We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
I mean it's LTT. A $60k server is not the most insane server they have done. Though for that matter this isn't the most insane battery they have unboxed either. That honor goes to the UPS in their server room, which is as big as a grown man. Or 1.5 Linuses.
@@BilldalSWE There are no lithium car batteries. Cars use lead acid, which is an inherently terrible battery technology for technological uses like this. There are some LiFePo4 batteries for RVs, but they range from 500-1000 USD. I'm not saying this is reasonably priced, but it's a far shot from a car battery.
@@hunterm9 They were almost certainly referring to the lithium batteries used to power electric cars, not the traditional battery in normal cars for starting the engine etc. As in a tear-down of a lower capacity version, that person found it to be very similar to those found in electric cars: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRhPooSPprY.html The price doesn't actually seem that bad though, and seems fairly similar to other brands. The 2000W pure sine wave convertor adds a not insignificant cost vs a bare battery.
@@hunterm9 While not common there are 12V LiFePo4 sold as starter batteries. Just google them. Higher power output, lower weight, keeps the charge longer when the car is in storae etc so they are gaining in popularity. Sure, they are much more common as battery banks in boats and RVs because of the price but my point is this is likely an of the shelf product packed in a case for a 100% price increase. Some people might still think it's worth it but it's hardly a revolutionary product like Linus seem to have been payed to say...
I bought that 1000W back in May for hurricane season here in Puerto Rico, back in September we lost our power and plugged the fridge for almost 8 hours and it worked perfectly. I'm using 3rd party solar panels with Anderson Cables and they work perfect.
@@Klapeful I use some third party panels that I bought on Amazon back in 2017 and with the anderson cables adapters I can plug in the Jackery to them and charge it if necessary. Maybe in a near future I'd buy the Jackery panels which are lighter and very portable.
Impressive energy density in that package. I've used SLA batteries about that size and you only get about 72Wh on them (and they're probably a lot heavier too). 1000Wh in that same package, with 2000W peak/1000W continuous current is INSANE (typically, the downside to using LiPo, or similar, batteries is that the current you can pull from them is substantially lower than less energy-dense alternatives).
I like it, I would love if it had a pass through feature as a battery backup so you can keep it plugged in as power conditioner and backup for your desktop during the week and take it with you on the weekend for camping or tailgating. Great product.
Well of course. You wouldn't want to disassemble your pc to plug in the required 12 volt headers would you? With the next gen of motherboards might actually get UPS that you plug directly into the case supplying all of the 12 volt you could wish for. Given laptops often are 18 or 24, they would not be compatible. Unless you have one of the babies with usb type c charging.
It's more useful for a UPS, where you usually have a data hookup between the battery and the desktop that lets it know if it's on battery or mains, and what the remaining runtime is. That way the computer can go into a power-saving mode to extend your runtime, and automatically hibernate when the battery gets low.
@@guspaz Yep! That's how my UPS works with my desktop. The UPS connects to my desktop via USB, and Windows sees it as a battery just like it would if I were running on a laptop. Furthermore I can get stats in HWiNFO64 like power draw, battery %, battery life remaining, etc.
@@dbsm666 Look at more traditional camping suppliers. This isn't a particularly novel item and someone must do ground shipping world wide due to the battery issues.
I was like "Why is he hyping this up so much?" Then..."This video is sponsored by..." oooooh, ok. Get it now. There are other power stations like this out there. Varying in cost and power output. Can't say this is anything new. They are usually pretty expensive by good in a pinch.
Will Prowse's channel is a good resource for large battery power system reviews. He reviewed this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wS5FgB-DD0w.html
Linus you have to check "WATTS Battery". It's modular and you can even stack them up. Imagine Tesla's Powerwall but portable!! Way more suitable for on-site shooting, or anything really. I've been using it mainly for camping so far but the use cases are infinite.
Honestly. Either the "Apple engineer" line is BS or the founder is an idiot because I heard the brand name and immediately assumed it was some B-grade Chinese brand.
