Run a Jackery Power Station 5x Longer with an External Battery - Bluetti EcoFlow Solar Generator

Do you have a Power Station that powers everything you need but does not last as long as you wish? Don't want to spend a thousand dollars or more to replace?

See how I turned my Jackery 500 from a respectable 518Wh 24Ah power station into a SUPER LONG LASTING 3000+Wh 220+Ah BEAST for less than $550!

((((for less than $300 you can get a smaller 1280Wh 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery and still extend the amount of time you can run your power station)))))))

THIS IS NOT A HOW TO BUT A WHAT I DID VIDEO....

Your 12V voltage converter is only rated to 5 amps, Watts=current X voltage, so 5amps X 12V= 60 watts. You need a 10 amp voltage converter to get 120W max charging.

You must not like coffee. I just bought a Vanpowers 2000w and 2096wh solar generator. It’s awesome 👏 it will power 1200w for 1.5 to 2.0 hours. It’s amazing !

Jackery should make this a feature to increase capacity. They have their own expansion batteries but they cost as much as a new Jackery!

You are cranking up my thinking brain. I just bought a used kayak and the battery that came with it may need to be replaced. I will have to look into lithium trolling motor batteries and see if I can use that as a short term back up for running my car fridge (after getting a Jackery, or some other battery pack).

have you tried charging the external battery via solar via the jackery?

This is exactly what I’m planning for my next rig.

Brought a 1500W generator.. if at all I need.. it charges my ecoflow at 800W and will be full within an hour.. for less than a quart of fuel

So you are saying silently what I have been saying loud, 200 ah plus inverter charger beats spending for a jackery. The inverter usually comes usbc plus other

I'll be anxious to see how it works over an extended trip.

Can you put a link up for the SAE wires/connectors that you used to connect the battery directly to the Jackery? Thanks!

Man is there a simple/safe way to charge this in between camp spots?

Please advise the brand name of this battery, I tried to purchase one but did not find any on Amazon with charger & sub ports. This will be a great addition to my camping gear. Thank you for sharing.

Your solar panel is not directed to sun accurately. It makes huge difference the angle

So basically you're saying, "don't buy a jackery. Just buy a battery, a solar charger/inverter and dc-to-dc charger, etc. it will be easier to expand your battery capacity when needed."
