JACKERY EXPLORER 1000 RECALL INFO: czcams.com/video/6_1oX3KPmM4/video.html
@itsdatruff No.
The power supply is under "Adjustable DC Power Voltage Converter "
Question, looking at your tools I saw a cigarette to SAE adapter. I have watched your other videos on adapting solar panels to charge my Bluetti AC200p, you put two solar panels in parallel after adapting SAE to MC4.
Seems to me that would result in less loss of power since we do not need to convert DC to AC and then convert AC back to DC.
Since the AC200p needs 24v, and my Ford provides 4 cigarette lighter plugs, I could use two of them with the adapters wires in serial. Would this work?
I don’t see the power supply… Nor the cables 12 months later. July, 2021.
@@edog1955 You didn't look very hard. I have at least a half dozen chargers and dozens of adapters on my site.
Thank you for the education ...Your the man.. Thanks for taking the time to simplify things....👍👍👍I always look forward to your videos Bro..
I made this with the existing solar panel adapter that came with the bluetti eb150, and used an "Adaptor Kit Solar Cable Wire". Thank you very much for your videos they are very much appreciated!
Worked like a charm! I hacked up a 8mm to 12 AWG Solar connector from your Amazon page... got all the parts and assembled it exactly as shown and I am super happy. Thank you
Ordered power adapter and 8mm 14awg cord from your links, a male 3-prong with exposed ends from Amazon, assembled it this morning and it works great!! This will reduce generator run time by more than half and still run in eco mode.
Thank you very much for this video, the detailed instructions, and the links for the parts.
This video has a been a game changer for me. Thank you professor.
We are in Wyoming on vacation. Actually today is a travel day so we are making sure phones and iPads are charged before we leave for the airport. The agonizingly slow rate of charge reminded me of how jazzed I am to have found your channel and among other things did this project. Charging the Bluetti 240 was relatively agonizingly slow at 170w. But now, at 450 or better... it still makes me smile. The cooling fans for both units come on and given that this time of year my cabin interior is about 60°, I’m not concerned about heat degradation. Great job, HT!!
Superb vid Tom. One of your best I think. You’re a terrific teacher. Thanks! Michael in Houston.....
Thanks, Tom.. Works perfectly (122vdc for an AC50S), I installed rubber feet to raise the case and improve ventilation.. The case is just warm on the left side indentation, wires/plugs cool. Go for it..
Nice step by step. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the information as I just ordered a Jackery 500 explorer on sale from Jackery for $449.
This was just what I needed so I can charge my Bluetti faster when I need to.
I just made this for my ed240 its been a big help because its been raining were i live for a week now. Fyi lowes sell extension cords with the cable stripped on the female end
Thanks for the info!
Got my parts, put it together and got it working PERFECTLY today! Have been recharging my 2400whr bluetti around 415 watts (purposely) the last 2 hours... This is so awesome! Thank you!! Looking forward to the AC200 next month 👊🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Which adapter cable did you use? I’m having a difficult time finding the heavier duty one HT suggests?
Great info.
Very well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎯
You could use an old desktop computer power cord instead of an extension cord. They're ubiquitous & free (usually).
This x 1000000!! We waste so much, and there are so many perfectly good cables out there at thrift stores.
Going to build one for a Bluetti AC300 and test it this weekend. A slightly different way of doing it. The Bluetti already has a nice 4-pin DC input that goes out to solar connectors, a set of 2 connections. Will be adapting to connect to this with a 12.5A 600-watt supply. If it works well enough, I will add a second as option possibly. My large gas/propane puts out gobs of power, but the Bluetti doesn't like it (non-inverter style). But that AC output from it should power these adjustable power supplies just fine. Some of these newer ones allow both voltage and current now. I can see using one set of lines coming in dedicated for solar panels and the other for the generator. Getting out and tweaking the generator governor to get 60hz under load is a PITA when freezing outside. If this works, no more cold excursions as the generator starts with a remote.🙂
Hey Bud! Best to Miss Heidi too!
