This article reveals what appliances can be recharged by Jackery 600 Plus during different scenarios, such as multi-day off-grid adventures, camping, and short RV trips.
What Can Jackery 600 Plus Run?
The Jackery 600 Plus has a 632.3Wh capacity and 800W output to support a wide range of indoor and outdoor devices for hours. It can supply stable electricity to camping lights, projectors, coffee makers, rice cookers, cameras, laptops, and more.
Here's a formula that will help you calculate the working hours of Jackery 600 Plus while charging any appliance:
Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 600 Plus Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Appliance
Example:
Imagine you are planning a camping trip and want to keep camping lights (10W) and a portable refrigerator (60W) charged. When the Jackery 600 Plus is fully charged, its running time will be 632.3Wh × 0.85 ÷ 70W = 7.5H.
Note: Multiplying the battery capacity by 0.85 to account for power loss that happens during appliance charging. The actual running time may differ from the obtained value.
There are three ways to recharge the portable power station: solar panels, car chargers, and wall outlets. This means you can recharge the power station indoors or outdoors. The Jackery 600 Plus has a pass-through charging feature to charge the appliances when the power station is being recharged. However, it is not recommended for prolonged use, as it can harm the battery's lifespan and health.

You can cook meals on an electric stove, keep foods and medicines fresh in a cooler, and watch a movie under the stars with a portable projector.
