I will say that Anker just handled my RMA painlessly. It was for a much smaller battery, but they drop shipped a new one from Amazon within a day of me dropping the old one off at USPS

We need someone to do a test to see which battery setup has the best "warranty claim" system out of Jackery, Anker, Bluetti, and EcoFlow.

They have the newer model listed in the first link for $700. Is that a good value?

The specs look good vs competitors (Bluetti AC180, Anker C1000, EcoFlow Delta 2), but looks like only a two year warranty? To get 5 year warranty you need to pay closer to $999 at Jackery?

It will. Probably could get several hours out of it depending on the model.

The newer model is expandable in power. The 1000 under $500 is a good deal as well.

For power outage usage, number of cyles isn't that important.

What is important is charging times. This model Jackery takes 7.5 hours to charge from 0 to 100%. SLOW.

The AC inverter itself can take about 20W-30W or more. You'd want a device that draws a lot of power like a heater set on Low.

Using DC is more efficient.
I run my Roku when I can from 12V DC output of my solar power bank. I bought a cigarette plug to 5.5mm x 2.1mm male adapter cable.

Even better is to buy a DC adapter for your CPAP machine. It is more efficient to run on DC versus going DC to AC to AC to DC which is what is happening when you use an AC adapter.​

I used them like 2 times for wires, but that was pre-2020 times. Glad to hear they're still doing good. I was considering them or the cheapest refurbished Ecoflow on ebay.
