The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

      @@hunterm9 While not common there are 12V LiFePo4 sold as starter batteries. Just google them. Higher power output, lower weight, keeps the charge longer when the car is in storae etc so they are gaining in popularity. Sure, they are much more common as battery banks in boats and RVs because of the price but my point is this is likely an of the shelf product packed in a case for a 100% price increase.

    Impressive energy density in that package. I've used SLA batteries about that size and you only get about 72Wh on them (and they're probably a lot heavier too). 1000Wh in that same package, with 2000W peak/1000W continuous current is INSANE (typically, the downside to using LiPo, or similar, batteries is that the current you can pull from them is substantially lower than less energy-dense alternatives).

      You basically just saw that exact same thing. These Jackery amps have solar arrays you can hook up that can basically completely offset the amount of power he was just using. I live the 'digital nomad' life out of a Mercedes Sprinter, and this Jackery plus 4 solar panels keeps my entire 'grid' up. I let it charge while I'm just sitting around or splitting wood for fire or whatever, and I leave the panels plugged in while gaming. I game on an Omen 30L and two 31 inch AOC curved monitors and with my 4 solar panels it charges faster than it consumes. Best part about this set up is that I can even charge it while I'm driving because it came with a 12v cigarette charger. So long story short, with 4 solar panels and having it charge while I drive I use this to power a gaming set up as well as a full 'van life' set up for essentially free.

      North America uses 120volts for a typical wall plug. Europe uses 230-240volts for their wall plugs. I wish 208/230/240 was typical due to amp draw. Note that most homes in the US do have 208/230 volts single phase at their breaker panels which is used for clothes dryers, air conditioner, or other high Amp appliances. I think Canada and Mexico do to. Canada however uses 50hrz whereas US is 60hrz.

      It's more useful for a UPS, where you usually have a data hookup between the battery and the desktop that lets it know if it's on battery or mains, and what the remaining runtime is. That way the computer can go into a power-saving mode to extend your runtime, and automatically hibernate when the battery gets low.

    I got the 880 watt/hour one from Costco as a packaged deal that came with a 280 and a couple of solar panels. I got the big one for a sick elderly parent who relies on an oxygen concentrator to you know...stay alive. Unfortunately the concentrator pulls about 600 watts give or take and has a high inrush current when started so it's not enough to handle the big machine for anything other than a small outage while someone else is there with him to move it to the area with the machine, etc. For his portable OxyGo machine however, this thing will easily add an extra 11 hours and that's on the highest setting. Best part is that we can use the cigarette lighter port so it's just DC to DC and doesn't waste energy on converting to AC and then back down to DC. So far, he's had two 6 hour power outages and we've made use of this thing. He can drag his little machine to where we have this set up next to his chair and plug it in and not use too much energy.
    I do wish that they made these like a UPS power supply where you could just leave the big machine plugged into it and it would automatically kick on when the power goes out. I would have spent the extra $1000 to get the 2000 watt unit if they had something like that and it would buy him an extra 3 hours on his main machine but these are not really set up like that. It has pass-through mode but it will destroy the batteries if used like that.

  • @MotoCat91

    So it's basically just a giant car jumpstart pack (with lower peak output) + AC inverter.. in a more convenient formfactor
    I mean, yeah that's cool and if you're made of money and like camping, would be great to have. But you could make a DIY version using a car battery or two for power storage, lasting longer and allowing higher peak draw, while costing less. It could even jump start your car! (obviously)
    Lead acid battery,
    DC-AC inverter,
    One of those in car 12V socket -> USB power hubs for the 5V output
    + some heavy wiring, fuses/shut off switch for safety, can be rather cheap if you're thrifty.
    Hardest part would be getting/adapting/making an appropriate enclosure, I'd recommend with a little PC fan for ventilation while on, too

    Because you're usually paying a premium just for the included AC inverter. And obviously there are losses going from DC to AC to DC.
    You can get a genuine 40,000 mAh USB powerbank for like $30 now.
    If you buy a couple of those, some USB stand fans (there's some large and good ones now days), usb lights, usb step-up cable to 12v for router, modem etc.
    For those on a tighter budget or striving for efficiency, there's better ways than these all-in-one battery units.
    But for pure convenience and for short-duration, heavy power loads, those all-in-one batteries are neat 👍

      No, what you're really paying for is the cells and design to handle hundreds of watts of output. Those cheapo powerbanks are using low current cells and don't have the circuitry to handle more that ~15W output continuously.
      If you want useful at least compare it to a model with USB-PD capable of charging at laptop at 45-60W or so.

      @@RobCarter04 trust someone who is working with batterysystems for a living. This thing is very overpriced for what it is. Anyone with sufficient knowledge (no need to be a rocketscientist but basic understanding of electricity is mandatory) can chuck something together for a fraction of the price this thing costs and it will be better. Okey, it will look a little bit more "home depot" but it's definitely doable. All this thing has going is that it's ready to use, safetytested and comes in a handy package.

He is in my humble opinion the go to source for everything concerning batterycells in your specific region. Your safetylevels may vary quite significantly from mine as I am operating in europe and some of his suggestions are not allowed in europe but are perfectly fine by US-standards.

    I'd recommend waiting and buying a 2000 Watt portable power station that companies are just now starting to sell. The problem with 1000 Watt output is that a large number of midsize home appliances use between 1000 and 2000 Watts, such as microwaves, space heaters, etc.

    So it's a 1500 VA UPS (never been done before, yeah, right...) but without a pass-through option and costing $1000. I think I'll stick to my APC :)

      Not the same use case at all tho, so not the same product? It mostly for power tools & all, not computers. Off grid, camping, backup when there are outages. You know?

    • @soginvl

      Not quite. The APC 1500 VA UPS stores 108 watt-hours of energy (according to an Amazon Q&A) in its lead acid batteries and weighs 29 lbs. This power station carries 1002 watt-hours of energy in its lithium batteries and weighs 22 lbs. On the other hand, the APC costs about $100 USD while the Jackery 1000 costs $1,000.
      Edit: You can also pass-through charge.

    • @--Lam
      @--Lam Před 3 lety +1

      Well yes, acid batteries are heavy, and no, the UPS or its battery expansion (expanded it will be like half of the Jackery's power at like 3x weight ;)) don't have handles on top, so not a luggable design but not like it's stationary ;) Still waaaay cheaper :)
      In this comment section there are people talking about using it for power losses, CPAPs and in RVs, where really the few more kilos don't matter.
      @soginvl No, it charges from a 24V charger, there's no AC pass-through.
      (Also, my UPS's batteries do charge from a solar panel, just not inside the unit ;))

    Someone will connect the dots and sell the unique opportunity: Buy the Jackery. Makes any desktop a portable. Much better than a laptop, hand truck extra.
