Battery pack
« on: July 03, 2024, 12:39:00 PM »
Im looking power banks like a Jackery.  Something in the $2-300 range.  Something to keep at camp and charge small devices like phone, inreach, headlamp etc.  good options for solar.  What do you recommend

Take a look at the Bluetti AC50B or the EB3A

I’ve been impressed with my buddy’s Jackery 300. It’s at the 250$ price range I think. Holds its charge very well in November Montana cold and can keep a lot of things charged. I’m looking in to one myself. Wasn’t as impressed with the goal zero one I have.

...and how do you charge the battery pack?  If you are going to add solar why not use it to charge a Lithium Iron battery and run 12 V devices from that?  Certainly a less expensive way to go.  You could probably get away with simply charging up a 100 Amp hr battery at home and using it for a week or more without recharging.  You'd need to add up your loads to get the capacity/duration right.

I like my Ecoflow. Recharges very fast on AC and have solar integration options. They are integrating a lot of other options and not just looking at it as just battery packs.
