Anyone see this jackery generator sale posted all over Facebook? Too good to be true?

nope never seen it on social media. some ads are "targeted"

Post a screenshot. Don't spread some suspicious site.

At least 1 security scanner lists the site as malicious, and the links are shady, so probably a scam.

Seems like the brand sells on Amazon. Go read some reviews. Though not sure if that is even their official domain

Anything advertised on the Internet is most likely a scam.

Anything advertised on Facebook is almost certainly a scam.

That Amazon thing seems real, it even has its own well performing stock

As for Facebook i have to agree, as High Expectation Asian Father once said:
Facebook? Why don't you face book and study?

Yes, confirmed fake...thnx

$69 for a $500 battery pack? Yeah right…

Those prices are laughable.
That said i only wish they were real

Lets take that 1002Wh power bank, the batteries would have to cost about $30kWh to make it work (they cost maybe $500kWh retail). Then somehow the inverter another $15, $10 for the casing and components and another $10 for the charge controller. Transportation and marketing another $5-10.
These prices are unrealistic in 2021.

That said if they were selling them at an extreme loss to clear out inventory i would still expect it to cost $300-600.

The actual manufacturer site is jackery.com.
The price for the model 1000 unit is $999 USD, not $69.
Teardown:

if your worried about fakes or getting scammed, just go and buy it from a big box store like canadian tire or home depo or something similar

If CT has a $1300 power bank for $69 i most certainly would.
Thats out of whack for even CT's "sale" nonsense.

Not sure about CT but Canadian Tire had a battery pack for like $100 bucks, works good for small appliances and tools.. Just because you saw a $1300 one in an add does not necessarily mean you NEED a $1300 one, you can be fine with a $100 to $400 range for one

We are talking about one of the specific ones posted.

But the different one you mention, is it lithium and how many Wh?
Also 120V out plug?

no idea but just because you see an add on face book for a so called generator does NOT mean you must go and buy that exact model, if there is one on sale at crappy tire and it does 95% of the same thing, but its genuine and not a fake ad, why not. just go for it get the real thing from a reputable store and call it a day

This is the ad with that suspicious discount. I almost clicked it but as some stated it's really too good to be true

The wholesale price of the batteries is much higher than the purchase price.
Its a fake unless someone is stupid enough to give away well over a thousand dollars per unit.
