Battery Life Equation:
From: | To: |
The Jackery Power Station Battery Life calculator estimates how long a Jackery power station can power your devices based on its capacity and your total power load.
The calculator uses the simple equation:
Where:
Explanation: This equation divides the total available energy by the rate at which energy is being consumed to determine runtime.
Details: Knowing your expected battery life helps in planning outdoor activities, emergency preparedness, and ensuring you have enough power for your needs.
Tips: Enter the capacity of your Jackery power station (found in its specifications) and the total wattage of all devices you'll be powering simultaneously. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Where can I find my Jackery's capacity?
A: The capacity in watt-hours is listed in your power station's specifications. For example, Jackery Explorer 1000 has a 1002Wh capacity.
Q2: How do I calculate total load?
A: Add up the wattage of all devices you'll be running simultaneously. Check device labels or specifications for their power consumption.
Q3: Is this calculation accurate for real-world use?
A: This provides an estimate. Actual runtime may vary due to factors like temperature, battery age, and power conversion efficiency.
Q4: What if my devices list amps instead of watts?
A: For DC devices: Watts = Volts × Amps. Most Jackery ports are 12V or 24V (check your model).
Q5: Does this account for battery depletion?
A: No, most power stations stop providing power before 100% depletion to protect the battery.
