On the chart at the end I should've added a row for the "input location". I will add it here. 1000 (V2): SIDE Old 1000: FRONT 1000 Plus: REAR 1000 Pro: REAR
Thks for the video including that 18% graphic being way off! FYI, I don't think there is usb-c in, i.e., bi-directional. The manual and other places don't mention it. (I've seen other errors in places though too.)
I am embarrassed to confess that I’m in my 40s and never got a driver’s license, but I am mentioning this because of that fun aspect of hunting for those appliances that micro inverters could handle, specifically those that use the car lighter port, something I have yet to use on any of my small stations, but I discovered a lot of kettles that draw under 100w, lunchboxes that can heat even cook and it kind of opens a world of options, even if someone just had the Juice Go for example!
I think you and me are in the minority... most people just want the biggest inverter they can get. And I do see the appeal of having atleast 1 power station than can power big loads.. but for off-grid / solar power, it just makes more sense to go the efficient route! 😎 And I wish Jackery would include additional 12v ports - like the old 500 model. Atleast the car socket is there, for the 12v appliances you mentioned.
Excellent video showing the differences in these similar, but different Jackery 1000 ish units. Question: I have the old Jackery 1000 explorer and Jackery states (at least in one place), "The maximum input wattage of Explorer 1000 is 126W(12~30V,7.5~8.33A )". I've also found different and conflicting info on their sites and others. FYI, when I charged mine using 2, 100 watt solar saga panels it did not exceed 125 watts in our good Las Vegas sunshine. Maybe the higher input wattage is meant for AC charging, but don't know. Can you clarify please. Thank you.
200w is hypothetical. Since the input is limited to ~8A, you will never get close to 200w with standard 18v solar panels. You also mention Las Vegas - and I'm guessing it's quite hot there.. well heat lowers the voltage of solar panels, so the actual voltage going into the Jackery is probably around 16v (16v @ 8A is 128w). If you can find some higher voltage panels (VOC must be below 32v) you should be able to increase the input. And try charging in the morning sun when temperatures are cooler. Also reducing the distance between the solar panels and the Jackery or using heavy gauge cables can also help (slightly) as well.
Yea, that 1000 Plus model should have been called 1200 Plus or 1300 Plus as you stated. They had a reasonable naming convention going: original names; Pros (new design and later models with app ability); then Plus (changed to LFP batteries and app use except 100 plus). Now this v2 stuff! I've see a 240 v2 now as well (just slightly smaller battery then 300 Plus but in the same form factor). Oh well, they didn't ask me for my opinion... 🙃
That new 240 v2 confuses me the most - nearly identical to the 300 Plus... maybe it spells the end for it? The original "300" was one of their best products and still is in many ways better than the 300 Plus, so perhaps they will just keep the old 300 around?
I think the 300 Plus is staying. It is available in Japan too. In Canada for some reason at Best Buy it is called the 280 Plus. But, you could be right too. They only had the 700 Plus for a short time. The 1000 Pro is only available in certain places but not Jackery's website. They "disappeared" that model but the other Pro ones are advertised. I've only been following Jackery for the past year or so. My impression is there were multiple similar models in the 200-350 range and around the 500 range. I didn't understand the past history, but it seemed like too many similar ones to me. I guess they are going back to that way with their models. :-(

This is the most helpful video ive watched in the last 24 hours.
These small power stations are nice to have, but i prefer to build my own from scratch in an ammo can or battery box or so. Nice video tho.

Cool when I saw the ad pop up I assumed it was lazy advertising and that it was just an add for the first release of it, but I guess it’s an update !

@@SoGenFan thank you for your quick response.

Maybe there will be a “salty” sodium ion Jackery in the future….
