Happy days and great news that Jackery products are now being sold in the UK and Europe. It’s an amazing battery and for me a big game changer especially now being able to have 230v in my set up! If you do want to pick one up then head over to the links in the description and don’t forget to use the code ‘JACKERY2021’ once you’re at checkout on Amazon to save 20%!

We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Bought one earlier this year. Can’t wait to use it camping. Last July there was one outlet available at the campground for everyone to try and recharge. No worries this year. Also purchased the solar panels. Looking forward to camping out of my truck as well as camp ground use.

Have a Jackery 500 and use it camping. It's great and can't believe we used to go without one.

Great to see someone get something out of this lock down, your channel continues to grow 👍

I'm happy for you mate. Looks like your channel is going in a good direction. Even though I don't do van camping (Honda Civic life 😂) I still really enjoy your content so keep it up.

Just ordered the Jackery 1000 and solar panel ready for when we can go camping. Will keep in the car for power on the go when required. Will also use at end of garden in summer house

With the 1000w version you can run an induction hub. If you want to do this the best one for off grid is from Vango as it runs at a steady wattage and does not flicker on/off like a standard induction hub does.

I’ve got a 500 in my tiny beach hut with a 100w solar panel on the roof. It keeps the fridge on constant, charges my power tools batteries, speaker, phones/laptop/tablets, powers the lights, projector and can be used to inflate my SIB with the electric pump. As its an extremely portable unit, I can take it home if I need it elsewhere. I weighed up the costs and flexibility and decided a reconditioned Jackery 500 was the only real option for me at £320. Free power all year round ain’t a bad thing!

Love how you hugged it at the end lol

Oh this could really help me on my camping trips in the van, was trying to think how to connect a leisure battery but this looks so much simpler! This is just what I was looking for!

Excellent piece of kit and when we finally get our camper ,we will also get one of these thanks for the tips.and the video.

With the Jackery, you can run a proper regular electric blanket now! 😊😊

Hey Will. Great channel and happy to see Jackery sent you a unit to test, I also love the fact that the 3-pin looks a little retro-fitted. What channels inspire you? I love Foresty Forest and VanCity Vanlife. Foresty just did a van build-out (mainly in a Home Depot car park), imagine B&Q allowing that??? Cheers Sarah

Yeah, you got a Jackery. I am using the same one, and even it was a bit expensive I am totally happy with it. Mostly I just use if for my laptop and phone. My lamps run with normal AAA batteries. I have a cooler but I only use ice for it to cool my food. I might upgrade that later but for now that is all I need.

Wow ......... I do believe that Jackery people have keen eyes for rising talents. Congrats Will ....... luv from Kolkata - India. KEEP ROCKIN DUDE. :)

Looks decent mate,you’ll b sorted with all that power now 🙌🏻

I've seen alot of people review the Jackery. This is awesome. Well done.

Thank you for your excellent review! I have been hearing about Yeti Goal Zero and Jackery power systems since I bought my new Ford Transit Connect back in December, and watching videos and social posts about people using this car to go camping. Many of them are using the Jackery. I'm not planning to live inside my FTC, but I will be taking weekend camping trips in it, possibly up to 7-day trips. So being able to charge devices and run various 110vac appliances is indeed an attractive use-case for me. I like the functionality of the Jackery system that you reviewed in this video. It's also great that they are on sale now :) Thank You :)

hey jackery my van needs one of these. good to see you in the uk

These look great will also be good for charging up my power tools while on site with no electric.

Jackery are very reliable, glad they chose you to review, company's should hire you to do commercials, amazing job!

Its good to see you again man keep up the good work we will keep supporting you 😁😁

They also have a 160 jackery I just bought one today and that is great if you going camping need to charge your phone I'm just putting out as much power as the bigger one but it will do if you're going on a short trip camping

Blimey, I thought PowerOak gave away a lot of stock.... But it looks like Jackery have out done them... 😂😂😂 Every channel I follow seems to have one to review....

Hey Will, those power banks / inverters are an absolute life saver in a SHTF situation. They have given you a fairly substantial solar array so even on a cloudy day you could potentially keep it charged up. Check instructions as to whether you can charge and use the device at the same time, some models vary. All the best with that one. Rog.

