Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage Of PS4
Every electrical device has a started and rated wattage. A started wattage is the extra wattage required to start the device, and rated or running wattage is needed to keep the device operational. These wattages are mentioned on the device or in its user manual. If, in either case, the started and rated wattage is not mentioned, you can multiply the device's ampere and volts to get the wattage.
Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of Jackery
Checking the started and rated output wattage of the power station is essential to ensure that the capacity of the PS4 is less than that of the power station. This will allow the power station to provide enough power and long working hours for the device. You can also know the output wattage of the power station by looking at the model number. For example, the rated output wattage of the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 would be 1000 watts. However, this does not apply to the Plus series.
Let’s say you want to run a PS4 (250W) with Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station; then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:
Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of PS4
Working Hours = 1264Wh × 0.85 / 250W = 0.97 hours.
Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.
