Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus 400W 2042Wh LiFePO4 Battery 3000W Output Portable Power Station with 2X200W Solar Panel

Wanted something for home use that will be cycled often. I have several batteries I use for camping (2000pro for 1-2 nights, 3000pro plus solar panels for longer trips and a 1000pro for small devices). I do plan on using this (2000plus) for summer camping trips if I take my portable AC with me. PROS: -as with all Jackery products its very simple to operate -LifePO4! -ability to run 240v with two 2000plus linked together using a Jackery connector -expandable up to 24kwh! -massive 3000w inverter -30amp RV outlet -Jackery App allows monitoring/controlling of the 2000plus or the 3000pro from any location (away from your home) as long as they are connected to your home Wi-Fi. It will allow for quite charging as well which brings down charge rate from around 1800watts to 750+ watts -fast charging thru AC or solar panels -5 year warranty -built in charger (no more power bricks to carry) -a couple of 100w PD ports for charging high end laptops -retractable handle and wheels make it easier move the unit around Cons: -The cable to connect the battery pack to the main unit is huge and sticks out ~18 inches. If Jackery is reading this, please come up with an angled connector so the units can be placed closer to the wall!!! Note: -Since this is a LifePO4 battery, the app will no longer allow you to use “Battery Saving Mode” option. Charge to 100% or discharge to 0% and it will not damage the battery. Currently only the 3000pro has “Battery Saving Mode” option. -The battery pack cannot be used as a stand-alone unit as there are no output ports. To charge the battery pack using AC, it must be attached to the 2000plus. However, you can use up to 6 Solar saga 200s to charge this unit without the need to attach to the 2000plus ( there are 2 solar inputs at the back of the battery pack) -When charging or using the batteries, both the main unit and battery pack charges/discharges at the same time. Tip: - Bluetooth and Wi-Fi shuts down after 5 minutes when no connection is detected or if connected device goes out of range from the unit. To turn it back on, simply press AC and DC buttons at the same time for 3 seconds and you will be able to reconnect with the Jackery App. Overall it’s a solid product that is intended for home use. For the camping crowd, weekend warriors or for folks who does not cycle thru the battery daily I highly recommend the Jackery PRO line because it weighs ~40% less than LifePO4. Read more

So...we lost power a few weeks ago and our daughters beloved Bearded Dragon was suddenly without his one true love...which is his heat lamp. It's winter and the lizard needs his heat and UV lamp. Anyway, we had a different battery box and when the power came back on, it was obvious it wasn't enough for more than a couple hours and so our daughter bought this unit for black Friday. It took less than 70 mins to have a full charge (29% charge on arrival) via wall outlet. We have panels but she wanted to get it set up ASAP. The unit is solid, and I also mean it's heavy, it has wheels for a reason, use them. She now uses this unit multiple hours per day as we're on a time of use power plan, and this allows her dragon unfettered lamp time without the higher electricity bills. It's will pay for itself within the first year and as it should last for over 10 years, it maths out well. In summary: her dragon is coddled and he will have his heat/UVA/UVB source. We're looking to get one for house hold appliances and travel as well. Read more

When I am doing yard work, handyman jobs, and other duties, I often resort to my power tools. The battery powered ones are fine, but for long lasting heavy duty power, I need a direct power line. I used to use gasoline powered tools, but they are noisy and environmentally horrible. So, I defaulted to many battery backup systems. Unfortunately, even the best of them don't have the stamina of a direct powered tool. I was recently removing concrete from a floor and needed my DeWalt rotary hammer. It is great when using it with a chisel tip. However, it only works off a direct power line. I do have a rotary hammer drill that is battery powered, but is doesn't have the staying power or the oomph. The Jackery solves all my problems. I charge it up and wheel it to the job site. It will power my electric systems for hour on end. Full power and no issue with small batteries overheating or dying. I have a Honda 5000 watt generator that is sort of quiet that I used to wheel to the job. Now, I use this Jackery. The system is easy to use, I can wheel it, and it's weight is easily manageable if it is picked up. It definitely was a good purchase. Read more

Great product. Two weeks after purchasing had a 12 hour power failure. Te unit ran 4 led room lights rated at 800 lumens for 12 hours so my wife could do knitting to stay occupied. Charged two cell phones and provided emergency charging for my vhf/uhf HT if needed. Power consumption was only 15% according to the display but all the lights are led. Very satisfied with the product. Read more
