Explorer 500

Best unit I ever used, I have the 880 and I don't need power from the power company.

Still Jackery's best option. I have 5 of the original Jackery Explorers. 3 1000's. One 300, and one 160. None of them have ever given me a bit of trouble. They have never let me down. They stay running consistently. (VERY UNLIKE the "new" models). One of my 1000 watt units and my 160 are 3 years old. They take a charge on poor solar days, never shut off with ridiculous error codes, and are the best batteries I've owned. (That includes Ecoflow, Grecell, and the "new" model Jackery.) As long as they made the ORIGINAL Explorer models, I will continue to buy them.

I bought the solar 550 power source and the saga 100 solar panel for my C pap when we go camping. Works perfectly. Use for a night or two and charge it in the day. Never have to worry about power for my Cpap machine. And the built in flashlight comes in handy too.

We love our Jackery 550! Originally we bought it for my CPAP and after testing it became clear it could handle that without any problem! In fact, my CPAP used less than 10% of the reserve power over night! Then my wife discovered she could power her hair gagets with it! I know right? Still, this thing is so handy we often use it in our camper if we're dry camping/boon docking to save the batteries and propane for when we really need it. This is one of the best investments we've ever made for camping! So awesome! Get one! Get two!

I have waited 8 months to write this review. Last year I took took two Jackery 240's and two 60 watt foldable Jackery panels to friends in Haiti. It was the most simple and efficient way I could think of to bring electricity to provide for the very basic need of charging cell phones and laptops, night time lighting, and power a small fan on hot nights. Seems these are targeted at occasional "camping trips" so I was unsure how they would do with the rigger of EVERYDAY usage. ....after 8 months here is my report - the batteries are still performing perfectly and have been absolutely life changing. The Jackery panels both failed after 3 months of daily use but were easily replaced by rigid standard panels.

This Jackery just proved itself as awesome. It has been in my truck for a year unused. I haven’t needed it. It’s been through hot wether and some below freezing temps. So today I thought I better check it, see if I ruined it by neglecting it. To my surprise it still has 78% power!! I knew Jackery is a good product but I’m honestly surprised. I really thought it would have no power after a whole year. Now I can charge it back up, use it and prepare for the upcoming hurricane season. Thanks jackery!

It only worked my CPAP for 4 hours then run out of power. Took longer to charge it.

I bought my Jackery for the purpose of having a back up when the power goes out and out it went. A terrible wind storm and frigid temps made us get it out and use for a few necessities. But had I known that our 500w was only powerful enough to charge my laptop and phone and nothing else that really helped during that storm I probably would have invested in a more powerful unit. You see the house was frigid and the 500w didn't work with a very basic space heater. It wasn't strong enough to power the microwave, the keurig or the wifi. It basically kept things going that had little to improve the quality of life although the light was nice - I have a hand crank am/fm radio with a light that worked better. So I'm glad I have something to keep the phone going in a snow storm but I'm more happy I have a mini van that can crank the heat and run those appliances with an adapter thru the cig lighter to keep our family fed and safe.

I bought the jackery 550 as backup power for my electric outboard motor E-propulaion 3hp,,while out fishing on a large lake we ran out of power about a mile or so from the home dock. Plugged in my jackery and off we went to home dock with power to spare.great product.

My Jackery 550 and my Solar Panel got me through Hurricane Ian. I would charge by day and ran my full size refrigerator, fan, and lights through the night. Was able to keep my cell phone charged throughout the power outage.I would highly recommend the Jackery and have done so to all my friends, here in Florida!