Love the hug you gave it at the end lol

I have a Jackery Explorer 500 (US version), used to power a 12volt DC Compressor fridge/freezer (uses about 15% of my power every 8 hours), a micro rice cooker (uses a total of 50 watts to heat a cup of coffee, or 100 watts to cook a cup of rice), a CPAP machine (running on DC with no humidifier), and if I have enough power, a low 43-watt electric heating blanket. My portable 120-watt aftermarket solar panel fits in my windshield to be able to recharge the Jackery without having to get out of the car to set it up in the morning once the sun rises, as I am a late sleeper. (Also protects both the solar panel and the Jackery from rain and theft.) The panel goes against the glass in front of the Reflectix, and both are held in place at just the right angle by the sun visors. During the daytime, the battery is used to recharge battery-powered items that I may have used at night (depending on summer or winter), such as my two sets of LED lights (which run from 5000mah battery packs), my two 10,000mah portable hand warmers, and my two 10,000mah portable fans for air circulation. The Jackery is also recharged from the car while driving in lieu of solar. Congrats on your new power station...you will not be disappointed having this fantastic tool in your van!

I am happy thst you have that! You will be amazed how often it comes in handy! Would be awesome to use with one of the 12 hour electric blankets for those cold damp nights in the vehicle! Those 2 hour ones are useless. Thanks for doing this video and I look forward to your next one. Rick From Virginia

that's awesome!! it's great to see you getting sponsors dude :) you'll be earning big coin online soon.

I have the most expensive version and I couldn't be happier, it definitely didnt come cheap at all but in my opinion you do get your money's worth

Thanks for the info on the Jackery✌🏻

Well done you for being noticed by a manufacturer. Well deserved. Hope you get a sponser soon.

Handy to hoover the car, when you live in a flat, and no close power source

Bought a 500 last night because I/we can’t suffer another week long, weather induced, power cut in Scotland 😂. I moved to Aberdeenshire in 2010 to marry my Scottish husband and In 2021 after only experiencing minor power outages, when Storm Arwen hit us in Aberdeenshire we found ourselves going 9 DAYS without power and as we had two cats so a hotel room wasn’t an option for us. Thankfully we had the fireplace going 24/7 because cats can’t survive temperatures under 7 Celsius. So we have heat from the fireplace but the rest of the house was bitter cold so we lived in the living room with the door to the rest of the house closed.. The fireplace kept us warm but I was running my car for an hour or more to keep my phone charged in case I had to reach my husband or get help in general. Also 9 days with no distractions, or lighting , no laptop, no iPad , no music and spending a fortune on torch batteries. And still trying to avoid covid and get a hot meal. I thought never again! Until… In January 2022 my husband was offered a GP position in Shetland and now we’re up here. In December of last year after moving up to Shetland, told they never get snow etc, we lost power for OVER 10 days when snow collected on and snapped the power line near us. Oh are you joking? They had no estimate on repairs. Again, we had a fire for heat but this place that never sees snow? They do! I was furious to be stuck a second year in a row. Again I said never again but how? ? Talking to a friend who was really into watching “van living” videos on KZfaq and she said you should see if what they use would work… huh? So, I watched one day and noticed after a few different van life guys they were living off these power cubes. All powered up by these cubes of various types and sizes. I began to research like crazy. First, not nearly as expensive as a gas powered generator and second, didn’t NEED any flammable fuels. Just a wall plug to charge, or my car or by solar panels which in Shetland, in summer, is often a very long day of sunlight. It could sit IN the house, it was MUCH cheaper than a gas generator and for my tech hating husband, easy to use. But is it just a big phone charger, my husband joked and again I researched, asked questions and researched again! Jackery, as a brand, kept coming up, they had great reviews on the whole and the website gave me a 30% off my first purchase code, THIRTY PERCENT OFF? “Save”. The reality is, NO, it WONT power your house for endless hours and you can run a giant television and satellite dish on it BUT,it WILL definitely help in a power outage! The 500 CAN charge my small things like phones, iPads, laptops, a small lamp, a music source to calm our cats, etc…, As long as it was kept at the right power strength, it will power it even my broadband router, a small TV, AND said it was possible. Not ALL at the same time but just having use of my laptop to work on photo editing? Priceless! It even has safety features that prevent you from using items that it’s not able to accommodate. So yes, Husband it is more than a big phone charger 😉 Yes I’d been hesitating on the actual purchase though and then yesterday, 18 October 2023, warnings for STORM BABET hit Scotland. NO!😳 Not ANOTHER ‘possible’ power outage?! No way!! SO, when my husband got home I spent an hour or two talking about this little life (sanity) saver. I was dead serious. As a GP, at work they’re always going to be powered up as a medical practice. His work is a ten minute drive at most so if I wanted to charge it a bit faster I could, during an extended power outage of multiple days, drive to his work and recharge both as I drive and then in the practice. He could take it to work and charge it up for the evening as well. And he REALLY LIKED that I had that 30% off code. We agreed on buying it! He wanted five minutes to read reviews so he went to a known online retailer 😉… and suddenly my husband said, if we get from unnamed“large online retailer” it’s 40% OFF! Even BETTER!. Suddenly something I never expected to need or buy is making me happier than a new pair of high heels and I’m not even joking! And it’s 40% off? And Storm BABET is coming? And, and, and…. my computer screen suddenly says, “Thank you for your order number xxxxxx…..”🎉 I AM GIDDY! 🤪I will no longer fear power outages. I will use my computer and charge it too, I might even power a little lamp to read by so my husband doesn’t knock a lit candle and its melted wax onto my favourite decorative cushion on the couch, I WILL EVEN CONSIDER BUYING A CARRYING CASE 🎒… and maybe use my unused 30% off discount code to go wild and but the smaller one for the kitchen or home office🤔! I’m just honestly really excited which shows my age, Generation X, once into rock concerts, now obsessed with emergency power supplies to make the increasing frequency of Scottish power outages more tolerable 😃 And, one day, I shall take it camping ⛺️ 🔌 perhaps? I’m a bit of a gadget loving Californian who married a technology and gadget hating analog type Scottish doctor 13 years ago, it’s been an amazing place to live, the Scottish countryside. But since Storm Arwen 💨 hit Aberdeenshire in 2021, I can’t go without a little help in the dark, lol. Again, we are fortunate to have a fireplace for heat but it’ll be nice to, if I want, use my laptop to work on photography editing even in a wild, wind fueled, power outage! (The good luck was that I’d had the 500 in my “basket” for a while and just as Storm BABET started picking up in her power outside and about 20 minutes before the discount expired, I paid 40% less for a giant phone charger 🤣 I’m excited for its arrival.. 🤗🤩🪩💃🕺

