Last minute camping trip at the safari park. I was surprised with a birthday overnight but needed a portable battery pack and immediately. Amazon Prime offered this with 4am delivery. Product came with 50 percent charge and i was able to charge until 80 percent before we needed to leave for the trip. I decided to leave the humidifier on because its what im used to and didn't want to change. Some sleep would be better than none. 80 percent charge gave me 7 hours of sleep with humidifier on. I probably could have gotten more with car DC cord but i only had AC cord. Works great! get the sleep you need with this 300w. It fits nicely in my travel cpap bag that i also purchase on Amazon.

Camping off the grid can be a challenge. With the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 300 and matching 100w solar panels, we had all the power we needed.We brought several drones, walkie talkies, and other electronics for picture taking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Idaho. We were able to keep all our things charged and available.On our travel home, one family member desperately needed a heating pad for a muscular injury. Our vehicle did have 120v AC but not enough to operate the heating pad.Our Jackery power station was able to keep the heating pad operating while plugged into the 12v DC outlet. This combination to keep the heating pad on was invaluable for the 1,800 mile ride home.I have not found a more compact, light and easy to use power station. Good deal!With its USB ports we kept everything charged. It has a 12v DC jack which did get used also.The display is perfect. Incoming/Outgoing power levels and current battery charge conditions is all the information anyone could need.We are going to get the larger 2000w model down the road for future excursions.

Bought this for power outages, would also be great for camping. It charged pretty quickly out of the box. Then worked great for charging phone, ipad, plugging in a Jettle tea kettle and a Mini Noodle cooker. All the plugs you might need and easy to recharge--either with wall outlet (before power outage:) or with car. Have not bought the solar panels yet, but they have good reviews. Highly recommend.

I bought a smaller Jackery unit a long time ago. I used it occasionally to power a CPAP machine during short power outages. Then we had a nearby transformer expire and we were without power for several days over a weekend. The small unit didn't fit the bill. The larger unit will power a CPAP machine for as many as four nights and has two power outlets rather than just one. I'm very happy with both units. Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to recharge.

(1) In 2-3months I've owned it I haven't charged off a wall yet.(2) Sunny day takes about 4.75-5.5hrs to charge the unit off the solar panel 0-100%(3) Solar power charge rate is 71w(4) Fully charged the Jackery will get x2 Milwaukee M18 extended batteries charged. Draw from 1 battery charger charging extended life battery is 64w.(5) Have put the jackery through 60 charge cycles so far. No noticeable degradation of the battery life yet.(6) Big guy who cant have nice things, haven't broken it yet.With the solar panel. 2 of these units with solar panels would allow you to run an office with a starlink for internet off grid. Is it the best it can be? NO. But its pretty good.

I got this mainly as standby in the event of power outage. I understand its limitation, but it can support to charge / operate essential items for some time. I am only looking at running a small fan and charging the phones. For now, I am using it to charge phone, iPad and some tools. It is working quite well. It shows the wattage drawn shown by the items and also the percentage of the power remaining. Charging the power station itself is fast. Overall, it is a good buy to provide peace of mind when needed. I am happy with it.

When I first unpacked the E300 I was worried something this lightweight wouldn't perform. I was pleasantly surprised. My primary use of the E300 is to inflate paddle boards onsite. The pump runs like it's plugged into a running car, and it only takes 4-5% of the charge to inflate one SUP. I can't wait to see how this thing performs on a camping trip.

I love camping but I have sleep apnea... I was looking for a solution to go camping and get a great night of sleep. This little guy has been great. I used it with my Resmed 10, and after the first night, I had 65% battery life still remaining. This is one of the few generators at this price point that are pure sine wave which is important to prevent damage to cpap machines. I cut off my heated tube and humidification ahead of time to conserve power. I recharged it in my truck for about 40 minutes and I was back to 95% battery life. I did 2 nights with no problems! If I ever camp outside of a campsite I would definitely look at getting some solar panels, but this works great for what I am doing.

I originally bought this in case of power outages. We haven't had too many since I bought this, but it is great to have on hand. Battery stays charged for quite awhile when not in use. I had a small sanding job I needed to do on my shed and thought I'd see if I could use this for my 300 watt sander. Works great. About a 5 minute job used about 3 percent of charge. Better than doing by hand or running a long, long extension cord.

This lil lunchbox will untether you from plug-adjacent seating for probably 2 days worth of full on 100% recharges of your 13” laptop using your charger.The only downside I see are my bum friends who show up with like 15% and need to immediately suckle the teet of sweet lectricity.Charges back to full in a few hours using the dc wall plug, or conveniently with any 70w+ usb C brick.I’ve used it in fairly warm and sunny locations and haven’t noticed any heat failures. It has a small fan which is extremely quiet.Ive used this a ton over the last few months and my only ding is that the USB C plug is looking corroded, which im guessing is from moderate amounts of moisture and electrolysis. Not the greatest, but it’s charging in my sailboat half the time and its probably more humid down there than most places you’ll normally encounter.
