Jackery hits Australia - Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro 15% discount code-31 Oct 

cheers Brian. That 0% thing has me worried there for a bit. I thought, well this is gonna be a short review.

Hey Col, thats kinda how long is a piece of string questions. Not having much experience with them, Ive heard some van ac units are as low power as about 500W and soft start. so something like this would work but only for a short period based on the battery alone. to run for longer than that it would depend on having more solar coming in then what your ac is pulling. Not sure on the unit you're wanting to run but it would be a fair bit of solar I'm guessing. I would definitely be looking at the bigger unit if you have the means. You'll get the bigger inverter , more capacity and a higher allowance for solar to keep up.Ac units can be very power hungry. Of course you're going to have to pay for it too.

Thanks for your reply. This question came to mind while watching the video and thought that this could be something that could make camping off grid a bit more glampable (sic) I take the point that A/C's are power-hungry suckers but my thoughts were for those that use generators with smelly exhaust fumes and having an extra fuel source, that this might be an option. Might simply also mean that the tech isn't at that point yet. Cheers.

Cheers Robbie

You can use other branded blankets etc but you just need the right jackery plug for it to fit. Most other brands take the 7919 plug but the jackery takes a 8020. But they include an adaptor for that. So if you panels got the other brand solar generators and you have the adaptor, you're good to go.

Thanks you just gave me an idea😁

@@DENMONKEY At home I mostly use Grid Connect (Bunnings) and Google Home for automation and thought about a camping setup, though would only work with 'net access. Though an Arduino with an offline voice command module would be hilarious!

Hey nige, I think you're right. I also think some transport companies insist on batteries being transported to be discharged. Would be a good idea to mention it in the manual though. All is well that ends well

Great to see your little mate is still going strong, albeit a bit greyer.

Ooh I wouldn't say strong but he's still going the little trooper. He's 16 now. But like the rest of us a little bit fatter and a little bit slower , plus a little bit blind and a whole lot deaf. He still thinks he's a puppy sometimes but mostly just an old man 😁

Hi Jackery marketing response. It sounds like you are saying the competition is not as good as you. Look at the facts , then respond. All I was doing was offering an alternative. Looks like you are scared of the competition already established in Australia.@@JackeryAU2012

cheers Pauly. Are you is Oz mate ? Yeah I dont think I'll ever get the max life out of any of my units. I charge them to full and run them down to zero. Ive done that with my old AGM batteries too and still got 7 years out of them. With the way these things are being pumped out, they'll be redundant inside of 2 years because all new ones will be out by then to tempt us. We live in exciting times with all this tech coming out but it's an expensive option trying to keep up with all the goodies :) Out of curiosity what are you planning on using it for? Ive been running this one in the back of the commodore running the fridge. its been handling it well but shut up in the car , the temps are getting over 40c and the safety features are cutting in. I do love australia but the heat here and be a real PIA when it comes to in car tech. I'd kill for a decent windscreen phone holder that doesn't end up on the floor after a few hot days.

I agree about the Bluetti AC 180, much better value at around $1299 and they are often reduced by $100-200. I have the Bluetti EB70 and it's not far off the specs on the Jackery 1000 and is reduced to $799.

I hope you spotted this video. I made it just for you :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H3yEOHQaJpQ.html
