How Long Do Jackery Power Stations Run Medical Devices?

Jackery portable power stations are one way to deliver continuous energy for critical medical devices during power outages or travel. In this article, we analyze how four of Jackery’s popular models—Explorer 300 Plus, 1000 Plus, 2000 Plus, and 5000 Plus—handle specialized medical equipment.

Note: Wheelchair charger times reflect partial battery top-ups, not full 0–100% cycles.

What’s Important to Know about Jackery and Medical Devices?

• All Jackery models use LiFePO4 batteries, which are non-flammable – even if exposed to fire – safer for oxygen-dependent devices and long-lasting (4,000+ charge cycles).
• Low-Power Devices: Blood pressure and glucose meters can run for days to weeks on all models.
• CPAP Machines: Runtime ranges from 8.1 hours (Explorer 300 Plus) to 84 hours (Explorer 5000 Plus).
• Ventilators: Runtime ranges from 5.7 hours (Explorer 300 Plus) up to a 100+ hours (Explorer 5000 Plus).
• Electric Wheelchair Chargers: Runtime ranges from 5.7 hours (Explorer 300 Plus) up to a 100+ hours (Explorer 5000 Plus).
