5.0 out of 5 starsI’m a scout leader and do a fair amount of camping. I recently got a CPAP and needed something that would power it. I was skeptical of this little thing when I got it but really wanted something reasonably portable and sturdy that I can toss in the back of my truck or troop trailer when packing, would last at least 2 nights camping, and would be easy enough to carry for a few miles to a camp staff building where I could charge it if needed. I’m happy to say after my first weekend trip with it I believe it will be all of those things for me.My first night I got it I tested it out at home. Charged the unit up and plugged my CPAP into the AC inverter with my machine running as I would normally use it at home… The battery only lasted about 5 hours any my wife complained about a slight fan noise (from the inverter) before giving out. I plugged the Jakery in to charge and power pass though worked great until the unit was charged then it stopped and switched back over to battery mode and the battery ran down again.Night two I plugged in a DC adaptor I purchased for my CPAP and found I could almost make it though a night. The Jackery lasted about 7hrs before the battery was dead. Proving the DC converter was more efficient.My 3rd night I ran the machine with the DC power converter turning off the humidifier, heated tube, and (something else). This time the battery was only at 87% after 7.5hrs of sleep. Note this was my first time turning all the comfort features off on the CPAP and it really was not that big of a deal. Yes nice to have but not musts for me.Having proven itself I took it camping with us this weekend and it worked great. I used my CPAP both nights, charged my phone and watch off it while still having about 60% power left. I am pretty sure it will make it the full week through summer camp without charging and if it does need charged it seems I can charge to 100% in about 2hrs on AC if needed. Yes I could buy the solar panels but it seems like one more thing to hope does not get broken and most of the time our camp sites are in the woods with a fair amount of shade. I’m wondering how the battery will hold up during winter camping and I’m sure as we start training and doing more backpacking trips I’l need something smaller and lighter but for now this fits my requirements. Looking forward to more well rested nights in the woods and while at anchor on our boat.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis jackery is the right size 📏for remote work 💻travel🚗. I can use this generator for a whole day🗓️ with one full charge 🔌and several devices plugged🔌 in. It’s easy to carry. I purchased the suggested carrying case🎒. I have enjoyed this item while traveling🚗 constantly for the past 90 days. All I can say; “go get you one!” 🤓

3.0 out of 5 starsThe product was easy to charge and use but I purchased it to run a tool at our cabin and it wasn’t strong enough to run them. I didn’t know that 300W is really only for small devices. I needed to turn the jackery and haven’t decided if I will purchase the high power one I would need.

5.0 out of 5 starsLooks like it is going to work well for its money.

3.0 out of 5 starsThese products are supposed to be brand new right? My product came in. I was not able to connect through the app because it was connected to somebody else already and you can tell it has been used by the markings on the edges.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe ability to run multiple AC 110v items off of a 300w inverter battery is what sold me. It hasn’t errored out a single time. It doesn’t get hot, and the battery lasts longer than i expected. I just love this little beast! Its built well, and I don’t regret buying this one over all of the rivals… this was the right choice for me!

5.0 out of 5 starsWhile I couldnt run out charge a lot of items in my house when I lost power, I was able to run a few lights, charge my phone and do a few things with it over two days and nights. I bought this for camping and it came in handy for a power outage as well. You will need a bigger set up to run a heater depending on wattage/draw.

5.0 out of 5 starsPowerful battery back-up charger is a must have for all homes!! Keep those tablets and phones charged, along with medical equipment and more. I was shocked how reasonably priced this is for the amount of time it charges. It is super light and portable, absolutely silent, and charges all types of devices.

1.0 out of 5 starsI’ve uploaded 2 pictures the first is from Amazon and directly off Jackery website. It clearly shows both USB C ports are 100w. The second picture is the unit I received. It shows 1 USB C port at 15w and the second at 100w. I called support they weren’t helpful and pretend the picture was to blurry to read. They said this is the new unit and the specs show it’s 15w for the first USB C port.I’m going to try it out for a week, but very disappointed and might return this as the whole point was so my kids can both power their laptops at the same time while driving. 15w isn’t enough to do this. I was willing to pay extra for double 100w ports, but this doesn’t meet expectations.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery happy with it .It’s 300 watt and won’t run My 1 cup coffeemaker so I will be getting one with more wattage later but it does charge my little battery TV mu cell and few other things under 300 watts. It also charges fast from wall outlet .Again very pleased with it .

5.0 out of 5 starsI charge my phone whenever I am sitting not close to an outlet. I use it camping with a night light.

5.0 out of 5 starsI bought the Jackery 300 Plus solely to keep my phone and Point-of-Sale unit charged when I do Pop-Up Shops and Farmer’s Markets as there usually isn’t access to power sources and constant use of apps on my phone drains the battery quickly. We used the generator at a 6 hour event and only went through 25% of the battery. I am so pleased to know that I can do an all-day event and have no problem continuing to take credit card payments since actual cash transactions are less and less common. The unit is light weight and easy to use. There is an app for it but I haven’t played with it yet. This was absolutely worth the investment!

