Estaciones de energía portátiles

Start with the devices you want to use together. Their combined watts tell you the output you need; a fridge or pump also needs extra power to start. Then think about how long you’ll use them. A 60W laptop used for three hours needs 180Wh of energy. Add the other devices in the same way, with extra battery capacity for the energy the power station uses itself. A plug-in energy meter is useful for appliances that switch on and off.

A larger battery gives you more time with the same devices. For a rough estimate, divide the energy available to your devices, in Wh, by their average power use, in W. Allow for the energy the power station uses itself and when supplying AC power. A fridge also switches on and off throughout the day, so its average use is more helpful than its running watts alone. Our model-specific runtime examples are a useful starting point.

Yes, with a power station that has the right outlet and enough power to start and run your fridge. The brief surge when the compressor starts can be higher than its normal running power. For how long it will last, use the fridge’s daily energy use from its label or a plug-in energy meter. Temperature settings and how often you open the door affect that figure. More battery capacity gives the same fridge more time between recharges.

A solar generator is a power station paired with compatible solar panels. The power station stores the energy and powers your devices; the panels give you a way to recharge it in daylight. The power station alone suits regular access to a wall outlet. A solar kit adds an outdoor charging option for stops with sunshine and room to set up the panels. The selected kit lists the panels, batteries and cables included.

You can use a charged power station at night, and solar panels are optional. Explorer 2000 v2 also charges from a wall outlet or a compatible 12V vehicle connection with the appropriate cable. Solar panels recharge the battery during daylight; shade, weather and placement affect how much power they provide. Choose panels listed as compatible with your model so the connectors and charging limits match.

Yes. HomePower 1000 Plus v2 and HomePower 2000 Plus v2 both work with Battery Pack 2000 Plus v2, so you can start with the power station and add more storage later. Explorer 2000 v2 offers 2042Wh of built-in storage in one unit.

An extra battery gives you more time between charges. The power station’s output rating still determines which appliances you can run together. When shopping for a pack, use the full model name, including “v2,” and check the supported number of packs and connecting cable.

For Explorer 2000 v2, a full wall charge takes about 1.7 hours in Emergency Super Charge mode, enabled in the Jackery app. Normal charging uses a different setting. When comparing models, look for the same charging method and a full 0–100% charge, since a partial-charge figure describes a shorter top-up. Solar times also depend on the panels, available sunlight and temperature.

HomePower 3600 Pro Max and Explorer 5000 Plus both provide 240V from one unit. HomePower 3600 Pro Max delivers up to 4000W at 240V, with a separate limit of up to 2000W per 120V outlet. Use the rating for the outlet your appliance plugs into; several 120V devices also need to fit the model’s combined-output limits.

HomePower 3600 Plus provides 120V on its own. For 240V, the Double Kit pairs two units with a Jackery Connector and delivers up to 7200W. Solar panels are the charging source for this paired 240V setup.

For backup through your home’s wiring, you’ll also need compatible transfer equipment installed by an electrician. The home connection guide explains the manual and Smart Transfer Switch options.
