What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

[GeeGee]

Just ordered the final battery expansion pack for my Jackery. 12 kwatts in total. (pics when it arrives)

And here we are:



12 Kilowatts of home backup and 1.2 Kw of portable power for travel and camping

Oh that's a beauty ...
The one on the bottom with the 3 plug sockets ..wow ..
Do you link them or is it just one for each room
I do like a jackery

That's the base unit. Jackery Explorer 2000 plus

All power out goes through this.

The 5 other units are just Batteries, they are all linked to the base unit, each giving 2000 watts for a total of 12000 watts.

That'll keep you going for a little while

Hope so, now to find a sparky who will run surface mounted conduit and plug sockets....

That’s a lot of Jackery. You prefer battery back ups over a generator and do you have solar charging as well as keeping them topped up with mains?

What you doing 4x sockets and 4x plugs to plug it into the jackery? Each socket off a plug ?

Generator is noisy and I'd have neighbours asking to store stuff or borrow one or people willing to steal them.

I have solar but require more so mains top up at off peak.

That's my thinking Andy. Off of 3 on the Jackery though

1. Fridge

2. Microwave /Induction hob

3. Laptop

USB sockets for phone charging and ceiling lighting (8w bulbs)

I could of course just run extension cords but slips trips and falls now hurt a lot more

Ok I’ve been following all this with great interest (we don’t have a generator and still debating the solar options etc) and I’ve, just about, managed to keep up with this but you lost me at ceiling lighting from USB sockets …?

There's a few options most simple is a very small "net curtain hook" screwed into the ceiling centre another near to the wall.. hook light on central hook use a usb A extension cable to turn light then hook cable close to the wall and down to the power station/ bank
