Looks like it does NOT have its own MPPT, you'll need a panel that can produce 5A and within specified voltage range. Some portable panels have USB out in addition to MC4

USB-C1/C2 Input (PD Input)::
100W Max, 5V⎓3A, 9V⎓3A, 12V⎓3A, 15V⎓3A, 20V⎓5A
USB-C1/C2 Input (Car Input)::
60W Max, 11-17.5V⎓5A
USB-C1/C2 Input (Solar Input)::
100W Max, 18-27.2V⎓5A

From the manual, Jackery solar panels can use:
DC8020 to USB-C Adaptor Cable

It caught my eye at first, but it's basically just an 'odd' format USB-C power bank with a fancy screen, yeah. 100W PD in/out is a nice spot to be for a USB bank.. but unlike LFP/solar 'power stations' we're so used to seeing, this doesn't really give you 12V DC output or real solar MPPT input as mentioned.

If that's all you're looking for, go for it

31,000 maH. Although they bury that spec - looks like deliberately - by discussing Wh only.

That's a big powerbank but the sale price is too high, imo, and the msrp is wildly overstated. Enough to make me question any of Jackery's assertions.

Here's a decent 70,000 maH powerbank for ~$40 after clipping coupon. Double capacity, half price, more outputs. Even if they've overstated something, they still undercut this Jackery brick.
MOVE SPEED 70000mAh Power Bank High Capacity, 22.5W Max PD 3.0 Fast Charging, Large Power Bank,4 Outputs 2 Inputs,LED Display,USB-C Battery Pack https://a.co/d/iH80uIV

Edit: Jackery claims 100w PD vs 20 for the one I've linked, so that's at least an advantage if charging a laptop for example. And they're claiming LFP cells. Still high price. Unless I've overlooked a feature?
Watt hours tells a more complete story of battery capacity than amp hours. Some brands can be deceptive and rate their mAh capacity on a different voltage. Watt hours eliminates any potential for confusion.

Protip: Lithium batteries are often made in this Jackery's just-under-100Wh range because airlines typically disallow anything bigger.


Also, 100W PD vs 22.5W is a pretty big deal..

One of the main benefits of this is that it's a LiFePO4 battery which means that it usually can last ~3000 recharges before significantly degrading vs typical Li-ion ~300

So I am kinda looking for a solar water pump setup for my rain barrels but if I'm considering all electrical components correctly I could pay about the same for drip irrigation from my house instead... anyone have some wisdom to drop on me here hoping I'm wrong

I looked through some fine-print.
from the description:
"MPPT technology ensures 99% solar charging efficiency."

also, I was curious about pass-thru charging. From the Q&A:
"Pass-thgouh charing ?
>> replied:
Hi. Yes, the E100 PLUS offer pass-through charging. So, you can charge the unit while using it."

In for one. I just returned from a 3 day camp trip and had to use my buddy's Jackery (same one as this deal). My bud had it power his inflattable matteries, charge their usb camp fans, phones and ipads and also charged my devices over 3 days and it was still around 15% this morning when we left the campgrounds.

The one I linked lists 259 Wh...

But more importantly, maH is a commonly shared spec that Jackery just doesn't list. Their competitors do.

So you can't take it on a plane, where with this, you can.

...and mAh isn't listed because Jackery products aren't typically a fixed voltage output power bank.. mAh ratings only serve to muddy capacity figures in a world of adjustable voltage USB-C PD that could be doing anywhere from 5-20V. Ecoflow and other solar battery/inverter units don't list their mAh figure either because it'd be largely useless for comparison with other similar units.

My laptop is getting old and the battery life isn't great. I think I'm going to buy this as a powerbank instead of buying a questionable third-party battery. You should mention you have to use the coupon on the webpage as well.

Where did you get the 31,000 mAh? I only saw 99.2 Wh on the page. I don't trust random Chinese brand power bank from Amazon. At this price, I think the Jackery is price competitive, plus it's LFP.
