  • Y'all want off-the-grid power? This is IT!
Truly a thing of engineering beauty. Tried several other brands and this is by far the most durable, versatile, and reliable off-the-grid ready. The listed times are 98% the same results I get. Solar just takes it to another level. They aren't as durable as the Jackery but, hey, just take care not to bust them up and you're fine. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Portable electrical power that’s easy!
I bought this for dry camping in my RV. I wanted an easy way to recharge my multiple Ipads, Iphones and computers. I just returned from an 18 day trip and the jackery 500 with the 100 watt solar panel performed flawlessly. Recharging it was the easiest system I have ever worked with. In sunny AZ the system went from 83% to 100% in 2 hours. If it was cloudy, I plugged into my 12volt plug while driving and generally went from low 80s to 100% within a 3 hour drive. I have not used the 120 volt charger yet as it was not needed. In total I recharged 2 Ipads, 2 phones, 1 computer and 1 jet pack overnight. Battery would be in the low 80% by morning, sometimes 75% by evening back to 100%. I highly recommend this system. Addendum photos first photo 11:48 am, 2nd 12:42 pm, 3rd 1:48 pm, 4th 3:02 pm, 5th 3:55 pm Recharge in Tucson, AZ. May 23, 2021 Went from 100% to 81% after charging 2 Iphones, 2 Ipads, 1 jetpack. 1 Ipad in use for a couple of hours while being charged. ... show more

  • Power for a small greenhouse
I bought this to use for powering lights and fans for my small greenhouse. The solar cell powers the fans and lights during the day and keeps the battery topped up. At night it keeps the lights going and gives me enough power to operate a small mist pump for humidity. It seldom uses much power so I usually still have about 75% still left in the battery the next day. It has enough reserve power to get me through several cloudy days when the charge rate is lower. It was an excellent purchase for this purpose. Also lets me keep my cell phone and laptop charged up. ... show more

  • Reliable Unit, But With Drawbacks
I bought this unit just over 2 years ago and it’s still going strong. And I’m a full-time digital nomad with an overland setup. However, knowing what I know now about Solar Generators, I would not have bought it. First off… this is a Lithium battery and as such charges very slowly. 89w is the fastest it charges even with the AC. DC on my 4Runner can get as high as 75w and my 300w solar panel about 74. I’ve since bought a higher capacity (700wh) LiFePo battery that reaches 296w input on AC and my 300w panel and is capable of keeping my portable fridge, Starlink satellite kit, WeBoost, laptop, tablet and phone charged while maintaining capacity. This Explorer 500 unit can keep the fridge going and provide one, maybe two charges for the laptop and not much else. As such, this unit is a backup. Which is very handy for bad weather days or when my LiFePo battery’s input unit failed — this unit has never failed. So that’s a huge plus. Also, my limited experience with Jackery’s Customer Service is very positive. The Solar Saga 100w panel I bought with this failed after 6mos, and after sending them a video demonstrating the problem, the sent a warranty replacement right out the next day. When you’re out on your adventure, having fast and reliable support is critical to keeping you in action. And they were definitely there for me The only other drawback is the — sorry to say — STUPID — “fisher-price” handle. I mean c’mon! Why design the unit to prevent stacking? Two batteries is ideal, you want backup. And this design actively prevents that. However, their higher end batteries have a folding handle like their competitors. And they are also offering LiFePo4, which I highly recommend over Lithium for lifespan as well as the rapid charge which this unit lacks I know I’ve poo-poo’d this item a bit, but it’s still going strong and as a reserve battery that stacks ON TOP of my main battery, so I have no real complaints as evidenced by my 5 star review which it deserves because it’s been rock solid and because I know their support is great So if you have very lightweight power needs and aren’t needing something to keep you going for extended tripe in the outdoors, this item would be ok. But for the price, you can get better value with a LiFePo battery. Hopefully they’ll upgrade the Explorer series since they really are weak sauce compared to what’s out there ... show more

  • Great for my use case
I bought this so that I could power my laptop, as I was working in a remote location for some time and needed to be able to recharge it. Worked great the entire time. Convenient to use, a bit heavy but you expect that for something that is mostly battery. Never used the included solar panel, but I imagine I would if I had bought it for more of a camping/recreation use case. The problem arises with what happened to it after I brought it home. This may not be indicative of the overall quality of the product. I took it to show my brother, because naturally, I thought it was quite neat. Turned on the AC power for the outlet and the magic smoke escaped. The outlet no longer functioned. All the DC ports did still function, but the entire thing I bought it for - the AC outlet - was broken. It was still under warranty at this point, and I did end up getting a shipping label to send it in for repair; I got busy and forgot about it though. It is well past the warranty now, so that's my bad. Kudos that they actually were willing to repair or replace it for me though, good customer service. ... show more
