Common questions

How long will the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 run a home oxygen concentrator?
About 2.5 hours from a full charge. A home oxygen concentrator averages about 350 W, and the 1,070 Wh battery gives about 910 Wh after inverter losses. That is 38% of the battery an hour.
Will the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 start a home oxygen concentrator?
Yes. It needs about 1,050 W for a moment when the compressor starts, and the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is rated for 3,000 W surge, 2.9 times that. Avoid starting other motors at the same moment.
Is the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 enough backup for a home oxygen concentrator?
Only as a short bridge. It covers about 2.5 hours from a full charge. A power station should never be your only backup for medical equipment: ask your equipment supplier what they provide in an outage, register with your utility’s medical-needs program, and keep the settings your prescriber gave you.
