Jackery... What re you doing!? It doesn't mater what Jackery unit your are trying to buy, if you purchase an older style Jackery Power Station - you are getting scammed! There is no way these old units should be sold at the same price as their new power stations with LiFePO4 battery chemistry.

Brought the older model on sale for 45% off. I’m happy with it

[nairbvel]

Reminds me of the time (a few lifetimes ago) when a high school friend got fired from his job at a now-defunct famous major retailer for refusing to put a big "SALE!" sign on a lawnmower than had just had its price *increased* by about $20.

Appreciate you exposing Jackery as a scam

[Dan-vijp]

The inverter or some other electronic part is going to fail way before the battery capacity falls below 80% from cycling on either of those.

Lithium Ion refers to all different kinds of lithium chemistries, including LifePo4 chemistry, and NMC. Both LifePo4 and NMC still use lithium ion transfer as a means for providing power. The older Jackery uses NMC chemistry cells, which certainly have their place. Higher energy density for their weight, something I have use for. For my use case, I'd actually opt for the NMC version, being that it is more compact, lighter, and I won't be cycling it much. NMC is the same chemistry used in things like your phone, tablets, and other portable devices as it offers a higher energy density than LifePo4.

I suppose there's a use for those little boxes. What I don't like is how so many of the companies selling them imply you can run your house on them for days and days. There's only so many amp hours in the box and you only get to use them once before you have to recharge.

[benladin]

Thanks for catching that. Im glad your calling out company that do shady stuff .

“Scam” is pretty harsh. There’s also a new 1000 v2 out now. All three are on sale right now…and Jackery products go on sale frequently anyway. I already bought (at the intro sale price) and use the new v2 and only bought the NMC 1000 about a year and half ago (on sale). I’m happy with the v2 so far, and you guys should review that one too.

I think any of the 3 are a great value at the current sale prices. I do not own the Plus version. Almost got it…and probably would’ve if not for the v2.

[travails]

Not the biggest fan of Jackery (imo they are overpriced), but this isn't a scam. LiPo lasts longer but weighs much more. It's a tradeoff.

I got a 500w Jackery, old design, about 5 years ago. I think I've charged it like under 10 times. It holds the charge until I use it, and it's still doing the same job whenever I need it. Which is not very often granted. No regrets though.

They should drop the price, you're right for making the video. If I were getting one today, I wouldn't have known the difference.

[davidwilker]

I wish I had seen this before I bought mine. Let the buyer beware, I guess.

[simpleme]

The older one are on Amazon for $579- NONREFUNDABLE 😏

[timfuller]

These things are getting cheaper every year. Pay your money and take your choice. I have the original jackery 1000. It works just fine and is lightweight and can’t see any reduction in power to date.

[JS-lsiu]

I was just talking to a friend about them having a low life cycle. He was like dude they are at like 4000. I was like last time I looked it was like 500. Glad I am not crazy.

[Average_Middle_Aged_American]

Nobody is buying the 1000 for $999.
Retail is $599 and they go on sale for $549 or $499 regularly.
The 1000 plus retailed originally for $1699 and sales for $799-999 regularly.
There is also 1000 pro which is priced between the two models.

[riverbender]

Thank you for that excellent information!

[MariE-gool]

Omg thank you for telling me this!!! I just couldn’t understand why the newer version was only $100 difference and I just kept thinking something was wrong. Thank you for clearing that up!!

[mattbosley]

The 1000 and 1000 Plus are no longer the same price. The Plus is $200 more, although both are on sale right now. And there's also a 1000 v2 which is cheaper than the 1000 and has less surge power output than the 1000 even though it has the same capacity. I bought an Ecoflow, though. The Jackery only comes with an AC power cable. The Ecoflow comes with multiple cables including AC, car charging and solar to connect to my existing portable solar panel. And it was on sale as well because of Amazon Prime day. But I didn't have to be a Prime member to buy it directly from the manufacturer at the sale price.

The old jackery style is on Amazon store for $549 right now.
