I love the pop up graphics indicating the ports. Great viedo!
Thanks for the honest review!
I appreciate how detailed your being. I need to learn about these units and I know nothing about this sort of thing.
That's one heavy flash light.. dang. lol. Can't wait to see the van all done.
You did a really great job of explaining this product. I learned a lot. Thank you.
A honest review sells more than a flowery, everything is prefect review. Thank you and please keep up the GREAT work.
just starting watching it now, and so excited for a new video!
I just bought my Jackery 880 1000 watt. plugged it into solar panel for 6 hours during the day, brought it into my house pluged in my double door fridge 22 cubic ft. and it ran from 3pm till 3am 12 hours later it had 14 percent battery left Great Product!
Exactly the info I was looking for . Great stuff. Thanks man.
Yep, thanks for a good, thourough review.
I like Jackery products. I have had a few of their smaller iPhone and iPad rechargers for years, and they perform & hold up well.
I could definitely see purchasing one of these, to have in the truck or car for emergencies, or for operating off-grid a while.
Happy Camping
Good information to know thank you I was thinking about running the fridge off this now I may need to rethink it.
So what do you run the refrigerator on???
This approach is far more attractive to me than trying to get a dual battery setup put together to run a fridge, etc. Plus the added benefit of being able to use it someplace other than your rig if needed. Appreciate the in-depth look and honest review!
I definitely think if your just wanting to run a fridge and charge a few accessories this is a good option, over a dual battery and in my opinion much safer and cheaper. I will be doing a video on my dual battery system here in a couple of weeks and you will see what I mean.

Jason, I'm an engineer so I get into a lot of technical aspects of products. None the less, I find your reviews extremely useful and real world relevant. Anything you review is very worth watching, so thank you!
Very very informative. Thanks for the info.
A nice compatible feature is that the 8mm input on the jackery works with goal zero solar panels 8 mm plugs...I tested on a jackery 290 a friend had and it charged using my GZ panels fine. That allows me to mix my GZ system with jackery gear.
Good review, It would work great for use in the Highlander on road trips.
Great video Jason!
super good review man! super helpful and really appreciated!
Would love it if they had at least 2 Anderson plugs. They are so universal and you can make numerous plugs and cables without much trouble
One of the things I liked most about your channel was the photography. I'm an amateur photographer, who actually sells my stuff, and likes to camp in spots off the beaten path just for the photography. In fact, I've outfitted myself similar to how you've set up...course, I'm on a much smaller budget therefore my equipment is not up to par compared to what you've got. Anyhow, I understand your channel is also listed as "camping" and you've got to review certain products related to camping...especially products from your sponsors. All that being said, when are you going to do more photography related videos? You're a good photographer and your photography is inspiring...to me. I really look forward to your videos and inspiration. I'll soon be out in the boonies, like you, to get in those rarely seen photos. By the way, I've viewed most of your videos and I believe this is the first time I didn't get to see your dogs. How are they doing? Thanks for the review and maybe I'll see you out there (I'm in eastern Nevada).
Always love your reviews. Biggest problem with jackery is the charge time.
charged mine at home before I needed it... no problem...held the charge really well for days until I used it just to run it down in a test
I think this will be a great option for me. I want to get a ridge and run it for multiple days off grid but I often switch between my Subaru and Jeep depending on the trip.
I just ordered the 240 and the 100w solar panels.
I used your codes and they worked!
Thanks brother.
Not when I tried today...
Thank you for your time sir
Thanks Jason for sharing this video, interesting and informative.👍
Thanks for the info
so, the flashlight... hike down to do some work on the laptop at Greyhound Rock near Santa Cruz... thank me later, you will come back after dark.. but otherwise yes, crazy. that was a good test, the heat gun, but probably ok like you say with an A/C ... Great Review, thanks brother
Thank you. I was going to get one to run my fridge.
Love the videos
Sweet, and we're talking about Jackery. Was just introducing my wife to why we need one.
