There’s a Jackery sale that starts midnight July 12

I’ve been looking at the Jackery portable power stations and the solar panels. The 500W is normally $667CAD and will be about $530 in the sale. Of course the dollar amounts are much less in US$. Go check them out!

Thanks for that. Just took a look to see if they have a decent Canadian site option and anything around the 500W price point

Pure sine wave inverter
first item I look for when considering inverters
modified will work but more delicate electronics need clean juice

Back in my younger days, 1994, 2 years before retirement, I built an off grid ranch. 60 acres, 2000sq ft home, 2000 watts of sun tracking solar panels, huge 1.5 volt lead acid batteries, and SQUARE WAVE inverters! And best part, it was in the So Cal "BADLANDS"! Of course, back then, it was Jeeps and Dodge power Wagons, and wood stoves! Along with mountain lions, coyotes (4 legged type), and LOTS of pacific rattlers! Loved it until it got to be too much like work.

funny how it is
when you step back and take a look at it
the power grid as we normally utilize it
excluding power plants, more like a giant battery than you'd think
ranch life sounded like a bit of heaven
great memories I'm sure

I have the same one, but blue. It’s very nice. I love the secondary quick pump foot pedal.

I would have picked red if they had it they had it. Black is probably better for me anyways as my hands/gloves are usually greasy/dirty.
My old one was ok but this will be a lot nicer and especially for the 2 door. The old one was a bit short and took 20 pumps to full height.

I’m super excited to use mine. Although I don’t have solar panels yet, I want to see how I go first without the and then may upgrade if needs be
