How long will a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 run a heated clothes airer?
About 2.5 hours — 2 h 31 min typically, from 2 h 22 min in the worst case to 2 h 40 min at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 310 W in total out of 778 usable watt-hours.
No thermostat on most models, so it draws its full rating for as long as it is on — a cover over the load dries it faster and saves hours.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × heated clothes airer, UK 230 V | 310 W | 2 h 22 min | 2 h 31 min | 2 h 40 min |
| 2 × heated clothes airer, UK 230 V | 610 W | 1 h 12 min | 1 h 16 min | 1 h 21 min |
| 1 × heated clothes airer, US 120 V | 310 W | 2 h 22 min | 2 h 31 min | 2 h 40 min |
- 0.3 nights of eight hours, or 0.1 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 778 Wh of the 1,070 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 10,237 Wh of rated capacity — 9.6× this station.
- Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 3,000 W peak — comfortable.
