4 notes: The unit puts out 108 Volts, which is adequate but embarrassing. Lots of cheap generators only produce brownout-quality voltage of 110 as well, and vehicle outlets are typically 115. The US standard is 120 and has been since WWII. Anything less is cutting corners. I bought mine on a good sale at Amazon August of 2024 for $550. There are two newer models of Jackery 1000 (V2 and Plus) but they have significantly more horror stories in the reviews. This earliest model has a whopping 85% 5* reviews, nearly unheard of for any contraption on Amazon. This model does have the less desirable Lithium Ion batteries instead of the fireproof LiFePO4 batteries, if you care.

Not too many power banks will power a diesel battery. Has nothing to do with the inverter. The limiting factor is the DC out put. Most DC output average around 120V to 130V, most diesel heaters require 150V. The energizer is a 320wh power bank but the dc output is about 155V, Oupes 600 also output enough dc to start a diesel heater as well as the Bouge power bank another 300wh power bank outputs about 152, ecoflow river pro a 720 wh battery also output enough dc power to start your diesel heater. It has nothing to do with the inverter size. The anker solix 3800 with a 3000+ inverter won't power a diesel heater. Check Pecron also they will power diesel heaters. The Jackery 2000 will power a diesel heater but they are very expensive.

I have this Jackery 1000 with 2-100W solar panels. It has worked out fine with my Dometic CFX3 75. However, I wished I bought the 1500 or 2000W. I do have a Bluetti 2000 and between these 2 power source, it keeps my Dometic cold/frozen. I had definitely used the solar panels for multiple days of camping because the Dometic uses lots of wattage.

@@AnchorOverland My CJ7, last year they made them was rugged , straight solid axle and no creature comforts. No AC, the heater worked, but the freeway ride to your destination was pretty rough, no soft suspension to get you to where you were going. Once you got to where you were, going its really shined. I had a wrench that I used often for many uses, deer hunting, pulling others out being stuck, attaching to a tree to stop me from sliding off a muddy road down a cliff. It was narrow, short wheel base, two doors, oversize tires, not a rock crawler , but very capable. It would go over just about any thing, with a really low 4 wheel drive, 5 speed. You could look out the driver's window and watch the ties just roll over the rocks and boulders. It only had 46,000 miles when I sold. I had to sell as I could no longer drive a stick shift, bad left leg from a bullet wound while in Vietnam. It was fun though. thank again for such a great video. I just subscribed to your channel, so anxious to see your other videos. Happy trails !

I started out with a Jackery Explorer 500 years ago. I bought it primarily to power my ham radio communications during a grid down or temporary power outage. I use it often and I feel very good about my purchase. Less than a year ago I purchased the Jackery 2000 Pro specifically for home use during a power outage. I can run my refrigerator, my freezer, and my natural gas furnace with the 2000. It is a great peace of mind for me. I’m sure that there are other manufacturers products that are comparable to the Jackery, but I decided to stay with a proven product line and have not been at all disappointed. I am now considering buying a Jackery 1000 Plus specifically for camping and recreational activities. I do have a 42-quart portable refrigerator/freezer and a 3-quart Instant Pot which would work very well with this power station for added convenience when away from home.

You are a good example to everyone not to do the work yourself if you don’t know how to install anything especially part/parts that could render you or vehicle in a potentially deleterious situation. Pro tip ….any suspension component nut/bolt that you install should be positional paint marked to alert you during your inspection if a bolt/nut backed off. Hand tugging components may not tell you anything unless it’s extremely loose and you will miss subtle changes that need immediate attention. That’s the reason bolt/nut position is marked at the factory.
@AnchorOverland5 ай бұрын
The lift was installed by myself and a mechanic. All of the bolts were paint marked after I got a torque spec done at a reputable garage. We all missed that bolt, and considering we did the lift almost 3 years ago and I have gone on dozens of off road adventures, it is a testament to the Craftmanship of our work. Also, I was physically shaking everything due to the fact that I had an audible clunk indicating a loose component. I physically checked every paint marker off camera to verify none of the bolts backed off.
