Do you have a Power Station that powers everything you need but does not last as long as you wish? Don't want to spend a thousand dollars or more to replace?
See how I turned my Jackery 500 from a respectable 518Wh 24Ah power station into a SUPER LONG LASTING 3000+Wh 220+Ah BEAST for less than $550!
((((for less than $300 you can get a smaller 1280Wh 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery and still extend the amount of time you can run your power station)))))))

This is exactly what I’m planning for my next rig.

Its been working beyond my expectations. I need to make an update video to show how great its been working and some of the changes Ive made. Thanks for Watching!

You are cranking up my thinking brain. I just bought a used kayak and the battery that came with it may need to be replaced. I will have to look into lithium trolling motor batteries and see if I can use that as a short term back up for running my car fridge (after getting a Jackery, or some other battery pack).

@Vman1313 Жыл бұрын

Lithiums are supposed to be great as trolling batteries. Only down side to Lithiums that I have seen is that they get damaged if you try to charge them when below freezing. This set up for camping is over kill but for blackouts will be good.

Your 12V voltage converter is only rated to 5 amps, Watts=current X voltage, so 5amps X 12V= 60 watts. You need a 10 amp voltage converter to get 120W max charging.

You must not like coffee. I just bought a Vanpowers 2000w and 2096wh solar generator. It’s awesome 👏 it will power 1200w for 1.5 to 2.0 hours. It’s amazing !

Jackery should make this a feature to increase capacity. They have their own expansion batteries but they cost as much as a new Jackery!

I am on day 3 of testing. Video to come but spoiler alert....BIG battery only down to 78% and I am throwing everything that I would during a normal Adventure. It's currently running my fridge 24/7 and charging my laptop once a day. I am also discharging then charging every USB thing I have from cameras to headlamps to lights to fans. All without charging Jackery or big battery at all. I predict I will get tired of testing before big battery gets to ZERO...HaHaHaHa!

have you tried charging the external battery via solar via the jackery?

Brought a 1500W generator.. if at all I need.. it charges my ecoflow at 800W and will be full within an hour.. for less than a quart of fuel

A large generator would not fit my style of Adventure but thanks for sharing as it may help others in their set ups and Adventures.

So you are saying silently what I have been saying loud, 200 ah plus inverter charger beats spending for a jackery. The inverter usually comes usbc plus other

@Vman1313 7 ай бұрын

I need to do an update soon but spoiler alert...yes just the battery and a power inverter is all one needs. I already had the jackery so why not use it BUT Ive added an inexpensive DC to DC charger, nice battery monitor, and a few small things so I barely use the Jackery for camping anymore.

Can you put a link up for the SAE wires/connectors that you used to connect the battery directly to the Jackery? Thanks!

Man is there a simple/safe way to charge this in between camp spots?

@Vman1313 10 ай бұрын

A DC to DC charger is supposedly the best way to charge the battery itself. I purchased one and have been testing it out. So far so good! Video of that to come but search DC to DC charger here on KZfaqz and youll find tons of info.

Please advise the brand name of this battery, I tried to purchase one but did not find any on Amazon with charger & sub ports. This will be a great addition to my camping gear. Thank you for sharing.

The battery itself says "Scream Power" Lithium Batteries and below is a link to the Amazon Listing. So far I have been happy with it. It has gone out on 2 trips, passed a 6 Day test, and I used it while the ligths went out for a few hours at home for some minor stuff. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G7YDGHB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

@Vman1313 2 ай бұрын

@@bdmenne I am not sure of the advantages off a 24v in a car/jeep/suv/etc. In a van, rv, or small home system then maybe because its better when running bigger appliances. The problem with 24v as I see it in my scenario is that you will need a 24v inverter and 24v charger and well everything to be 24v compatible. For camping and such, most things are 12v compatible not 24v so you wont be able to easily wire up lights, fridge, fans, etc.

Your solar panel is not directed to sun accurately. It makes huge difference the angle

@lawrencepatricio5776 6 ай бұрын

So basically you're saying, "don't buy a jackery. Just buy a battery, a solar charger/inverter and dc-to-dc charger, etc. it will be easier to expand your battery capacity when needed."

@Chuckberry30 6 ай бұрын

Yes, I bought the Bluyetti two years ago. Barely use it because of runtime. If I knew what I know now, I would have bought a 200 ah and a inverter.