5.0 out of 5 starsI purchased this product for using my CPAP while tent camping. The unit is lighter than you think. I ran it first with no heated tube or humidifier for 8hrs and it only used 73% with a DC adapter plug. Everything I read on Reddit stated you will get more life. The DC plug for my unit was easy to find and cheap. The following night I ran a heated tube only and still had enough life to run one more night. This unit will also support the charging solar panels.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe usb/c port is super flimsy to use as a solar charger, and also missing the second 120v AC por that the older Explorer 300 has. It also heavier.

4.0 out of 5 starsWhen you’re deciding if 293 Watt-hours are enough, you should know that the user manual says you should recharge soon once you reach 20% battery left, and completely stop use at 15%. That means you’re really only playing with 220 – 234 Wh. That’s perfect for my needs (portable astrophotography), but that might not be enough for you.

5.0 out of 5 starsBought to power a portable refrigerator during a family vacation. Worked absolutely perfect. Folding handle was nice to save on space.

2.0 out of 5 starsA 300w kettle takes 8 min to boil with it and it drained each time 15/20% of the battery, it s too late to send it back now but for the same price go for another brand with more capacity, or buy a better model…very disappointing for the price. Who cares about the design if there is a blackout?

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Period

2.0 out of 5 starsLoved it at first, after 100 or so charges the Jackery will shut off with 20% power remaining. Expected a little more battery life for $300Jackery Explorer 300. Less then 2 years old. Moderately used.

5.0 out of 5 starsI did a ton of reviews and chose this one for many reasons. It took me a while to do the review I wanted to test it out a little. Absolutely love it high quality very cool. I got a spectacular deal on it I think. I paired it up with four of the emergency lanterns so I have power when I need it if the power goes out. Highly recommend this product. Bush radical on YouTube and girl in the woods on YouTube both recommended it. So I bought one and I love it..

1.0 out of 5 starsThis battery could barely charge my phone 4 times! I’ve had better luck with smaller and cheaper battery bricks. This thing is not worth the price tag!!

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks very well and easy to use! Bought it to supply backup power to a 12VDC inverter for a car photo shoot. It lasted several hours and met our needs perfectly. Prior to this I’d use a PC Power Backup which would only last less than an hour since the primary use is not long term like the Jackery.

3.0 out of 5 starsThis is for the 300 PLUS…The unit itself; there’s a lot to like about it. Easy to use, holds charge well and look forward to our next camping trip. HOWEVER-if you want to plug in a solar panel to charge the darn thing (which was my main draw to this unit) , I have found this to be nearly impossible to be acceptable-likely due to the USB-C port on this unit. (The plus). I tried multiple highly rated 100w units. One only drew 30W max on a severe clear sunny day. The other…0.00!! My last try is using the Jackery SolarSaga (which is allegedly compatible with this unit). If it works, then know that this stupid port must have been designed to force you to buy Jackery’s outlandishly priced solar panels-which is AWFUL. I’ll update the review, but if the Jack-wagon panel doesn’t work, it’s ALL going back and I’ll get a different unit altogether.UPDATE: There is a filter on the Jackery Unit specific to the USB-C connection that makes the connection work. Other products do not have this… I imagine you could purchase it seperately, but know this about the 300 Plus/Solar Charging via USB-C.

2.0 out of 5 starsVery disappointed with the explorer 300. Let’s start with the 300 itself, It showed up with a 43% charge and I charged it to 100% rather quickly with ac charger, charged my ipad and iPhone and ran it down to 52% and they both charged rather fast but the 300 would not except a charge at this point, charged a few more things and got the battery down to 22% and it would charge again. After proving out the device will not charge when the battery is above 50% is either a defect or flaw to me as my plan was to use camping with a solar charger. As for the solar panel, when I opened it did not resemble any of the panels they show online and very disappointed with the cloudy screen on it. As for what it should handle the concept is great, 2 usb ports, 1 usb c port, 2 ac ports, the cigarette lighter adapter, ac charger, and solar panel charger are a great way to use this. Unfortunelty for $500.00 this battery did not hold a charge long at all, and the inability to re-charge the battery when above 50% to top it off is extremely disappointing.The bottom line i could not find the value of this item at it’s price point and it has been returned.

4.0 out of 5 starsPurchased this as I am a PI and needed a portable power source for use on surveillance operations. I have pressed it to see how long it’ll last but it’s incredibly convenient and seems very well made. I have charged it completely and left it for weeks unused and it’s maintains the power perfectly. I am a big fan.

5.0 out of 5 starsI like the fact that this battery pack is small and easy to use. I had my first power outage today since purchasing it and it powered my 55 inch TV for one hour and 50 minutes on a full charge. I guess it’s time to go fire up my gas generator until the power comes back on.

5.0 out of 5 starsI’ve had my Jackery for a while, so this review is from a long-term experience. The plugs fit well, and it stays charged for a long time. It has been in my basement for months at a time and is still charged when I get it out. I’ve used it for camping, hunting, and for my business at tent-type festivals, so I don’t have to find a power source for the lights, computer, etc, Buy a case for it. It makes storing, carrying, and keeping up with the accessories easier.
