1 - 200 watt panel WILL NOT charge the 2000 watt base station in 2 hours from zero. Let alone the add on pack. The estimate of 2 hours from Jackery is based on at least 6 200 watt panels in perfect sun light. $700 for each panel currently, so a whopping $4200 for the panels to charge just the base in 2 hours. Not saying that’s bad, it’s on par but don’t mislead the audience that they can snag this thing with one panel and it’s fully charged in a couple hours.
I don't think I said that - it was a slip of the tongue if I did - I certainly didn't mean to say it. I have another video using the 6 x 200W panels, so do have experience of this. Thanks for pointing it out
Thanks. Yes, if they're both flat it will take double the time to charge. Remember that unlike with Ecoflow, the expansion battery can also be charged on its own using solar or 12v - you don't have to charge via the 2000 Plus
Thanks for the confirmation @@CampingSecretsUK in my current reality I need to charge it three times a day. Not a predictable use case let's say) Anyways it works great and gets charged very quickly and 4000 cycles of lifepo4 is just a great feature.
You can, but they make it tricky as you need conversion cables to get to the correct connector type. You also need to watch the power and voltage (1.2kW and 60v max).
Roughly £13k will buy you the 2000 Pro plus and the 5 batteries aswell as 6 x 200w solar panels giving you 12256 Watts of power well worth the cash 3 extention leads around your home and boom fully offgrid set up
Yup! The only problem in the UK is cloud. Without direct sunlight you're unlikely to get more than 50w per panel. You've also got to keep optimising the angle of the panel which can be irritating
Do you remember whether the Bluetooth and WiFi were on when you unboxed it? Have you seen any way to turn them off? I really want to get the 2000 Plus Dual for 240v capability, but I can't have those transmissions on. I've tried to phone them, but so far I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone to ask.
@@alisakelemen9281 I contacted the company and this was the response. The Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro offers the ability to toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off. To accomplish this, simply press and hold both the DC and AC buttons simultaneously for one second. This action will deactivate the Bluetooth module, thereby interrupting the connection. I have since purchased and it works beautifully!
@@alisakelemen9281 I bought it so I know have the ACCURATE answer. When you power it on, bluetooth and WiFi come on. They search for a signal for 5 minutes and if none is found, they shut off and stay off. But, you can hold the AC and DC button at the same time and turn them both off (or on for those who may want to do that). What I do is power on, immediately hold the AC and DC buttons, and shut off the bluetooth and WiFi. They stay off.

The best review and showing of a Solar battery pack/generator or any solar system! THE BEST!!! THEY OUGHT TO PAY YOU EVERYTIME THIS IS WATCHED, (JACKERY, THAT IS)!!
3:00 I bought my 1000+ from Amazon and the warranty was three years as you described. However, if you register your Jackery(s) you get the extra two years.
The thing that is selling me is the charge time I have an early version of a 2000w 2048ah with lithium batteries thing takes 10 hours to fully charge ac and get this 18 hours solar and it is starting to drain faster day by day having me to run my gas generator for 10 hours just to charge where as this jackery 2000plus with 2 x solar panels is on sale and I can finance it the 2 hr charge time sounds so much better over the 10hour I'm dealing with now. Plus I can upgrade it later and add a battery and charge the power station I have with solar or how ever and use them both.
Had the Anker 767 in mind for the handle and wheels, but liked the Bluetti for the waterproof socket covers, and like the Jackery Pro for the least weight ...... but now we have the Jackery Plus, and it's big capacity and WHEELS. Oh, pubic difficult choice.
Hi I seen a deal with a company and it’s was jackery 2000pro and 200 solar and I went for it and and it was on Facebook and they sent it and they gave me a tracking number and it got lost in post and the company said they going to re send me a new one and then they said they be giving me a new tracking number and I did not hear from them since 28-09-2023 and I have not had an email from them since I sent them email and email nothink

Have you tried to run a two in one heating colling on it or is that above the amount ? If so how long does it last?
Nice review. Have you been able to check whether the expansion module increases the charging time from the mains from 2 hours to 4?

Answering my own question. With 1 battery pack added charging time still less than 2 hours
@@oktuberfest wow that's great to know. I was completely wrong which teaches me a valuable lesson. Don't pontificate on stuff I know nothing about!
Can you plug standard PV panels (from your roof) into the 2000 plus during a down grid situation?

@CampingSecretsUK this is true but solar runs of light obv the more the sun The better you could also stick it on a motor that will follow the sun 👍

That's great to know - seems like 5-6 years is standard now. You liking your 1000+?
@@CampingSecretsUK while we will be taking it camping its primary purpose for now is for emergency preparedness. Great unit.
How long would it run a 500 Watt fan heater from full Base station charge? Same question for the 2000 pro please.
The fan uses 500watts 500watts an hour jackery stores 2000wh 2000/500 = 4 hours

yes but to get 2.5 hrs charge you need 6 solar panels wich will cost £3774 plus the jackery £2000
Thank you for the info!
does anyone know the max number of solar panels can be linked together?
If you're using the Jackery panels, it's six
How many solar panels comes with just the Jackery explorer 2000 plus (without battery pack)
@@tmttkseven3328it’s the same amount, you just finish the charge faster. It’s how Jackery set it up (max input voltage from the solar).

Yup, the landscape is getting quite competitive. I still like the 2000 Pro for camping due to its size and weight

Sorry to hear that Daniel. What company was it? Hope you haven't been scammed
Dispute the transaction with your bank. Facebook is not where you should buy this stuff.
There are scammers claiming to be Jackery with fake websites. Verify where you bought it from as you may need to reverse the charges.
