Can Jackery Power a Toaster? Which Model & How Long Can It Run

Yes, Jackery can power different types and sizes of toasters, though the appliance's running time will depend on the power station's battery capacity. You can use the Jackery Solar Generators to charge toasters during power outages, off-grid living, or outdoor adventures such as camping, RV living, etc.

In this article, we will reveal the amount of electricity drawn by the toasters and how to calculate their working hours when charged with different Jackery Portable Power Stations. You can also find the best solar generators for toasters that are safe, portable, and ideal for charging appliances.

How Much Electricity Does a Toaster Use?

On average, toasters use between 500W and 1800W of electricity. However, the wattage consumption of the toaster might differ depending on the size, brand, and other factors. For example, the average wattage of a 2-slice toaster is around 850W, whereas it is 1300W for a 4-slice toaster.

Can Jackery Power a Toaster?

Yes, Jackery can power toasters of different wattage capacities, depending on its model. The trick to choosing the right Jackery Solar Generator for your toaster depends on the exact wattage of the appliance and how long you would like to use it. Here is a table where we have calculated the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they power a toaster of 500W:

Note: The average toaster wattage is considered 500W. The operating hours calculated in the table are just for your reference, and the actual wattage might differ.

Now that you have an idea of the appliance's running time when charged by different Jackery Portable Power Stations, here are the simple steps to choose the compatible power station for your toaster model.

Step 1: Note the Running and Starting Wattage of the Toaster

The first step is to check your toaster model's running and starting wattage. You can usually find a toaster's wattage on the device itself or in its user manual. The toaster's specification label is often located on the back or bottom of the toaster.

The toaster's starting and running wattage are usually the same because it does not include a motor that needs startup wattage. For a quick reference, you can check the appliance wattage chart that will help you know the power consumption of the toaster, thereby helping to choose the right solar generator size.

Step 2: Check the Rated and Surge Peak Output of Jackery

Just like the appliance, the Jackery Portable Power Stations have rated and surge peak output wattage, which should be checked when choosing the compatible model. One trick is to check the power station name to note its rated wattage (this is not applicable to the Plus series). The surge peak output is typically twice the rated output of the power station.

Example:

Suppose you want to charge a toaster (500W) with the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus. The simple formula to calculate the working hours is as follows:

Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Toaster = 1264Wh × 0.85 ÷ 500W = 2.1H

Note: We are multiplying the battery capacity by 0.85 to account for the power loss.

Jackery Solar Generators for Different Toasters

Depending on the toaster's average wattage consumption and where you plan to use it, here are the three recommended Jackery Solar Generators for power outages, RV living, and off-grid living.

Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus — Recommended for Outdoor Adventures

The Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus is a compact and portable solar battery charger ideal for outdoor adventures such as camping, overlanding, and tailgating. You can power small toasters to ensure your outdoor adventure remains powered up throughout the day. It also features a sturdy handle and suitcase-style design for easy movement from one place to another.

Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus — Recommended for Power Outages

If you live in an area that experiences frequent or occasional power cuts, you might be looking for a solar-powered generator that can charge small to midsize toasters. The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus is a powerful but compact charging solution that can charge essential appliances during brief power outages and blackouts. It has a foldable handle, so you can move from one room to another and power appliances.

Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus — Recommended for Off-Grid Living

It has a pull rod and double wheels to move the generator anywhere you go. It comes with an expandable capacity that can extend the battery capacity from 2kWh to 24kWh with additional battery packs.

Note: We have calculated the running time when the solar generators are fully charged.

How to Choose a Jackery?

Choosing between the Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station will depend on where you want to charge your appliances. For instance, if your lifestyle includes camping, RV living, or traveling, the Jackery Portable Power Station is suitable for charging appliances. However, you need to make sure there is a nearby electrical outlet available for quick recharging of the power station.

On the other hand, the Jackery Solar Generator is suitable for power outages, off-grid living, and extended road trips to remote locations. It combines the Jackery Portable Power Station and Jackery SolarSaga Solar Panels, which work together to absorb solar radiation and charge appliances. You can place the solar panels in sunlight to trap sunlight and generate electricity, which is stored in the portable power station.

Conclusion

The Jackery Solar Generators can charge different toasters, depending on their size and wattage consumption. Choosing the right size and capacity of a solar-powered generator is essential to avoid power disruptions and safely charge appliances. For example, the compact Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus is suitable for small toasters, whereas the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus is ideal for large toasters.
