Can I use the Jackery portable power station to charge my devices?

The Jackery power stations can run devices at 110V AC (120V for the Explorer Pro E1000/2000 series) or 12V DC and up to the power capacity of the generator. (For example, an Explorer 240, with 240W power capacity will not run a 1000W appliance). 

First, you need to make sure your device's power consumption (check the label of your device for the volts and amps, multiply the two numbers together to obtain the wattage) is less than the power capacity of the Explorer model you have or you’re looking at. 

Second, to determine the estimated runtime for your device, please apply the following formula:

Working time = Explorer's Watt-Hours x 0.85 / Power Consumption of your device. 

For example, assuming the power consumption of your device is 60W (such as a box fan), and you want to use the Explorer 500 with 500W of power capacity to run your device. The estimated working time is about 7 hours (500Wh x 0.85 / 60W = 7 hrs). Please note that the 15% conversion loss (x0.85) is an average assumption which varies with Explorer models and other variables. The actual power consumption varies for different usages as well.
