connect plug into the jackery homepower 3000

Step 2: Once the connection is successful, the TV will turn on as usual. Similarly, you can connect any other appliance to the AC output port.

How to Power Appliances from USB Output (Type-A/Type-C)?

If you want to charge or power a device through the USB ports, switch on the main power and then press the USB/DC button. When the POWER button lights up green, the USB ports become active and ready to use.

Step 1: If you want to charge an iPhone using a USB-C to Lightning cable, start by simply connecting the cable to one of the USB-C ports on the Jackery HomePower 3000.

Step 2: Then plug the other Lightning end into your phone, and charging will begin immediately.

If you are using a USB-A port instead, the process is exactly the same. You just need to connect your device’s charging cable to the matching port.

How to Power Appliances from DC Output (Cigarette Lighter Socket)?

If you are using the DC output to charge the appliances, first turn on the main power and press the USB/DC button. When the button glows green, the DC output port is ready for use.

In this example, we will use a plug that converts the DC cigarette lighter socket into a USB-A port, then connect a Lightning cable to charge an iPhone.

Step 1: Start by inserting the conversion plug into the DC output port. The plug features a small blue light that turns on to indicate power is flowing.

Step 2: Next, connect the USB-A cable to the plug and attach the Lightning end to the phone. The phone begins charging right away.

While the above example uses a conversion plug, you can also connect devices that directly support DC output, such as DC-powered fans, straight into the port without an adapter.

How to Charge the Jackery HomePower 3000 via AC Outlet, Solar Panel, and Cigarette Lighter Socket?

There are three ways to recharge the Jackery HomePower 3000: AC outlet (charging from a wall outlet), solar panels, and a car's cigarette lighter socket.

Note: If you buy the Jackery Solar Generator bundle, you will get all the compatible cables and connectors required for connecting the solar panels to the portable power station.

Let's explain the step-by-step process below:

How to Use AC Charging (Outlet Charging)?

If you want to charge the Jackery HomePower 3000 from an AC outlet at home, you can use the AC charging cable included in the bundle.

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Plug the output terminal or outlet of the cable into a wall outlet at home (or any standard AC outlet available in outdoor locations).

plug output cable terminal to wall outlet

Step 2: Next, insert the other end of the cable (input terminal) into the AC input port on the side of the Jackery HomePower 3000.

Once connected, the screen will show the INPUT value, confirming that charging of the power station has started.

Note: When charging the Jackery HomePower 3000 through an AC outlet, avoid plugging other appliances into the same outlet. This is because the standard household outlet (two sockets) typically supports up to 1,500W. The Jackery HomePower 3000 draws close to 1,500W on its own during AC charging. Hence, if another appliance is connected at the same time, the outlet could exceed its limit, leading to charging interruptions or safety issues. Similarly, if the power supplied to the power station is not enough, it won't charge properly. Even if you have a two-port outlet, avoid connecting any other device to the AC outlet when the power station is charging.

How to Charge Using Solar Panels?

When charging the Jackery HomePower 3000 with solar panels, make sure to use the dedicated solar charging cable that comes with your solar panel bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jackery HomePower 3000

I connected the device cable to the AC output or USB output port, but it doesn't work. What's the reason?

The most common reason is that the main power button or the AC/USB output button is not turned on. You need to check and make sure that the buttons are lit green.

If the power is already on, the issue may be a loose connection or cable. You can also try unplugging and reconnecting the cable for a secure connection. If it still doesn’t work, you can contact Jackery's customer support team.

I connected the solar panel, but the portable power supply is not charging. What is the reason?

If the Jackery HomePower 3000 is not charging even after connecting the solar panels, the common reasons could be insufficient sunlight, shaded panels, or incorrect adapter terminals. Let's explain them briefly:

Insufficient Sunlight: If the foldable solar panels are not getting enough sunlight, the portable power station won't charge. You can consider adjusting the solar panel so it faces the sun at a 90° angle.

Panel Partially Shaded: Even a small shadow on the solar panel can reduce its efficiency. Make sure the entire solar panel is exposed to sunlight and free from dust and dirt.

Incorrect Adapter Terminal: The charging cable should be used with the end plug removed (DC8020). If the conversion plug (DC7909) is attached, the power station will not charge.

Where can I purchase a cigarette lighter charging cable?

Jackery’s official car cigarette lighter charging cable is available on our official website as well as popular online retailers such as Amazon. When choosing a cable, make sure it has both a cigarette lighter terminal and a DC8020 male connector.

Who should I contact if there is a malfunction or problem?

If you experience any trouble, please reach out to our customer support team via call and SMS on 1-888-502-2236 (Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM PST) or email us at hello@jackery.com.

Can other companies' solar panels be connected to the Jackery HomePower 3000?

No, we do not recommend using other companies’ solar panels with the Jackery HomePower 3000 because current differences may cause malfunctions.

Does the Jackery HomePower 3000 have a battery expansion function?

No, the Jackery HomePower 3000 is not expandable. If you need an expandable home battery backup, you can consider other models, such as the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus (expandable up to 5 kWh), the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus (expandable up to 24 kWh), and the Jackery Solar Generator 5000 Plus (expandable up to 60 kWh). If you want to learn how big these expandable Jackery models can get, please refer to our detailed guide: How Big Can Jackery Plus Get? Expandable Power and Capacity Breakdown.

Do you sell a solar panel extension cable that can be used with the Jackery HomePower 3000? Also, can I use extension cables from other companies?

Yes, you can purchase the Jackery DC Extension Cable for Solar Panel. It is a 16.4-foot power cable that extends the connection between the Jackery HomePower 3000 and the solar panel. With this extension cable, you can keep the portable power station indoors and place solar panels outside for maximum sun exposure. For safe operation, we do not recommend using third-party extension cables.
