Can the Jackery Explorer 500 Recharge from the 100 watt Fold-able Panel? C Pap friendly? 

*Love how quite it is, New **Generater.Systems** maneuverable enough would be better with a little bigger wheel*

That intro was funny as hell.

From his grin. He did a lot of drinking and dancing.. He got Lucky that night.🤣

Bought the Jackery 240 on your recommendation and its been awesome for a whole year. We use it every day. We charge it while driving and once in a while charge it at Starbucks it Whole Foods while we work. Lasts a long time.

I literally guffawed! Wasn't expecting that to be a joke at all! Thanks for the excellent review on the Jackery. Pricey, but I'm saving my pennies.

I don't know about you guys, but I think Jamie is one smart guy!

We bought the jackery you did a video on last year (thanks for the discount) & love it. This year I plan to get the solar panels.

Thanks so much! I don't have a CPap machine either, but this vid was packed with excellent info, and answered most of my questions about purchasing the 500. Have a great day!

I'm happy with my Enkeeo pack and panel... THANKS SO MUCH, JAMIE! ~Mikio 💚

I purchased one of these a few months ago after watching a different review. I also bought the Solarsaga 60 panels. When I received the E500, it was at 30%, I set up the solar panels and waited 7 hrs for it to hit 100% (70% in 7 hrs is okay with me). I run my CPAP with the heater off, and I can use it 3 to 4 nights (5 hrs on average per night). So if I run it 1 or 2 nights, then set it out to solar recharge, I am in good shape. If I get in a bind, I can charge it through my truck (It has an invertor for 120volt), or I can charge it by cable that I made with Anderson connectors and hook it to my truck battery. When I am at home, I plug into my shore or house power. I have never drained the E500, but I imagine it will charge pretty fast through the AC of my house. I am very happy with this product.

I just love it when folks don't mind showing their bloopers lol! WOOHOO!

My CPAP has a regular 110 cord. Works on the solar and battery set up that you installed for me. Perfect.

Jackery might charge slower than some other units but the Jackery's main selling point is the regulated continuous power

The out takes were great! Thanks for including them.

the outro was perfect! haha I do the exact same! Cheers and solid video! Just picked up a jackery power bank for my motovan build and was considering the solar panel attachments for longer trips! I enjoyed the outro and gave me a little laugh cuz I know that feeling all too well as Im sure I have some footage of me doing the same for some videos.

Great review thank you for your hard work .

HOLA MIJO J GRACIAS ! THIS IS REALLY GONNA HELP " the old man"... Safe travels onward bound!

Did you hear the one about the man who opened a dry-cleaning business next door to the convent? He knocked on the door and asked the Mother Superior if she had any dirty habits.

I bought my jackery 240 with the 100watt solar panel the other year,got a jackery 500 a few days ago,I love them they are so handy for power

Thanks alot man! I've been looking at this model for over a week now and the solar panels. You did a good video!

Really helpful. I was looking to power fans -- thanks for that mention.

I have used this with my “ice chest” fridge. It will run it, set to zero degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-13 hours. I am glad I picked one of these up, as in the daytime, I have a campsite generator running to recharge it. Am very happy with the model.

Loved the beginning......sounds like a story my dad would have told.

Love that you include some edited shots at the end... keeping it real!

*very informative i have seen other videos on this product i'd like to have one but can't afford it right now but i am keeping it in mind*

Thank you for the review Jamie... I’m in the market... and i’ve been wondering about Jackery💜good review

I saw guys running pellet grills using that with no issues for many cooks I cant wait to get mine to try it out camping with the smoker yumm

Great review, keep them coming.

Your delivery on that was perfect!

Just got my Jackery. My CPAP went 3 nights without needing a charge. I have their 100 watt solar panel too and it was charging at 67watts.

Love your bloopers thank you for the video💕

Thanks Jamie. Good info. Fair Winds and Smiles

Did you have a good time at the party ???? lol. Good info on the solar for the ones of us that know zilch about solar,but are curious.

I just bought the new Jackery 500 Explorer v2. Immediately did a capacity test to make sure I got a good one with a 150A test device. 540Watt hours. MORE than advertised. No complaints.

😂😂💃💃jamie is worth it from UK.briliant explanation for me being a green horn dummy.😂

I love my jackery’s,got the 240 and the 500 and the 100 watt panel and I’ve just got a 200 watt panel,brilliant gear

Great info. I use a CPAP that ramps up to 15 once I enter REM. Does the batteries in this machine loose some its capability in the cold.