An excellent roundup of the product will thank you

I'm back from my exam.... happy to see your video will...💖💖🙏

Great Will haven't looked in for a while . Love the Jackery .

I got the jackery 240 the other year with the 100watt panel then got the jackery 500 last week,absolutely love jackery gear,got my gf a 240 aswell so between us we should be sorted

I've been using an allpowers 350w with a roll up 100w solar panel . I like the jackery but obviously it wasn't available when I bought mine but I am thinking of upgrading to either poweroak or now jackery.

The Jackery will actually charge ok via the solar panels during winter, even on grey days, but especially of course on sunny or partially sunny winter days. Other solar power stations such as the Goal Zero Yeti or PowerOak, and the much cheaper Beuden, Allpower and Zenes models will also do a similar job and also charge via solar. I tend to prefer to charge my Gobat 12000 batteries via solar, which charge faster than the bigger battery stations. I also carry an extra normal 12v car battery and 12v boat battery in the car, and these easily charge phones, laptop, tablet, cameras and external flash batteries etc. Often I can be away from socket power for weeks or months, so every bit of portable power is vital, and now avoid using the car's own internal battery and running engine to charge anything...because it only shortens the life of your car battery, but also avoids being stranded in remote locations with a dead motor. 🙂

I'm all over this battery. Super handy.

Love your portable power Banks and solar panels. Look quality.

Bro congrats for 100k

Great review, subd 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😁

Brilliant Review and unboxing there Will i may end up buying one for a solo van life.

This has been on my wishlist for ages. I just checked it out again on Amazon, and WOW, the Jackery 500 is available for £270! That is half price, folks. The 240 is £260. I hemmed and hawed, but finally just bit the bullet and bought one. When I first checked, an hour ago, there were 9 available. Now there are only 6. If you want one of these, hurry on over to Amazon and get a freaking good deal! (I am not working on behalf of Amazon or Jackery, just sharing the info for fellow campers.)

awesome channel and lifestyle dude is that an old galaxy 1.9tdi those are my lifeline absolute luv those old gobblers, ive just ordered me jackary good review

Great stuff Will. Finally something to power your electric blanket 😆😆!

Hi Will. Great vid, love your "new baby". I'm think of getting one myself. I plan on having a unique use for it. I already have a 100w solar panel on a south facing roof, my plan involves doing away with my inverter & charge controller & installing the Jackery 500. This will run a small tv, a stereo, room lights & garden lights - but NOT all at the same time.- one at a time. Is this doable & is my existing solar panel compatible? Apart from possible power cuts, I plan on having the panel connected permanently to the Jackery.

Great bit of kit. I’ve seen quite a few people use this. 👍👍👍

Great reviews thanks. Ideal for van life or camping.

