No Amazon listing for the bare unit passed our name-and-spec check (checked October 3, 2026), so there is no buy link. What we rejected and why.
Planning figures: a typical fridge averages about 84 W. Yours may use less or more; the range is in the table below. How long other power stations run a refrigerator. A furnace blower is wired in: it needs an inlet or transfer switch fitted by an electrician.

- up to 400 W from the wall

Check you have the right model. Not the same as: Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 (a similar name, a different model: 2,042 Wh, 2,200 W); Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 (a similar name, a different model: 1,070 Wh, 1,500 W); Jackery Explorer 1500 v2 (a similar name, a different model: 1,536 Wh, 2,000 W); Jackery Explorer 600 v2 (a similar name, a different model: 640 Wh, 500 W). Read the model name on the unit’s label, not the box or the listing.
How long it runs each appliance
The same numbers as a table
| Appliance | Typical average draw | Hours on one charge |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge | 84 W | about 2.9 h (may not start a hard-starting one) |
| Furnace blower, older (PSC) | 182 W | cannot start it |
| Furnace blower, variable-speed (ECM) | 132 W | cannot run it |
| CPAP | 55 W | about 4.5 h |
| Sump pump | 136 W | cannot start it |
| Wi-Fi router and modem | 24 W | about 10 h |
| Laptop | 52 W | about 4.7 h |
The range behind that
This is a 288Wh battery with 300W of output, which means it stores about 245 watt-hours you can actually use and can run anything drawing up to 300 watts at once.
It runs indoors and makes no fumes. Of the 16 household loads we track, it can run 6 for at least part of a day.
Figures from the maker’s own pages and manual, with a link beside each one.
What it can run
| Load | Running / starting | Starts it? | Typical | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phone charging and small USB devices | 10–40 W | starts it | about 35h | 10–122h |
| A few LED lights | 15–80 W | starts it | about 16h | 4.1–65h |
| Laptop and monitor | 45–150 W | starts it | about 4.7h | 1.6–14h |
| CPAP | 30–100 W | starts it | about 4.5h | 2.4–8.2h |
| Television | 40–250 W | starts it | about 4.5h | 1–20h |
| 12 V compressor fridge (camping) | 25–110 W
starts at up to 320 W |
starts it | about 13h | 4.5–39h |
Hours of use on one charge. Typical is the middle of our range for that appliance; the range runs from a hard-working unit to an efficient one. Short-burst loads (microwave, coffee maker, garage door) show running time at full power instead. “Starts it” means the peak output covers even a hard-starting one.
Specifications
Recall screen
No published recall names this exact model
The captured CPSC snapshot (9,944 recalls, 1973-06-08 through 2026-08-06) contains zero recalls naming Jackery.
This check cannot clear your own unit. Most recalls cover only certain serial numbers. Read the model and serial number off the label on the unit itself, then check the maker's recall page before you use it, sell it, or buy it.
Use the CPSC recall search.
How we know the screen was not simply blind
Finding nothing only means something if the search could have found something. So we searched the same records for this brand and got 0 recalls. No recall in the snapshot names this brand at all, so finding nothing here says less than it would for a brand that does appear.
Buying the right one
No exact base-unit listing resolved

These are the maker’s own words. “Sold on the same page” is not the same claim as “works with this model”.
- Carrying Case (Small Size)
Maker’s wording: Compatible with 500/300 Plus/300/240 v2
Jackery's wording names '300' and '300 Plus' and '240 v2' but does NOT name '300 v2'. Treated as unresolved rather than compatible.