I love mine. It is lightweight and can power up higher wattage than the goal zero

very good demonstration! thanks!

This guy is funny lol I subscribed immediately 😂

😅😅 I'm using that joke tonight when my wife gets home. I've been away camping for 4 days. She'll appreciate it when she finally gets it 🙈🤣🤣

Thanks Jamie for the info 😉🙏✌💞🐶💞👍👌😊

Yooooo J. Nice vid my brotha. I enjoyed it. You basically described me in the 3-4 day weekend getaways. And I do agree that it would be nice to have a 110 plug in for something. But honestly, all I use is a battery powered radio, my cellphone, and a battery fan. But having the large Jackery I can expand to plug in device if needed. Also, I think people need to understand that the PRIME way to get max use out of the Jack is to fully charge it with 110 at home prior to going on your trip and using even an 80 watt solar panel as a way to keep it “topped off”. Oh shit bro, just watched the end of your vid and noticed that you said basically what I did. My bad bro. 👍🏾

Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!

I finally found someone who would send a jackery 500 to Hawaii... extra shipping but welll worth it in my opinion. Can't wait to check it out. An just got a solar panel aswell.

You're certainly fun to watch. Jokes are appreciated and you did a great job with your review.🤣

I have one coming from Amazon in about two days, no solar panel yet. The intro was hilarious, i didn't see that coming!

Thanks for the review, you sure made a few questions crystal clear! I'll be getting one for a backup system and the pure sine is the best choice so far. Glad to see someone put it through the Pace's and see how long it takes to get a full charge, granted if you were there to nurse it I'm sure it would have been substantially higher but all in all. I'd say it's worth having one. Thanks! As usual a real video!

Explorer500. One of the best things I could have. Solar saga 100. Works great. 2 years and counting. Only wish I had a 2000.

I have used my 500 for a year every single day for a year and love it. I can’t depend on the Jackery panel every day because when it’s cloudy enough it gives me almost no charge at all. Sunny days it does good. I charge it in the house when I have to. Jackery says don’t let the battery get down to 20 percent charge

Great job,you rock,thank you,hugs from MN

Works well and quieter than most generators I've used dented during shipping

Your intro is one of the best jokes I have ever heard RU-vid! I could NOT stop Laughing!

I'm totally new to this.. I'm tryng to figure out how you could get a faster charge? Is it possible to hook up TWO of those solar panels?

I was curious about the Jackery. I've already seen one review. I was wondering which is better, the 500 or 1,000? My refrigerator is a domedic.

Ok, LOLed at the intro to this video. Good review. Good info.

Thanks for posting this video. I am prepping for a power outage and am wondering if you can tell me if the Jackery can keep a laptop that uses a 4-cell Lithium Polymer battery and a hotspot for internet connectivity for about 9 hours? Do you know?

To me the best set up is a 2nd alternator and solar....the best of both worlds. Get 2 or 4 lithium ion batteries...and you can run pretty much anything. But this is a great in between solution. Thanks again sir.

LMAO. I spit my beer out. Had to sub and like.

Thanks for super helpful video. I’m trying to calculate the fan hours. At full power, 12V x 2.4A = 29W. 500WHr / 29W = 17Hr. At the lower 0.3A setting, I think it works out to 139Hr. Did I make a mistake? Because it sounds pretty reasonable. With the solar panel attached at the same time, it would be even much longer, which might work out pretty good.

Best intro ever! Lol. Subbed.

Awesome review. I’m going to sub. But I wanted to just update those who might not know. The Jackery 500 in this video is not the latest generation. You can tell by the logo at the top right it is the unit. The newer version of the Jackery 500 features an MPPT charge controller and not the cheaper and less efficient PWM controller. Which means the MPPT version charges about 30-60% more efficiently on the same solar panel compared to the older model. I’m sure my comment could have been worded better, Im no expert lol.

Jackery should make a tracker turntable to set the panels on.

What happens after the recommended number of recharges has been reached? Does it stop working and you’d have to buy another one? And can you attach a couple of solar panels to it? Does the panel have an USB port on it?

Think it would power a heating blanket or heating pad? Thinking to use one or both of those for heat at night sleeping.

Good info. Just starting out and been going back and forth on solar and inverters, isolaters, batteries... Do want a little power for a small fridge. Already gave up my idea for cooking without propane :( I am planning on leaving for about 2 months. I have a 1500 hightop Promaster and am wondering how to make the solar panel work while driving. Is this panel something I can rig onto the top of my van and snake the connecting wire to the Jackery through my window? Sorry I am really not familiar with all the electrical aspects of vanlife. Thanks for any input!

