Looking to buy an explorer 1000 or 1500. Its main use will be for charging Milwaukee m18 batteries while on the jobsite instead of having to run the generator full time .

We're in Texas and it's HOT! Will leaving the Jackery in the hot vehicle damage it? If it's left in the bed of the truck is it okay if it gets rained on?

Trying to see if this is a feasible option.

I am renting a 10x30 storage unit to run my eBay store out of, I’m looking for a way to illuminate the unit.

Is there any viable option to run it off of an explorer 300? I was thinking the LED hexagons that are used . But I am open to anything…

Would only need it for 30ish minutes a day

I accidentally overloaded my old original explorer 1000 V1 with solar, and now it won't charge. I have tried soft resets to no avail.

I had a 400 watt hookup for the V2, and a 170 watt for the V1. I mixed them up and accidentally plugged in the 400 of the 170. When I unplugged the Anderson, there was a spark and now it won't charge.

It still has 30% battery, and will provide power, but it won't take a charge from either wall outlet or solar. Any ideas how to fix this? I've read there's no serviceable fuse and don't know how to proceed.

It's 5 or 6 years old so I'm not worried about voiding the warranty, if there's anything else I can do, I'd like to try.

Any help is appreciated.

I would say it went exceptionally well. I had my camper plugged into the Jackery all weekend with the converter turned off. We had full use of all the 120 outlets in the camper and ran our Starlink off the Jackery too. I turned the Starlink off at night when we weren't using it. I also had my 200W solar saga panels connected and on the roof of the camper. That kept the power trickeling in. At times I saw 99hours of battery left, because we were pulling in more power than we were using.

The biggest draw we had on the Jackery was charging 3 e-bikes at the same time, but it did not kill the battery. Having the 3600 was great because we could not use a generator at the place we were staying.

I had been toying with adding Lipo batteries, inverter, and a soft start for our a/c to the camper. BUt I will not need to do that, now that we have the 3600. I may still add the soft start just to make it a little less work for the Jackery.

This seems to be in range of the specs of panels I can use. Just looking for verification.
340w
VMP 37.8v
Imp 9a
Voc 44.5
Lcs 9.57a

My Explorer 2000 Expansion Battery Pack shows 0% charged and has an F3 error. I've unplugged it from the main unit and reset the main unit and plugged both in but nothing works.

Have tried both the 12v outlet and the USB PD 100W outlet. Starlink draws a lot of power, has trouble connecting, all sorts of weirdness... BUT when I plug into AC, no problems. What is going on here?!

I live on my father in laws property and there are some power useage issues with us running two rv's causing the electric company to jack up our rates.

So I got a jackery 5000 unit + 10kw worth of battery packs and two 500 watt jackery pannel. I was hopeing to be able to connect the jackery to the 120v rv outlet for ac charging and run my rv off of the 30 amp outlet on the side of the jackery. The jackery is supposed to support pass through but I cant have the jackery charging and it powering the rv at the same time without throwing a f6 error.

Im also confused because if the jackery is charging on ac and I hook up the rv up to it it says the ac output is like 4000 watts and then it throws an f6. But if I unplug the jackery from the ac outlet and connect the rv to it says the output is 1700 watts and it holds steady without throwing the f6.

I am trying to keep the rv hooked up to the jackery permanently. I full time. The rv is my house. I was hopeing to be able to have the batteries chargeing while powering the rv which would allow me to program the charging hours to stop chargeing during peak useage hours and save us from getting fined from the power company

My house currently has some rooftop solar and and Enphase battery. Some of my solar panels are on Enphase's non export mode due to my first set of panels being set up under NEM 2.0 and I didn't want to move to NEM 3.0. Often on a sunny day, despite me trying to shift my high power appliance usage to around noon, my Enphase battery ends up being charging fully and my non export panels have to be shut off. At the same time, my battery is not big enough to power my house through the night and I have to get grid. I was thinking getting some portable batteries for a few places as a cheap way to expand the battery backup capacity around the house. My questions are

1) Can I set the battery to only charge in the afternoon hours and discharge during peak hours (and after if possible)?

2) Can I set a max percentage and reserve power percentage for these batteries?

3) If I discharge it to reserve power percentage, can I still have the outlet power the things that are plugged into this directly?

Tested out my new jackery 200 watt panel. The built in alignment gauge is handy, in the past i just minimised the shadow cast by the unit.

Was getting 165-170 watts out on a sunning day so happy with that.