I purchased a Jackery 1000 recently and I confirm that not only do I not have the delay issues on the screen, but they also included their new Y-adapter for hooking up 2 solar panels.
hey, do u still have it? has the experience been good? lmk
Thank u.
Than you very much ! 🇧🇪
Hi very informative OMG good work in helping everyone learning from you. Keep up the work and love that you give suggestions on where and what to get off Amazon. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. Be safe
Nice!
Hey guy,,,you rock,,, While I do not have the money for either of those Solar Generators I really appreciate your efforts to improve the usefulness. I am using old-style lead acid 12-volt batteries with a separate solenoid under the hood. 2 yrs and runs everything I need. Thanks again
what does your separate solenoid under the hood do?
@@massa-blasta continuous duty solenoid. Unless you've a heavy duty electrical system, you just might damage your key-operated one.
Excellent walkthrough with tons of details. Nice.
Hopefully I can do this with my older GZ Yeti 3000 Lithium. The GZ 60watt wall chargers don’t last. Replacements are always out of stock. Great job!
Fantastic video really appreciate the work you put into your videos
Omg yes! We all appreciate you sharing this with us. TY TY TY
This is great! Will this work for my Bluetti EB70??? Thanks for sharing.
Just use the solar power cable that came with the Bluetti, all you need to do is to buy another 3 foot solar cable with the standard solar M4 connectors, cut it in half and connect it to the solar cable that came with the Bluetti 1500 and then connect the other end to the variable transformer and your done. I also do this with the EcoFlo Delta 1300, and I can use my 800 watt inverter sportsman generator, That was one thing I did not like about the plug in charge that is enternally built into the Ecoflo Delta 1300 You needed at least a 1200 watt inverter generator. But this way you can charge it at 440 watts and use a smaller generator.
Great stuff as always. However, the center pin of the 7.9mm plug isn't connected (unless it's a smart PSU like on some HP laptops which require 5 volts on it), rather it's the inner surface of the barrel that carries the current as pos outer being the ground/neg.
Keep the great videos coming. They are very informative. I also wanted to ask if you were camping up on the East rim of the grand canyon last week. The van was identical to yours and when it drove by my camp it looked like you. I wanted to yell out hey professor hobo tech, but if that was not you it would of made everyone awkward. Anyhow I 👍 your videos.
No, I've been in Tucson since February.
Hey Tom, another great video !!! I also sent back my E1000, shipping was to Missouri, hopefully the new one will arrive soon, hurricane season here in Florida starts on Monday.
Shipping mine back on Monday it also is going to Missouri. Hope I get the replacement soon worried about severe weather power outages. Need power for medical devices. The 1000 worked awesome in the 4 powqer situations faced since april 1 .
For me I'd get the current limiting one also but i have several boost and buck converters
5:36 "yeah baby"
Great Info, Thanks! Btw, I know you mean well, but your use of electrical tape is right up there with Pippy Peterson interpretation of dove sounds.....
Yeah, I wouldn't lay claim to that tape. Most of the cognoscenti understand: don't add tape within another connection device. It actually weakens your connection! One or the other!
Great Info and your guide is detailed enough. Can this be used to charge LiFePO4 battery with built in BMS for DC to DC charging?
EXCELLENT video...thank you very much!
Hello Professor
Thank you for sharing. 👍
Thank You for teaching me.
Helpful demonstration what your doing is not necessarily as extreme as what it might seem it is essentially what the power stations are designed to do with a really capable solar system it really shouldn't void any warranties. Thanks for the demonstration.
Hah! love it - I do exactly the same thing, but I have a self built lifepo4 12V battery and inverter, and a charge controller capable of 35A (nice 150V victron unit). So I feed it from a similar supply that does 66V at 8.3 amps when the dial is turned all the way up and it pegs the controller at 35A ;) Quick way to charge a 200Ah LFP :P Oh and I use XT60's left over from my RC helicopter days :)
Just saw this video. Good stuff! If I were to rig up a quick connect adapter setup using Anderson connectors, what amp connectors would I use?
