Unboxing of Jackery Explorer 500 + Charge Time - Mobile Power Station - Off Grid Camping - Vanlife

I recently purchased the newest Jackery Explorer 500, Portable Power Station. How long will it take to charge to 100% out of the box? I chose the 500 vs the 240, 300 or the 1000 due to my power needs for traveling and living the van life. I tried relentlessly to purchase one at a Home Depot when traveling all over but they do not keep them in store. You’d have to order it...Amazon has a much better price from what I’ve seen. The Home Depot sizes are different too. The models they sell: Jacker Explorer 880, Jackery Explorer 550, Jackery Explorer 290. I don’t know why they changed the sizes and no clue why I couldn’t find one for sale at any Home Depot. Another option are the Goal Zero Yeti 500x, Goal Zero Yeti 400, Rockpals 500w Power Station and the Bluetti AC50s. This will eliminate my current needs for a generator!

If you plan to purchase one of these from Amazon, please consider buying via my link below. It does’t cost you any more but it helps my page by giving me a tiny commission based on any sales made via that link.

I was not expecting it to have such a nice build quality and I LOVE the LCD screen. The Jackery is not a cheap thrown together battery pack, it feels very well made. This is my first portable power station and if it works well, I will be buying the big big brother, Jackery 2000.

One huge advantage the Jackery has is that I can charge it with solar panels, 110 outlet at home or via the car cigarette adapter (12v) when I’m driving.. I do plan to purchase some solar panels in the near future.

My main reason to have it is so I’m able to run a fan and my CPAP for when I’m out on long journeys across the country.

Regular Joe is on the road! We are going coast to coast, Florida to Alaska, Mexico to Canada! I look forward to making many memories in this van and sharing them with you. From boondocking at a Cracker Barrel or stealth camping in random locations. I look forward sharing a nomadic life. I doesn’t stop there. I love to travel abroad and that is where we will have the most fun!

Thank you for watching my content. Staying busy trying to be the best vlogger I can be makes life a lot easier on me and I'm very humbled by your attention.

If you'd like me to come to your city, let me know. I would love to be shown around or to interview unique people. I look forward our journey.
