  • QuestionWith a 50” tv, how long could I plug in and watch on a fully charged generator?

    Asked by csett8.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Explorer 290, with a battery capacity of 290Wh and an output power of 200W, is capable of powering a 50" tv. To estimate the runtime, we use a straightforward calculation: multiply the battery capacity by 0.85 and then divide by the device's power consumption. Generally speaking, a 50" tv will use between 70 (LED TV) to 150 (LCD TV) watts. The Explorer 290 could theoretically seperately run a 50" tv for approximately 1.6-3.5 hours (calculated as 290×0.85÷150 to 290×0.85÷70). Please consider this an approximate figure, as actual runtime is influenced by the exact power requirements of your tv, additional connected devices, and more. Please check the power requirements of your device. It's crucial to ensure that the total power draw from all devices connected does not surpass the Explorer 290's 200W output limit to prevent system overload. For a precise calculation or further assistance, our customer service team is at your disposal (Customer Service: [email protected] / +1-888-502-2236 Weekdays 9AM to 5PM PST).

  • QuestionHow long can this power a standard box fan? Same question for a space heater.

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this question. This Explorer 290 can power a standrad box fan around 3 to 8.6 hours. Becasue the lowest running watts of a space heater is more than 200W(the continuous output watts of Explorer 290), this item can not power a space heater. The Explorer 880 and 1500 are recommended to you to run a space heater. Should you have other questions or concerns, feel free to contact our customer service. Thank you for your support.

  • QuestionWill this unit power two cpap machines on a power strip simultaneously?

    Asked by Jesse.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question! The Explorer 290 (E290) has a 290Wh capacity with a 200W continuous output. Most CPAP machines use 30–60W each, so in theory the E290 could power two CPAP machines simultaneously, as long as their combined wattage stays under 200W. Please also consider the runtime, which may be limited depending on settings and mask type — likely a few hours for both machines.

  • QuestionWith this run a dorm refrigerator / freezer and a window unit ac?

    Asked by Seddie.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question! The E290 has a battery capacity of 292Wh and an AC output of 200W (rated) / 400W (peak). It may be able to run a small dorm refrigerator or freezer for a limited time, depending on the fridge’s power consumption. However, a window AC unit will likely exceed the E290’s capacity, as it usually requires more than 400W to start and run. For running both a dorm fridge and a window AC reliably, we recommend a higher-capacity power station. If you’d like, we can help you choose a model that better fits your needs. 📧 [email protected] 📞 +1-888-502-2236 (weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM PST) Best regards, Jackery Customer Support