@bubba bug know this is over 1000 dollars
thank you
I'm one of your budget minded viewers and made one of those solar generators for less than $200. That Jackery explorer sells for $999. I used a large Camco battery box ($13), cut a hole for an all in one panel with dual USB port, cigarette socket , and voltmeter ($14 ) , 12 volt deep cycle AGM battery ($100), PMW charge controller ($10), 400 watt modified sine wave inverter ($39). You can get a windy nation 100 watt glass rigid panel that weighs only 16 lbs for $75 with free shipping. There is almost nothing that pricey jackery can do that my box won't. Lithium batteries of course are much lighter than lead acid batteries granted. It runs my 12 volt compressor refrigerator and charges anything via the USB ports. The AC inverter is nice for small appliances that need 110 volts. Most of these parts are from eBay, battery and case from Walmart. The box is not much bigger than your jackery but weighs a lot more (45 lbs vs 22 lbs). Sorry I had to weigh in when I see such an expensive item that was pretty easy to make yourself. This box can be easily modified if you need a full wave inverter with a higher wattage. An optional wattmeter can also be installed if you need to see the power consumption of your draw. The windy nation panel seems to charge my battery much faster (3 - 4 hours) as it has a higher output than the jackery panel.
Peak output is not designed for consistent output only short peak draws, so I think that part is working fine.
They do need to resolve the visual output speed of the wattage usage. That concerns me that some corners may have been taken. No reason that wattage info shouldnt be more realtime.
Good review Jason
It's more informational than scientific. If you need something super exact you should get a tool designed for it.
And yes Jason doesn't understand the difference between sustained output and peak output.
Was waiting to see how long it would take for the 1000 to show up :)
I own the 500 purchased the Renogy 100w panel with the igreeny adapter got about 60watt in put, happy with that might add another panel, but I think 60 watts is all it would take.
Great review; now I have the Jackery 1000, and two Saga 100W SP's.
I also have a Dual Battery System; Managed by a Painless 250Amp weatherproof control system, two AGM 900CCA, toss in my upgraded 150 amp alternator and a 400W power inverter mounted in the center counsel I still come in about $400 less than the Jackery Bundle. Now what I don't hear on any review is the operating temp - Direct from Jackery CS - use and store the E1000 within an ambient temperature 0-40℃ (32-104°F). Since I have winter camping trips planned with a Hot Tent and Ice Fishing I had to pick up a Back up power system from Costco - Yahama SC2300i.
Do I have any regrets - absolutely not...The Jackery will be my primary power source as long as I keep it in the posted temp range.
Considering getting a Jackery for our camping set-up. Looking at the 500. Thanks for the review. What Jackery are you currently using?
I have a 250 and it has a delay in showing the wattage. The more wattage I"m using the slowing it seems to be
I just watched another video test of the 500. The guy plugged in his fridge to it which after an initial spike of 70w to cool it the fridge ran for about 60 hours at 2w without shutting off.
Great product review!
As for power support for the Jackery, couldn't you support power for it by way of Solar package? (Maybe I missed that)
Also, I wonder Goldzero has the shut-off issue?
Thanks for the great review. That big Jackery would be a lot easier than adding another battery.
It's way easier, especially if all your wanting to do is run a fridge and charge a few accessories, I definitely feel its the way to go. Plus, and added benefit is it can be used outside the vehicle.
Jason
I’m just gonna have to use my inverted generator for now.
I tried to purchase the 1000 bundle that included 2 solar panels but your discount isn’t working!
FYI...It is 4/2/2020 and not available on the Jackery site or Amazon. Don't know if the COVID-19 outbreak is affecting availability or if there was a product launch delay.
This is the one I am looking for. I have Engle fridge 40l. Do you know how long this battery can run?
Dream battery. 😍
Jackery 500, as per their manual shuts off the dc port after 6 hrs of sub 10 watt draw. Did they update their 500 ?
That would be awesome for doing your editing work for your videos. Dennis from Delaware
Hi my name is Rich. So what would happen if you hooked a small battery charger to that then to the battery it is working off of to keep the main battery charged up. Thanks
No solar power bank is perfect, but depending on what application you’re using it for, you might want a certain brand or type. I bought one of these because it’s lightweight, and considering I live in a Ford Transit Connect, keeping that gas mileage at 30 mpg is essential.
Can you use ANY solar panels to charge this unit? I wan't the flexible 250 panel. Jackery only sells the 100. I don't have the room on my roof for more panels.
