1. What is the Jackery Battery Life Calculator?

The Jackery Battery Life Calculator estimates how long a Jackery power station can power your laptop based on the battery's capacity and your laptop's power consumption.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the battery life equation:

Where:

• \( Capacity \) — Battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh)
• \( Power \) — Laptop power consumption in watts (W)

Explanation: The equation divides the total energy capacity of the battery by the power draw of the laptop to determine runtime in hours.

3. Importance of Battery Life Calculation

Details: Knowing your expected battery life helps in planning outdoor activities, remote work sessions, or emergency power needs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the capacity of your Jackery power station in watt-hours (found in specifications) and your laptop's power consumption in watts (usually found on the power adapter). Both values must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where do I find my Jackery's capacity?
A: Check the product specifications or label on your Jackery power station - it's typically listed in watt-hours (Wh).

Q2: How do I know my laptop's power consumption?
A: Check your laptop's power adapter - it will show the output in watts (W). This is typically between 30W-100W for most laptops.

Q3: Is this calculation exact?
A: This provides an estimate. Actual runtime may vary based on battery age, temperature, and laptop usage patterns.

Q4: Can I use this for other devices?
A: Yes, the same calculation works for any DC device if you know its power consumption in watts.

Q5: Should I consider efficiency losses?
A: For more accurate results, you might multiply the result by 0.85 to account for typical inverter efficiency losses.