Great video and info... this will work with the INERGY FLEX 1500 POWER also? shopping I have not done any decision . Not easy to make a decision and more Solar coming out next month also. thanks and great job
At 5:45 when you said that we would need some electrical tape, I was holding a roll of electrical tape
Thank you!!
Great video!
I've been doing this since my hair was brown... thanks for another great video
I have a Bluetti EB1500 in a tiny sometimes camper van, with no solar. I operate it as gas over electric. I have a 500W pure sine inverter supplying the stock wall charger. It charges at 210W. I suppose it's drawing around 250W. I tried it with cigarette power port in the van. That's a no no. The video implied it was possible but it's on the bleeding edge of the vehicle 20A fuses and the cigarette plug can get hot enough to burn you and maybe melt. I caught it before it did that. Those are good only up to 150W. So I used 10ga straight from the battery. For my specific way of van travel vacations where I move almost every day, and boondock or primitive camp often, it's fine. (With 250K miles on a Transit Connect I am not up for doing anything permanent to the van, so I kludge)
Daaamn. I have been using crimp connectors for years and never knew that they are heat shrink connectors.
Not all of them are, the translucent ones usually are, and the opaque ones usually aren't.
funny, and true that!
Dude you are so cool... This is brilliant
Great video. I love the detail. Even I could manage it without burning the house down. I'll have my cat in her carrier before I try though, just in case. Thanks for the Jackery PSA also. Thank goodness they're owning up and doing the right thing. And...wait for it.....ODIN!!! Hi Odin! Hugs and kissies to Odin! Hugs and kissies to Thor, too!
Beautiful job on closeup photography. 📸
Best I've seen on youtube. 🤓 👍
PRO TIP: Use SUGRU (nice silicone putty) instead of electrical tape... works WAY better to secure those lil wires from moving around. love this product for MANY other uses too!
Good morning Professor 👨🏫
Will this charge the Jacorey 1000 faster? I would probably use Anderson power pole connectors instead
If you put the +V and the -V on the terminals immediately next to each other, there will be less stress on the wires. Also if you want to do some more strain relief on the cords, zip tie them to the framework of the power supply where the slots are next to the terminal area.
thanks - does this work with newer bluetti's like the EB70s?
What would really be nice if Jackery would supply a discount code for some Jackery solar panels because I am returning the 1000:-)
Can you review the PECRON 500W Car Charger DC1242-500 for Cars, RVs, Trucks, etc. × 1
The newest eb240 has a 42v 5A charger & sucks about 200-213W. Now maxoak has gone from 170 to 200+, could they have been SO CAUTIOUS? The max spec input is given as 60v at 10A with 73v OVP, which should certainly allow 400+W,
but I notice that using the stock charger, it blinks off regularly to green, then immediately back to red, yet still charges at almost the same rate as when plugged into the wall.
I've done this on several different days, but hesitate to use your adjustable charger because of (it's quality &) the draw on my lighter's socket (although. I've a 170A system on my Ram tradesman). I'm about to drive to the lower 48 so
I'm tempted to get your charger & a shitload of fuses. BTW, I've also got a goal zero 500w and the Besteck works perfectly with IT'S charger, but the 60-80W or so that I get from that doesn't compare with goal zero's 120w car charger! Difficult to find, though.
can you do a video on testing it from a modified sine wave inverter
Why do some eb150's have the color display? It seems that the early models have color and the latest models have mono chrome. Just got my eb150 direct from bluetti. Has a few nice upgrades from the original model. Not the display though...mono chrome...haa. Any thoughts on why they switched?
Great video content and presentation. Keep em coming.
