Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station, 288Wh Backup LiFePO4 Battery, 300W AC Outlet, 3.75 KG Solar Generator for RV, Outdoors, Camping, Traveling, and Emergencies (Solar Panel Optional)

Well I was going to order the 500 for my cpap machine so when I go camping I can use it without needing to alway camp near power I did some research and found out with plugging in the machine into the ac outlet and using no hose warmer and not humidifier I’d get 8-9 hours of use I the do to ac adapter I got 4 7-8 hour runs on my machine I did it twice for a total of 8 nights with same results with no heated hose or humidifier I’m sure I can use it for a 3 biter with also charging cell phone or laptop but I’m very happy with it’s performance and power ability’s it charges really fast it’s small and easy to store and makes no noise can sleep with it next to your head if you had to this thing is awesome and well built and it does everything it claims to and for under a dollar a watt cone with charging cable direction and a bright light still can’t get over how small it is and works perfect for my use

Works as it should. Durable. Easy to carry, easy to use. Upgraded from the previous version which didn’t have the folding handle allows for more packing options. Can hardly wait to get it out camping this year.

Bought 2 years ago, charged and sat on the shelf unused until now with the power being knocked out by a storm. This battery held it's charge at 100% these past 2 years. My phone, laptop and the units emergency light running; providing time until depleted which says 15hrs. I think this unit would last for about 2 days of usage if I shut everything off when I goto sleep and turn it back on tomorrow evening or a midday charge. Great to have in an a emergency! Quality stuff! Lightweight. Great value.

If it had an additional input for solar, it would be much better. Use case. Running a Starlink mini, a laptop, and iPhone with the 300Plus powered by a solar panel. This scenario requires 1 input for solar, 1 usb-c for laptop, another USB port for iPhone, and AC plug for Starlink mini. If you lock up the USB-C port with solar input, you can't connect your laptop to the device unless you get a brick and plug it into the AC outlet. The point of the mentioned configuration is to keep things light and backpackable. The lack of an additional input port for solar would round the package out. Right now, this functionality can be picked up by Bluetti AC-2A and EB3A. However, the 2A has too little power and the EB3A is too heavy and bulky. The 300Plus being small and lightweight with high 288Wh storage could have nailed it for my use case if it had the extra solar input. But it does not. Will need to return because it does not have the minimal functionality I need.

I'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.

I bought the Jackery 300 Plus primarily to use while camping. We've been through several battery-powered air mattresses over the years for tenting out. But inevitably they all eventually leak and you have to throw it all out and start over. The Jackery has enough power to inflate and top off ANY electric air mattress we choose now, so we were able to buy something of higher quality while not being limited to those mattresses that have battery power built-in. It also worked great to power a Treva portable fan and re-charge all my devices throughout the week. We made it ho9me after 5 nights and I still had 60% power remaining on the 300. I loved it so much, I bought the 1000 v2 to keep at home for power outages!

I bought this 18months ago after a 3 day power outage the city did because of high winds. Since then have used it a few times, charged it up a few times, but havent left it on the charge cable, havent even really brought it outside other than testing the solar on my balcony, it just sits in my loft and I use it occasionally to charge devices. Well tonight we had another power outage caused by wind, the first since the one which inspired me to buy this unit. When I turned it on, the battery aid 76%, then when i went to turn on the USB side it went to 100% then displayed a F4 error code, which is something about battery overload. How the battery was overloaded when it was at 76, with no AC or USB-C input attached, i have no clue. I tried a reset, nothing. I was literally sitting in my pitch black house just laughing at how ridiculous it is that the thing is totally bricked right in the moment it would be most useful. Fortunately we are adults with no emergency need for power for a day or two, but after searching on reddit it seems this is pretty common with this model and the only solution is to contact support. Lucky I guess that its still under warranty, because it broke in less than two years and under 10 uses, but unfortunately, I'll never trust Jackery products to be reliable going forward.

UPDATE: Jackery sent me a new one and everything works good now. Changed rating to 5 stars since it delivers as intended. In theory the 300 plus is a great product. When I unboxed it it was a partly sunny day so I hooked up the solar panel that came with (300 plus with solar panel package) and it started charging! It's winter and the sun angle is low, but getting between 20 and 30 watts was pretty impressive. I tested charging with the AC cord and that worked flawlessly as well. I tried using it connected to an AC 12 watt lamp and it did well also. It even looked like it would run a small crock pot with a 100w draw. 2 weeks later it's a sunny day so I take it out to get some solar to boost it from 70% up, but this time, the display doesn't even come on. I plug in the solar panel and nothing happens. I take it back inside and plug it into the AC outlet. There was an odd smell for a moment but it fires right up and momentarily gave an error code - but still is charging. I took it back outside to the solar panels and still no charge detected. I take it back inside and try to charge via the USB-C input (the same as the input from the solar panels) thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the panels and I get a F9 code and no charge from a 10 watt USB C charger. I then try charging my phone from the USB A and get an F9 code again and no charging. I plug it back into AC and it charges fine. I even take my phone charging cable and adapter and plug into the AC outlet and it charges the phone fine. So I'm not sure what's going on. I've attempted the soft reset, but now I'll discharge it all the way to see if the hard reset fixes it. Either way, I'm pretty disappointed as it seems like the whole USB circuit and 3 ports appears to have failed after only 2 weeks. I've reached out to customer support so hopefully I hear something soon.
