Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240

Q. How long can I use my Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station to power my devices?

A. 1. First, you need to check out your device’s operating power (measured by watts). If it is less than the output power of your Explorer’s AC port, it can be supported by the Explorer.

For example, the Jackery power station Explorer 500 can run AC devices at 230V that require less than 500W.

2. Then, you can calculate the charging time with the following formula:
Working time = Explorer’s Watt-Hours * 0.85 / operating power of your device.

Example:
Let’s assume your device’s power consumption is 60W (might be a box fan), and you want to use the Explorer 500 to run your device.

500Wh*0.85/60w = Roughly 7 hours of working time

Please note the actual power consumption varies based on many factors.

Q. Can I use a third party Solar panel to charge my Jackery Explorer 240 Portable Power Station?

A. Jackery power stations can be charged with a third-party brand solar panel. You must match the plug size and input voltage of the Jackery Power Station you are trying to charge.

For example, third party solar panels for the Explorer 1000 should have the following specs:

1. The voltage must be between 12-30V

2. The plug connection size: Outer diameter 7.9mm, inner diameter 5.5mm, inner needle diameter 0.9mm (empty)

3. Note: We can’t, however, recommend other brand products to recharge your Jackery power station. As we can’t guarantee the safety and quality of those products or provide after-sale service for them. It is highly recommended that you purchase the matching Jackery SolarSaga solar panel(s) for your Jackery Explorer.

2. The power station must be able to accept the amount of power from the panel. The output power of the SolarSaga 100W is 18V
