How long will a Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus run a heated clothes airer?
About 4.7 hours — 4 h 44 min typically, from 4 h 27 min in the worst case to 5 h at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 14 W AC mains socket overhead — 314 W in total out of 1,484 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 | 314 W | 4 h 27 min | 4 h 44 min | 5 h |
| 2 × heated clothes airer, UK 230 V | 614 W | 2 h 16 min | 2 h 25 min | 2 h 34 min |
| 1 × heated clothes airer, US 120 V | 314 W | 4 h 27 min | 4 h 44 min | 5 h |
- 0.6 nights of eight hours, or 0.2 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 10,370 Wh of rated capacity — 5.1× this station.
- Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 6,000 W peak — comfortable.
