Testing my little Jackery Explorer 240 Solar Generator

in solar •  2 years ago  (edited)

My Jackery 240 arrived yesterday ( via the Amazon)

Very quick delivery.

It arrived at 46% battery and I plugged it into an AC outlet and charged it to 100% in 3 hours.

Now I am charging my iPad and it looks to be drawing about 8 watts. I will charge my iPad and my iPhone and see how much the Total battery charge drops … then I will take it outside into the sun and see how long it takes to charge back to 100% with the Jackery 100 watt solar panel.

The 12volt DC freezer /refrigerator arrives next week so I will do a bunch of tests with that also.

I will post some videos to YouTube and Dtube.

Update: The iPad charged from 66% - 100% in one hour

Wow, this is a neat little machine. I'm envious! Hey @Drutter, we should get one. $400 Canadian isn't bad. The cooler would be really cool to drive to the city and bring back frozen grocery from Costco. Is that round thing one of those cigarette lighter things or something else?

Certainly seems like a cool unit. But we'd need to do more research to be sure it was the right fit for our needs.

Yes… you can charge from the car cigarette lighter … that’s 12 Volt DC

Yeah!!! This is amazing… let’s us know how it works, I think I will buy in next future

I’m going to run a bunch of tests with 12 volt DC appliances that could run during a black out…
Small refrigerator, freezer, heater, fan, radio, tv, etc etc etc….

Great!

It’s awesome. Charges very fast with the 100 watt panel.
