Is Jackery reliable???

[Ndog4664]

Hi, I recently went looking for a small portable power bank with an ac output. I remembered Jackery being advertised a lot on LTT but I ran into an issue of false advertising possibly. Looking at the cheapest one " Jackery 160" the pictures show the ac outlet being 200w but then the specs say it's 100w with 150w peak. Anyone have experience with Jackery and know what to believe? Thank you in advance!

most brands only take pictures of one SKU, and thenbuse those for all models that come in the same form.

it's not uncommon for them to, say, have a 100w inverter model and a 200w inverter model in the same enclosure, and then only take pictures of one model for their marketing.

 

i'm quite used to this with laptops, because most marketing shots are ANSI layout keyboards, even on product pages of ISO layout laptops.

 

it's not false advertising, it's that it doesnt make sense to photograph the same box twice, because the label is different.

At least in Germany it is.

Might be in other countries too, not sure. Just wanted to point that out.

check closely, i guarantee you there's some note somewhere about the accuracy of the pictures.

After some research the usb c port on the Jackery only provides 15 watts so now im looking at the Anker powerhouse 100 because it's usb c port provides 45 watts. I would really prefer 65 watts but I don't know how much I can trust other brands on Amazon. If you happen to know any good power bank somewhere around the 100 -200 Wh range please feel free to let me know. Mainly looking for a 65 watt usb c port and an ac outlet. Thank u for the help everyone!

you're looking for unicorn terretory i'm afraid.

 

so many specific things together arent really made all that often

- 100Wh or more

- AC outlet

- 65w usb-c outlet (presumably also doing higher voltages)
