    Our tiny house will be parked for the next few months in central OR, and we're looking forward to adventuring with our Honda Element car camper. So it’s an ideal time to try out the new versatile Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station and the SolarSaga 100W Solar Panel.

Even the manuals don't show you how to turn the buttons on, I assume they think everyone is an expert...also, thanks for being hands on....

    Very nice however I am staying with Goal Zero. I have a goal zero 1400 and I can completely recharge it in 3 hours using their 25 amp fast charger and my Honda EU2200I. Jack biggest disadvantage is it’s recharge time and because of that it’s only good for weekends camping trips, the ones you check in around 3pm Friday and out by 1pm Sunday. I strongly encourage anyone who is considering buying lithium battery packs or AGM battery packs to consider the recharge time. Again the recharge time is very important.

    • @gerald4nomads
      @gerald4nomads 4 года назад

      aterseraph no I use one 25 amp fast chargers 🔌 and yes and gas generator that can produce at least 1000 watts continuously can recharge a gold zero from 0% to 100% in three hours. The best way to get the best usage out of lithium batteries is to slowly discharge them and don’t discharge them below 40%. I use my goal zero 1400 to power my Engel 45 Refrigerator/ freezer and Never use it for anything that need more then 60 watts at one time and recharge at 50%.

    • @KillerRaptorr
      @KillerRaptorr 4 года назад +1

      @@gerald4nomads You can discharge the goal zero or any lithium to 0. No lithium device goes completely dead because of safety systems are in place to keep the voltage consistent at a %. Same deal as Lead acids are. So your reading on the device may say 0% but if you open the device and put a reader to the prong contacts. You'll see it has more juice still in it.
      Your phone, Laptop, etc all do same deal when discharging them. And it's apparently backwards. Lithiums have better faster discharge functions to them then most batteries. This lets them stay cooler under larger loads. And is the big reason why alot of demanding devices go lithium because of their more stable high discharging rates they can do.

    On 21st March, 2019 the video posted was about EcoFlow River 370. I have to buy one so, which would you suggest Ecoflow or Jackery 500? Since, I'm living in Asia continent so, I can't go to store or exchange it online easily so, I want to know which has very good after sales service? Also, among both which AC inverter has high efficiency? Because here our devices are designed according to 220v AC 50 Hz wall outlet. According to your personal experiences and not based on whatever company says, among both which one holds power for long after charging them and without using them? I'll be very thankful for your replies to all my queries.

      They make bolt-in strong boxes. They bolt through the upholstry directly to the frame and offer a heavy-duty padlockable container to your vehicle. Excellent for firearms or valuables, since the ONLY way someone is stealing them is if they steal the entire vehicle.

  • @WillN2Go1
    @WillN2Go1 3 года назад

    Watts 11 amps x voltage, so the 12v outlet 10amp is up to 120 watts, the USB 5.2 x 2.4 amps = 12.48 watts (about 1/10th the 12v) and the 110v outlet doesn't have an amperage raating but it does say 500 watts is 500/110 = 4.55 amps. As a 500 watt hour device this seems to mean the 110VAC outlet will last only 1 hour. In reality most of what you plug into it will be less. My 2017 15" MacBook Pro is right now connected to the Apple/Belkin 12v USB-C adapter. It's pulling 36 watts, and it's 'charging' but the charge level on the computer at 78% is staying right at 78% - so it's covering my usage but not 'charging UP.' (a few minutes later my MBP says 73%)
    What you an then do is this: my Jackery Explorer 500 w says 92%: so .92 x 500/36 = how long I can expect to do this. 12.8 hours. That's seems pretty good, but my MacBook Pro is supposed to last about 10 hours all by itself... but not with a second monitor, screen at full brightness, playing videos.
    What I want to find out next is how long does it take to recharge the Jackery 500 off of my vehicle? (I have a Tesla Model Y and a share in a 1999 GMC Van. Obviously the Tesla is it's own Jackery 72 kWh or 72000 Wh, or 144 Jackery's (If I bought the equivalent number of Jakery's it would cost me $61,200, with tax about the same as the Tesla - and I doubt I could move 144 Jackerys Zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds... )
    So if you have a Tesla, don't buy a Jackery - you don't need it....unless you plan on setting up a camp or work location away from the Tesla.
    I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to connect my Jackery to my MacBook Pro. The USB - no good. The 110V outlet and the charger? Better, but which is more efficient? I haven't found that information yet. Jackery should've figured this out for any number of devices and posted it on its website. I also was able to buy this unit for only $425, nice discount.... but I now expect Jackery to come out with a unit with USB C. (Belkin won't let me on their website unless I agree to their cookies. F that. ) When I bought this Belkin adapter at the Apple Store it was the highest wattage (amperage) car adapter I could find. Worked similarly in my Prius V.
    Hope this helps. Everything about something like the Jackery battery pack is technical, that's what all our questions come back to. Very few video makers take the time to learn the basics so they can make quantitative videos.

      one man army it all depends on How quickly you discharge Lithium batteries 🔋 and how far you discharge Lithium batteries down. I strongly encourage people not to discharge more than 60% and anything that needs more than 50 Watts of power at one time to use a gas generator such as a Honda eu1000i or a Honda eu2200i. A Honda generator along with the solar battery 🔋 inverter are a beautiful combination.

    Not practical due to how long it takes to charge

      Very practical and charges 2x as fast if you use a BESTEK 300w Pure Sine Inverter

      many people that live in their campers, live off of these no problem. 500w is allot of battery. Likely wont be using all of it in a day, so it wont need to charge that long.

    Useless for anyone trying to camp. Can I boil water? Can I cook food? Can I make coffee? Those are what people want to know. Not whether or not you like plastic.
