We all love travels and festivals, but it is always challenging to have access to electricity outlet. It appears that market of Portable Power Stations is blooming, and we would like to highlight you some of the best options.
As more and more people turn to alternative power sources to stay away from the grid, portable generators are becoming increasingly popular with tourists, adventurers and environmentally conscious homeowners. But there are many other options. Today we feature Jackery
Jackery manufactures a range of solar panels, portable generators and batteries. The company was founded in California in 2012 by two former engineers from Apple batteries.
The Jackery 1000 is the best-selling portable generator. Jackery prides itself on the device’s ability to withstand heavy use, making it an ideal choice for camping and minibus travel.
Jackery 1000 has a power of 1002 W · h, rated power of 1000 W. This is enough to power a portable refrigerator with a power of 70 watts for more than 14 hours. The device has several sockets, including 4 USB sockets and 3 110 V AC sockets.
The generator has an overvoltage power of 2000 watts, so it is unlikely to explode. It comes with a built-in MPPT charger, which means it can be charged from solar panels right out of the box.
Battery degradation is one of the problems Jackery struggles with. The device is designed for 80% power after 500 full cycles, which can take about two years of intensive use. After that, the battery will hold only 60% of the initial power of 1002 watts.
Pros
Light and portable.
High surge protection keeps the generator safe.
Runs silently.
Cons
Battery degradation reduces device lifespan.
Limited power outlets.
Long charging time.
