1. What is Battery Cycle Life?

The cycle life of a battery refers to the number of complete charge-discharge cycles the battery can undergo before its capacity falls below 80% of its original capacity. For Jackery Explorer series, this is rated at 500 cycles.

2. How the Calculator Works

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• 500 — Total rated cycles for Jackery Explorer batteries
• Used Cycles — Number of complete charge-discharge cycles already used

3. Importance of Cycle Life

Details: Understanding your battery's remaining cycle life helps predict when you might need to replace it and allows for better maintenance planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of charge cycles you've already used (check your Jackery app or device logs). The calculator will show remaining cycles and percentage of total life remaining.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What counts as a full cycle?
A: One full cycle equals using 100% of the battery's capacity, whether all at once or cumulatively (e.g., two 50% discharges equal one full cycle).

Q2: Can I extend my battery's life?
A: Yes, by avoiding extreme temperatures, not discharging completely, and storing at 50-60% charge when not in use for long periods.

Q3: What happens after 500 cycles?
A: The battery will still work but with reduced capacity (typically 80% of original capacity at 500 cycles).

Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides theoretical estimates based on ideal conditions. Actual life may vary based on usage patterns and environmental factors.

Q5: Where can I find my cycle count?
A: Check your Jackery mobile app or device settings for battery health information.