I’ll do ANYTHING TO BE SURE TO HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE CPAP. With your solar panel, make sure your shadow is behind your panel then be sure itha shadow is as large as possible. Then you will get the most energy.

do you think that the jackery 1000 would be able to run a medium size (35 can) cooler and a fan partime

I have 2 100 watt Renogy panels, MPPT controller. What batteries and how many do I need to run a Maxx fan and a truck frig, in my small van?

I live in the UK at about 53.5 degrees north. Problem is we don't get the sun to recharge a battery most of the year. For people in Arizona and similar great. But not really for us.

You are the only one that gave details that really helped. Thank you. I’m so clueless on this stuff. I can’t afford the Jackery 500 but hope the smaller one will be sufficient. (Loved the humor)...

You can use it while it charges? Can this handle a Renogy 300 watt 24v panel RNG300?

Might even get lucky. Just going to be you and me. I needed a laugh after this last year.

good video informative and amusing thanks

I have a Jackery 440 and used my CPAP WITHOUT the humidifier for 7 days WITHOUT having to recharge. It still had more charge, but I was impressed. The 500 will last longer!

12:00 "Pull less than 10 watts and the Jackery will shut down after 6 hours" ... thanks, nobody else mentioned that. I don't even see it on their website !

Can this give power to microwave oven for like 10 min?

Hey Jamie. I’m having a little party at my rig tonight...

One thing I noticed about the Jackery is that the input wattage is not always accurate unfortunately. Mine was doing the same thing yours was doing but worse (it was stuck at 0 watts input after any kind of shadow got casted on it). I am doing an RMA and they honored their warranty. Still a great product though... also mine had an issue where the battery was stuck at 100% and required a hard reset to show accurate battery percentage

HILARIOUS opening😀😀😀

That is the older version of the Jackery 500, the new one has MPPT charging so that weird issue with the solar input wattage getting stuck in the 40’s isn’t an issue on the new ones.

I want one of these, how much does it cost, in Sweden they don't sell these or have I missed them at the store?

Can Goal Zero 100 watt suitcases work with this? - Also, can I trickle charge this unit? Can I just plug it into the wall and leave it? Or will that over charge the battery?

Another informative video Jamie. You're turning in to the Ron Popeil of Nomadic gear and accessories. Lol

What if you just put it flat on top of the bus?

Tell us the stat.s for the Van Party. Did u get everybodys project done? How many peepl paid the fee? Fewer than last yeqr show up? Was there money left?

You the man cool guy 👍thx n cheers

Thanks for info!

My CPAP draws about 200wh/night. That is without humidifier so it has less draw. Also I don’t have to lug the humidifier around (it pulls apart for travel). Some can’t go without humidifier. I have just purchased a DC power cord that works off cigarette lighter. I hope to make it last longer since I won’t have to pay for the inverter losses. Good video.

Will the Jackery Explorer 500 be able to recharge EBike batteries? The battery is a Lithium Ion 48v 10.4ah by LG.

Hi and thank you for your video, on the jackery 500 can that be charged in my home 120v ac ? And does it come with the charging cable for that?

Amazon will not honor your code for the discount. Any suggestions??

That intro was the best!!! 😂🤣

I have a smaller version of this thing (Jackery/Honda 290). The rubber feet are really good. I forgot to stow mine and left it on the counter when I drove away, and it didn’t slide off and smash itself or anything. I wouldn’t count on that, but not wanting to slide around is a good feature that people should look for.

Hey thanks for the video. I see you have your Macbook Pro 15" just like mine. I only need this system for long road trips where if I am editing in Final Cut Pro, it kills my battery and I normally can't get more than 1.5 hours on a full charge. Would this work and keep my Macbook charged up for at least 3-4 hours? Would it be enough to power the 85Watt laptop while using it or would I have to run on the battery alone, drain it then connect it to get back to 100%?

I’m trying to size a solar setup but I’m lost. Mostly I’ll need to run a Linsion 54 Quart RV Refrigerator/Freezer, a Maxx fan and a cpl small electronics. Any ideas on how much solar Id need? This is starting to stress my brain 😂😂😂 I’d appreciate any help so much 🙂

my cpap runs on a 5amp 12 volt supply with no heat.

I can't believe you told that story

Hahahaha the intro just made my day mate 😂😂😂😂✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How was the shin dig?
