Jackery Solar Generator 500 with Accessory Cable

Excellent customer experience when I had some confusion on delivery of the various components. All delivered, excellent packaging. Now in process of charging for the first time.

It’s a good size with a quality feel and rounded edges and a good fold away carry handle. At 17.7kg it’s not light but manageable and i think lighter than similar units on the market. At 2000Kw it's well sized to deal with most requirements for a reasonable length of time.
I very happy with my purchase

Great bit of kit! Very pleased !
Bought for emergency use and camping. Was told about it by my builder who uses one all the time for work and swears by them.

I bought my first Jackery in December 2025, the 2000 v2 and then the 1000 v2 in October 2026.

Space and electrical power are two critical factors influencing off grid living so having the best form factor in class it was an easy decision choosing the two Jackey’s and combined with my leisure battery I now have 9600 Wh to facilitate a new way of life.

However, I have one functional criticism of both units, if the power stations are left on for perhaps 30 minutes or longer the phone smart app losses control of the unit and the Jackery must be ‘reset’ by pressing both dc and ac outputs simultaneously for a few seconds to regain remote control.

Well packed. Delivered in good time and product covers my needs

This a practical and versatile light for camping and blackout situations. Light intensity and colour is adjustable for a cosy feel. Not quite as bright as I was expecting though, so less useful as a task-light.

Recommened ...I'll be ordering a second one !!

Brilliant portable power bank and solar panel. Bought this primarily for camping but have already found it invaluable for my business too. The unit is compact and the solar panel is robust yet portable.

Loving it, got it for my hut to power lights and my tools absolutely fab piece of kit so I bought another one for the patio a good purchase.👍

Bought this mainly for emergency power at home, though might get use of it out and about too.
Tested it on my fridge freezer, it ran it for near 24 hrs using about 55%, so it will save my food for a couple of days without mains power.
recharging the station in the garden I find the solar panel works well, ive seen its input well over 150w when the sun is full on with varying levels when the clouds blow over, recharged about 10% in a couple of hours with today being bright and sunny with some cloud.

I’ve had my Explorer 500V2 for a couple of weeks and so far I’m impressed.
Build quality appears solid and the materials appear a high standard.

It charges on AC power in just over an hour, as expected, and its discharge performance has met my expectations. It charges small devices brilliantly via DC, and when I’ve used it for AC it performed well. I hooked it up to my living room setup for an afternoon running my 50 inch TV, soundbar, SkyQ box and Xbox, which drew a total of about 90-100W, and it ran smoothly for 4.5-5 hours or so without any issues. It had about 10% remaining.

There was a slight buzz from the inverter while running AC power so I wouldn’t want it running in the bedroom overnight without earplugs, but for daytime use it was no issue at all.

The one time I’ve managed to set up solar charging with my Solar Saga 100W (limited sunshine in the UK at this time of year) it drew 90-110W, which exceeded my expectations for October! Setup was very easy.

Having researched its performance before purchasing, I’m very impressed. It has met my expectations and appears to be high quality. It’s just the right size to act as a port source for camping for my family, and should do nicely for a short-term backup of essential devices in the event of a power cut.

A nice little unit with decent options. The lighting is adjustable via a little knob on the top and allows both bright white lighting and a warm yellow glow as options. Charges via USB and also allows charging devices via USB. I've not tested the longevity of the device yet but other reviews seem positive.

Really pleased with the lamp. Received next day after ordering. Bright enough to light up a room. Quick to charge.
Now ready to grab when we next have a power cut.

In car charger - great for keeping my 1000 v2 chargers while on the move

1000 v2 - great power pack, runs my compressor and powers a job site perfectly

Really good fast charger . Very pleased