If I were to use this but instead of plugging the AC cord into a standard wall outlet, I plug it into the Bestek 300w inverter..what would be the highest setting I could go?. I’m wondering if I can get more than the 170w you get when using the stock power brick. I should mention that I have a special “high amp” 12v plug that came with the van from the factory. It is rated at 25amps. It seems I have much more power available to push to the power station to but the power brick caps at 170watt charge rate. Like at least a 100 more watts at 270 using this voltage box...yes?
One other question....I currently own the Bestek 300w...what if I were to get a pure sine wave inverter over 500 (800-1000) that is hook directly to the car battery, could I then hit the 50v max?. I do also have a heavy duty upgraded alternator that was an option from the factory. Do you think that kind of higher load would harm the alternator over time?. Thank you for all that you do!!!
So if I replaced the Solar Generator with a Victron DC to DC charger with appropriate cables to the Jackery and the alternator, would I accomplish the same thing? Specifically for the jackery 2000 that has a 54 volt input max and 400 watts.
I have the 4-panel DOKIO 160 - is the higher voltage of opening the center connector and wiring in series gonna charge my AC50S (bought after seeing YOUR review) any faster? Normally I get a max of 115w charging according to the AC50S with all 4 panels in parallel.
Could you do an overview of upping the 110v to 220/240v on a Jackery 2000 Europe ??? 😳if you can 😜👍🏻 great videos by the way 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice tutorial as usual. Strange as strange is - I have all the parts you list! Including a "comparable" P.S. If I can find the time, I might give this a try for my Jackery 500. Bookmarked this one.
Question, is it safe to leave a Bluetti AC200 or other similar units connected to panels for extended periods of time?I would like to leave unit in off grid cabin which we may leave for several weeks at a time.
Can you PLEASE review the EGO Nexus Power Station??? Purty Please....
How about charging from two AC bricks?
What kind of gloves, I like your gloves. What’s the name brand and what do they call them, thanks great video 👍❤️
Do I need to discharge Bluetooth 2400 before recharging to extend life of battery
So, considering solar charging and the Bluetti, placing solar panels in series to step up the voltage for faster charging is pretty much advertised as a "feature." However, if I'm reading you correctly, the moment you exceed the voltage of the factory brick, you are introducing more wear onto the battery bank. There is no difference between using the China charger to step up voltage vs using solar panels to do the same...correct?
I have a propane generator that outputs modified sine wave AC I’d like to use for charging with this power supply. Are these compatible with modified sine wave?
Can you use the jackery while it charging to a solar?
What is the differance between that charger and the bluetti charger D050s charge enhancer?
Good vid. I have forever been looking for a bare 7.9mm male barrel connector that I can solder my own wires to, but no luck so far.
I'm considering getting this, but wouldn't it be easier to use #3 of positive (+V) and #1 of negative (-V), being that they're closer together? #1-3 Of each are probably just bus barred together anyway.
Thank you for sharing! Which laptop do you use for editing your video’s? Thank you! 👍😘🙏🇬🇧
I tend to avoid laptops. I use an Asus Mini-PC that runs on 12v. hobotech.tv/amazon/#Computer-Tech
Have you since tried it with a modified sign wave inverter?
Love your videos - your presentation and mix of fun (Odin's outro is so perfect!) and I really appreciate it.
Question - do you have a list of current Portable Power Stations ("solar generators" heh heh) that have the regulated 12V Cigarette lighter outlet? I understand I need this specifically for my 12V CPAP connection? I am aware that the Jackery 500 and the Bluetti 1500/2400 have it, but are their others?
All Jackerys do as well as the large Bluetti models. Some Suaoki do and all of EcoFlow does. I believe Point Zero does but not sure as I haven't reviewed those.
@@HOBOTECH Thank you for the fastest response, ever! Unfortunately I am in Canada, and all the Jackery's (over 240) are sold out :( Here's hoping they send more north, soon :)
Yes, this seems to be a big problem. Unfortunately, Amazon (and government regulations on shipping batteries over borders) makes it into a huge hassle to ship these things to Canada so most companies don't bother. I'm almost considering providing a relay service, but I don't think most would want to pay for it.
