Just purchased a Jackery 240 to run my CPAP machine incase we lose power. I had to buy a 12 volt cord for the CPAP. It powered my machine for 16 hours and charged my iPhone over the last 2 nights. I still had 50% charge left in the battery. I did not use the heater on the CPAP. Really impressed.

My harbor freight solar panel is rated for 100W and regularly pulls 120W. You can even find videos on here of people pulling more than their panels are rated for.

Thank you for your review 😊 I just received my Little unit yesterday. I Love it it's so much lighter than my "other companies item". Your review was on the spot. Thank you for taking your time to go into detail. 👍🏼😊

Hi, Thank you for explaining the Jackery 240, in a very clear and simply way. I just ordered my Jackery; 240 and I wasn't sure how to use it and what panel to order. After seeing your video, I feel more confident in the battery that, I have picked and in using my Jackery more efficiently. Thanks again 👍

Thanks for mentioning the C-PAP . That's what got me to look for a generator!

Got the uk version a few days ago with the 100watt solar panel and it is AWESOME it’s just what I need for on my boat and for camping

Excellent review! Thanks!

Super helpful. Thanks for doing this.

Very nice video. I plan on getting this model. Thanks.

Thorough review. Thanks man

Nice review! Thank you Sir. 👍🏼

Great review!!! Thank you!

Jackery 300, which is the same form factor as this, fits fine in my carry on backpack.

Great, simple review!

Nice review!

Great video, thank you!

I'm thinking of doing a little Nomading and wanted to know if I'd need a solar panel along with a jackery to start out with. I see if I want to go cheap there is a way to charge the jackery without solar however, I see the great advantages of solar plus jackery together. I really enjoyed your clear and straightforward explanation of this system and it was just what I wanted to know. Thanks!

Excellent review

Your video is very professional.

Thanks for the review just snagged it for $169

Thank you! Helped me make my decision.

Have you used the 110 on this to charge drone batteries? If so, which drone and how many charges did you get? Nice review, thanks!

I have the Jackery and the Anker Powerhouse. The Jackery is better in my opinion. More rugged and a better value. It powered a 200 watt light and the Powerhouse shut down. Jackery has just introduced a more powerful 440 version. This is the perfect size for a quick grab and go power outlet. Nice video!

Wow, just got mine yesterday. Bought the boundel package on Amazon, with the 60 watt panel, and bag set up 499. Very happy with it. Came 35% charged. Out in the desert sun I got 50% input for a few minutes, then dropped down to a steady 48-47 input pure sun. Got into the 70% range real fast, but had to go in. Off wall if was way slower 35% and hour or more to finish off. It has limits and it can not run a space heater in a tent... But man, if candle light can warm a tent, then why not make a safe electric type radiant with a small watt draw, just to warm a tent, or sleeper inside a camper. Wow, think of the units you would sell huh. That would be cool.

thank you for your review! would it feed a lap top ? and for how long ? What are the recharge time in cloudy conditions ?

I wonder if there's a difference in charging the panels in winter, or if winter affects how well the power bank absorbs energy? If I lose power, it's usually in winter.

So question. I use one of these to power my camping fridge when I go off-roading. Would it be safe to plug in my fridge to the Jackery via the AC wall plug? Then charge the Jackery with the 12 volt plug while driving?

If you hook it to a 100 watt solar panel it can pull a lot faster charge! I have seen mine go over 60 watts. It has an MPPT controller so I don't know what the peak is but sunlight is the fastest way to charge it!

So...i'm getting ready for Car Camping. I bought a little ceramic 250watt Heater. Question? will this Jackery Pwr. Pack (at 240 Watts Rating)...Run that thing at all? and if it will...assuming that...it would only do it for about an hour, given it's 240Wh Rating? any help or ideas? thank you!

I have 12v 180 watt solar panel, can use it with the Jackery 240?

Hey, great review, thank you! I have a tec question maybe u could help. We left the Jackery 240’s Outlet switch on in its back going on a 4 hour journey (nothing was plugged in) We when we got to our destination and took it out of the bag it was very warm / hot & both fans was running ! The fans would have struggled to get air for whatever length they were on. Any idea if the heat was coming from the battery, the inverter or the fans them selfs? As far as we knew there was a cut off built into it so I’m wondering why it wouldn’t have shut down ? I reset the battery and it appears to be working 100% , surprisingly fans seem fine etc. Thanks in advance

Have you ever try to leave the solar panel on the dash of your vehicle ? Does it charge ?

