I have so much gratitude for this channel. I'm getting in late on this lifestyle and am so thankful that I don't have to make ANY expensive "rookie mistakes" thanks to videos like this. This community is so awesome. Thanks CheapRVliving, you have saved me literally thousands of dollars, taught me so much, and introduced me to a truly diverse, caring, and intelligently introspective community.
Prices on power stations have come waaaaaaay down. Easy to find them for $0.40-$0.50 per Wh
They must give you one for nothing
Nice to know.. thank you..😃
Bob, when you buy a jackery off eBay, is there a way to know if they are sending you a brand new jackery or if it's a used one without much power left in it ?
It doesn't last because it was meant for emergencies like power outage in a rain or snow storm. It wasn't designed for everyday living use.
I sent back a Jackery 1000 Pro after listening to you and realizing that the $1500 power station would have to be replaced in a few years! 😱 l bought a Bluetti instead.
Finally someone not sponsored by Jackery! so he is honest and knowledgeable.. thank you!
My electric bill was $450. One month. Jackery would be cheaper. Thanks for info
I think 🤔 I 'll just stay with my gas generator. Something that's going to run my air conditioner and not fail me, When it's a 110 degrees or 10 below 0 stuck in the mountains ? But, I'm not afraid to try anything new and I'm not spending thousands of dollars to see if it really works ? Thanks for sharing your videos and always being honest.
i JUST BOUGHT A USED ONE FOR 160.00 jACKERY 500 i WOULD NEVER BUY A NEW RETAIL PRICE~!
I just got my 1000 Pro! It came with 21% charge and it only took 1 hour and 20 minutes to charge to 100% Amazing! I charged my iPhone from 61% to 100% and the Jackery still had 100% charge left. It was pulling 8 watts! This will definitely power my needs now that I’ll be living off the grid again! Great investment 👍
I need a power station that will run a 12 volt fridge or / cooler what do you recommend on a budget
Thanks for this honest review. Greetings from eastern Europe
Renology has a real good solar panel my question is are they compatible with the jackery?
I got the bluetti e3ba and it was around the same price but i read that the bluetti lasts much much longer then the jackery
There are dozens of cheaper options than jackery. I would pick the best of both worls, a solid 100w panel which is 80 dollars and a 500wh power station is $ 200 or so these days.
Thank you thank you for this info. I may end up homeless later this year so info is timely. No way I can afford Jackery. You help so many with your info.
A lot of people living in abundance are willing to pay for the ease and convenience of a jackery. Time and energy are more important and money is easily made and readily available for some of us. For people who live in a lack mentality counting every nickel and dime; maybe his way is better.
Anker panels are $329.
500 cycles means draining the battery from 100% to 0%….That should not happen on a daily basis…If it does, then you need a larger system!!! Also, after the 500 cycles, the battery is still good, but it does not charge to 100%, only to 80%. Do some research before you try to give a review on anything!!!
Couldn't agree more, The Jackery 2000 is priced at $2299 today on Amazon. I built a 24 volt LiFePO4 system with more capacity, stronger 24V Pure Sine Inverter, Mppt Charger, all the wires, fuses, a 24 volt to 12 volt converter etc for just under $1000. Mines not in a pretty Orange box but it does more for a lot less.
I got the jackery, but not the solar panel. I just need it for occasional weekend conventions, craft shows, camping.
I just need something super cheap to run a simple fan , I live in my RaV 4 , not cause it's trendy , because I got evicted in 2020 and have to , it gets hot here in Louisiana and I'm on a budget
Right on the money, my opinion is Jackery is only recommended on youtube by people getting free ones to advertise!
It its not a lifepo4, don't buy it! The thousands of additional charges a lifepo4 gives you for the same price is the way to go!
I just need something to charge my ham radio and cell and some small rechargeable devices. And this review is not entirely accurate about cycles.
Would this cycle a typical sized sump pump for several cycles per hour?
Wow so sounds like you want dollar store cheap not going to happen at all in one cost$ but you wanted a warranty not a fan of higher prices but sometimes it is better who has ton of time to look at it all compare prices but sometimes how time is involved
Thank you 🙂SOOO much!!
I wanna see what you think of their 300
I had the Jackery in my cart ready to buy when I came across this video. I have changed my mind but I wouldn't say you specifically changed it, what you said that got me is that all the components are contained in the Jackery. Then I got to thinking that I've tinkered all my life and one thing for sure with any setup, at some point something is going to fail, not just that but you may want to upgrade one item, such as inverter. You're much better off with all your components separate, so at any time you can upgrade or replace a failing part. The Jackery purchase was just me being lazy. I've decided to build my system instead and I will support Renogy, I have a great respect for anyone (or company) who are generous to those in need. Also if you've read this far then you are stuck hearing me tell the story of my Uncle who just celebrated his 105th birthday sitting on his front porch in a chair I built for him using lumber off his property. That man has always given to anyone in need, he'll go looking for someone to give to, yet he has never needed for anything and now in his old age there are people clamoring to see him and do something for him every day. You don't have to believe in anything, but trust me, blessings and karma are real wherever they may come from!
Santa is liveing in a van ?
My 12v plug in promaster failed
I have the jackery 1000
Before that EcoFlow river car charger melted
Wonder if I’m the only one
Solar panel and ac charger work fine but have a brand new promaster
Do you know if others have had this same troubles?
Looks like I may have to pay for 8 hrs plus diagnostic to find problem the van only has 6600 miles on it
Frustrating
Maybe just a video on how to know draw of 12v plug and if it can damage your vehicle
Otherwise find jackery good
It might be me but it seems that youtube took away the upload date of these videos
I know less than nothing about solar power and I have a question. Probably the dumbest question anyone has ever asked on the subject. But is there a system where you can manually adjust the angle of the panels to account for the position of the sun? Like, if you were traveling east to west all day, angle the panels to tip left, then change the angle the next day when you head back? Is that a thing?
Thank you so much
Is it hard to get the part that charges from your engine while it's running also?
The Jackery is a terrible product that fails and the company does not stand behind the product. Terrible company. Purchase something else.
So what about a inverter? Also could I get a list of exactly what I need to buy?
