How long will a Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?
About 15 hours — 15 h 4 min typically, from 14 h 10 min in the worst case to 15 h 57 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 11 W AC mains socket overhead — 61 W in total out of 919 usable watt-hours.
The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), UK 230 V | 61 W | 14 h 10 min | 15 h 4 min | 15 h 57 min |
| 2 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), UK 230 V | 111 W | 7 h 47 min | 8 h 17 min | 8 h 46 min |
| 1 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), US 120 V | 61 W | 14 h 10 min | 15 h 4 min | 15 h 57 min |
- 1.9 nights of eight hours, or 0.63 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 919 Wh of the 1,264 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,014 Wh of rated capacity — 1.6× this station.
- Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 4,000 W peak — comfortable.