Thanks for the videos, I’ve seen a few and appreciate the content. I have to ask between Goal Zero, and Jackery what system do prefer for camping and running your CPAP?

Good straight forward video

Can you measure the output voltage while it is powering a small device and report the voltage? I believe it will show low voltage which is not good. I am not seeing any reviews check the output which seems unusual. Low voltage is not good for electronic devices

Will the AC input accept a 3-prong extension cord?

Hi bro, this cannot do the jumper for car battery?

I have a new Jackery 240 and now a Jackery portable 60 watt panel. I do see how to connect the two for charging. Connectors which came with each are not compatible. Both have red and black ends but are square and not compatible. Am I missing a connection from warehouse. I’m a novice and clueless.

How can I charge this with a 200w 18v 11a solar panel (and 20a charge controller) I have on my van roof? Can I use 12v outputs while it charges? How long can it run two 12v 2a appliances for?

can you use it with a pa portable speaker

can Portable Wind Turbine be hook to this for charging it up?

Hello there , Robert of Traveling Robert shared this product on his channel. Actually he told us about a giveaway of this 240charger . He advised us to subscribe To your channel , I just did that .now I can say I really hope to be a lucky recipient of this little Power house. I’m a solo van camper with limited space , I just watched a demonstration of how it works along with the solar Panel . This power source is a product I hope to have In case of power outages , etc. Thanks for adding my name to the pot. Jo

can i use it for my ebick

can i charge it to 220v?thanks for your answer

hey bro,how does it work on a portable refrigerator?

Anyone know of any specific reliable small AC units it might be able to power? (or even for the one size up Jackery)

Can this charge a mini college dorm fridge?

So I’m guessing if I had one of these I could charge my iPhone and Garmin for a week of use out camping?

How long does it take to fully charge it?

What size solar panel will run a fan ?

Can it charge from an outlet does it have to charge from solar panels?

I have the Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra and I have the 60 W panel. And when I plug it into my phone I get a yellow triangle with a lightning bolt in the middle. From what I understand it's telling me that it's pulling in too much power for my phone. What is your take on what is happening?

Would I be able to plug in a power strip and charge my phone and use a tv and ps5? Like I’d want to go camping. All the same time?

my solar panel is a different brand, comes with alligator clips. how do I connect to the battery?

i think this would power a smallish LCD well

"angle does matter!" I will keep that in mind.

I put my 100W solar panel on it and now it charges at 60 Watts, Jackery doesnt actually limit the input wattage.

How can i get the power bank?

Car charger?? So instead of using a 120V wall outlet to charge, you could use the enclosed car charger and plug this into your cigarette lighter, drive for 4 to 8 hours on the road and have it fully charged by the time you reach your destination? I assume I could use this to power an electric blanket for sleeping in the car at night and have my phone plugged in also for an overnight charge?

Thanks for the show perfect. So I just got the 240 what is The biggest solar panel can I hook to it and be safe and will it charge faster. Is bigger better?

Hello, I wanted to buy the jackery power station from the amazon link you send us but they say that they don't deliver to where I am and I live in Delta Bc?

Maybe a silly question from someone who doesn't have electricity knowledge.... I have a 250 watts solar panel with Mc 4 connection,can my solar panel be connected to the jackery 240 or am I going to damage the unit? Thanks for the great review am on buying the jackery as there many people out there having the best experience with it

How cool! Those are expensive! Lucky !!

I bought a jackery 240 about 3 weeks ago and I've noticed something that I may just be overthinking about, and I'm trying to get other owners of the 240's opinion. I've noticed that when watching videos here on KZfaq that on some units, even like the 500 and 300 when you plug in charger to charge that the light is blue when charging and turns green when done. I've never saw a detailed video on the 240 to see if it acts the same when its done charging. Mine never turns green. It will charge up to 100% and the watts will taper down, slowly going to zero and the charger box even gets cold, from not pushing out anymore power, but the light never turns green, it always stays blue. The unit seems to function fine, and I even left it plugged up for like 12 hours just to make sure, but it never changes to green, it stays blue. Can anyone else who owns a 240 confirm if theirs stays blue or does turn green? Like I say, any other time I wouldn't think anything of it, but it's got me questioning why the 240 stays blue but the other units turn green when done

Can it jump a car battery?

Can it recharge and discharge at the same time?