Finally! A power station capable of running my rig setup in my tiny house. My grid is on a RV 30AMP box and currently running: Xbox One S w/24" Vizio FHD 1080p (Running on 1440p) Ryzen 7 3700x w/ Radeon 5700XT 8GB (running on 1440p 24" LG 144hz) 700watt PSU. If this baby can power my setup when I'm 'off grid', they can certainly have my $1000. And if anyone has questions about tiny house living for gamers, it's very real and it's 100% possible.
You basically just saw that exact same thing. These Jackery amps have solar arrays you can hook up that can basically completely offset the amount of power he was just using. I live the 'digital nomad' life out of a Mercedes Sprinter, and this Jackery plus 4 solar panels keeps my entire 'grid' up. I let it charge while I'm just sitting around or splitting wood for fire or whatever, and I leave the panels plugged in while gaming. I game on an Omen 30L and two 31 inch AOC curved monitors and with my 4 solar panels it charges faster than it consumes. Best part about this set up is that I can even charge it while I'm driving because it came with a 12v cigarette charger. So long story short, with 4 solar panels and having it charge while I drive I use this to power a gaming set up as well as a full 'van life' set up for essentially free.
@@BartonHNewell Hi, first of all excuse m'y english. I have few questions about how do u use your setup and your "way of vanlife" I have a pc gamer(less powerful) in my van too but get some issues with battery. For now i have 350w of Solar and 220ah gel battery. I hesitate between increase my solar park, or the power station option like this one. (For info im travelling through Europe so less Sun than US) How many hours can you play on without sun ?
You know, stuff like this has been for sale in Canada for at least 20 years but it was for starting your car and it just so happened to have full sized outlets. And then later on, USB ports and whatnot. They are called Motomaster Eliminators. Though, it didn't have the pure sine wave feature.
I have 100% considered one of these for camping in my Van. Solar set up to help charge it could be sweeeet. Just to run a small fridge or electric blanket for warmth in winter...
I had this thought too, very useful. Reminds me of my apc battery backup but this one is better. ALso its by apple which increases the cost :( The only real con I hate about rechargeable batteries, if they are damaged through shipping or quality control issue and you are unaware of any damage, they can explode and basically bleed out a torch like fire out of whatever hole, which scares me about backup batteries lol, as they can burn down your home. This applies to any battery powered device rechargeable anyway, just as your phone.
@@koilamaoh4238 That's what LIPO safes are for. I'd recommend them if you have any of those. If large rechargeable batteries were unsafe, they probably would be much more heavily regulated. Also, all that only applies to lithium batteries, Lead-Acid batteries are pretty safe, but can't hold as much power.
Fun fact: you can run a PC solely on batteries directly as switch mode supplies actually convert the AC from the wall straight into DC as the first step. If you took 10 or so 12v car batteries and hooked it into your PC's PSU it would boot and run like normal.
That looks similar in size to an equivalent wattage generated. Seems like an extremely versatile tool, however if there is one addition that can make it a life saver, 12v alligator clip port will be super handy to jump start the vehicle.
If you add up the cost for 1kWh LiFePo Battery, a pure sine wave 1000W inverter, BMS and charger ports you will see that even a DIY solution gets you to 800$, without any warranty or such a nice case
Jackery is the cornerstone for my 100w solar panel setup! It can output power to an outlet while charging via solar at the same time... other batteries don't do that!
Idk man this looks like someone an avx user would buy gotta go with a portable nuclear power plant to power the plane wave mounts that we all have in our shopping cart but will never buy
@@cowthedestroyer I guess it's a good thing I have an AVX. I really just want to get out of the city so I can actually get some good data. Maybe planewave mounts will come when I move out of the city 🤔
3:54 "Apparently the company was founded by an ex Apple engineer, who left in 2012. *does a quick google* "October 29, 2012: Scott Forstall, Apple’s senior vice president of iOS software, is ousted from the company after the disastrous Apple Maps launch." Me: So he went from digital maps to real maps. With his battery. 🔋
Yep, they do. The outlier is the capacity. Anker's largest power bank is 400 wh. This is 1000 wh, completely dwarfing it (to an unnecessary level for most people). Most companies generally max out at around 400-500wh. There are very few companies that produce them of this size, but they do exist (yeti is really the biggest competitor with a bank of this size) It's a real niche product, and a very expensive product. I live off the grid for 5-6 months of the year, so I've been researching these on and off for over 2 years. (never bought one, because of the price)
@@Artyomthewalrus Anker's units are ballpark comparable to the lower-end Jackery units. Anker's 388 Wh unit can output 300W and costs $400, while Jackery's 518 Wh unit can output 500W and costs $500. Their specs and capabilities appear roughly the same (apart from their slightly different price/power points).
