Runtime: 1,536Wh × 90% usable × 85% inverter efficiency ÷ (the average draw + about 10W the station uses itself), from Energy Star figures and makers' manuals. "Runs it?" checks its output and surge rating against the cautious running and starting figures on generator makers' and DTE Energy's charts. Plan on the low end.

Questions
Can the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra run a refrigerator?
Yes. It runs one for about 13 to 27 hours on its own, and its output and surge rating cover the cautious figures on generator makers' charts.
How long will the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra run a CPAP?
About 39 to 84 hours with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 15 to 38 hours with them on, running nothing else. Running it from the 12V outlet through the CPAP maker's own converter avoids the inverter's losses, so it lasts longer than these figures.
Can the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra run a space heater?
Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 1 to 2.5 hours. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
