Once I received the battery the Instructions told me that: “Yes, the Explorer supports pass-through-charging. But we don’t suggest, it will cause damage to battery life”. I am using it for this purpose anyway, for 2 months now, and it is working while plugged into a household 120V power outlet. The charger supports only somewhere around 75-90W so I assume that drawing more power than that constantly would eventually deplete the battery. The modem and computer draw 40 to 50W while on. Using it this way the battery charge level will falsely show that it is slowly going down to 1% and stay there, but if the Display button is pushed for 2 seconds (which turns power off) it suddenly jumps back to nearly full. Based on the instructions a 60W appliance will be powered for 4.5 hours in case of a power outage, but I have not tested this.
In addition, the Explorer cannot turn itself on, so I have it on all the time. But it “turns itself off automatically in 12 hours when being drawn under 10W power”. Because my modem draws only 9W that happened once, and my Wi-Fi went down unexpectedly. When I leave my computer on in sleep mode it adds another 1W and the battery stays on permanently. I will probably replace it with a dedicated UPS battery and just keep using the Explorer as a mobile power source.
I also own an Explorer 1000 v2 which is suitable for pass-through-charging and the low power turn off feature can be disabled.
Only giving 4 stars because of the complete lack of responses to my emails to hello@jackery.com. They claim to respond to this email but I have sent 3 positive emails at different times this year none of which were responded to.
Also giving 4 stars for the lack of a DC extension cable for the solar panel and lack of a temperature controlled charging case/bag. Yes they sell a bag for storage but not one you can keep the battery in while cables are plugged in and it’s being charged or charging. Ironically the panel has to be in the sun but the battery itself should not be as it needs to stay cool or it might explode. A longer dc extension cable and charging case are two obvious solutions to this problem neither of which Jackery has seemed to invest in.
I do like Jackery but there is definitely more “meat on the bone” that the company is currently not offering. They used to have smaller powerbanks as well that they no longer sell and that’s a real shame as it would just add to their solar battery charging system. In my picture I have a mophie battery, but I also have multiple Anker power banks I charge using the Jackery 300 and these are mainly what I use to keep my devices powered. I also have eneloop Rechargable AA and AAA that I also power with the Jackery 300. With my current setup I can offset most of my power needs to solar.
I will be purchasing bigger batteries and bigger solar panels in the future and may continue to stick with Jackery. But if another company introduces a more well rounded Apple style charging system I will have to switch to that because it doesn’t seem like Jackery wants to interact with their customers other than share photos of people using their solar system on instagram (which just helps them advertise their products it doesn’t help their customers at all).
But if you are reading this Jackery this is what I want:
-Solar Panel DC Extension Cable
-Jackery Temperature Controlled Charging Bag/Case
-Revamped Jackery 100 (smaller like the Anker powerhouse 100)
-Smaller Jackery Power Banks (10k, 20k, 30k)
-Jackery Rechargeable AA , AAA, 9V batteries with chargers
-More accessories (usb to dc cables, 12v to usb, 12v to dc, jackery breakout box)
- A jackery charging guide that shows you what you should be able to charge with each unit rather than trusting their infographics which are hard to understand
Some of these do not need to be first party but they do need to be at least recommended by Jackery or made to fit jackery. I just believe by having a wider expanse of accessories to fill more needs would help the Jackery company make more money while at the same time help move more people over into solar power for basic needs.
