it's not very often that i get to open
up something this balls to the wall insane this video
is sponsored by jackery and this right here is the explorer 1000
it's a battery bank but uh
it is like no other battery bank
that you have ever seen it's got
usb's up the yin yang it's got full-sized
ac power ports it's got usb type
c it can deliver up to a thousand
watts sustained and it can even peak at apparently
2 000 watts and this puppy
will even run crazy things crazy things
like an electric grill for they say up to
50 minutes i believe is the rating that is
freaking nuts so let's have a look at it i mean this thing is basically just
pure unadulterated rugged battery
it's got rubberized feet on the bottom down here you've got the full
oh wow you got the full readout here it supports qualcomm quick charge
it's rated to charge from the wall in about seven hours and then
about double that depending whether you're using the car charger
that's sold separately or the solar power adapter which is also sold
separately and weather dependent up here on the back
you've got well not a whole lot of much of anything
over on this side we got oh look at that hello got a little little
lantern on the side some ventilation holes over on this side
more ventilation holes that makes sense given there is a whole
freaking mess load of battery in here and
over here we've got a couple of different options for input so there's
your wall adapter there's how you would probably plug in
the solar adapter i would i would assume that it's got an lcd display so that'll give
you some key stats it looks like we've got about 28
battery left on this one did we pre-charge this one or the other one
i guess not so we're pulling it right out of the box it is normal for
batteries in a device like this to come not pre-charged because that actually
helps them last longer in the long term and then it can output basically
anything you want type c you got a couple of those two regular
type a's you've got one of those car 12 volt ones that can do up to 10 amps
and these puppies right here are what i am really interested in so these
are apparently pure sine wave 120 volt
outputs which means you could power basically anything you
want off of this so naturally to find out if that's true
i have got myself ah yes there it is
jono if you please a gaming pc
with a 2080 ti that is really going to
be uh stressing it to the limit this is actually insane like the last time we
ran a pc sort of off-grid we used a generator but
options like this just didn't exist at the time and if they had
i mean it's pretty freaking compelling because yes
it's heavy but i was also hamming it up a little bit like it's
very carriable if you don't need to do something as overkill and crazy as an
HDR monitor and then a 2080 ti equipped gaming rig like if
you're running something more reasonable like uh you know a laptop or something
like that we're already pulling 40 watts and that's just the backlight on this
display let's go ahead and fire up the machine shall we
oh wow you could hear the fans ramp up but
now they're off i'm sure those are going to ramp back up again
195 watts okay
there it goes yeah that's what i was expecting
i mean taking the dc power from the batteries and converting that
to pure sine wave ac power
that you need you need a little bit of coolant for that i have faith
i have faith though in the engineering apparently the company was founded by an
ex-apple engineer who left in 2012. so they've been clearly at work
on this for quite some time 240 watts i mean we could start with
just like you know browsing the internet you know go to uh
exciting websites like lttstore.com the
abcs of gaming get it or your kids will suck at games
oh yeah the ShortCircuit long sleeves if you're uh if you're a lanky boy
or a lanky lady with the very long sleeves those are back in stock now
as well for well until we run out of them basically of course
that's not that impressive i told you guys this thing could handle a thousand
watts that's only like 200 watts or web browsing here we got to
step it up so this is a ryzen 9 3900 xt
and a 2080 ti and we are gonna fire up a
game what do you guys want to see should we start with something light cs
go this monitor alone can suck back like well over 100 watts
when it's working hard in HDR mode csgo is not an HDR
compatible game but just something for you guys to know as we uh
keep going here there's nothing about this gaming experience that is
any different from what i would expect if uh
you know i was just plugged into the wall and we're not faking it guys
there's our power cord there's the whole cord
whole cord going on the wall whole cord going to the
power adapter for the monitor
i mean i know you guys trust me implicitly anyway but there it is that's
all the power cords it's all coming out of the jackery let's
play some video games 330 watts this is ridiculous
i could have two of these plugged in jono is that 26 percent now
yeah well i mean we're not sucking back the whole thousand watts i was actually
um i was kind of expecting this to pull more power
you might have to bring me more stuff johnna i'm gonna need more stuff jono
yeah it's dark jono i'm feeling dark and
cold man you guys are going to get so much
use out of this for on location stuff
that is freaking sick thanks jono
i gotta gun down some more terrace real quick here one sec
24 still how many rounds have i played now
four or five it's like one percent per round i could probably game
on a desktop for longer on this than you could typically game on like
a gaming laptop away from the wall and no performance compromises there's no
like power saving mode nothing like that we are just
we're going here boys how many watts is this puppy
120 watts oh well boys we ain't done yet
then what else can we plug in like can i have like a lap
maybe a gaming laptop or wait i've only got so many plugs on this
as thing yeah cubetap would be good okay
we're ready ah what are we at 520 watts
we're still going boys
i'm actually gonna fire up hopefully uh an HDR
game as well thanks jono this is ridiculous
i'm gonna play some doom eternal on battery hello acer
there it goes 1920 by 1080. that's
that's pleb stuff where's my 4k option oh is this only a 1080 oh this is 360
hertz right oh i thought this was a different monitor sorry guys i was mistaken this
is not the monitor i thought it was it is HDR but it's not the like super
power hungry one that that i expected it to be uh let's go
ultra violence continue game let's go
ahead and in the time that i was getting the benchmarking set up on this laptop we
actually ran out of battery because i had the game running so we grabbed our other unit which
started with 41 and we're gonna see how hard we can push it here so
you guys ready i'm firing my laser
ah we're at 516 watts
i'm firing up the level here we're at
740 watts i'm firing up cinebench we're at 830
watts let's play some games let's play some do maternal
39 3900 xt we've got 12 cores running on
battery here ladies and gentlemen we're we're running at 270 FPS
300 FPS 280 FPS
on battery
oh it's done hold on let's hit it again hit it again we got to draw more power
37 we're up to 850 watts
this is it i don't have more power jono the power level
it's over 9000 if this looks pretty good to you and you could see yourself using
it or maybe someone else as a christmas gift
they're going to have a promo running from december 7th to december 13th
with 10 percent off either the solar generator 240 or solar generator 1000
we're gonna have the links down below gotta play more video games now
see you later don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit
what are we at 32 still this is
ridiculous remember though this is the a second
unit but still i've been playing on this for more than 10 minutes and we lost like
eight percent i'm sorry oh my cinebench
is done we gotta do more cinebench
