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 v2 run?
With 1,500 W of continuous output and a 3,000 W surge rating, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 runs refrigerator (modern), chest freezer, cpap machine (no humidifier), cpap with heated humidifier, oxygen concentrator, space heater (1500 w), and more. Its 1,070 Wh battery sets how long: a fridge for roughly a day, a CPAP for several nights.
How long will the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 run a refrigerator?
A modern refrigerator averages about 53 W (it cycles ~35% of the time), so the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2's 1,070 Wh runs one for roughly 18 h before recharging.
