Okay, I will start out by saying I am a U.S Service-member with over twenty years of Honorable service. With that being said I’ve done multiple tours to almost every desert in the Middle East, tours in tropical environments, tours in some pretty secluded off grid undisclosed locations. I only put this out there because I’ve had the pleasure of being a Jackery customer for years and years and the Jackery 240 portable power station, , the Jackery Solar Saga 60w tri-fold panels, and the small Jackery portable chargers were compact and lightweight enough to fit into my pack with ease and leave me room for the other essentials. Imagine being in the middle of nowhere and have a weeks worth of power at your fingertips for recharges, lights, portable fans, small burner for coffee and cooking. Then being able to say it never failed you, always recharged quickly, and has been through the worlds harshest conditions and environments, yet functions like the day you pulled it out of the box. So this began my Jackery passion. Which led me to purchase the Jackery 500. Everything I’ve said above applies to the 500 ten fold folks. Being Military my pay isn’t great so I’ve had to accumulate these items over the course of years, however never have I had to justify spending the money to my wife, as long as I said the word Jackery. Because she’s used the items as well here at home guard. My son plays Football and daughter plays soccer in the Nevada desert just miles away from where the annual Burning Man event is held. Hot dry desert climate, no trees for shade, just direct unrelenting heat. This genius woman, the love of my life used our Jackery Portable power stations to run dual fans, and a small refrigerated trucker cooler during daytime practices in a pop up sunshade tent, all neatly placed in one of those little soccer mom wheeled totes, and a folding low loveseat chair. Talk about super mom, with lots of friends who also wanted to stay cool. Then when night fell and the kids weren’t finished with practice, my lovely wife handed over the Jackery 500 to the coaches who then plugged LED lights into it and lit up the field for the kids giving us an extra hour or two to practice without the heat. This convinced her to give me permission to buy the SolarSaga 100w panels. Money was tight but she gave me the go ahead and we’ve never looked back and haven’t got an ounce of regret or buyers remorse for a single product. But this review is neither for the the Jackery 240, the Jackery 1000, the SolarSaga 100w or 60w panels. It’s not even for the Jackery portable chargers. This review is to let you know, the day the Jackery 500w Portable Power Station became available we did not hesitate for a second to buy it. With the stories we heard from friends about California and Washington power outages, the Covid-19 Pandemic, and any one of the many RV trips we take into Gods country to get away from it all for a few weeks, we both agreed this was the best thing for our family. Why use heavy loud generators, carry fuel, deal with all that monotonous nonsense, when you could literally live off the Jackery Families products. I say Family because over the years I’ve had multiple email contacts and numerous phone calls with them, and every interaction was amazing. Courteous, professional, and the products are literally second to none. The Jackery 1000 is my newest addition and there’s nothing I can say about it that the 240 or 500 don’t already represent. Twice the power, twice the life, multiple solar panel options, can recharge through car, wall, or good ol sunshine. I could get technical and go down the path as some of these reviewers do, but you anyone can read the box. I can sum everything the box says by just telling you that these products, put out by this amazing company, can enhance anyone’s life, save somebodies life, and will probably last your the rest of yours. It’s a no brainer for us. I’ve purchased every product so far with a smile knowing its perfect and the people handing it to me care enough to treat you as if you were family.

Style: E500
Update: As of December 1, 2025, both of my Jackery Explorer 500's are still working very well and I also purchased a Explorer 1000 to power my Maytag Refrigerator/Freezer. The E1000 is also working just fine. Jackery produces reliable products that just work when you need them. Update: I purchased a second Jackery Explorer 500 on 11-29-2019 after I discovered what a great unit my 1st Explorer was. Both of the units came in really handy a few days later when a utility pole guy cable anchor failed and the pole fell across the road. The power went out just as I was getting dressed and before breakfast. Both units powered table lights so my wife and I could get dressed and eat breakfast. I also plan to purchase a Jackery Explorer 1000 to run my Maytag Refrigerator/Freezer. I purchased a Jackery Explorer 500 on 8-31-2019 and it arrived VIA FedEx a few days later. I have been testing and using it. I am well pleased with my purchase and also purchased a Solar Saga 100 watt Solar Panel a few days later. This combination works really great. My home is located near the edge of my electric service area and it gets several power outages each year. My wife has some health issues and does not have good vision. Light in our bathroom has become an issue for us even in the daytime because it does not have any outside windows. The Jackery E500 has become very useful as it will easily power fans, LED table lamps and it is easy to move it from room to room as needed during any power outage. The fan likes the sine wave output and my Ham Radios like the regulated 12 Volts (actually 13.2 volts) much better than other units that only have 9 to 12.6 Volts available depending on charge. It is very nice to be able to see the % charge displayed rather than a few lights or bars that leave you guessing at the remaining charge. The 518WH is a good size for power outages because after recharging your phone and other small items you still have power left for the TV, Computer, table lamps and electric blanket. The recharge time may be about the same (slow) as the smaller ones but you can recharge at two times the Watt Hour rate because of the larger battery. I have a solid state Oscilloscope that the Jackery Explorer 500 can power for several hours and that makes one of my best pieces of test equipment truly portable. I have a UPS to protect my desktop computer that gives me 20 minutes of runtime in a blackout but if I unplug the UPS from Utility power, in a blackout, and plug it into my Jackery Explorer 500 I can extend the operating time four more hours. I liked my Jackery Explorer 500 so much that I purchased a second one when It was on sale a few days ago. A Message sent to '[email protected]' with some questions brought a next day response. Team Jackery advises that the 6mm DC output jack actually requires a 6.5 X 1.4mm plug. I am still looking for a good source of these plugs to create some powerpole jumpers for radio and test use. I purchase a DC jumper cable to use with the Jackery E500. An 8mm to Anderson Powerpole to connect my solar panel and other charging equipment. "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DK9N2S8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" The Jackery Explorer 500 is a very good quality unit and I expect it to provide several years of reliable service. Update: Here is some information that I discovered today about the 6mm DC output connectors on a Jackery Explorer 500. I have purchased several "6mm" connectors from various Amazon vendors and they all arrived and looked very similar. All of the "6mm" connectors had a metal contact that measures 6mm OD and a yellow plastic tip that measures 6.3 or 6.4mm OD. I have NOT been successful in creating a good cable from any of them. All were poor connections (Think Blinking Lights). I was successful in obtaining a '6mm" cable that is used on the Jackery Explorer 160 and it works good. After measuring some connectors, here are my results: Uxcell : 6.0MM OD on barrel & 6.3MM OD on Yellow Plastic Tip, length of contact 10mm including Yellow Plastic Tip Jackery: 6.0MM OD on barrel & 6.3MM OD on expanded Metal Tip, length of contact 12mm including Expanded metal Tip Conclusion: The Jackery Explorer 500 requires the longer all metal barrel contact in order to give a good connection. 11-22-2020 Update: I have been testing & using the Jackery Explorer 500 for more than a year and I can report that it still works the same as it did the day that I purchased it and I am very pleased with my purchase. It has worked very well through several short power outages and I have purchased another E500 as well as a E1000, E300 and a E160. All of the newer Jackery purchases are working very well. With the new purchases, I can have one charging with the Solar panel and another to power my equipment at the same time. I have discovered that the DC power adaptor cable supplied with the Jackery Explorer 160 also works very well in my Explorer 500 and I have modified the cable by adding a Anderson Power Pole connector to this cable. I have also discovered that Goal Zero sells 6mm cables that you can modify for use in either the E500 or the E160. I am looking forward to purchasing A Jackery Explorer that will power my 1600 watt Microwave. Maybe early next year?
