Génératrice électrique portative Jackery Solar Generator Explorer 290

This Jackery 290, will NOT run a small fridge for 19 hours. must portable fridges need 45 to 50 watts to operate. 19hrs x 45 watts = 855 watts. The 290 is only as it states 290 watts. Fully charged it would only keep a small fridge running for 6 hours if you are lucky.

I’ve been pleased with my Jackery 290. After a year or so, the indicator light wasn’t working. Customer support was very responsive and I was surprised they replaced it with a brand new unit. Excellent product excellent customer service!

I bought the explorer 290 so I could bring a little portable power to my farm. Charging up tools and running small air pumps. Last night it ran my cpap for 8.5 hours from about a 94% charge with 15% power left when I woke up. Couldn't be happier. I'm ordering the 60w solar panel. If it keeps performing like it has I plan on getting the explorer 1500.

Two years ago, Texas lost electric power statewide during a winter storm. I was lucky to have two small power banks that kept my phone charged during those 4 cold, dark days. I limited my phone use to texting family that I was okay, and checking a local news site 2x daily, just so I could preserve what little battery power was at my disposal. As soon as life was back to normal, I saved up and bought this Jackery Explorer 290. I’ve fully discharged and recharged it every several months since then, just in case. Two weeks ago, an ice storm hit and knocked out electricity to half the city. For the couple of days the roads were too icy to drive, my little Jackery recharged my phone, Kindle, and radio, so I didn’t have to limit my usage at all. In fact, when the roads were passable again, and family/friends offered to let me stay with them, I turned them down�?I had plenty of power in my Jackery to get me through another several days. I still didn’t have electricity on Monday when I returned to work, so I took my Jackery with me to charge at the office, and it still had 40% left! This little power station got me through 6 days of no electricity, allowing me to talk and text and websurf on my phone, read on my kindle, and listen to my favorite radio station through it all. It wasn’t fun having no heat, throwing out all the spoiled food in my fridge, and using flashlights and lanterns for so long, but this Jackery Explorer 290 made it bearable while keeping me in contact with the rest of the world.

Powerful battery in a tiny light package. I use this battery to power my astrophotography rig outside. It powered my mount, camera and tiny computer for many hours. I calculated it could have powered my setup all night.