Jason from Byte my bits used this in July or a very similar model in July. He was in love with it and was learning new things about it as he was reviewing it
Not the same use case at all tho, so not the same product? It mostly for power tools & all, not computers. Off grid, camping, backup when there are outages. You know?
Not quite. The APC 1500 VA UPS stores 108 watt-hours of energy (according to an Amazon Q&A) in its lead acid batteries and weighs 29 lbs. This power station carries 1002 watt-hours of energy in its lithium batteries and weighs 22 lbs. On the other hand, the APC costs about $100 USD while the Jackery 1000 costs $1,000. Edit: You can also pass-through charge.
Well yes, acid batteries are heavy, and no, the UPS or its battery expansion (expanded it will be like half of the Jackery's power at like 3x weight ;)) don't have handles on top, so not a luggable design but not like it's stationary ;) Still waaaay cheaper :) In this comment section there are people talking about using it for power losses, CPAPs and in RVs, where really the few more kilos don't matter. @soginvl No, it charges from a 24V charger, there's no AC pass-through. (Also, my UPS's batteries do charge from a solar panel, just not inside the unit ;))
If anyone is curious about the Zendure Superbase Pro 2096 Wattage Output for some electronics I just test ran some. Xbox One with Vizio OLED 24" T.V. Box says it uses less that 25 watts. (Xbox, and T.V running together = 80-100 watts. Play tested Elden Ring, Skyrim). Laptop Alienware M15 R2 ( Hit about 50-60 watts). This was with it already at 100% charge. So with it plugged in it was 50-60 watts. Kindle 10" Hd (7 watts charging).
I have an inverter generator I use for camping that does everything I need. BUT.......With this power station fully charged , I wonder how many hours I could get something like a laptop or mini PC along with a mini projector to run? If you charged with the solar panels during the day , I would think you could run a setup like that for days on end? It's $1500.00 for the Jackery PS and panels.......Hmmm? Might be a great thing for camping but also help here at the house when we lose power again.

Looks like it could have Anderson Power Pole adapters on it. If so and they could be used for output and not just he solar charging then it could be useful for off grid radio usage to power HF radios in disasters.
@@DeeSnow97 yes but there also is a lack of annoying people in my house Only problem is that these annoying people are on the internet, thus I get in contact with them So the only way to solve it is without internet, but then why would I need power outside if I can just stay home and cancel the contract with my ISP lol
@Savage Poet nah mate, I don't need Vitamin D, already got some D cups in my house And if ya look at my profile picture you know that crack is family friendly, it's just the cracked lock ofc I would never do such drugs nonono who would ever do drugs noooo
I almost wish this existed when I was buying a generator back in June to keep our refrigerator running in the event of a California rolling blackout, but on the other hand the fridge takes up a lot more power than what this battery can safely supply.
So you charge the battery with AC from the wall that gets converted to DC. Then you power the PC from the AC outlet which converts the DC to AC. Then your PC's power supply converts it back to DC. Pretty efficient.
Thats pretty sick, the only thing it doesnt do that I would like it to, is act like a UPS. UPS's are cool, but never portable like that thing. I dont think i would use it alot but would be great when I needed it, having it be able to do daily duty as a UPS would make it a very compelling product
I got one from the same brand, but much, much smaller. I use it to power a 24 inch TV on my patio, and it can get me through an entire NFL game no problem.
If you can you should check out the Goal Zero yeti 6000x. Yep, 6x the size and 2000 watts. They also have home power accessories to run your house off of there units if say the power goes out.
