Can Jackery Power A Fan/Ceiling Fan?

The Jackery Portable Power Station and Jackery Solar Generators can power fans of various capacities. Every type of fan might have a different wattage, depending on its size, functionality, and brand. Therefore, appliance wattage consumption depends on these factors.

Choosing the right size for the Jackery Portable Power Station is essential to getting an ample power supply anytime you need it. Here's a table showing the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge a fan or ceiling fan (60W).

Note: The operating wattage is considered 60W. The running time indicated in the table is just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.  

Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage Of The Fan/Ceiling Fan

Rated and surge wattage are the electricity required to function and start your appliances. Generally, these wattages are mentioned on the device or the user manual guide provided by the manufacturer. If the rated and surge wattage are not mentioned on the device or user manual, simply look for the voltage and ampere used by the device. Next, you can multiply by voltage and ampere to get the wattage.

Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of Jackery

The Jackery Portable Power Stations have their own rated and surge output, and it is important to check these wattages before selecting the right size. You can also find out the output wattage of the power station by looking at its model number. However, this doesn’t apply to the Plus series. For example, the rated output wattage of the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 would be 1000 watts.

Let’s say you want to run a fan (70W) with Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station, then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:

Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of Fan.

Working Hours =  288Wh × 0.85 / 70W = 3.5 hours.

Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.
