How Long Will It Run

How long will a Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

A little over a day — 32 h 2 min typically, from 30 h 9 min in the worst case to 33 h 55 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 15 W AC mains socket overhead — 65 W in total out of 2,082 usable watt-hours.

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

  • 4 nights of eight hours, or 1.33 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 2,082 Wh of the 3,024 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,147 Wh of rated capacity — which this station has.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 6,000 W peak — comfortable.
