The Jackery 500 is a powerful little beast. About the size of a car battery, with a hardened plastic exterior and lots of outlets.One night recently we were camping and the heat was unbearable. We had two tents about 25 feet apart.I put a splitter on the Jackery’s 120v power outlet (not recommended) and ran a well insulated extension cord from one tent to the other. I had one fan in my tent and another in my son’s tent. We ran them all night, while simultaneously lighting up my tent with two Jackery lights (using one of the included USB ports) from about 8p to 11p.I was also charging up two iPhones in my tent using the other two USB ports.Unbeknownst to me, my son, in the other tent, put on another splitter at the end of the extension cord and not only ran his fan, but also charged his phone and his laptop. He said he was watching Netflix long after the grownups fell asleep. :)Anyway, the Jackery held its own and stayed on all night and finally ran out of juice around 6am.The next day I set up the solar panel outside and let the Jackery charge, and by the time we came back from hiking for lunch the battery was at about 50%. I realigned the solar panel and it picked up another 40% by about 5pm which let us use it overnight again, but this time we used a smaller load.Great product with lots of versatility and power outlet options. Top notch product and incredibly durable. (Note - the solar panel was bought separately.)Worth noting it comes with a car charger, so you can charge while you are driving, or charge it using a regular 120v plug (cable also included,) or you can buy the solar panel and charge it that way.For outputs- It has three USB outlets, a 120v grounded outlet plug AND a car-style outlet.It also has a digital display that tells you how much power you’re using, and how much battery life is left. And when you’re charging it up again, it tells you how much you’ve charged, and displays the wattage coming in from the solar panel or other powering source.As I said, it’s incredibly versatile, lightweight and gets the job done.

I bought the Jackery 500 to charge phones and watches and so forth while camping. I bought it “refurbished” but to be honest it arrived looking brand new. It connects to and charge perfectly with my Renogy solar panel, then it charges phones and watches, runs lights, fans, whatever. Simple, well made and appears very dependable. Bear in mind it runs devices UP TO 500 watts. Look at the back of your air fryer or pressure cooker and you’ll see they’re a lot more. As long a you know what you bought it for and what you expect it to do, you’re golden. Great product.

I've ran this power supply hard while out camping and it never has let me down.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this unit to provide power to my RosenwaldAcres.com Earth Day acoustic performance stage near the deer pond. It worked fine. Tested it on the video here before the show while plugging in 3 A and ran them for about four hours…I only lost 20% of power. I’m excited!

Some real-world numbers from my use of the Jackery Explorer 500:My CPAP is a Philips Dreamstation with the humidifier attached. I was able to run the CPAP for two nights - a total of 15.4 hours - and the Jackery display shows 27% charge remaining.

They amount of things you can do with a jackery is amazing. I currently use it in my overland truck to power lights and my diesel heater. It does an awesome job and holds power like a champ! I love my jackery!
