Today we're going to be taking apart this 240 watt portable power station called the

We're going to see how it works from the inside.

This guy can charge your phone up to 18 times.

It can even run a TV for a couple hours if you're out in the middle of the woods and

Normally this thing costs two hundred and fifty dollars which is a very fair price.

But for one day only, on December 14th, 2019, there will be a $75 discount – 30% cuz it's

Which makes this the best power deal that I've seen so far in 2019.

So if you've been thinking about a portable power station – now's the time.

My favorite part though is that you can get detachable solar panels so you can go completely

This 60 watt foldable panel can charge the power station in about 7-10 hours on a sunny

And if you want to get super crazy, this 100 watt solar panel chargers even faster.

The LCD screen shows exactly how many watts are being used in the USB ports.

You can use all the ports simultaneously.

And even better, you can use the outputs while charging the power station, whether, you know,

plugging into a wall of with a solar panel.

You can see exactly how many watts are coming in and going out.

This thing has a lot of power inside which makes it far more dangerous to take apart

You should not attempt to take one of these apart on your own.

It is dangerous and does void the Jackery warranty.

There were 6 screws along the back and 4 more screws along either side of the Jackery 240.

This is my first time inside of one of these, so we're kind of just winging it.

It turns out the orange plastic vents along the sides act as little plastic clamps holding

both halves of the power station together.

There almost isn't even any need for screws with this design.

I found a few more screws underneath the bright orange feet – 4 of them to be exact.

And once those are out I can gently pry the two black plastic halves apart.

The information sticker at the bottom is the final boss, but once he's cut in half, the

Nothing is attached to the back plastic chunk, but there is a whole lot of cool looking stuff

This pulls air through the unit to cool down the circuits while it's converting power from

DC to AC, or while it's trying to power multiple devices all at the same time.

Four or more screws and a plethora of wires hold the battery pack to the front housing.

I'll wiggle the battery away and then start unplugging the connectors inside...just like

The one on the far left is for the 12 volt car charging plug.

Then there are larger red and black wires for the battery portion of the unit.

And another pair of large power cables for the AC power.

There's also a little 40 amp fuse in the front.

We still haven't found the batteries yet so let's keep going.

Four more screws hold the motherboard to the top of the battery compartment.

Then I can pull the motherboard away, revealing another 5 screws holding down a large plastic

This little guy has the fan attached to it.

Finally, I can peel back the final plastic layer revealing a grid of 28 cylinder batteries.

Very similar to the battery packs that come out of electric vehicles.

Or even the Tesla power walls that people hook up to roof-mounted solar power.

You could say that the Jackery is kind of like a portable power wall for off-grid traveling

The 28 little cylinders combine to make a total of 16,800 milliamp hours, or more importantly,

I did try to pop off the top of the battery housing to see if it would come apart easier,

but it was most definitely not designed to separate.

And batteries this big aren't something I want to mess with just yet.

Plus I do want this thing to work when I put it all back together.

All of these circuits inside the Jackery 240 include the BMS, or battery management system,

which enables the short-circuit protection, the voltage control, and that temperature

Lithium batteries like the ones here or inside of your cellphone, or even electric vehicles

Meaning below freezing or above 40 Celsius.

So if you're going to store batteries for a long period of time, try to keep them at

Also, don't let lithium batteries die completely – they don't like that.

They last a long time if you take care of them.

I'll get the final 6 screws screwed into the back panel.

And would you look at that, everything still works.

Remember, the Jackery 240 and the 60 watt solar panel are both 30% off on December 14th,

I'll leave a link in the description for ya.

And thanks to Jackery for sponsoring this video.

I plan on doing a lot more solar projects in the future.
