In this guide, we will walk you through the Jackery 240 and what appliances it can run during outdoor trips, hiking, or off-road travels.
What Can Jackery 240 Run?
The Jackery 240 can run small electronic gadgets and appliances during outdoor trips and hiking. It features AC outlets, DC carports, and USB-A ports to charge multiple appliances simultaneously. The robust battery capacity ensures that your small essential appliances remain powered no matter where you are. Whether you're camping, hiking, or enjoying other outdoor trips, the Jackery 240 can be a great companion.
Here's a formula to calculate the running time for different appliances when charged with Jackery 240:
Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Appliance
Let's take an example to understand better:
Suppose you are hiking and want to charge smartphones (10W) and a portable fan (50W) with the Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station. The working hours will be 240Wh × 0.85 ÷ 60W = 3.4H.
Note: The power conversion efficiency factor (0.85) indicates there will be some power loss when charging the appliances. The data provided by the formula is just for reference and is calculated when the portable power station is fully charged.
The Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station can be recharged with a car charger, wall outlet, and Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panels. This ensures a consistent power supply, whether charged indoors or outdoors.
