I created my own system using 12 LTO - 40 amp batteries, into a battery box that looks like a normal vehicle battery, I estimate it at 5.6KW. Just add inverter of desired size for about $500 for myself or so depending. Cost total about $1000 +/-
Charging is another matter and a extra cost - I am connected to a small solar system (rated 700 watts) and if needed a 12v battery charger for rainy days as I use this system daily to save on grid electricity costs and we have evening rates versus day rates. LTO batteries are tested to be fire resistant and are a lot safer than other Lithium batteries as from what I seen in testing.

Very happy with the results of this DIY build and sure a lot cheaper.

98% efficiency - estimate 20 year life span or 25, 000 cycles.

I've used the Jackery 1500 since April 2021 and they do make a decent product. One problem also mentioned is their proprietary input plugs which limits the user to use their solar panels. I checked their web page and so far they do not list the specs nor did you consider the charging plugs. Unlike other companies which now have comparable solar generators, their input methods are universal. Bottomline: Jackery is overpriced and should stay with their original mission and that is supporting portability for outdoor use.

at a starting cost of 3300 for a single base unit, these still are well beyond the reach of a middle class family on a reasonable budget. And assuming they still build them this way, the plastic housing and non-replaceable batteries in jackeries are unacceptable features to me.

But it is nice to see these companies finally switching over to the iron phosphate batteries though.

I like that jackery is keeping up with things being able to add batteries and run inline with wifi controls is really a step up! the next step up is more power or a 240 whole house power unit.I would definitely add that to the mix if it were available.

This is honestly a pretty insane level of expansion. Not to mention the fact you can make 220 amp outlets at 50amps is kinda crazy.

Your hair dryer example was very Humorous 😂

Thanks Chris for the update on the Jackery SG 2000 Plus. I’m still looking but the price is what I have to be careful with. A Budget is a Budget. Stay safe everyone and keep prepping every day.

Amazing how Hobotech's and your review hit YouTube at the same time. This is a solid unit, with dual MPPT inputs for the inverter unit AND each battery unit! Charge everything at once (if you have enough panels and cables!)

I purchased the 3000 Pro at its release, and I wish I would have known about this unit with its expandability.

Look at you posing like a rockstar you get it boy

[drescherjm]

I like the reviews so far on these units however several people say you are basically required to use Jackery's solar panels. For me that is a deal breaker.

This is closer to the Jackery system I've been waiting for.

[chancepaladin]

I assure you the jackery station is... fully... operational.
If this's how far we've come with lifepo4, I can't wait until the semi-solids have matured.

[robotica]

If I could, I would. Same for a nice Bluetti, etc.. Love the possibilities!

[proficientprepper]

Seems like a nice unit and now a real competitor to other brands such as Bluetti and Ecoflow. However, their price is a little steep for similar models from the other brands.

[curtbrackenrich]

I've been comparing Jackery to Bluetti to Ecoflow, since to me these seem the top 3, with Anker a close 4th. Ecoflow and Bluetti seem to compete agressively for my business, but for the life of me I have no idea why anyone would pay the premium that Jackery charges. Based on the comments here I'm not the only one shaking me head at their pricing.

Right now the Bluetti AC180 looks to be the best bang for my buck as my first portable power station, especially the launch price. A comparable Jackery unit is hundreds more, and I believe has the older Lith-Ion battery tech instead of the newer (safer) Lith-Phos batteries.

I'm loving the technology. It may be time to start looking for an off-grid home, or buy myself a cargo van to convert.

Not a fan of the single product ad videos. Would always prefer see head to head product comparison. For example, how does this stack up against Delta 2 Max.

[dropshot]

the hairdryer demonstration was especially impressive. LOL.

I love the jakery system use it while camping
