jackery 300w on 78% after an hour of charging 33w
Is this the norm for you guys? I’m using it to power a small tv and just wanted to make sure that this is a normal case of battery power.

Morning,
Id like to leave my Jackery’s charging off solar while I’m at work.
Does anyone leave them unattended like this all day?
I've been wanting a solar generator for some time and after researching, I've landed on the Jackery. I'll be using it for Frigidaire 6.5 c feet stand up freezer (would love if it would power my large fridge, but I doubt it). I'm looking at the 1000 v2, and trying to decide between 1 100w, 2 110w, or 1 220w panel to go with it. It's going to be used in case of emergency power outage situations to keep my freezer going.
Looking at the different options and reading the threads here, I've become completely overwhelmed and could use some recommendations if anyone is willing to suggest them.
Looking at getting a Jackery solar generator for camping. It seems any Jackery will do the basics (charge phones, laptops, etc). What I really need to know is what is the cheapest model that will run something like a camp stove.
Walmart has a cheap single burner for $12.
Do I need to spend a whole paycheck on a Jackery 1000 v2? Or would a smaller generator do just fine for cooking two meals a day? Nothing fancy, simmering rice or frying up a quick egg, etc. Any advice is appreciated.
Jackery Support has posted below that this is a known iOS issue and they are working on a resolution to be released soon.
Original Post:
Just got 2.1.0 on iOS today. I have a 2000+ with 3 external batteries and a 5000+ with one external. With the new App update it no longer shows the battery charge percentage on external batteries, only the main unit. The actual screens on the units show the batteries are attached, but the app no longer breaks them out. Kind of annoying and I hope they bring that back.
/edit. Also I'm on latest iOS 26.5 that released on May 11th.
/edit 2. So I have now checked on the following:
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 26.5, Jackery iOS App 2.1.0 - No expansion batteries listed
iPhone 12 Mini, iOS 26.5 Jackery iOS App 2.1.0 - No expansion batteries listed
13" M1 iPad Pro, iPadOS 26.5 Jackery iPhone App 2.1.0 - No expansion batteries listed
M1 Max MacBook Pro, MacOS 26.5, Jackery iPhone App 2.0.2 (3) - Expansion batteries all listed (both the 5000+ and 2000+)
After seeing it worked on the MacBook Pro using the iPhone app, I then updated the MacBook Pro's iPhone app to version 2.1.0 and ** poof! ** the expansion batteries are no longer shown on the 5000+ or 2000+.
Hoping it's just a bug, and not the plan going forward to not show your expansion battery status.
Hi, does anyone know what couriers will take brand new Jackery solar generators in the post? I need to return one to Jackery (we are paying for the postage). Thanks.
I believe I have finally convinced the wife that we 'NEED' portable power, both at home and on the go. Question is, do I get one that is powerful enough to power the house stuff (not everything, not whole house, just a select few items w/fridge being one of them) and also use that for camping or is that going to be too heavy to lug around and I should get a bundle and have one for the house and a more manageable one for on the go? Would like both to have options for solar.
Finally got to take the 2000 out camping, its normally my home/workshop back up. When i take the expedition truck out my “go to” is a my Explorer 1000 plus. This time i knew my power demands would be higher so i took the 2000. We were a part of the frazer Island clean up. Its where 4x4 clubs come to pick up rubbish on the worlds largest sand island.. it a national park thats 4x4 friendly!
While the White Rhino is well set up with house batteries, the portability and flexibility of Jackery is a winner. Out door cooking, powering a starlink and external lighting the 2000 did it with ease! The downside was the weight … so much heavier than the 1000. Now worries as a fixed set up, but if you want to take the power to where you are using it, well the 1000 is the winner. For us the ease of portability is critical… will bring the 1000… maybe i need to buy another one!
Maybe it's me or maybe it's my Jackery 1000 Plus. Maybe not the MOST, but it's been making me cRa^(Z)y!
It shouldn't have to be a secret multiple key press to get it to re-pair.
It seems like it should be easy enough when you tap the power button (to turn it on), it could easily reconnect. As long as I don't wander off, it's fine. But if I wander away from my campsite, it's time to re-pair.
It's been extra useful (when it works) because I've got a Starlink Mini dish, so being able to turn that on and off from my tent is handy (it's been raining on/off today and is now muddy).
