How Long Will It Run

How long will a Jackery Explorer 1500 Pro run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

About 17 hours — 16 h 47 min typically, from 15 h 48 min in the worst case to 17 h 47 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 12 W AC mains socket overhead — 62 W in total out of 1,041 usable watt-hours.

The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.

  • 2.1 nights of eight hours, or 0.7 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 1,041 Wh of the 1,512 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,048 Wh of rated capacity — 1.4× this station.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 3,600 W peak — comfortable.
