What Can Jackery 2000 Plus Run?
The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station can charge an appliance consuming less than 3000W of electricity per hour. Once fully charged, the Jackery 2000 Plus can power air conditioners, space heaters, ice makers, coffee machines, lights, laptops, refrigerators, or other household appliances for hours. Here's a simple formula that will help you calculate the working hours of Jackery 2000 Plus:
Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Appliance
Here's an example:
Suppose you want to charge a portable air conditioner (1000W) with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station.
Working Hours = 2042.8Wh × 0.85 ÷ 1000W = 1.7H
Note: The factor 0.85 is the power conversion efficiency that must be taken into account when charging the appliances with portable power stations. The data provided is just for reference and is calculated when the power station is fully charged.
It's simple to recharge the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station. For example, you can recharge the portable power station with an AC outlet if it's available nearby. On the other hand, if you're traveling or enjoying some outdoor activity, the Jackery 2000 Plus can be recharged with a car charger or Jackery SolarSaga 200W Solar Panels. One thing to note is that Jackery Portable Power Stations feature pass-through charging, allowing you to recharge the power station when powering the appliances. However, it is not recommended for prolonged use since it can reduce the battery lifespan in the long run.
