shepp Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 As many of you know I try to do a solo off grid ish trip every year. After seeing @98Z5V solar kit a few years back I thought man that’s such a great idea. I got reading about a few companies and found this one. It’s one of those things that was more of a want than a need and I’ve had it in my cart for a few years on Amazon. Tonight I noticed it’s 40% off and finally said fuck it and ordered one https://a.co/d/2Zt30dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 I just sent that link to one of my coworkers who was planning a camping trip. smokin deal on that. the 300w generator isn't quite enough to run appliances, but it can damn sure run light kits and keep most small things charged for the whole week.

There’s some bigger ones marked down too, but like you said I’d more need devices, power tools and a few other odd and ends charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably go with a 1000 if I found a deal on one. could probably run a little fridge off that for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted Sunday at 12:45 AM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:45 AM Came today, panel is alittle bigger than I thought, but it’s light weight, and comes with fold out stands. Also has a wall charger and car adaptor, looking at the amount of charges it’ll do in the devices I have charging it shouldn’t be a huge deal, But more is better right?! And options are always good, it came right from jackery, communication and shipping was great, I can’t wait to use it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted Sunday at 01:33 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:33 AM I have one of the Jackery power stations. It works well. So far, I have only charged it using a wall outlet, but it is great to operate a couple of things when you don't want to run a generator.

shepp Posted 13 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 13 hours ago I was curious so I plugged a completely dead Milwaukee m18 battery into it today and then my phone just to see how it worked, if it would do both at once. It handled both at once I was pleasantly surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago I have plugged a battery charger into my power station and charged a car battery for an hour until it would start. I still had plenty of power remaining. The biggest power draw I I ever plugged in was a dual halogen work light I plugged in to it. It would not run both lights at once. The circuit tripped every time I tried. It would run one at a time, but it sucked about 1% of battery power per minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
