That's some drop test ... what a plonker of a delivery driver.
Glad it's working for you.


Yeah at first I thought he must have jumped the wall and left it down beside the wall so it wouldn't be stolen but when I looked back on my cameras I seen the clown just drop it over the wall😱 lazy bugger☹😏

Seems they have all started. 45% off Bluetti as well.

Still waiting for Jackery to provide details of postage. They use the Shop app which is showing it as ready to be shipped since I ordered it 6 days ago. I didn’t think buying a power station would be so trying. It’s time to email them. 😡

Tuppence for what it's worth, got the ecoflow delta 2 (not max or pro) just before Christmas, pretty happy, particularly with things like the cigarette charger and 400w solar panels (clumsy, but effective once up! - head out of the gutter folks)

Fast charge at home in an hour...laptops and phones all good, but haven't found much use for it with things like air fryer etc

So, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 arrived on Tuesday. Impression so far are good. Tried our small kettle, used 5% and the toaster used only 2% of power. It’s going to be very useful as a back up the next time we have a big storm (in another 20 years). 🙄

Our Bluetti with AC switched on but nothing plugged in uses 73 watts to keep the inverter going so if not in use make sure to switch AC off. Use DC if you can.

Hi Ally, you have 0w AC going out but it is turned on if you left it on with nothing plugged in then it will still drain your battery gradually, the 73w is grid input even though it says it's 100% charged you have AC turned on which means the inverter is turned on inside the device and with it being a large 3000w inverter it more than likely does use around 70w ish to power it this is why even though your B300K battery has 2764wh of capacity you need to deduct around a quarter of that to compensate for whats called inverter losses when running anything via AC this is why using DC is more efficient and devices run for longer as you will get the full 2764wh from the battery when using DC. Hope that explains it a little better for you.

I'm going to renege on my new found amazing product.

You already have one in your van, if you use an inverter.

A pure sine wave inverter in your van coming off your leisures and powered by the sun is exactly the same and a new solar generator is a waste of money if it's only to be used for the van.

Wire the inverter to a switch so that it can power all of your van like ehu, even change your batteries to lithium and you have exactly the same thing.

I purchased mine for my off grid use at home, then thought great idea for the motorhome.

It's bulky, it's damn hard to keep charged, a B2B is the same as a charger1(charging of alternator) I already have the basic system in the van and it's unneeded expense.
