Does this mean Bob wills with family approve of Jackery?
2 suggestions: to your hours of operation chart, add a cpap machine and remove one of the heaters (they are a simple multiple), and for those who would be listening to your video, say whilst driving, less of the "this and this" and name the components...Otherwise, another excellent video sir!
@@ims3146 I agree. And if we find out over time that leakage is not a thing, maybe skip that? If it is, it's important to cover.
@13:13 that manual screenshot looks funny. for 12v 8amps max, double to 8amps max? should that be 16amps? (8+8 on two ports?) or is it actually limited to 8amps combined on both ports? can you test that?
@@ims3146 Better yet, add a BIPAP machine with a humidifier. There are many of us!
Bloody helll, I fell asleep and woke up in 2134 the year Jackery finally adopted LiFePO4 batteries.
Good to see AI Prof HoboTech still going strong.
Nope, you're just in an AI simulation. I should know. 😂
It makes me wonder if they’re just holding back technology and releasing it slowly over time.
It's amazing the rapidity with which these companies are leapfrogging each other with each successive offering. Wonderful to see!
This Jackery didnt leapfrog any other companys product with this.
Right. They caught up.
Jackery products are the easiest to use so this is welcome.
Yep..as soon as I buy one.. another model comes out..better and cheaper...😮😂
Why can't they make a right angle plug with a cable cable that's just the right right length with the option of a longer cable for those that need to separate the expansion battery from the main unit
Yes, competition is great.
Your channel is the first place I look when searching product reviews.
Big fan of Jackery!
Same😁
The absolute best thing the Hobo brings to the table is the secret laboratory crazy experiments. Hands waving-DOUBLE FISTED BATTERY CAPACITY TEST. Specifically, that music. I’d buy the 45’.
Seriously, great review as always. I feel like Jackery is being dragged into the future instead of leading the way.
I really appreciated the idle time power consumption and the math. Answered all my questions. Thanks Hobotech!
Hooray! Jackery finally caught up to EcoFlow and Bluetti. And those capacity scores are very impressive. Btw, thanks for reaching out to the community regarding tests we’d like to see (or not). Much appreciated 👍 Next up, ditch the Sorium Brandy and get yourself some Tranya. 🙃
Bluetti are cowboys when things go wrong, they’ll leave high and dry! Caveat emptor!
Tom, Thank you for your hard work and time you spend on these videos. Before I consider buying any solar panels or portable power stations I watch your videos. Keep up the great work.
That's a nice big unit, lots of power. Excellent review. Like how you go the extra mile testing. Explanations are great for anyone without a lot solar and unit knowledge, I'm sure that's appreciated by many ppl. 🙂👍
Outstanding tests !
Thank you for sharing all this info.
I love my Jackeries, and yes, I only use them as a home back up power.
They are great products.
It must be the end of the world as we know it, because Jackery finally came out with a product that i would buy! It also looks like the least inexpensive solution (even with no discounts) to back up that pesky well pump! Great review! And a big WELL done to Jackery!!
Thank you for the new test. Much appreciated
I’ll need to rewatch this, your putting out a lot of information.
Thank you for reviewing this so quickly
Thanks for the in depth review. Finally they take a step forward.
Great work yet again! I appreciate your time and hard work doing these tests. Nice product Jackery best one yet. I definitely want one to start DJing in more remote areas .... cheers Hobotech!
Can you do a video on the 240v connection? I would love to see that in action
Thanks for the review. Love the return of the “Hobo-Techno” echochamber!
Awesome video. I'm sold! I've been checking this this out for a while. Great channel! 👍
Thanks for measuring the idle consumption in a reasonable way. For even more accurate results, you should charge it from empty to full using the same DC charging method and compare the ratio between the two.
Cool Setup. Great Info
As unusually you do, did, this testing was flawless ! Keep up the good work for us less sciencee types. Godspeed.
Nice. Thank you for the sfx intro
I love your videos and glad you did one on this unit. 29 minutes and you talk about solar charging on the extra battery unit as well as the main unit at the same time. I was kind of concerned that if solar could only be charged through the main unit and you had five extra batteries that would take an extremely long time since you are so limited on solar input wattage if you wanted to use this in an off-grid situation. If I understand your experiment correctly, it sounds like as you add extra batteries you can also add extra solar because the extra battery units have solar charge controllers built into them. That makes the system a lot more practical for off-grid use. So glad you included that in your video. I have a Delta Pro system with 4 extra batteries and two main units that runs my house and has done so since January 31st of 2023. This Jackery system might be a contender!
