Q: QuestionHow long g does the battery run! I am asking like hours does run like 3 or 4 or what I need to no that befor I buy one! I am on oxygen and have a phone and would need a light so please help me! I can't afford a real expensive one!!
Asked by Ann.
- A:Answer With electricity, everything is dependent on the draw of energy from you devices used. So, to answer your questions one by one - you mentioned that you have a phone. Depending on the size of your phone, it can likely charger your phone about 4 times fully. If you are powering a low wattage LED light, those don’t draw a lot of wattage you may be able to power that for 10-15hrs - it just depends on the power of the light. The good thing is, the Jackery has a light on it. In an emergency it may be best to just use that light. It will be bright and effecient and save power. No matter how you use the Jackery, it will alway tell you how much time you have left with what you have currently plugged in. I hope that helps.

Q: QuestionMy Jackery Explorer 240 won't hold a charge anymore. Is there a replacement battery?
Asked by JD.
- A:Answer Sorry to hear that about you Jackery 240. There is good news though. The Jackery 240 v2 does have better, longer lasting and safer batteries now. This device has a 10yr rating and after that the batter will still charge up to 80%. If you have the 1st generation model, it has approx. a 3-4 year lifespan. If it has been shorter than that you should be able to petition Jackery with your receit for a replacement or repair.

Asked by MicheleC.
- A:Answer It depends on the model that you by. Typically, the unit is sold sperately from the solar panels. Even though the panels at.

Q: QuestionCan this power a crock pot?
Asked by MattWI.
- A: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.

Q: QuestionHi if i can use for 6 led lights of 20watts each how much hours it will survive?
Asked by Khan.
- A: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

Q: Questionwill the 290 generator work on 50 inch tv for tailgating?
Asked by tailgater.
- A: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

Q: 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.
- A: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.

Q: QuestionHello, would 290 run a 32 inch SMART TV for tailgating and if so how many hours? Thank you
Asked by Anonymous.
- A: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.

Q: 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.
- A: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.

Q: QuestionCan you charge a 12v marine battery and for how long? I am thinking of purchasing to recharge a deep cycle battery used for a trolling motor.
Asked by Brian.
- A:Answer Dear customer, thank you for your inquiry about the Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer 290 has a capacity of 290Wh and a power output of 200W. Typically, a marine deep cycle battery requires a significant amount of energy to fully charge, and based on the specifications of the Explorer 290, it may NOT be able to deliver the necessary power to fully charge such a battery. For your power needs, we recommend considering a higher-capacity power station. Our other models on official website, such as the Explorer 1000 v2, Explorer 1000 Plus, Explorer 2000 Plus and 3000 Pro series, offer greater power and battery capacity and may be more suitable for this purpose. If you could provide us with the specific details of the marine deep cycle battery, such as power consumption and amp-hour (Ah) rating, we can offer more precise guidance and recommendations.