My Bodega powered cooler reconnects over and over with no problem (not 100% sure if it's bluetooth of wifi, but it works!).
New to this idea so seeking advice. I have two freezers (standup and chest) in my garage. Is there a Jackery product that would run both? Or is it best to get two units? Is there merit in the idea of running one for a few hours then moving it to the other?
We buy our meats and other items in bulk so the freezers are more important than our refrigerator.
We’re building a house and living in our rv while we do this. Waiting on 2 of these units to power our rv. It came with 2x 340w solar panels. Is this enough to charge these units?
I’d also like to make our new place 100% solar off grid. Is 2 units enough and how many solar panels would you need to keep them charged?
We live in New Brunswick Canada if that matters. I know winters here there’s less hours in the day to collect sun.
Hey guys - looking at the Homepower 3000, can you control the charging wattage in the app? Mostly for avoiding tripping breakers while plugged into a wall outlet.
I know there is the quiet mode, and some models support the slider for specifying the max wattage going in. Was wondering if the 3000 supports this.
After about a month of heavy use of this large solar generator, I wanted to share my experience and thoughts.
The top panel has two large handles, and there are multiple ways to move it around, including large wheels and a retractable handle. Aside from occasional camping or other outdoor activities, I primarily use it as a spare battery for home use.
It has a total of 9 output ports, including 5 AC outlets, 2 USB-C ports, and 2 USB-A ports. This multi-port design allows for simultaneous use of appliances such as microwave ovens and electric kettles. It also uses a NEMA L5-30R connector and supports 100V 50Hz/60Hz 3000W output. Even when using high-power appliances on a regular 100V outlet, such as an inverter microwave, I haven’t had any issues.Furthermore, the battery capacity ranges from 3.58kWh to 21.48kWh, a 25% increase compared to Ecoflow's 4kWh to 12kWh.
It also features pass-through charging. When it’s connected to a 100V AC power source, it draws power directly without using the battery. Once a power outage occurs, it automatically switches to the internal battery, which makes it very safe and reliable. There was one time I was out of the house during a blackout, but my surveillance system continued running normally. For easier charging, I’ve also connected it to two 200W solar panels on my balcony. At this point, I’m using it for much more than emergencies. At this point, I’m using it for much more than emergencies. During sunny days, the panels help recharge the battery while powering part of the apartment at the same time, which makes the whole setup feel surprisingly practical for both emergency preparedness and reducing everyday electricity use.
Now I’m trying to connect most of the appliances in my living room to this portable power station. During the day, the solar panels generate electricity, and at night I use the stored energy. Maybe my electricity bill will become a little easier to manage. Also, it's almost silent and won't disturb my sleep.
If someone asks me if I would buy another one, my answer is definitely yes. It works perfectly in almost every situation now. Curious if anyone else here is also using a portable power station as part of their everyday home setup. What creature comforts will having a solar generator unlock for you?
Using Jackery to bump up another unit and expansion packs until it’s sunny in a few days.
Also Makita battery.
I recently got my box assuming it can charge using up to 400w solar.
Hooked up 400w and it faulted out. Only to realize there’s two ports and can only draw 200w per port.
My question is what’s the max wattage that can be plugged in to a single port w/o tripping an error. I know it can only receive up to 200watts. But can I hook up eg. a 250watt panel to one input w/o tripping an error?
Looking at buying a second set of panels for the other port. I can have a 300watt panel for free, not sure if it will fail out though.
Haven't touched grid power for my office since moving the unit in here.
Was bringing enough solar in today to charge up my 880 pro off the 5000 as well
Stacking these two would free up space, but I want to make sure it's safe for the 3600.
Hello everyone! I'm looking to buy a charging station and discovered that the Jackery AC inverter doesn't automatically turn on after the battery is discharged and then power is restored. Is there any way to fix this? I need to create a completely autonomous system so that power is restored automatically even when I'm not home. Does another company offer this feature?
I just installed STS with two J5000s connected. I've got two 10 panel 4000w solar arrays powering each J5000. ALL my 110 circuits are in the STS. My solar is so powerful that my batteries are fully charged by 10-11am every day. I'm basically running off grid all day and most of the night. Is it okay for each battery to go from 99% to 100% all day, everyday until the sun goes down?
