Jackery Explorer 600 Plus Portable Power Station 632Wh LiFePO4 Battery, 800W AC/100W USB-C Output, 1 Hr Fast Charge, Solar Generator for Outdoor Camping, Road Trips, Home Backup (Solar Panel Optional)

I own several of these solar generators and they've all been flawless. Well, almost, there was only one that did not measure up and I returned it to Amazon. Great customer service from them over many years. Regarding the one that didn't measure (I think I wrote a review of it), Jackery did contact me directly offering some options. I love that.Anyway, back to the review of this product. It's great. It's flawless. Nice new design too. And no adaptor-brick necessary for in home charging. Just plug it in. LiFePo.

This portable power station gets the job done! It provides power at the rate I needed but you actually have to know what power you need! You can't expect it to provide beyond its rated output. I knew I wanted this to power my refrigerator or my freezer but not both at the same time. My fridge draws 750 watts but not continuously. It varies from 750w to 100w depending on where it is during the cooling cycle. The freezer runs between 220w and 90w during its cycle. It ran my fridge during a power outage here for 7.75 hrs then shut off as I had set it to at 15%. This is settable via the app which I absolutely love as it allows me to keep track of the remaining charge, watts output and input plus I can turn on or off the light or any off the output sections like USB or AC. This power station works as advertised, its relatively small and light weight compared to my 1000+. It is easy to pack up and down my basement stairs. When I had a question about the jack sizes for solar charging I got an same day answer from Jackery. I look at the negative reviews and compare it to my own experiences and I have to think that most of the complaints are user induced problems. They didn't determine the power they needed before hand. It will deliver 632 watt hours so I know before hand that if my fridge runs continuously at 750W it is not going to last an hour. Hope this helps.

Another reviewer ran into an issue with the solar panel not charging the unit. I ran into the same problem, however, the issue was this angled connector on the charging cable. For some reason, this angled connector does not charge the unit, but if you remove it, it works fine. I didn't find anything in the documentation that explains this, but perhaps this angled connector is intended for a different unit.

When my power went out this was a lifesaver due to my ability to use my CPAP machine during the night. I also love the fact that you can charge it using a solar panel. It’s very easy to use and is built very well. The weight is less than I thought so it’s very portable.

I am knocking 1 star off for the unit not coming with an in car cigarette adapter dc cable. You'll actually need to get a D8020 cable to fit the DC input for this unit. Typically one would buy this unit while going camping. It has a solar charger which is great, but on the other hand you are also driving from point to point during camping and there must be an included accessory that it comes with, a car charger cable. Jackery should not cheap out on this. Please include a DC adapter. I noticed your $20 unit was out of stock and a $10 unit with same specs was available on Amazon. It would have completed the parts needed to run this battery smoothly.I have read reviews stating the solar charger never worked. And that's what I thought in the beginning. I plugged in the solar. I got my diagnostic equipment out and realized the solar power was working optimally. Upon close inspection of the plug I noticed that the plug has an adapter that converted the connection to a slimmer center pin. I noticed that you could pull that adapter out and expose the proper size thicker center socket that would fit the DC input of my particular jackery 800 plus batter system. So if you think the solar charger isn't working then check the connection of your DC input. It could be a slightly thicker center pin than the charging cable you were provided with. I believe they are labeled as D8020 or D7919. D8020 has the thicker center pin while D7919 has the smaller one. A D7919 male connnector can fit in a D8020 female plug but it won't work as the center pin is not as thick as it needs to be. So double check your solar or other DC power input cable to make sure that it has a thicker center connector adapter.

I have seen several reviews saying the solar cable would not charge the 600. The cable that comes with the 100w solar panel has an adapter on one end from the factory. The adapter is for charging a 200 or 300 unit. If you take the adapter off, the connector has a bigger plug inside of it. That charges the 600 unit. I have a 300 and a 600. Two different size ports on the units. That is why the cable includes a removable adapter. I hope this helps some people with getting their solar panel 100w to charge their units.

Not sure if it is the purposeless Wi-Fi or the nearly as purposeless Bluetooth, but either way this battery loses power as it charges unless in full sun. Not sure who's idea it was to put dysfunctional charge consuming functions on a battery, but they should be fired. Otherwise, yes it is nice to have a battery that can be charged, from the wall, to provide emergency power or power for camping, though the device simply doesn't function as well as it could or should.

I'm a solo musician and one of the venues I recently started performing at asked if I couldplay outside on a deck where they have no power. I knew about Jackery and had watchedsome videos and reviews. I purchased the 600 Plus and was not disappointed.This bad boy keeps me rocking for hours. My gig money will pay for the unit.Always good to have my own power source if needed. A friend of mine has one andhe recently went camping in the woods with family. They showed a movie and ran some speakersin the middle of nowhere. Said it worked great.

We used the battery for a cpap machine while camping off grid. It lasted four nights. It’s a little bulky but is a great backup.

I purchased the Jackery 600 Plus to power my medical equipment. I live off grid in my van in Northern Canada, annd previously I used a Jackery 500 and an 240 for my needs. I upgraded to the LiFePO4 battery, and my older 500 went to a woman who was living without power. My other Jackerys were charged while driving and from my solar panels. No car charging cable is supplied with the unit - just a 110V cable. This Jackery uses a different pin in its cable, but there is no mention of this on the Amazon site.There are, it seems, no car charging cables available in North America at this time. Dealing with Jackery Customer service has been very challenging. They have apparently shut down their email as multiple emails sent to them through their site form were returned as not accepted. I have spent many, many hours on hold; I have spoken with 2 customer service agents, one of whom absolutely promised that he would call me back within the day and I have stayed in town, on the grid with no reply at all from them.This item CANNOT be returned to Amazon through normal channels as it is hazardous material.So, there are other companies with much better customer service out there - perhaps Delta Flow - and their cables are all included. I want Jackery to accept this unit for refund. Check the BBB listings to see what they think of their dealings with Jackery before purchasing.

Works well but I’ve order 2 and both of them don’t display the wattage when my iPhone is plugged into the ac port have to use the usb c port for it to display wattage draw

Product is fine until it isn’t. I used it as a solar charged power station. From one day to the other the unit is on 0% charge and just shows error code F3, indicating a dead battery. I received this unit 2 weeks ago.Looking at the reviews, I don’t seem to be the only person having those issues.The Jackery Explorer 600Plus is not even listed anymore for sale on Amazon, so I assume there’s a huge number or recalls going on.Contactes Jackery Support. Phone calls just get dropped. 24/7 via Mail? Well it’s been 72 hours now since I contacted them and I haven’t heard back.