Thanks for putting in the work to get us real-world capacity, specs and documenting the charging & multi-charging behavior with the auxiliary unit. In this case it's doing more than expected, which is great to know in advance. Hopefully they'll update the unit's firmware or the app to account for displaying overall % when aux units are added - or maybe an in-app toggle between displaying total or individual %.
You need to have a thorough wall access system installed to test all the devices and equipment you go through. Including 240 volt switches with a control type panel. I love spending other people’s money 💰 but you are the test master. I don’t know why you’re not at 500k
I appreciate the phantom load tests.
The idle load issue of these types of units really surprised me. I like the analysis
Thank you for another wonderful video.
I am looking into these battery, inverter, charger devices. It’s like a receiver instead of all separate components. Because it’s easily portable! Thank you for your review.
I appreciate the ghost load testing. Thanks, and sorry for making the videos longer.
Great review!
Mr. Hobi after living 4 days without electricy i can say that a 2,000 watt PLUS for even apartment living is essential!! This product maybe ordered VERY SOON! GOOD VID SIR
I'm glad Jackery finally came around to LiFePO4 battery. I have an older 1000W and really love it but would not purchase more because it takes so long to charge and my preference is the LiFePO4. Now that they've gone and done it, the last one in the line, I already own their competitions 3000W. Thanks for the great review. As far as your review process, I liked the previous style AND the new add-ons. Maybe to keep everyone happy vary your review styles? I'll watch either way. Thanks!
Which competitor did u buy
Thank You Segway. The first to ditch the ugly cable. 😊
It's about time jackery stepped up their performance and most importantly did something to out-perform Goal Zero. Aa a weekend warrior my number one preferred equipments are my Honda eu2200i and my ecoflow. Delta 2. I'm definitely going to buy the new jackery mainly because all the Outlets are in front of it
In the manual for my 2000 PRO it says plug the cables from solar into the unit before plugging in the panels. Now I know why 😉
Glad Jackery is finally using LiFePo4 batteries. I don’t mind the extra weight.
Like the new idle draw test. Keep up the good work, Prof Hobo. The idle draw on the AC200P is ridiculous that's why I never bought it.
I really appreciate your videos!! A lot of good info before buying. I’m on the fence….I think I’d like a 3000 for my RV!
Great job as usual! At 29:14 the expansion pack appears to throw an F7 code and I could find nothing in the user manual about that. Any idea?
Never seen a unit that had 12v output escape the Hobotech Finger BANG-BANG.
Good. I think getting zapped by that 8mm connector caused him to leave the sophomoric references for the other channels.
Because it has separate solar input, I actually like that it doesn't combine percentages.
Interesting offering from them.
Good stuff, thankyou. Haven't had much sustained success with those old cigarette lighter dc connections. They seem to become loose after a while and sometimes just fail and stop working. Strange that it's the only dc output option offered. Hopefully they add a second dc output option and, like you wished for, 90°space saving cord caps for linking the extra battery pack to the main unit in the near future. Good to see Jackery offering a product with this type of battery now.
Best testing on the internet
Jackery FINALLY released a solar generator that uses Life PO4 batteries! Its about F#%*ING time!
They finally checked a lot of boxes with this one, particularly the expandability and parallel unit option. Just a shame about the limited DC output and they hobbled the solar input with that 60V limit. It sounds like the two solar inputs are just another parallel splitter internally to allow for more power through those DC barrel plugs. Of course being Jackery it is on the expensive side, but actually with the introductory price it’s not far off the AC200max, which itself is getting long in the tooth and missing a couple of features.
Thank you for a thorough review. I would add that I do not think the parasitic draw test is as important as just checking that the unit does not automatically shut off with little to no load, which is particularly important for running fridges, etc. Most modern systems have a very similar parasitic draw and any excessive draw would probably be seen in the AC/DC capacity tests.
Awesome video
Do you need the expansion battery to get the 6000 watt xurge or does the station without the expansion battery allow for the 6000 surge? Great vid as always. Your hard work is definitely appreciated,.
