  • QuestionCan this power a standard home refrigerator? If so, approximately how long?

    Asked by Refrigerator.

    • Answer Dear Customer, The Explorer 300 Plus (288 Wh capacity) can technically power a standard home refrigerator, but only for a short period. Most full-size refrigerators consume 150–300 W when running (and more during compressor startup), meaning the Explorer 300 Plus could run it for about 1–2 hours under typical conditions. For longer backup use, we recommend a higher-capacity model such as the Explorer 2000 Plus or 3000 Pro, which are designed for large appliances.

  • QuestionCan the jackery explorer 300 plus solar generator be charged with the car outlet via v12 battery

    Asked by Grace.

    • Answer Dear Customer, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus can be charged via a car’s 12V outlet using the included car charging cable. This allows you to conveniently recharge the unit on the go, such as during road trips or when solar charging isn't available. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Charging via a 12V car outlet typically takes 5–6 hours to fully recharge the 288Wh battery. Make sure the vehicle is running while charging to avoid draining the car battery. The car charger is usually included with your Explorer 300 Plus, but if not, compatible accessories are available through Jackery. If you need further help with setup or accessories, feel free to contact us directly: 📧 [email protected] 📞 +1‑888‑502‑2236 (Weekdays 9 AM – 5 PM PST) Best regards, Jackery Customer Service Team

  • QuestionWith a full charge, how long could the generator power a portable heater, like a Dyson heater?

    Asked by Robbie.

    • Answer Dear customer, Thank you for your question! The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus, included in the SG300 Plus + 40W Mini kit, has a battery capacity of 288Wh. Portable heaters — such as Dyson heaters — typically consume high power, often ranging from 1000W to 1500W. Unfortunately, this exceeds the power output capacity of the Explorer 300 Plus, which supports: 300W continuous output 600W surge peak So, a Dyson heater cannot be powered by this model, as it would overload the inverter and automatically shut off to protect the unit. For powering space heaters or high-wattage appliances, we recommend a higher-capacity Jackery model such as the Explorer 2000 Plus or Explorer 3000 Pro. If you're looking for recommendations based on your heating needs, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help!

  • QuestionWill this solar panel work on any other portable generator???

    Asked by Sidily.

    • Answer Thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The SolarSaga 40W mini solar panel is a compact and portable power solution, ideal for outdoor activities. It is well-suited for charging smaller capacity power stations such as the Explorer 100 Plus, Explorer 290, and Explorer 300 Plus. However, please note that while the SolarSaga 40W is versatile, it may not be the best choice for power stations that require higher wattage for charging. In those cases, a higher wattage solar panel, such as the SolarSaga 100W or 200W, would be more appropriate.

  • QuestionCan the solar panel be placed permanently on a shed? Does it have enough protection to withhold year round, or is this product only for brief exposure times?

    Asked by Lori.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. While our portable solar panels are designed for outdoor use, we do not recommend permanently mounting them on a shed or roof due to their portability nature and to avoid potential impacts on their lifespan. However, if you are looking for a more permanent solution, you might consider the Jackery SolarSaga 100 Prime solar panel, which is built for long-term, permanent installation on rooftops or other structures. It comes with a robust design and necessary hardware for secure attachment, ensuring year-round reliability. Please note that the SolarSaga 100 Prime is not currently available on Best Buy, but you can find it on Jackery official website and other e-commerce platforms.

  • QuestionCan plug christmas lights? Or lantern lights outside?

    Asked by Lights.

    • Answer Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus, featuring a robust 288Wh battery capacity and a 300W output power, is indeed fully capable of powering Christmas lights. To offer a runtime estimate, we use a straightforward calculation: Multiply the battery capacity by 0.85 and then divide by the device's power consumption. Christmas and lantern lights generally consume much less than 50 watts, with usage varying based on bulb size and type. Assuming your lights have a combined power draw of 50 watts, the Explorer 300 Plus is estimated to provide approximately 4.8 hours of continuous power (calculated as 288×0.85÷50). Please note that this estimate is based on theoretical calculations. The actual runtime may vary depending on the precise power consumption of your specific bulbs and the number of devices connected simultaneously. For tailored advice or if you have specific power consumption details for your lights, our customer service team is here to assist you.

  • QuestionCan the generator fully charge a marina deep cycle battery at night?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry about the Jackery products. The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus has a capacity of 288Wh and a power output of 300W. Typically, a marine deep cycle battery requires a significant amount of energy to fully charge, and based on the specifications of the Explorer 300 Plus, 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, such as the Explorer 2000 Plus series 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 its voltage, power consumption and amp-hour (Ah) rating, we can offer more precise guidance and recommendations.

    Asked by Awesome.

    • Answer Dear Customer, the Explorer 300 Plus has a battery capacity of 288Wh and an output power of 300W. Given that the built-in air mattress pump typically uses between 100-120 watts, the Explorer 300 Plus should be able to power the air mattress compressor without any issues. However, it's important to note that the actual performance can vary depending on specific factors such as the compressor's efficiency, the size of the air mattress, and the number of devices you intend to use simultaneously. If you could provide more detailed specifications of the air mattress built-in compressor, we can offer a more precise estimate of how long the Explorer 300 Plus will be able to power it.
