Charging my Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus with my Engel Gen Set- How long? 

Mate that Gen purred away smoothly. Cheers for the videos of these.

What I find crazy is how much power us as individual humans use daily. It’s very cool when you break it down and learn about your own usage and what it takes to put that power back. Great video buck !

YES the Engel generator’s back!! That thing has had more TV airtime than Neighbors & Home & Away combined, haha 👍

It's good to know that the Engle generator works in conjunction with the Jackery. Instead of just putting max output into the Jackery it automatically reduces it's power output. Great vid, keep 'em coming.

Thanks for sharing Buck it’s good to know what we can do in a prolonged power outage to help keep the lights on and the fridge working.👍

5hrs running all that stuff that’s deadly lad not bad thanks for the info 👍🏾

Great clip buck some great info thanks for sharing 👍

Buck I live near Lismore this set up would have perfect after the floods in 2022 thanks for the idea

I had an idea for another video. If you would kindly give a tour of all of the wooden military plaques on the walls of your shed, and the stories behind all of them. Thanks. Great vid, keep 'em coming.

Hi Buck Great Clip Buck. Explaining it in layman terms how it all works. Considering putting a solar generation in the vehicle in lieu of installing battery dc2dc charger & inverter.

Thanks Buck an excellent informative video 👍👍

I have similar set up - your freezers might surprise you as they don’t cycle much and relatively energy efficient. It will save you $$$ from not chucking spoiled food. Most recent test used 44% in 10 hours or so for fridge and a few small bits and bobs.

Good clip Buck, 5hrs is pretty good powering the whole house

Buck thats awesome! 🙂 Really looking forward to this series. I have plans for a generator switch at my place too but are also thinking of building a powerstation like the jackery as Plan B during an outage using a couple of 300ah lifepo4 batteries to get me through. Im thinking of recharging them using my house solar panels if possible, just got to sus out how to do this or even if this is possible. My current plan B is to use my camper trailer set up which I can already run 2 x 50l 12v fridge/freezers for around 6 days without recharge and have a total of 760w of portable solar panels to recharge my 200ah lifepo4 camper battery and my 135ah battery box AGM.

Very informative Buck, thanks. Stu

Great video Buck, did you do a video on the Genie switch on the mains board and how much did that cost to have done.

Good clip buddy

Be good to do the same test in summer to see how long winter and summer runs.

If it just does one fridge and a couple of lights it would get you out of Shitsville, thanks for the vid :)

I kind of can't recall or forget how did you hook it into the house? Some sort of grid isolation switch and a female input plug at the meter box?

From my point of view, five hours is good particularly if it only takes an hour and a half to recharge the battery. You could do it that way for days. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts with less being run off of it. If you were to try and charge it with solar here in the U.K. you would die of old age🤣🤣

That’s exactly what I did to the caravan I ran the lot

Could you run a fridge intermittently? And still keep the goods inside at an acceptable temperature.

Lovely Ep and set up, I see when you started the 2500 genny it blew some blue smoke. is your oil level over full Maybe.

On sale now 40% off. Is it worth dropping $14k+ ($10k after rebates) for a 24kwh Jackery 2000+ setup?

Can you plug an external battery into the power pack ? I’m just thinking if I had a lead acid or lithium battery could I extend the range ? Could you plug your camper trailer into it to provide power back to the jackery ? 👍👍👁️👁️😎😇❤️🙏

I haven’t really gotten over losing Roxy 🐕‍🦺just yet 😢but the bride has just brought home a puppy,a 8 week old blue heeler male named Charlie.
