      Dear customer,

      We're very sorry to hear that your unit stopped working after only three months — that’s certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

      Our products are designed to be reliable, especially during emergency situations like hurricane season, and it’s concerning to hear about the charging issue you’re facing. We'd love the opportunity to help make this right.

      Please reach out to our customer service team so we can troubleshoot the issue or assist with a warranty claim if needed.

      Customer Service Contact:
      📧 hello@jackery.com
      📞 +1-888-502-2236 (Weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM PST)

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to resolve it for you as soon as possible.

      Best regards,
      Jackery Customer Support Team Jackery