Does Jackery only make the various forms of Free-Standing folding panels or did they finally make a Rooftop Panel?
just received my 2000+, I love it, but I was shocked to see the connector cord between the jackery 2000 and the battery pack sticks out 18" in the back! Jackery needs to come up with an adapter that enables it to plug sideways vs straight out so it can sit against a wall. And definitely remove the photos from the product page with it sitting flush against a wall.
Also I heard a couple people had issues connecting the two jackerys together for 240v, I wonder how many have tried that
Watching the fan test, doesn't jackery advertise 30db surprised it's closer to 50db at max
I need this
Even just right angle connectors on the expansion battery daisy chain would make a huge difference.
I do have a question, though: Does the charge controller built in support a "Dump load?"
As in, once my batteries are charged, can it shunt the power still being produced by whatever into, say, a water heater element?
To accommodate those cables, this could stack up nicely in the corner of a tiny home and you wouldn't expose the cables at all like if they came out the side, or inside an empty TV corner cabinet maybe...
Interested in follow up on improvements and follow to determine possibilities of purchasing
How does the unit discharge when the expansion is connected?
I have a question on the blue Eddie. I have a 2000 blue Eddie. Would it work on the new batteries that are coming out to hook into it?
FINALLY! TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH!
Hope the 1000 plus review is dropping soon!
Anyway to get a shorter battery expansion cable?
Have you checked out ecoflow power kits 5k or 10k systems ?
I'll keep asking this...please test when a radio is plugged into the unit's AC outlet, does the radio speaker make a loud buzzing sound when in UPS mode.
You can use any battery as an expansion battery, right?
Well it’s nice to see that they finally came to the game. As I won’t really touch nmc as for in house backup.
Now I think they missed a few things. Only 60v pv input on something that big, and still with the proprietary inputs!
Did I miss the pv max wattage and the ups test?
Yep, must have nodded off.
Wow, looks like a promising unit now that they are onboard with LiiFePO4. What was the Over/Under on the EPS mode? My friends were waiting to bet money on that.
What was the F7 code on the battery pack's display @29:15?
Very cool
how much does the battery expansion weigh?
I like the parasitic test. Very useful! Thanks for doing it.
Tom like you said, when are they going to do away with the big extension cables
Does it balance the charge between the jackery and its battery pack? Does it charge both equally?
What kind solar panel and power I need to buy to install on my RV roof to charge the JACKERY 3000 pro ? :)
Hi from Godley Texas
I would like some sort of 12V DC connections other then the round port and USB. The round ports are very selective and find my refrig comming lose.
Professor, are you ever going to do a Ecoflow Delta Mini review? its pretty popular offering from them.
Is the jackory better than the large echo flow?
Great review Prof. I like it except for that massive cable.
What were they thinking with that expansion cable
I wish more reviews covered the parasitic losses. ❤
Hi, really like your videos, they are super help full. Do you take questions for info on the products you test? Thanks in advance. Ed
You can ask questions at gohobo.io/facebook
its about time for lifepo4
I voted no on the extra work for the parasitic draw test, but the R&M drop in was worth it. More of those please.
How does it compare with Odin the Cat for power?
I’m always missing a good Dc output to connect a bigger DC load in a camper van .
Great and humorous reviews! Looking to buy a power station for use in our 5th wheel. Mainly to power the microwave and other kitchen appliances during travel breaks or overnights in rest areas or other boondocking locations. I'd like a comparison video or just a specific recommendation.
This will certainly do that. I'd suggest waiting for Monday night's Prime Day videos I'll be publishing and pick something in your budget. If your focus is kitchen appliances you'll want something with at least a 2000w inverter and 1000wh of battery. If you do a lot of cooking (like Instant Pots or slow cookers) 2000wh or more is better.
This is a good idea, I would need at least 10 kWh and 240 VAC @ 30 A min, this needs two main units to do 240, unclear on how to connect two parallel units for 240 VAC. Looking at the webpage, it looks like I would need to buy 2 x 6000's to get 12 kWh and 240 VAC in parallel...but how do you connect the parallel?.... Great job, thanks!
Using this and being in a house, I do not see how to hook up everything from different rooms. Should I buy less power for different rooms? Also, I will have to purchase appliances that pull less wattage. My new (2013) electric stove has a wire that resembles a python snake in width, and the plug is a large four-prong. I will be looking for other options which use less wattage after I pay for this incredible monster Jackery.
Missed opportunity to ditch the cables, create an integrated, vertical modular connection, and name it The Stackery.
