How Long Will It Run

How long will a Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

About 23 hours — 23 h 11 min typically, from 21 h 49 min in the worst case to 24 h 33 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 14 W AC mains socket overhead — 64 W in total out of 1,484 usable watt-hours.

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

  • 2.9 nights of eight hours, or 0.97 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 1,484 Wh of the 2,042 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,114 Wh of rated capacity — 1× this station.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 6,000 W peak — comfortable.