Thanks Will, just, bought my using your code 👍🏻

I use mine as a back up in winter to power everything in my van including the diesel heater. I have a full solar set up but in winter it's not great

That would be cool for camping also! Even trades that need power on site

It’s an awesome piece of kit for we astrophotographers. We need to power computer driven tracking mounts, phones and laptops, dew heaters and telescope control boxes. This delivers. Don’t know why Jackery don’t include this use in their advertising material. Astro imaging is now HUGE.

You got it made mate. Battery, solar panel, car, food, have fun with it bud. Keep the videos coming.

That's going to be a life saver for loads in the UK doing van / car life 🤗 see if your blanket actually works with a good battery charger

Looking well chuffed there dude, as well you should!! Love it :)

Was just thinking today when's the next post. Top job will, you even make an excellent product demo! Enjoyed the live stream sunday, best van to buy in my opinion is a mk6 or 7 transit go for swb medium roof👍

Awesome buddy awesome…will get one ..just love it .. we camp in camper & tents ..so looking forward to running my cool box & charging stuff … just found you so will subscribe to you .. all the best buddy cheers Chris & Sam

Hi will. My question is can it deliver a charge while at the same time it is being charged? For instance could I be charging my phone while at the same time have the solar panel connected

Thanks brub... Now i can take one of this back to Nepal 😉🤘🏼

Useful information. Thanks a lot.

Hmm been thinking about one of these, or the Bluetti, for camping with no electrics, just to power the cool box really and the odd phone charge, but a weekend away with the cool box plugged in it sounds like it wont last?

Thank you for your review. Please is it possible to take this thing on a plane for holiday? (from uk to africa and then back). Could this fit inside a normal suitcase to place it inside the plane luggage compartment as opposed to taking it inside the cabin? Thank you in advance

Nice one Will, £500?...wow, to essentially recharge a laptop or phone.....ill stick with my Halfords one and it will jump start my car if the battery is dead.

Nice piece of kit and a great review. Not a massive cost when you consider what you get from it 👍🏻

That's well sorted...

Brilliant bit of kit to have 🇬🇧

thanks for the review

Great review,i want to buy this,i have a question if its possible to answer my friend as i am not an expert on electricity....i have a solar panek of maximum power 250Wp voltage at Pmax 51,2v and current at Pmax 4,88A maximum system voltage 1000v.....is this suitable for charging the jackery without harming it?i mean with the typical mc4 cnnection to dc would work right?thank again

Why am I more excited about those portable solar panels than the battery!? Pretty cool either way though!😊

wow that jackery is brilliant

Thanks buddy, I might have to get a Jackey. Your awesome, keep safe. Xxx

Have you used a portable heater through it for camping?

In the event of a powercut could this be used to boost the freezer temp?

Ahh I’m buzzing to see this I will purchase one

hi thinking of getting a jackery you know the plug bit can you put a long plug adapter so you can run your ps4 on it when in the car

Yasssss Jackery hits the UK.

Hi Will, Do you know how long it takes to charge from 12v car/van socket? cheers

picked this up with your code thank you very much... Thought I would be clever and keep myself warm in the van with a foot heater that I had.... WRONG!!!!! this unit is 500w and the heater is a 1-2 k watt...... bummer!!! I now have a 400w heater on the way for £9.99 I shall let you know what its like..... but i was so disappointed with it not working 😂

Nice, always wanted a jackery since i saw it on steves channel, and now it's on yours!

you can use a fan heater now

Great video Will!

Nice bit of kit and even at £599 it is still compatible with a van electrical system with the bonus of being portable.

U can put that solar panel on u car roof charge it all the time id still invest in aa break down cover if u are travelling different country in europe that is the first one i seen that got uk plug on it

Very handy 👍 now you can camp out longer than a night

kettle, mini electric stewpot, mini fridge, lights, charging stuff, heater, extractor fan, usb powered mini aircon, car dehumidifier, car hoover, pump for a camping shower,

You can get a little electric heater now. Heating issues sorted

The 500 you have Will is equivalent to a 43ah battery so less than half the ah of your aux battery might as well just get an inverter and connect that to your aux battery

Hey will I’m from Ms Charlottes class it won’t let me buy the merch how do u buy it on mobile

What kind of heating can you power with it? Is your blanket eorking? Or maybe a radiator?

Be very useful when i get my van and convert it into my home thanks will you are awesome

Excellent Will looks fab. Can’t afford that though. Has anyone used a Beaudens??

That will help a lot.

Is there a way of using it to start the car if the battery goes flat?

The 500 is perfect size for you guys in uk. Those vans they’re are tiny enjoy.

What is going on? I went to amazon to take advantage of the 20% promotion offer and was unable to get it. is there a special code I need to use?

Can I use this to power a PA system cx