I already have the older 1500 id love one of these newer modles but 2k is a ton of money to shell out
Looks like they had to pivot and play catch up. Jackery does make nice reliable stuff. Glad they updated. Wonder why they don't ditch that giant stiff connector cable and just put the input and output in the top/bottom so the expansion battery just clicks into the base.
Because that would require an engineer with a brain, and apparently they've lacked one (or at least one with clout) for a long, long time. Not even a newbie DIYing a power station out of plywood would make that mistake.
No use using logic with Jackery! That's not in their business model..
Yay jackery is finally reached the technology we have had for a decade now lolol. I always refused to buy anything jackery because they refused to use LiFePO cells. Maybe once they get put into their lower sizes I’ll actually buy one now haha
They need to put a plug on the top of the main unit and plug on the bottom of the battery so they plug together when you stack them
Any solar panel recommendations for this Jackery? Other then Jackery ones of course.
Hobotech.tv/amazon
I would like to know the best large home solar generator to buy to support our home. Thanks for all your videos!
Hobotech.tv
Any clue why there was an F7 error at 29:15 ? A quick google shows "F7 - The power supply module is abnormal".
Probably my power supply.
NICE
The “phantom”, parasitic, or resting power draw from unused “live” outputs is a critical factor in my purchase decision based on my intended usage.
This is extremely helpful when using the generator to power any device that only needs power occasionally but when it needs it, it needs it. For example, any cooling device in a well insulated space.
The parasitic test is also helpful for devices that use constant minimal draw. Eco mode won’t even acknowledge the device and the battery will turn off.
Batteries that have a parasitic draw >2%/hour die in 2 days without powering a device. Based on my intended use, this is a deal-breaker for me.
Alas, I may be spending up to $2.5k on a multi-use sogen for: music performance, camping, dirty home-power, and powering more than 1 high wattage device at a time in my kitchen. Oh, and powering essentials during an outage.
The Jackery looks beautiful but doesn’t make the cut.
Any chance of a review of the recently released EF Delta 2 Max?
Thanks for all your hard work.
dont forget, you can hook up solar panels to offset the parasitic draw while the inverter is on. Perhaps Jackery could implement an AC timer function, to say turn in the fridge every 2 hours or so for 20 mins. Also, a suggestion previously given to avoid draining the battery when using the built in inverter is to just buy a cheap smaller inverter and plug it onto the more efficient 12v cig lighter plug for say clock radios and such, ie or something AC which uses a smaller unit of power than the full rated Jackery 3,000 Watt Nuclear Power Plant inverter running full blast as bright as the Sun which Powers our Solar System for two days, to run more efficiently whatever is the 'dealbraker' is for you.
@@mikemotorbike4283
Actually, having an inverter toggle on and off every hour might be just the thing: lose 1/2 as much to parasitic draw yet the fridge would still operate sufficiently. This would be a great “smart” feature.
Improved customization with remote apps could help as the tech improves.
Adding additional links in the chain could increase loss when not in use.
Fortunately, there are units that lose 0.5%/hour or less - an acceptable drain for me.
Staying connected to solar panels for a trickle charge might work when camping but not when at home where best outdoor sun is too far from where I’d need the power. As it is, I’ll likely need long extension cords from solar to generator and from generator to power-consuming devices. Given a constant gage, additional power is lost as cords get longer.
Regarding the idle consumption for the AC inverter, I am really surprised that it uses 133 Wh in only 4 hours. I guess that means the average rate is about 33 watts. I would have expected it to be a lot less than that. I have one of the older Explorer 1000's, and it only seems to use about 3 watts or so while idle. Anyway thanks for doing the idle/phantom consumption testing for this new product. 😎
To get a more accurate idle watt consumption on your Jackery 1000, you'll need to perform a test similar to hobotech's. The power station's display doesn't tell the whole truth. That being said, smaller inverters are more efficient that larger ones. Therefore, if you only need to power a tv or modem, a smaller Jackery, Ecoflow or Bluetti would be a good choice. Large inverters are like V-8 engines and smaller ones are more like V-4's.
Also if you ask the crowd if they want you to do something, the answer will always be yes. That is because they don't have to do the work. I can't imagine this test result making a huge difference.
I lost my adapter for Jackery. It is the one that adaptes the large pole to a thin pole in the center. Where can I find one. I have looked on jackery website and your store.
They are on my site under solar adapters.
