What Is A Jackery

A Jackery is a brand of portable power stations and solar generators. Jackery products are created to supply electrical power to devices and appliances in places without access to the grid or where regular power sources are unavailable.

How To Charge A Jackery

To charge a Jackery portable power station, you can use one of several methods depending on what's available to you and the model of the Jackery you have. Below are the typical methods for recharging it:

AC Wall Outlet

• This method is the simplest. You just need to connect the power station to a regular wall outlet using the AC adapter provided with your Jackery. The charging duration may differ depending on the power station's capacity and the outlet's power output.

Car Charger

• You can charge your Jackery with your car's 12V cigarette lighter outlet. It's a good option while on the move, though usually slower than using AC charging. Just plug the car charging cable (if provided with your model) into the cigarette lighter port of your car and the other end into your Jackery.

Solar Panels

• Jackery sells solar panels that you can use to charge the power station directly from the sun. It's eco-friendly and great for outdoor activities. To charge, connect the solar panel to your Jackery using the provided cable and place it where it gets the most sunlight. The charging efficiency depends on the solar panel's output and available sunlight.

Make sure to refer to the user manual of your specific model for any special guidelines or restrictions. Charging durations may differ significantly depending on the method employed and the power station's capacity.

What Size Jackery Do I Need

To choose the right Jackery power station, first list the gadgets you want to charge, like phones, laptops, cameras, CPAP machines, or fridges. Find out how much power each gadget uses. Add up the power for all gadgets you'll use at the same time to know how much power you need in total. Think about how long you need to use these gadgets.

Consider Trip Duration and Charging Options

• If it's just for a short trip, you'll need less power than for a long camping trip. Also, remember that bigger Jackery stations take longer to charge up again, so think about how you'll charge it (with solar panels, in the car, or with a wall socket) and how often you'll need to do that to keep your gadgets going.
