Commenté aux États-Unis le 7 septembre 2023

I am the owner of several Jackery products, and I am very satisfied with their products. Some background about myself. I like outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, beach picnic etc. My biggest hobby is track day, and this hobby is the reason connects me with Jackery products. Given that cars are constantly pushed to the limit on a track day, cars break down and needs to repair or fix all the time. Before I was introduced to Jackery’s products, I was using an old school gasoline type generator to power up those car fixing tools such as electric jack, impact gun, drills, etc. In addition to that car fixing equipment, the gasoline type generator was also used to power up camping equipment for me staying overnight on a racetrack.The gasoline type generator works but was inconvenient. The generator itself is bulky / heavy, spacing consuming and dirty by burning gasoline; additionally, gasoline is dangerous to carry, and it has a bad smell, because of this, I started to look for an alternative to gasoline power generator. My friend referred Jackery power generators to me and I decided to give it a try. The first power generator I got from Jackery was 1000 Pro and I had a positive impression (you can check on my review on 1000 Pro on Amazon) with Jackery product. After the 1000 Pro power generator, I realized that I need a power generator with bigger capacity for extra juice for my track day camping and car fixing equipment, so I bought a 3000 Pro power generator (you can also find my review here), and again my experience is positive.Given that those 1000 and 3000 Pro power generators are too much for beach picnic and short camping trip, so I decided to come back to Jackery again and look for a smaller power generator for some lighter outdoor activities, and I come across with Jackery 300 plus portable solar generator. The 300 plus solar generator is about 11 lb with a dimension of approximately 10” x 7” x 7” with a foldable handle for carrying. The power station comes with an AC charging cable, a DC7909 to USB-C Adaptor and a foldable solar panel (approximately 10” x 12”). On the power station, it comes with a digital screen showing the status of the power station. It has 1 AC output at 120V, 1 USB-A output, 2 USB-C outputs, and a flashlight. The power station can be charged in several different ways such as wall outlet, solar, USB-C, and car.The power station arrived in time for my short beach picnic during the Labor Day weekend. I used the wall outlet to charge up the power station to about 70% in about an hour, and then the solar panel for another 10 % in 1.5 hours. When the power station is being charged, it is not noisy and there is no overheating issue, the power station just feels a little bit warm. There is an app you can download to monitor the status of the power station via Bluetooth. During my entire day on the beach, I used the power station for a small cooler, a small fan, phone charger, and a Bluetooth speaker, and with the solar panel connected, I only used 7 % of power for the entire day (approximately 10 hours). At the end of the day, it was easy to pack and go. It is a good-looking, user-friendly small power station for short trips and small electronics. I would recommend this power station to other people.

Ich verwende zwei Solargeneratoren von Jackery (Explorer 240 und 500).Mit den Produkten bin ich zufrieden, auch wenn ich mit mancher Detaillösung nicht ganz zufrieden bin.Gerade bei der neuen Jackery 300 Plus vermisse ich einen vernünftigen Anschluss für Solarpanel.Es ist schon nicht optimal, dass es für die älteren und die neueren Solargeneratoren zwei unterschiedliche Anschluss-Stecker gibt (8020 bzw. 7909) und man zum Teil immer mit einem Adapter arbeiten muss (je nach Kombination zwischen Jackery-Solarpanel bzw. Powerstation).Aber bei dieser kleinen und an sich wirklich gut konstruierten Power Station kann man jetzt nur noch mit dem beiliegenden USB-C Adapter laden.Damit muss man je nach Solar-Panel dann zwei Adapter gleichzeitig verwenden, um mit Sonnenenergie laden zu können.Das ist für einen regelmäßigen Gebrauch eine wackelige, zu weit abstehende – und damit keine gute Lösung für die Praxis und den regelmäßigen Einsatz, finde ich (siehe Fotos).Auf einen festsitzenden und langlebigen Anschluss für Solarpanel zu verzichten halte ich für einen wirklichen Fehler – egal um welche Powerstation bzw. Kapazität es geht.Na ja, bei der angekündigte Explorer 100 Plus (Mini-Größe) könnte man den Verzicht einer Anschluss-Buchse für ein Solarsaga-Panel noch verstehen.Aber die neue Jackery Explorer 300 Plus ist ein prima Dauer-Partner für z.B. ein SolarSaga 100W Solarpanel!Warum man hier – bei einer Neu-Konstruktion auf die EIGENEN Solarkabel und Anschlüsse keine Rücksicht genommen hat und – eine solch fehleranfällige und wacklige Lösung mit USB-C-Adapter gewählt hat, ist mir ein RÄTSEL.Eines muss man jedoch sehr positiv hervorheben:Der Service von Jackery ist hervorragend!Erstens sind die Reaktionszeiten wirklich kurz und zweitens sind die Antworten nahezu immer qualifiziert und dem Problem beziehungsweise der Frage angemessen.

I bought the Jackery Explorer 300 and the day it was delivered I found out this newer model existed, so I returned it and ordered the 300 plus.There is no power brick to lug around. The AC charger (included) plugs right into the wall and is the same standard AC cord that my computers have used for decades. I don't know how many amps this thing pulls so I will try not to lose the cord. It charges at 199 watts from a standard wall outlet.It's a little bit bigger, taller, wider, thicker and heavier than the 300, but not by much.The two 100 watt USB C outlets are perfect for my needs and the AC outlet works.There is no 12V car charger included. I'm using the 12V out from the 300 and plugging it into the included USB C adapter. It's charging at about 55 watts from the 300 and the cigarette lighter charger in my car but only if I use the cable from the older 300 model, which I have to return.I cannot get it to charge with a USB C cable plugged into a an AC adapter the way I did with the earlier model. My iPad charger and my phone charger do not charge this thing. I have a Samsung charger which puts out 45 watts, it does not charge the Jackery Explorer 300 plus at all. All of these chargers work with the Explorer 300. My new laptop charger does charge it at about 64 watts. I don't know if it can charge with both wall current and USB C at the same time and will update this when I find out, that could cut charging time in half, the way it did on the previous model.No 12V DC charger is included. There is no way to charge this with my car without the 12V DC cable from the Jackery Explorer 300. The 300 plus should not have shipped without this cable and the company is out of stock of 12V DC cable until next month. If you need to charge it with your car you will need to get creative. I was allowed to keep the cable from the 300 for $16, so it's alright.If they had included that absolutely essential cable I would have rated this 5 stars. It comes in handy.

The product worked as advertised. I plugged a few items to see what it was capable of charging and most small items such as phones, tablets and a rechargeable flash light had no problem getting charged with this device. It even powered a small compact fridge for approximately 4 hours with a full charge. The thing I like the most is the display will tell you how much life you have left on the battery not only in percentage but also in time. Overall I would recommend this product.

I bought this 300 Plus for my son for Christmas. I have the 300E that has worked very well for me. The 300 Plus in my opinion is quite a bit nicer, I like the 120 volt AC output, the LiFePO4 battery, the internal charger, and the over all design of the case. The only thing that I miss is the 12 volt DC dust cover. I think that this little guy will be a winner.