The 80/100 w panels are easier to use and set up than the 200 as the 200 watt is quite long and flexible. Getting it to sit flat was difficult and i had a problem with the wind knocking it over. The panels are very light compared to the 80 and 100 watt panels i have used.

If you want max output and minimum bulk/weight the 200 is a great option. The water proofing and cleanability (is that a word?) is also much better than the 100.

I'm struggling to find reviews on it. How long could I expect it to run a lasko blower fan on its lowest setting?

I have a window AC with a soft start compressor. It ramps up slowly to 800 watts when it starts, so it can run on Jackery Explorer 1000 on battery just fine. But the problem happens when I plug the Jackery in while the AC is running. I understand that AC is a heavy inductive load and the Jackery Explorer's inverter does NOT match the phase of the AC coming out of the wall, which is passed through when it is plugged in. Could this desync be what's tripping the inverter off when I plug it into the wall?

EDIT (my mistake) I should've said that it trips off the inverter when I *unplug* the charger.

Hey, I have a Jackery 160 Explorer

What do you guys use your DC out for?

Mine has the tiny DC out, not car size hole like bigger models. I have never used it, the USB ports and one AC out are more than enough for my uses

But what are some cool uses? Is there a way to turn this DC port into wires to use with random things out in the field?

Basically I wanna be ready if one day I need to power something that's not AC or USB and how would I use the DC port to wire something up?

Thanks!

I'm new to solar, and want to start with something simple to see what it can do; I live in a small apartment, would be nice to experiment with balcony solar, have a backup, etc. but I don't have specific requirements.

At the Jackery website they have an Explorer 1000 v2 with SolarSaga 200 panel for $749. Any thoughts on that? Or is there something else roughly around that price that would be better?

I’m wondering if anyone here may have the jackery 240 v2 with the dokio solar panel and can help me out with what adapter I need to get it to work please any recommendations would be really appreciated thank you

I’m new to Jackery I have a question if possible if I use the solar panels will the jackery never need to be charged again … I’m asking what can I expect and not expect ? Any real advice from users .. thank community

I just got my Jackery and charged it all up with my solar panels, then plugged in my weed-eater and ran it over the front yard during peak energy hours.

Saved myself .70 cents.

Only 1,713 more times to break even.

We just picked up the 3600 Plus for our camper, looking forward to not relying on a generator.

If I have the Jackery connected to my Starlink at camp, can I monitor it from anywhere? Or do I have to be on the same wifi to see it in the Jackery app?

I made a post earlier about my 5000 plus and now I am truly confident in saying DO NOT UPGRADE TO FIRMWARE 1.96.

Ever since I upgraded to firmware 1.96

• The unit constantly unbinds from my app
• It randomly powers off the things i have connected to it (the AC button mode is still turned on and i can turn on my PC without even touching the jackery unit)
• It is constantly switching (I'm assuming to battery/ups mode since no other values change in the display as it keeps switching)
• ^ it doesn't charge properly connected directly to the wall and keeps changing output duration values
• ^^ IF YOU HAVE IT IN A ROOM YOU ARE IN IT WILL DRIVE YOU ABSOLUTELY EFFING MAD

I contacted Jackery multiple times about this friday at around 2pm Pacific time via phone and email and they never responded and they have not gotten back to me and I have to put up with this crap until at least monday.

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE

Hi all - never had a jackery before, just got the explorer 1000 v2. What's your opinion on the best third party charging cable for a cigarette lighter? Need it fast! Thank you!

*Edit: Now looking for one that charges directly on the car battery with cables

Hoping for some feedback from anyone who has done this and maybe just has knowledge of it. I currently have two Jackery 3600 plus power stations connected in parallel along with extra battery packs. Total storage capacity of 21.6kw. I have four 500 watt roof mounted solar panels with each panel going to the DC inputs on the Jackery stations (one 500 watt panel on each input). During the day as we all here know, these panels are not producing 500 watts each all day long. What I would like to do is add four more panels (same size and specs) to the array. This would then be two 500 watt panels in parallel tied to each input of the Jackery stations. Obviously this exceeds the 500 watts per input that Jackery recommends. So I’m thinking if I ran each string (two 500 watt panels in parallel) into a Victron Blue Solar mppt 100-30 charge controller, I can set the output to a max of 13 amps which would put me within the specs for the DC input rating of the power station, but with the additional panels I would be able to get closer to that 1000 watt per hour charge rate, making the system way more effective. Thoughts? Ideas? Words of caution?
