How Long Will It Run

How long will a Jackery Explorer 300 Plus run a heated clothes airer?

About an hour — 41 min typically, from 38 min in the worst case to 43 min at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 7 W AC mains socket overhead — 307 W in total out of 209 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.

  • 0.1 nights of eight hours, or 0.03 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 209 Wh of the 288 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 10,138 Wh of rated capacity — 35.2× this station.
  • Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 600 W peak — comfortable.
