  • QuestionHello, Anyone that has this would this power a bed with a lift? I ask because my mother is elderly and has a power lifted bed. Unfortunately when the power goes out if her bed is lifted she can be stuck. Could this be used to lower the bed?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer You may consider investing in one of the higher wattage designs. The 290 is better for more basic usages. For instance this would not power a coffee machine.

  • QuestionMy APAP is 6.67 amps. How long will this Jackery's battery last?

    Asked by Craig.

    • Answer This is a high amount of current for a device. You will need a significant sized power station to run this for long periods of time. For example, the Jackery 1000v2 can hold approx. 1500whrs of power. But, to run that device at 6.67 amps, it will only last about 1,5 hrs. You should consider the Jackery 2000 or 3000 for that situation.

  • QuestionCan this charge a 48volt e-bike battery

    Asked by Sklah.

    • Answer Dear customer, the Explorer 290 power station typically provides AC and DC outlets for powering or charging various devices, but it's essential to understand the specific requirements of your 48V e-bike battery. If your 48V e-bike battery can be charged using a standard AC charger, you may be able to use the Explorer 290's AC outlet to charge it. However, you should ensure that the wattage and voltage requirements of the e-bike charger are compatible with the power station.Thank you.

  • QuestionIf I'm buying the jackery 290 through acima and it gets stolen 5 days later how can I get it replaced?

    Asked by Charles.

    • Answer Buy another one..this thing is very small, about the size of a lunch box. Not heavy at all. You could put a gps tracker in it, but it is better to keep it locked up and use long cords I bring mine in the house when I don’t need it outside. So I can use it if a Florida thunderstorm takes out my power. I put it in my shed and hook in my solar panel to run my lights and a fan and some chargers. I can leave it locked in the shed or I can remove the 2 cords( solar panel and power strip) and take it in the house with me. I can lock it in my car but I don’t like leaving li-on batteries where they might get too hot. Might not be an issue but I don’t want to risk it

  • QuestionWill this power a wood pellet stove for 20 minutes if my electric went out?

    Asked by Nothappy25.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this question. A pellet stove is an appliance that burns wood pellets as a heat source. The wattage of a pellet stove can vary, depending on the model and its efficiency rating. A good range for average models to look at would be around 13-18 watts per hour (WH). You can use it for 11.6 Hours. We recommend you buy at least E550, some of the pellet stove needs more power at the start, and E290 may not support some model. Please do not hesitate to ask us, if you have more questions. Thanks for your support. Best Regards, Jackery Support Team
