    Disconnect your battery from the SUV. It may reset the security system. Smell is the first thing to know if it is fried. I know it sounds elementary but that is how we found the bad sots the fastest in aircraft. NOW I held off commenting until I watched it all! You are smart because you know your limitations! This is how you learn! Great video!

    Hearing your description, Monique, I'm now 100% convinced that I didn't fry my car for a very simple reason, the inline fuse in the Blue Sea ciggy plugs stopped the reverse flow into the ciggy socket.
    I was only after blowing a few of those I realized that I was mixing 12V and 24V through the 8mm barrell Y-connector ( my bright idea to mix a/c power brick and 12V ciggy). Anyway I skated by sheer luck (and andrunning out of fuses).
    Anyone reading this take heed of other people's experience. Thanks for making the vid.

      Fuses do not stop reverse power flow. Physically not possible. But there should be DIODES built into every power bank, which ensures the power can only come IN the input, and go OUT the output.
      If your Jackery simply uses the same "cigarette lighter" socket both to charge the car battery AND to let the car charge the battery, that's dangerous. The car, or the power bank, should have protection against this.
      Most cars in the US simply connect the lighter socket to the battery. Some disconnect it when the engine is off.
      You'd need to deeply explore the car and the Jackery to find out which one is at fault.
      It could simply be the Jackery supplied/drew simply too much power. Cigarette lighter sockets usually are protected, in the car, by just a 10 Amp fuse.

      @@lyfandeth I’m guessing two input might be in series so even with the diodes, the power flows one way,,, which includes both input plugs. The 12v in the trunk is off when the engine is off. So can I assume the 12v plug doesn’t have a safety or diodes to prevent power flowing INTO the socket..? 12v sockets should only provide output..

  • @forwimp
    @forwimp 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    My 20 years as an electronic technician says this is absolutely Jackery's fault. Those 2 inputs should have been diode isolated at the very least. They also could have used input jacks that disconnect the other input when the cable is plugged in. Further than these 2 ideas, those power inputs should go through completely different input voltage control circuits. Jackery's engineers should have designed it with this scenario in mind. This is what they invited every average customer to do. I'd sue them if this happened to me. They have product liability insurance for goofs like this. This same situation is why only licensed electricians can setup solar panels on a house to feed into the house's wiring. They use expensive isolators to prevent this from happening. I'll never buy or recommend Jackery after seeing this video.

    You should use blocking diodes if you’re mixing multiple inputs, but for something as big as a Jackery 2000, don’t use the cigarette plug to charge it, run a direct wire to the alternator/starter battery and use something like a Victron 12/24-30 to charge it. With it I can charge my Ecoflow River 2 Pro at the maximum of 220W instead of 60 to 80 from the 12V plug.

  • @adventuresintruckland
    @adventuresintruckland 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    It sounds like you pushed the higher voltage of the solar panels (~25 volts) into the vehicle's electrical system. I hope everyone understands that solar panels are not actually 12 volts. They have an open circuit voltage of 24 volts and up. This is why a charge controller is required.

    • @OverlandLady
      @OverlandLady  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Good conclusion. The controller at 1:19 shows that there’s 20v.. jackery battery can take it but I just didn’t think it will feed into the vehicle as it was an input plug not output… clearly I didn’t know anything about electrical safety.

    • @adventuresintruckland
      @adventuresintruckland 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @OverlandLady be careful using things like splitters/combines. Electricity 101: connected in series the voltage is increased exponentially. Two panels = double voltage etc. Parallel connections are recommended if you don't understand electricity. Never connect solar panels directly to circuitry. Always through a charge controller. Other connections must be independent of the charge controller input. The charge controller will output a charge voltage of around 14 volts.

