I bought this as a gift for my son, who’s currently living the van life in a converted medical bus. When plugged in, it charges quickly and powers his devices just as expected. It’s not a heavy-duty unit, so it won’t run large appliances like a refrigerator, but it’s perfect for laptops, phones, fans, and similar electronics. I gave it four stars instead of five because the included solar panel is only 40W — it does charge the unit, but he’ll likely upgrade to a more powerful panel down the line.

the best thing I have bought in a long time. We have rolling brown outs during the summer and I use a c-PAP. I can have 3 nights sleep with this battery. It actually charges quickly with the panels

I’m in love with my purchase from Best Buy! This portable power solar generator by Jackery was exactly what I needed to power my tv and charge my phone during a bridal show expo. Light, compact and effective, this no-fuss setup was a breeze and easy to charge. I love the features and the solar panel that that came with my generator. I’ve recommended this product to my family and friends and will definitely purchase more Jackery products. I’m a loyal Best Buy customer for life!

Great storage battery for smaller devices. My wife and i use it to keep our phones charged and a small fan running while we are at various vendor events and have had no problems.
The only reason i gave this 4 instead of 5 stars, the solar panel flops alot does not have any type of stand to help aim the panel at the sun. And you will discover a slight change in angle, will strongly effect how well the panel supplies power to the battery pack.
In conclusion. Battery, great! Panel works, but not well.

A Must-Have for Camping and Emergencies

Absolutely worth the investment. I originally purchased this for camping, and it exceeded my expectations. During our 4-day trip, it was used daily to top off three air mattresses and charge multiple devices, including cell phones and Apple Watches. By the end of the trip, the battery was still at 60%—and we never even had to use the solar panel.
Fast forward a month to monsoon season: we experienced a power outage, and I realized I hadn’t recharged the generator since the camping trip. It was still sitting at 60%, yet it powered a stand-up fan for about 1–2 hours, giving us much-needed relief on a hot, humid summer night. It truly was a lifesaver.
Now, my friends and family are all interested in getting one too.

Lost power 2 days after purchase and this item worked great to keep our phones active, required for some medical needs, and allowed us to have a couple of fans to keep it cool while waiting for power to come back.

Beginning Prepper

My son is a "prepper". While I don't buy into all his ideas. I do recognize that it wouldn't hurt to be prepared. If nothing else, it would be good for bad weather and power outages. I charged the Jackery with it's included 40w solar panal. It worked. It took several hours (Maybe 6? to charge 50%) I bought a 100w panel and tried it. It worked much faster. (less than 3 hours.) I love the screen on the Jackery. When you plug something in, it tells you what the usage is and how long the Jackery can run that item. (Laptop approx 2 hours, small desk top fan over 24hrs.) when you are charging it, it tell you how long it will take to charge. I was disappointed that the unit is not strong enough to use a coffee maker or hot plate. That is due to my ignorance on what those items need. All in all, I am pleased with the Jackery. I have alreay used it to do work on my laptop outside, charge my phone and run a fan at the beach.

Dear customer, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with the Jackery E300Plus + 40W Mini! We are glad to hear it has worked well for you in various scenarios, including using it for your laptop, phone, and fan. We appreciate your feedback on the charging speeds—it's great to know the 100W panel worked faster for you. We also value your comments about the display; we designed it to make it easier for customers to track their power usage and charging time. As for your experience with the coffee maker and hot plate, we understand these devices require higher power outputs. For those kinds of devices, we recommend considering the Jackery E1000 V2, E2000 V2 or higher-powered products, which are better suited for providing stable power to high-wattage appliances. If you’re interested in these options, feel free to contact us, and we’d be happy to help you choose the right product based on your needs. We’re pleased that Jackery has met your expectations overall, and we’re happy to hear it's becoming a reliable tool for your preparation needs. If you ever need assistance or advice, feel free to reach out to our customer service team ([email protected] / +1-888-502-2236, Weekdays 9AM to 5PM PST). Thank you for choosing Jackery!

Honestly, there’s not much I can really say, besides that it works really good. It’s reliable. The solar panel does A good job charging The unit pretty quick.
I connected to 18 V batteries to charge them and 140 V battery and it did a pretty good job on all three. And still had about 25% life left in it.. .

This jackery did an amazing job powering my travel size pit boss grill for a whole day of cooking. Between the battery and solar panel, we had the grill and two speakers plugged in for over 8 hours and never went below 30%.

Bought this because the power was out for 3 days after a storm. It powered my CPAP machine and a fan all night and barely used half the charge. It's really well made and solid, but easy to carry around and charge.

This was exactly as described. Came with 30% charge, so plugged into home outlet and took maybec8 hours to get to 100%. Light, compact, sturdy,and solar panels fold into a laptop size. Nice!

I absolutely love this solar powered battery generator. Honestly suits all my needs and charges to full while I am at work, super light and completely stupid proof. I’m still putting it through the wringer due to the jackery warranty being amazing. Thank you best buy for such a seamless purchase. The Waterford location in CT is HIGHLY recommended. Thank you!

This battery and solar panel work very well. Angling the panel to face the sun helps with charging. It has all the connections i need to charge my electronic devices, though haven't tried cpap yet; that will be game changer!!

The battery works great. However, solar power does not work. I charged for 3 hours in the high sun, but it did not charge any.
