  • QuestionDo you have to buy the solar panels separately?

    Asked by MicheleC.

    • Answer It depends on the model that you by. Typically, the unit is sold sperately from the solar panels. Even though the panels at. It scheap, it is an investment worth making because, you can use them basically for free. All you need is a sunny day and time. And then when an emergency comes, you can still use and recharge without power.

  • QuestionCan this power a crock pot?

    Asked by MattWI.

    • Answer It depends on how much power your Crock pot uses. I have a 6quart rock Pot, that uses 280watts. I have the Jackery 240 v2 and just as I expected, it will power that Crock pot, however it will only last about 0.8hours. That’s not nearly long enough for a Crock pot to do its work. Suggestions: - I would only use it on low power. - get a larger power station. Power is precious in an emergency. You can almost never have enough.

  • QuestionHi if i can use for 6 led lights of 20watts each how much hours it will survive?

    Asked by Khan.

    • Answer So, let’s do the math. If you have 6 20watts LED lights, that’s a total of 120watts. The Jackery 240 v2 holds a total of 256Whrs of power. If we divide the Whrs/the Watts, we are left with hrs. 256Whrs/120Watts = 2.1333 hrs. Does that make sense..? Thanks

  • Questionwill the 290 generator work on 50 inch tv for tailgating?

    Asked by tailgater.

    • Answer The Jackery 290 holds 290Whrs of power. So, if your TV runs on 100watts of power, it can power the tv for about 2.5 hours. Time = Total Power (290WHrs) / Wattage (100Watts) Time = -2.5hrs

  • QuestionWith the Jackery Explorer 290 Plus, will I be able to charge my Iphone 14 Pro Max, plug in and use my Honeywell Turboforce Ht-900 11 inch fan, & plug in my CPAP machine all at the same time for 7-8 hours? Or will that be a problem?

    Asked by AlFromCorps.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer 290 Plus, featuring a 290Wh battery capacity and a 200W output power, is designed to power a variety of devices. 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. When considering the simultaneous use of an iPhone 14 Pro Max, a Honeywell Turboforce HT-900 11-inch fan, and a CPAP machine for an extended period, it's important to evaluate the power requirements. Here's a breakdown based on typical power consumption rates: A CPAP machine typically ranges from 30 to 60 watts, potentially increasing to 70–100 watts with heated humidifiers on higher-pressure settings. The iPhone 14 Pro Max charges at approximately 27 watts. The Honeywell Turboforce HT-900 11-inch fan consumes about 35 watts. Using an average CPAP machine consumption of 45 watts, plus the iPhone and fan, the total estimated power draw would be 107 watts. The Explorer 290 Plus, with its 290Wh capacity, would theoretically provide approximately 2.3 hours of runtime for these devices simultaneously (calculated as follows 290×0.85÷107). This estimation does not align with your requirement of 7-8 hours of continuous use. To meet your needs, we recommend considering a higher-capacity power station, such as the Jackery Explorer 600 Plus (runtime 5 hours) and Explorer 880 Pro (7 hours), which offers greater power and runtime capabilities.

  • QuestionHello, would 290 run a 32 inch SMART TV for tailgating and if so how many hours? Thank you

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • 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 32" 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 32" LED TV will consume around 30-55 watts of power, whereas the 32" OLED uses 55-60 watts. The 32-inch LCD TV consumes higher watts, around 50-85 watts. The Explorer 290 could theoretically seperately run a 32" tv with the average wattage of 55W for approximately 4.4 hours (calculated as 290×0.85÷55). 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.

  • QuestionCan this run a Sump Pump? I know it depends on the voltage, but, can you give me a an example? Thanks

    Asked by SteveL.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer series, including the model you are looking at, comes with 120V outlets. It's important to note that the Explorer 290, with its 290Wh capacity and 200W output power, is not designed to handle the high power requirements of a typical sump pump. Sump pumps 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.

  • QuestionI need to connect 7 small string lights. 420 watts total will this small generator work ?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer 290, which features a battery capacity of 290Wh and an output power of 200W, would NOT be suitable for this purpose.

  • QuestionCan I take this on a plane??

    Asked by Tom.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Jackery E290, with its 290Wh capacity and 200W output power, exceeds the UN 38.3 transportation standards for lithium batteries.

  • QuestionIf I don't have a solar panel, how do I charge this? And will it work for a sump pump when we lose power? Thanks!

    Asked by Robert.

    • Answer 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.