Hello can either of these run my. 115 volt/60hz AC mini fridge? Also on the fridge Manuel it states that the fridge is not designed to be used with an inverter. Is that a problem when buying a jackery? It has 60 Watts
Is it better to use the ac outlet or the 12 volt outlet when running the fridge? Any benefits one over the other?
Jason, how do you connect 2 of the 100w Solarsaga panels to the unit at once?
Hi Jeff, we will come out with an adaptor that can connect two 100W solar panels together in parallel in the near future.
Yeah I don't know much about all that stuff but I guess it would be a good idea to have one of those around for sure but I would say probably having dual battery system or even more is always better anyway another great video my friend you and your travel companions please take care of yourselves cheers
I do like a good dual battery system, but I have over twice the amount of money invested into my dual battery system over what this Jackery costs. If I wasn't turning the van into a mobile office and all I needed to do was run my fridge and charge a few accessories this would be the route I would take hands down, cheaper, safer and easier.
Jason
@@PrimalOutdoors Jason these are a lot of things that I am going to have to come across as my project will soon start hand-built cabover camper lots of money to save and lots of decisions on the build itself shower no shower air No Air you know how far do I want to go in the build how much do I want to haul you know you've already done it and you're redoing it again so I totally understand anyway brother you take care and keep making those videos
Very GOOD. Man
Any idea if the Jackery will come with European AC ports?
Jackery is only available in Czech for the time being in Europe: jackery.cz
Which refrigerator are you looking at using?
Fire pit from amazon?
Thanks
Wonder how long it would work on a portable fridge.
That Solo fire pit has seen some use, hasn't it? does it still gassify? It's not doing so in the video.
it has to be loaded properly to gassify which if you look you will see it wasn't, when loaded properly works just fine.
Correction: but first, thanks for your review and cinematography. Now the correction: it’s called the Jackery 1000, not the Jackery 1400 or 2000. It is meant to be able to give sustained 1000 output, not sustained 1200 nor sustained 1400. The 2000 “peak” rating is just that: momentary peak, for startup surge, so of course it will shut down somewhere above 1000 if you try to hold it above. Peak means peak not sustained. Peace.
I am glad you enjoyed the review, but you misunderstood the point of the test was to show what it was capable of, I was clear in saying it's 1000 watt inverter but was trying to point out that it was capable of running a bit above that, I never said it failed because it shut off at 1400. I have found it is pretty capable of sustaining 1100 to 1200 understanding that is rated for 1000.
Jason
Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography Outstanding. And thanks again. Great stuff.
I bought mind 6 month ago, I've been able to set up my wireless security cameras in places that the power cord for the cameras can't reach an outlet. And yes it would shut off if it doesn't see and voltage use for a certain amount of hours, I didn't know it was after 3 hrs. Now I know. 😁
Do you think this product would power a mini frig? I'm looking for one to power it so I can store my wife's meds during hurricane season. Thanks for your help.
as long as its under a 1000 watts
Can you leave appliances running through it while charging it through a solar panel?
yeah it will keep running them, until it automatically shuts off after the time limit (12 hours?) if under 10 amps in a port like he said
It will run all the DC ports and AC while charging.
Have you compared this to Ecoflow products. 1300 Watt Hour Units that charge to 80% in an hour... plus can run a household refrigerator.
Hello, I watch your channel as often as I can and enjoy them. I have a couple of questions for you. Are you from Oregon? I am from Corvallis, but haven't been there since I was 2 years old. I'm moving back to Oregon this may. I would like t meet up and possibly do some overlanding. I don't know any places at all and my kids and I sure miss doing the outdoor activities. keep up the good videos!
Hey There - Jason is out of Bend, Oregon and usually can be found within about 100 miles of there. Casey on Coyote Works channel also travels that area. I don’t have a channel yet but I’m a couple hours south and west of them. I’m telling you all this as my way of saying that I’m sure any of us would be more than happy to meet up with you out here in Oregon. So there you have it lol Between the three of us we cover from Bend to Crater Lake and a 100 miles either side of hwy 97 basically right down the middle of the state.
Cheers mate and happy trails
@@prepperjonpnw6482 thanks! I'm excited to get back to my home state! I am looking forward to meeting up with everyone. I seen a couple of coyote works vids. Would be great to meet him also!👍 I guess this is the best way to get a hold of you guys for now. And thanks for replying!
can you run a 8000 BTU portable AC unit??
