ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )

My Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-7hours depending of method. With the included AC or 12 volt car charger it charges at 62 Watts and is fully charged in about 5 hours. I wanted to charge it while camping using solar so i bought a ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ).

According to Jackery’s manual it can only charge at about 60 Watts max, so buying a 60 Watt portable solar panel seemed like a great idea. Generally the more solar panel wattage the larger your panels will be depending on how its packaged. I wanted something light and compact and had a max charge of 60 watts so i dont damage my Jackery Explorer 240.

The ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) works fine on the Jackery 240. I got about 30-40 watts in full sun which was expected as the the manual says it would take about 7 hours to charge using a 60W solar panel.

I generally follow the sun during camping. Moving the panel from my car’s windshield, to the car roof, then to the rear window and trunk, while camping and get a good 4-5 hours of charging in. There are eye holes to hang or tie down the panel as well. I have the Jackery Power stateion ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in my car when charging and just have the wire go into my door weather strip.

Pros:

  • Compatible with other power stations
  • Compact folded size
  • Good / expected charging speed for solar.
  • Thick cables.
  • Three USB charging ports – well positioned in the storage area.

    Cons:
  • Slightly heavier than other folding solar panels due to wiring and packaging.
  • May need a chair or car to act as a stand to follow the sun.
  • Folds out at 4 feet or so, not as convenient as simple 2 fold panels.

Overall its a good performer and gets the job done. Makes for a good gi I would have wanted a solar panel kit that produces closer to the 60W output, however that would mean getting a larger 100 W solar panel for the future.

HOW TO: CONDITION LEATHER – I kept my 15 Year old leather jacket from DRYING OUT and cracking by conditioning the leather every 8 – 12 months with Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC ). I show you how I have been doing it for my trusty leather jacket.

NOTE: If you love your leather jacket or apparel, then bring it to a professional leather cleaner to have it properly cleaned and conditioned. Use this info at your own risk. I have been conditioning my leather jacket for over 15 years, you should bring your jacket or leather to a professional.

The leather conditioner adds oils to the leather to keep it supple. After drying, the surface of the leather is not greasy. Its super easy to use and apply. It takes about a day or two completely dry after being absorbed by the leather. Keeping leather supple prevents leather from drying out and cracking.

Stuff used in this video:
Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC )
Microfiber towel ( https://amzn.to/3DLP5l9 )

  1. I usually clean my leather with a moist warm microfiber towel ( https://amzn.to/3DLP5l9) to wash off any dirt off the leather. I dont use soap. Just water. and dry off with microfiber towel.
  2. Let the leather surface is dry.
  3. Shake the Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( https://amzn.to/3FmqUKC ) well and apply to microfiber cloth.
  4. Test the conditioner on a small area hidden area of the leather to see if how the product reacts to the surface (color change, texture, smell). If test results are good, then continue.
  5. Shake to mix, and apply to towel.
  6. Work on one leather panel at a time for consistency.
  7. Wipe on a thin coat to let it absorb into the leather.
  8. Wipe off excess.
  9. After applying to entire piece, let dry and review for missing spots or extra dry or flexible leather areas (shoulders, under arm, pipping )that need conditioner for added suppleness.
  10. Review the next day if second or third coat is needed for color consistency or more leather suppleness.

Repeat every 6-12 months depending on leather condition.
