Runtime: 5,040Wh × 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 5000 Plus run a refrigerator?
Yes. It runs one for about 41 to 88 hours on its own, and its output and surge rating cover the cautious figures on generator makers' charts.
How long will the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus run a CPAP?
About 5 to 11 days with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 2 to 5 days 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 5000 Plus run a space heater?
Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 2.5 to 7.5 hours. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
