Jackery vs goal zero

Looking at a battery/inverter in one and these two seem to be the top competitors, anyone have any experience and opinion with them? Thanks

 

Happy with my Jackery/Honda 290 except the slow charging on it. Verify the model's charging capacity before buying.

 

I have no personal experience with either, but maybe some information to add. Supposedly Jackery was started by former Apple engineer(s). They seem well-reviewed on Amazon. If I had known the history I would have bought a power bank from them, but instead ended up with an overseas brand that lasted a day. Goal Zero has been around for a while. They were probably one of the first companies in the portable power game. With that said, I see quite a few negative reviews of their items. I also feel like their gear is horribly overpriced for what it is. Thems my .02. Could be worthless.....

 

Subbing. I'm looking for a power bank too. Considering whether to buy something like Jackery or build my own. Seems easy enough to get a LiIon or AGM battery and put in a trickle charger that I could run off the 120v while I'm driving. It would save me from running an isolator and a cable from the front....

Very keenly watching this one.

 

Jackery 500 here. Jackery 250 didn't fair too well running my fridge without needing to charge more frequently. Sent that one back at got the 500 on a recent TW group buy.

 

I read from multiple reviews that the Jackery have limited lifespan, around 1000 charge cycles?

Lithium phosphate units have up to 10,000 charge cycles I believe.

 

Can't speak for battery and inverter combos, but my friends with Jackery battery banks have been happy with them.

I have an Anker battery Bank and have been happy with it for what it's worth.

Never heard of Goal Zero.

 

Wow goal zero specs their 1500w battery bank to more than 500 cycles to 80%. Jackery the same.

A battle born or life blue spec 3-5k but can probably go a lot more. Might be build your own but that is crazy unless goalzero/Jackery are being very conservative.

I was debating going the easy route but not anymore

 

I have no experience or knowledge of either unit but prefer the harbor freight one most

 

Unless it's something new they've added, HF doesn't make anything like the Goal Zero, Jackery, etc. They make jump packs and small generators, but that's not the same.

 

Indeed

 

Ozark Overland Adventures (That hair, oy) just had a test between the Jackery 500 and Goal Zero 500x running a refrigerator and the Jackery won big.

 

Same boat here. Debating a no name one off Amazon, or spending a few more dollars on a Jackery one.

 

We ended up with an Echo Flow delta 1300. Came in handy during a power outage this weekend.