I tried to use primal1000 and it said invalid code
Always great to hear your perspective! Where is this camping location? I'm always looking for different places near the water. Would please DM me? Thanks!
My complaint too ! Starts with nice view of the river and area . . . never says where ! ! You must need to be a regular viewer of his channel ?
@@richardhobbs9038 my comments wasn't meant as a complaint. I understand why he may not want to disclose the location publicly which is why I asked for a DM. With that said, I haven't received a response.
@@nguyenchester - I saw a comment somewhere below that it is central Oregon, USA . Ah-haa ! see below . . .

Ok, So a microwave might be kinda pushing it with this unit. Dometic fridge though should be ok. I like the way you described it as a "back up" for your main inverter, like for quick, small watt draw scenarios. 13 amp circular saw, nope.
If someone would invent a USB powered A/C unit, we'd be set!!!
Can you use this while your charging it ?
Yes
Your code isn't working for me on either site.
I always wanted something that could handle a shop vac. A small one at that. Wish the outlet on my 2019 Tacoma could handle a shop vac.
The truck is better bro, the van looks kind of creepy....
100% disagree, have used vans for work and play for decades. So much more convenient than a pick up or SUV.
Hey cool video, however your promotional codes do not work on Amazon or Jackery's website.
I heard that ALL promotional codes were deactivated because of C19.
Just tried the promo code and it no longer seems to be valid on amazon nor their website. Even though they no longer work, still a fan of the channel.
Can u use it while charging with solar or dc?
Yes. You can charge and use this at the same time note this is not a generator. This is a big battery bank generators can make energy on demand as this is a portable battery. I bought 1 its cool. Im testing it now. Im running my ps4 and my 65 inch 4k smart tv. One hour of use for both connected at 100% it used about 17 percent for 1 hour. Thats my example. I bought a diffrent brand solar panel for 245 at 325 watts. The jackery has a small inverter/charge controller. It can charge at a max of 120 watts per hour. My panel is plenty large enough. Still caps the charge speed at 120 watts max. This being said only about 80-90% of your solar panel is going to put out what is listed. This being said also haha allows 120 watts max when in optimal su light. Ps. I charged this to 100% yesterday in a snow storm. Still charged it!
what is the Amp/hr capacity?
It's 46.4 Amp/hr capacity.
Nice thanks! =Cosmo
Only 30 Vdc Max input to the MPPT Controller must be why they run the Solar Panels in parallel which defeats the point of using the MPPT Controller in the first place.
Whooo first comment...on anything ever! Love the channel been waiting for a video to watch with my dog lol:)
HAhaha thats funny stuff
@12:13 So that's the reason my 500 wouldn't run the 12v fridge overnight. I've bought a 1000 (waiting for delivery) . So I'll just have to restart it before I go to sleep.
does it work well with your fridge? I'm looking at running a 40watt DC fridge in my van
@@stevejeffrey11 ...The Jackery 1000 runs my ICECO 45 just fine. I just need another 100 watt panel for clouy days.
To anybody concerned with the auto shutoff. If you own a dometic there is a small usb plug next to the display panel. Plug in a low power light to this usb to keep the power on. The light will act as an indicator for the fridge being on / off. BOL
I have a dumb question:
While you're driving,
can the truck recharge the Jackery, while the Jackery is also running the fridge?
Thank you for the informative video though.
I bought the 1000 and only b/c I remember reading that you can charge and use the outlets at the same time... I believe they call it run through power.. hope that helps
Hi... New Subbie. I just got mine.. and Let Me tell You It was WORTH EVERY PENNY on it!! I have been able to cook with my 3Qt Mini INSTANT POT DUO pressure cooker Today I made Spaghettis with It .. I never knew that was Possible! with a pressure cooker SPECIALLY! attached to a Battery Power Station. What a mind blower. I still have not tried the battery with my DOMETIC Fridge. Gotta get it out of storage. One thing I need to know Is How do I attached My RENOGY 100 Watt Suitcase Solar Panel to it? The connections are different. I also have the Rockpals 100 watt Foldable. solar and that does come with various Plug in Tips including the 8mm Jackery requires. TFS Stay Safe & God Bless :O)
No Van Yet :))) BE SAFE !!!
timed load every 12 hours? how about load cycles for the battery?
what is the maximum current in the mppt port?
you did not clearly state how much kWh the battery can store, 20V * 10A * 8h = 1.6kWh?