    With today's computer dependent cars, you have to be really aware of frying things. This is a good heads up with so many people having these battery stations. Glad you were able to fix things. Jumping cars is far more dangerous than it used to be, too. Those little jumper battery packs are safer. Basically if either car has a short in a jumping manuever, you can blow up computers. It is safest to charge the "dead" car battery with that car turned off and wait until the battery is charged enough to start the car especially if you don't have a jumper pack: those have some protections built in . . .at least probably most do. I use a solar panel w/charge controller during day light to charge up starter battery, but connected directly to the battery and ground and only when the car is off. AC plug in for bad weather.

  • @SiCrewe
    @SiCrewe 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    As others have said, this IS a design fault with the little orange doohicky that allows you to connect multiple charging sources to the Jackery.
    The connection from the vehicle's 12v system should be diode-protected (inside the orange doodad) so that power from solar panels can't get into the 12v system.
    I'm no expert in solar power (I live in Britain, where we don't have sun) but I'm pretty sure that the raw output from solar panels is usually around 18v so they should NEVER be connected to a 12v system. regardless of the wattage, unless there's something regulating the voltage.
    Totally sympathise with you about the screen.
    I recently worked on a Mitsu' L200 with a screen that controlled the AC AND the 4WD system.
    That screen dies and you're totally boned.
    I much prefer levers that stick out of the gearbox to control important stuff like that.

    • @criticalevent

    Hi Monique, I'll throw my 2 cents in, it's better to have the solar panels folded or covered and do your wiring connection, then unfold/uncover them this way the voltage comes up slowly for whatever device you're connecting. I do it that way with all my RV solar panels and knock on wood, 10 years no troubles.

    get the manual and check the circuit diagram to see what all is on that fuse. work back and check each part till you find your problem. a good meter saves lives and money.

    I use an allpowers S1500 in my jimny. and I would never plug it directly in a factory standard 12volt socket. most wiring behind such sockets are not made to provide 12v 10A for hours. So you might melted some wire and shorted it out. Also I charge my on 24volt with a DC-DC in between it. and I wired my own cables and fuses from the battery. Also when I car charge I have a relay that turns off the solar. So I don't fry the powerstation by to much power into it.
    are you sure you didn't fry your powerstation board with to much current? you might damaged the board so it send out your solar voltage into your car.

      @@OverlandLady Did you put a meter on it to see if the 12v port is outputting more than 13.5v with the two panels hooked up? If it's outputting 12v when you didn't want it to because of a dumb interface design decision, that's one thing, but if it's out putting 20v+, that's a law suit.

    I believe you had a failure on your jackery the 12-volt input has a one-way diode protection circuit and this would not allow a feedback voltage to go back out through the 12 volt input if there was power fed back through the 12-volt vehicle connection that is a failure in the jackery and I would look into filing a warranty claim with them

    This is a poor design by Jackery, if you have 2 input ports that you can use at the same time, logically you would assume that there are 2 charge controllers. However the manual specifically says not to do this. By the hookup configuration suggestions in the manual, it looks like both plugs are connected together and feed into the same MPPT charge controller. You just sent 40v into your car which fried the computer.

      @@OverlandLady The JA-CA3SA connects the panels in series. Even says it on the back. Solar Series Connector. But to be sure I would double check the output voltage of the connector with a multimeter. To prevent this from happening again. I would write on the back of the jackery a reminder not to plug in both at the same time. I do this with any equipment that has weird restrictions. You could also make an adapter that would block the 2nd port when you use the car adapter. That would prevent someone unfamiliar with your setup from plugging in both at the same time.

    PS - I respectfully disagree with tapping into the car's electrical system for infinite or large use. I prefer a Stand-Alone Bluetti to do that The Automotive designers scaled those circuits based on nominal and peak use; exceeding that or connecting unplanned junctions is beyond that.
    But now U do not have to!
    My new Bluetti AC180 cost $549, lasts 3 days on the trail and powers everything from refrig to espresso machine without needing a charge. Bluetti fast charging means under 2 hours in a motel's AC and it is fully charged for another 3 days.

I do not tap into my car at all - no 2nd battery, no isolator circuitry, no extra loads. With the AC180, I don't need to as the Bluetti does it all and it IS a 2nd battery but fully isolated from the car
