Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. For your first question on charging options, if you do not have a solar panel, the Explorer 290 can be conveniently charged using a wall outlet or a car charger. The product comes with the necessary cables for both charging methods, ensuring that you can power up your device with ease. Regarding your second question about using the Explorer 290 for a sump pump during power outages, it's important to note that the Explorer 290, with a 290Wh capacity and a 200W output power, is not designed to handle the high power requirements of a typical sump pump. Sump pumps, which are essential for removing water from the lowest levels of your home, usually have a horsepower rating of 1/3 hp or 1/2 hp and consume between 800 to 1050 watts when operating. For powering a sump pump or other high-power devices, we recommend considering our higher-capacity and higher-output power stations, such as the Explorer 1000 v2, 1000 Plus, or 2000 Plus. These models are better suited to meet the demands of such appliances and provide the necessary backup power during emergencies. We appreciate your interest in our products and are here to assist you in finding the best solution for your power needs. Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us (Customer Service: [email protected] / +1-888-502-2236 Weekdays 9AM to 5PM PST).