I have a question about Air conditioning.. what are your opinions? what can you do and what can you not do?.. whats going to work best and for how longv

I want to see someone run one of those small 12V refrigerators on one of these. Interested to see if it will power a refrigerator all night and then charge back up during the day.

Any opportunities for a 230volt version please?

is the solar panel included when you buy it or separate?

What’s the price

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!

How much is it

How long will it power a CPAP machine? The Anker 200 only show 2 hours

will pass-thru setup work also when using the regular power outlet?

Three questions: 1- Can anyone tell me if I buy this strictly for emergency purposes, can I buy it then put it away in storage for one day when I need it? 2- how many cycles will I get out of this before it drops? 3- is there something better out there that fits the parameters from question one and two?

If I have a 19v 65 watt laptop battery does that mean it would give me almost 4 full charges for the laptop from a fully charged 240 W jackery battery?

Hi, could you please tell me if I can use the Power Station to connect my Yamaha Psr-SX900 musical keyboard which power consumption is 25W?? I wish to take it to play outdoors.

Can you charge the battery bank via solar and wall outlet simultaneously?

What about charging it with cigarette lighter as you driving. Would it work?

You actually can't take any of these in your carry on luggage (not even the Explorer 160) as they all exceed the 100 Whr max that airlines let you bring with you. I wish they would let you bring things like this on in your carry on-luggage or as a personal item on flights (I can understand why they don't allow them in checked bags though, for the same reason you're not supposed to put ANY batteries in checked bags).

Newbie here......My car's cigarette lighter fuse blew. Could it be from "pass through" charging on the Jackery?

They are not using mppt charge controller

My jackery 240 pulls 60watts plugged into the wall. That’s weird

would it power a refrigerator? how long and how big?

Did you know the Explorer 240 Portable limits the charge current to prevent fire. You will never be able to charge the 240 with 50 watts. From factory Rep.

does it run your CPAP all night?

How would this do with powering an xbox series s?

Is there any way to charge without panel?

can it run a fan through the night while camping?

I am glad to see companies are trying to get people into solar. However this product for me is overpriced. I can build this for a fraction of the price. And I know not everyone can, but 250 sounds way out there for the bank, but then $199 for a 50 watt panel? A 50 watt regular panel costs about 60, and a 12v to 5v adapter costs cents on ebay. What is in that panel of theirs that makes it almost 3 times as much? Just too much for me, but for someone who wants a profuct that just works out of the box? This might be for them. Your review was good! I would like to see ya be nit-picky in some way though. You can't be completely happy with it, if ya didnt test all the outputs, ya know? By the way, I cane across this video because youtube recommended it to me. So congrats! You are getting out there! Keep up the great work!

It only has 16 amp hours of battery life

The 240 is not recommended for a CPAP.

That's not "pass-through". That's a chain process.

So angle does matter? 🤔

I have the Jackery 240 and the Jackery Solar Saga 60. When using the solar Saga 60 I get between 45w and 55w. I do live at around 8000ft above sea level. When I bought it in early 2020 every review out there said that all charging is capped at 40w. The 12 V and AC charging IS capped at 40w, but it was nice to find out after using it that solar charging is not capped at 40w. At 55w it takes about 4 hours to charge.

This does not work for CPAP. If you use the 12V outlet for CPAP. It will shut off after 4 hours. Do not use this for CPAP with 12V

Need timestamps bud

To everybody who wants to camp out ,I just got back from Northern Michigan sleeping in a tent for 5 days and 4 nights. We did not have a generator and I have to sleep with my C-PAP MACHINE to get any sleep at all. I have a marine battery (Which I bought at Walmart) and an inverter with the alligator clips, that connects to the battery terminals. The weather ranged from low 40's to the High 20's the 5 days we stayed there. If you turn off your humidifier but keep it filled with distilled water during your sleep you'll still get some humidity. I sat my battery on a blanket folded up so it wasn't sitting on the tent floor which was cold until we fired up the kerosene heater. My battery tester showed 100% when I left home and I wasn't sure if I could get 4 nights of sleeping with the battery charging my C-PAP MACHINE. The battery did just fine, and when I got home my brother said I have got to see how much energy you got left in your battery. I plugged it in to my charger and it read 50%. That's amazing. I TRIED TO KEEP MY BATTERY UNPLUGGED DURING THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE GONE HUNTING, AND COVERED UP TO KEEP THE BATTERY AS WARM AS POSSIBLE .Hope this helps someone.

The solar panel is not weather proof and not worth $300.00
