Jackery and EcoFlow are two popular portable power station, also known as solar generator, brands. Both of them do not only manufacture portable batteries for traveling but also solar panels.<\/p>\n
But can you combine the two, by connecting a Jackery SolarSaga panel to an EcoFlow power station, and if you can, how?<\/p>\n
In this article I am going to tell you how it’s done and what you need to know.<\/p>\n
Without further ado, let’s get to it.<\/p>\n\n
Before we get to the adapter needed to make the connection, let’s talk about what we are trying to do here.<\/p>\n
Jackery makes the SolarSaga in three different sizes, 60W, 100W, and 200W.<\/p>\n
One thing they have in common is the 8mm connector. The latest SolarSaga 100X (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> also have the same connector.<\/p>\n The 8mm is a common connector that can be found on a lot of different solar panels and power stations, like Jackery, Goal Zero, and Bluetti. But not EcoFlow.<\/p>\n EcoFlow makes more than one power station. The most popular in the recent years is the Delta with 1260Wh, but lately the smaller River models have also become very popular.<\/p>\n One thing that all of the Delta and River power stations have in common is the XT60 input.<\/p>\n EcoFlow even includes an MC4 to XT60 adapter with all of its portable batteries, so you can easily connect a panel with MC4 connectors like the Renogy 100W w\/ kickstand (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s the panel I have been using with my Delta Max and Delta Mini.<\/p>\n So the problem we have to solve is how to change the 8mm connector on the SolarSaga to an XT60 connector found on the EcoFlow power stations.<\/p>\n Fortunately, the solution is easy. It’s done with an adapter like this by SolarEnz (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The input end of this adapter has an 8mm female connector, which is where you plug in the Jackery panel.<\/p>\n On the other end, there is an XT60 female connector which will plug into the power station.<\/p>\n You can use either XT60 or 8mm extension cables. I suggest buying the cable with the lowest gauge you can find, since that means a thicker cable which will equal less power loss.<\/p>\n I like the SolarEnz 20ft 8mm extension cable (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> which comes in different lengths, but it’s not the lowest gauge out there. I just like it because it fits perfect with the SolarEnz 8mm adapters and connectors.<\/p>\n If you have two SolarSaga panels, be it the 60W, 100W, or 200W, you can combine two with an SolarEnz 8mm Y branch parallel adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe input on the EcoFlow Power Stations<\/h3>\n
