        Q:Will this 500 w run 2 separate window ac - a door camera and other items
        by|Sep 4, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Dear Customer, Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this question. First of all, all of Jackery's Portable Power Stations can be used indoors safely and quietly. But this Explorer 550 can not be used to run 2 window ac & front door camera & other items, because the total rated watts of these devices is much higher than the output running wattage of the Explorer 550(500W). The Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro will be better for you. It can run a 1000W window ac about 3.5 hours and 2 1000W window ac about 1.5 hours. You can buy it on homedepot.com. What you need to know is that the air conditioner is a very power-hungry appliance, therefore, portable power stations are not suitable for powering it. Please do not hesitate to ask us, if you have more questions. Thanks for your support. Best Regards, Jackery Support Team

          10/10 would recommend the Jackery, in fact I have. I’m able to get 35-40 hours powering my 12v fridge/ freezer. If they offered a 2000w unit I’d but that too. Great quality and simple to use for many needs.

          Great product for my needs.
          I ordered this after previously buying a different power bank, the kind with jumper cables, an air compressor for tires and other inflatables. That only worked temporarily before I realized I needed something different. I do Astro photography and I needed something that could power my GoTo Equatorial Mount, my two dedicated astro cameras and ASIAIR Pro that controls all of them. The other power bank only lasted two hours, but I needed something that could last all night if I needed it, at least four hours because this type of photography requires very long exposure times so you need to be able to take advantage of every clear night when you are maybe at a remote site.This Jackery 550 does that easily. I have had it just the other night go for six hours and still had about 68% life left. I like that the bottom usb port is one that will charge my iPad and the other two are better suited to phones that way I can watch Netflix while my rig is shooting away. I've only had it just over a month and very pleased with it.