@@Jkauppa It can store 1002Wh (21.6V * 46.4Ah)
@@Jkauppa The max input current is 8A.
It's uncertain how many loads cycle every 12 hours because it depends on the rated power of the device you charge with the Jackery.
I’m staying with my Goal Zero 1400 because I can recharge it from O% to 100% in 3 hours. There’s nothing Unique about the jackery. The bottom line is goal Zero Design and Develop and all others just copy from Goal Zero’s technology
The biggest selling point for the jackery is the low weight for sure.
TCircuitry don’t forget Jackery has the best customer service in the game.
I agree that the 1400 is a better unit for heavy use.....but at almost twice the cost and the weight of the Jackery 1000.
Another $100 for the Goal Zero MPPT Charge Controller. The Jackery has one built in. I have two Jackery’s, the 1000 and 500 and love em.
@@ChatGPT1111 can't decide between the jackery 500 and 1000 for my camper van for charging some low watt devices (phone, laptop 65watts) & power a 12V diesel heater (7-9 amps on start up, less than 1 amp while running), possibly could run an efficient fridge too
“Can it power a fridge” 15 min in, talks about powering a fridge for 15 seconds
Can you charge that thing off an exercise bike? 😈 Actually I just picked up a E1000 and 2 100 watt solar panels and I am very pleased with this acquisition. There is probably a personal sized wind turbine that can charge it too.
I wonder how long I could run my CPAP with it.
I can get several nights (4+) of CPAP use with the 440 or 500 using the DC cable.
@@RMAC81 Thanks buddy!
@@Mfirefighter14 No problem! I have the AirSense 10. I usually use the 440 for lights etc, and the 500 up in the RTT for my CPAP & iPhone
I have the dreamstation.
Good review but that white hair was driving me crazy 😂
The EcoFlow Delta blows the Jackery away. Much more powerful inverter and lightening fast recharging. Better prices too. I have two Delta’s and four portable solar panels. Light weight and a lot of power
I have been looking at every review on the 1000. My question is say you have a storm and it knock out the power. Is it enough to do a regular size refrigerator, an window unit, and charge a cell phone?
no, a regular kitchen fridge is well over 1000w startup/peak power.
I disagree with you about running a 12v fridge on the previous models and the cut off issue. You just simple plug into the Jackery a small fan or something minimal to get the watt usage up enough to avoid the cutoff - problem solved. I have the Jackery 500 and 160 and the 500 and I run my ICECO GO20 fridge/freezer with no issues. You need to have mentioned that the 12v port is regulated. Also, instead of charging via the cigarette light output on your car, plug in an inverter and charge the Jackery via AC and it will charge faster. I love my Jackery units. I did a video review of the Jackery 500 for them.
By the way, my ICECO GO20 ran all night on my Jackery 160 because it uses a little more power and does not run into the cut off issue. Some 12v fridges have power settings that can help with the issue.
Based on your comment I still don't believe the smaller units are a good solution for a fridge, you shouldn't have to run another device just to keep the thing on, but its cool that you found a work around👍.
Jason
@@PrimalOutdoors I was suggesting that technique for "some" 12v fridges. My ICECO GO20 ran all night on a Jackery 160 WITHOUT running something else, so obviously, something is different. It is a much higher quality 12v fridge than most with the Danfoss compressor, so who knows? But if just running a little something with a USB or whatever gets the job done, then a user does not have to spend more for a larger unit when they do not need it. The bigger units do to work with some people's budgets. Just saying.
How long will it run my van refrigerator for !! Every video on these units shows people changing mobile phones and laptops these do not hardly take any power at all to charge ?
1000 watt hours is around 80 amp hours, most 12 volt fridges use anywhere from 1.5ah to 5 ah so you might get around 2 days with the fridge cycling on and off, but it also depends on the ambient temp.
not worth the money consider the long charging time around 2 days and always not fully charge
I shaved mine off, but Jason can get some just for men if it bothers him.
As long as it will power my coffeemaker, I’m good. My 240 won’t run it...very disappointing.
Watch out for Samsquanch.
