged it and have the same problem with the new one. Can you get the GoLabs 300W Lifepo4 power station and do a review? It seems to out feature this jackery for $200 bucks. Would love to see what it can actually do, like how fast it can charge and everything before I buy it.
