Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus to Bluetti Charger 1?

7stones · Jan 20, 2025

Aloha Everyone! New to all this solar electrical stuff....so go easy!

My question is, I have a Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus and Want to install a Bluetti charger 1(dc to dc charger) in my truck so I can possibly charge my Jackery while driving and at a faster rate then cigarette lighter plug or solar. Is this possible? They (bluetti) say that charger 1 will work with most solar generators. Will it work with my Jackery? Much appreciate any and all feed back! Aloha, Curt

I read the specs for both products............

Yes they're compatible.....................you'll need the Jackery solar cable with a barrel on one end and 2 MC-4 connectors on the other end.......and you'll need to download the Bluetti APP to adjust the DC-DC voltage

Thanks for the quick reply abnorm. Now I just gotta figure out how many watts I can set the charger 1 to to fast charge the Jackery? It's a little confusing looking at the jackery site as to what the max charge input is.....200? 400? Or 800 watts? I'm still searching for answers to all of this. But you have been a awesome!

I’d do a little more research. Isn’t there an issue if you set up a lithium battery series with different batteries not the same age or same level of charge?

From the Jackery specs...........DC Input: 12-60V, 8A ⎓ 11A Max,

SO....to maximize the charge from the Bluetti you need to set the voltage near the 60 Volt limit using the App

Lorelei.............NO problem........That's the job of the DC-DC charger...............
