Jackery: utter environmental waste. Batteries cannot be replaced so total waste of plastic / electronics particularly in locations with no electronic recycling (which is mostly a joke anyway). If you want this kind of device, at least go with a brand with replaceable batteries to increase the lifetime of the product. Oh yeah.. plus Jackery solar panels cannot be left out in the rain. Such a joke.

I bought an Anker F3800 to see if it fit in my backup power plans when my house has outages. I decided I don't want to keep it, they won't let me return it despite being well within their 30-day return window. Seriously considering a chargeback on my credit card for the first time.

Why using solar panels in the rain 🤔 ?

I was looking for products like this to power my C-PAP machine during blackouts. But I can't get an answer on how long it would last while outputting 90 watts. The actual device uses 24 volts DC @ 3.75 Amps, so presumably bypassing the AC inverter and power supply would make it last longer. But then of course none of these devices output 24 volts. :rolleyes:

It looks to me like the batteries would represent at least 80% the cost of the device. So replaceable batteries would not save you much money, and would make the product more expensive.
