What Can Jackery 1000 Run?

If you’re using your Jackery Solar Generator to keep a refrigerator running during a power outage, you can easily calculate the working hours using the Running Time Simulator/Calculator available on the product page. By visiting the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 v2 product page and entering the refrigerator's wattage into the Running Time Simulator, you’ll find out the estimated runtime.

The power station's pass-through feature ensures you can keep charging the appliances while recharging the power station. However, it would be ideal to recharge the power station when it's ideal to increase its lifespan.

Home Backup

The Jackery 1000 is a versatile, compact charging solution that can run small and midsize home appliances during brief power outages or brownouts. For example, it can charge a refrigerator, CPAP machine, lights, laptop, coffee maker, WiFi router, TV, smartphones, and mini-fridges. It's great for brief power outages but not for a whole home backup supply.

Note: The running time is calculated when the Jackery 1000 is fully charged.

The Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station has a large battery capacity that can charge 99% of household appliances such as refrigerators, ACs, heaters, TVs, electric stoves, etc. It is also expandable, and the additional battery packs let you expand the battery capacity from 1.2kWh to 5kWh.
