Group Buy (Closed): Jackery Explorer Portable Power Stations and SolarSaga Solar Panels

Apparently I have to wait before I can create Group Buy threads on Tundras.com or 4runners.com. Was hoping to generate some more interest in the 240 and 300 models.

 

Jackery 500 is so tiny but packs a great punch! Wasn’t fully charged when we left home.

Used it to charge a variety of things including the fridge and over 24 hours later we’ve still got about 35% power left

 

Jackery in the wild Really content with this thing!

Might be looking to return the Massimo and get a different fridge... (nothing wrong with it, the interior size is awkward and I’m realizing it’s too small for my use).

 

Might sell my 500 and Interested in upgrading depending on shipping and tax for the 1000 Jackery. Pm me for a quicker response thanks @CowboyTaco

Put the 500 to use this past weekend. Fully charged and all it ran was the Iceco JP50 from around 130pm Saturday to noonish on Sunday. Ended up with around 38% remaining battery. BUT, I KNOW I could have had more in reserve IF I would have remembered to plug fridge into Jackery DC port. It was already getting close to dark when I remembered. This thing is a keeper in my books.

 

These, and the reviews on previous pages, are awesome! I'm so happy that everyone is getting good use out of them.

Seriously though, I spent so much time researching these and all the Amazon off-brand ones and everything pointed to the Jackery Explorer models being the "real deal" so I'm happy that y'all are confirming what I read.

 

SAME HERE!! And same with the fridge...

 

I completely forgot that would help reserve battery so glad you shared

 

I wanted a Titan system but backorders don’t ship until January so went with a 1000w jackery to have something on hand. Nice to hear some positive feedback

 

Curious to see how the Jackery 500 did with the Massimo fridge. Did you experience any voltage drop? How long did you have it plugged in for?

 

I had it plugged in all weekend but had the Jackery plugged into the truck so while I was wheeling it was charging. Jackery had no problem powering it the whole weekend combined with the pass-through charging feature it has.

I did do a test to see how long the fridge would last on just the battery - I got 35 hours of fridge power time from the Jackery 500.

 

Nice! Thanks for the data.

 

Looks like @chilow got the last Explorer 500 unit.

I'm told that more are expected in stock toward the end of September.

 

I think I'm going to swing for that 500 pack if the deal is still going around the first part of October.

 

Good deal. Got you added to the list.

 

My 1000 arrived yesterday and got it all charged up today. It arrived with a 37% charge. It also came in 3 boxes, russian doll style...box in a box in a box. Felt like I was trying to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Fridge arrives next week then it's time to look up that thread on running 12v to the back seat .

Thanks again @CowboyTaco for setting this up!

 

My pleasure! Hope to see some "action shots" !

 

The Explorer 500 is expected to be back in stock on Saturday and Jackery is currently taking orders to be shipped on Monday.

I'm a bit confused by the email that I received. The verbiage made it sound like the current codes may be expiring soon. If that's the case, we'll need to get another 10 people before we can get another code. It's possible that I just misunderstood the email. I checked the codes that I have for the 500 and 1000 and both are working as of right now.

If you want in, let me know!

 

I’m pretty sure they didn’t have another 500 in stock when I placed my order. Realized it and then updated their website to show out of stock. They created the shipping label and it’s due to arrive today, but Fedex isn’t showing any pickup or transit activity. Leads me to believe that I’m going to end up waiting until next week when they begin shipping their new batch of stock.