Good luck Bud..... hope we get them back soon.
Nice work! honestly, you can do away with most of that electrical tape. A proper crimp connection is plenty strong.
Very interesting, thanks. Duke Nukem at 5:36
Hi Prof'. Can you charge 2 x 500wh solar generators at the same time from 1 x 150w solar panel, with a cable splitter. I haven't tried it in case I damage the solar batteries. Also can I fit a bluetooth voltmeter to a jackery 500 so that I can check it when its hidden in its cupboard. Thank you for all your vids, you explain with simple terms that I can understand without the technospeak babble that some channels use. Thanks again 🇬🇧😷🌧
No.
I didn’t see the strippers (featured at 5:37) on Amazon. Where can I get some, and do they come with the pole?
Nice - glad to know you can charge those faster. For 20 ga wire, the max current for 'chassis wiring" (short runs) is 11 amps. Your cord is probably a little longer than that, so 8-9 amps would probably be the max.
Can you charge the Pecron 3400 with that charger? 🤔
I'm curious. Stuff I can't talk to Bluetti about. I'm having troubles with my Bluetti EB150 through Rich Solar. I've had to get Amazon involved because it's been over a week with no response for help from RS. My first problem I had is when I used my gaming laptop on the first full charge and played for approx 11hrs until the sogen was fully discharged. The problem is that the Bluetti LCD screen was showing only a 40-60watt draw but I know my laptop takes 140-160watts especially when gaming. The batteries depleted as if I were using 140-160watts even though the screen only showed 40-60watts. When charging tablets, phones, charging bricks, etc. I have to plug in about 6 devices until it even shows that I'm getting any draw of watts and it only displays around 11 or so. I can't talk to them about my next issue and that's is I put together one of your fast chargers in this video. Mine is only 480watts but when I charge and turn the dial all the way up it. It only goes to 30 volts. when I unplug it from the eb150 the charger will goto and sit at 50volts. The Bluetti however when I charge shows max 255watts input at the 30volts but it still fully charged today with 1 bar at the start in 3hrs. WTF?
Will the charger fan shut off after it's fully charged
I want to use this to charge the bluetti from my gas generator quicker. Is that ok?
HT, I have the 2400 based on your review and I love it.
At about 22:20 you’re talking about how fast-charging heats up the battery therefore decreasing long term battery life. My question is, since the 2400 can accept up to 500W solar charge, is that the same as fast-charging at 500W..? The unit doesn’t know whether the charge coming in is from an ac source or solar source.
Typically my 4 panel setup provides about 340-360 watts on a sunny day, is that ultimately causing some rapid charging damage? Thanks for your help and congrats on the new house! Man your views are outstanding!!!
Charging at 500w isn't going to cause damage as long as the Bluetti is staying cool. It's the heat that causes the degradation.
HOBOTECH Thank you!! I bought the power adapter using your link, I am having trouble finding the heavier duty cable you suggest for the Bluetti.
Thank you very much for your response. I know as your channel grows we won’t always be so fortunate to have your personal response.
Edit: Watched your video again, toward the end, “bigger 8mm adapter cable” that I’ll hack. Got it. Now, back to your amazon site. 🙂
Should I be charging my devices to 100%. It seems to take forever for the last 10 percent?
Appreciate you going out of your way to show all the products that shouldn’t be used 🤣🤣
Got the charging unit but can't get any watts out- hooked to AC200 Bluetti-tried replacement-same result-any ideas?
Hi HOBOTECH. Can you do a demonstration of this fast charger on Yinglong Lithium Titanate batteries. Supposedly the lto batteries can charge at 5C. I've not seen it done anywhere on the internet. Thanks.
This is not a battery charger. You woudn't really want use it like that.
Got the charger and hooked up like you said works great ( If you can solar change at 500 watts , it should not hurt the bluetti 150 maybe) There was a little switch that came with it in a plastic bag, what’s it for?
It's for remote voltage adjustment if you install the unit inside a box.
