Runtime uses each load's duty-weighted average draw against 90% of the rated capacity — conservative on purpose. Cyclic loads (fridges, pumps) run far longer than running-watts × capacity would suggest.

Common questions

What can the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus run?

With 2,000 W of continuous output and a 4,000 W surge rating, the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus runs refrigerator (modern), chest freezer, cpap machine (no humidifier), cpap with heated humidifier, oxygen concentrator, space heater (1500 w), and more. Its 1,264 Wh battery sets how long: a fridge for roughly a day, a CPAP for several nights.

How long will the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus run a refrigerator?

A modern refrigerator averages about 53 W (it cycles ~35% of the time), so the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus's 1,264 Wh runs one for roughly 22 h before recharging.
