What Can Jackery 880 Run?

The Jackery 880 can run most small to midsize appliances, including mini-fridges, portable space heaters, air coolers, ice shavers, coffee makers, toasters, blenders, portable fans, lights, etc. In short, the Jackery 880 can offer immense power for camping trips or home emergency backup. Here's a formula to calculate the running hours of Jackery 880 when it charges a specific appliance:

Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 880 Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Appliance

Let's take an example:

Suppose you are on a family camping trip with a mini fridge (100W), smartphone (10W), and air cooler (150W). The running time of Jackery 880 when charging these appliances simultaneously will be 880Wh × 0.85 ÷ 260W = 2.8H.

Note: We have multiplied by 0.85 because there will be some kind of power loss when appliances are charged. Remember, the data is just for your reference and is calculated when the portable power station is fully charged.

The Jackery Explorer 880 Portable Power Station can be recharged in three ways: AC or wall outlet, car charger, and Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panels. This means you can recharge the portable power station with an AC outlet where power is available. If you're outdoors, you can consider charging with a car charger or solar panels. It also features a pass-through charging mechanism that allows you to recharge the power station when appliances are plugged in. However, it's best to use it occasionally to maintain optimum battery health.

Whether you want to keep food fresh, grill dinner, or enjoy some good music around the campfire, the Jackery 880 ensures you can enjoy the camping trip without worrying about power. It can also keep a portable mini fridge powered or light up the campsite with lanterns.

Note: The working hours of the Jackery 880 in the table are calculated after fully recharging it.
