What will the Jackery Explorer 600 v2 run?
The Jackery Explorer 600 v2 stores 640Wh with 500W of output (1,000W surge). Running one thing at a time, that's about 5 to 11 hours of a refrigerator if it can start one (see below), about 16 to 35 hours of a CPAP with the humidifier off and about 17 to 24 hours of Wi-Fi.
640Wh and 500W: enough for low-power essentials overnight, but not for a fridge's start-up or a coffee maker.

A few things together
| Running together | Runs them for | Runs it? |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator, Wi-Fi and four LED bulbs | 3 to 6 hours | Nomay not start it (surge 1,000W) |
| Refrigerator, freezer and Wi-Fi | – | Noneeds 810W+ |
| CPAP (humidifier off) and one LED bulb | 12 to 23 hours | Yes |
| Wi-Fi, a laptop and two LED bulbs | 4 to 7.5 hours | Yes |
Runtime: 640Wh × 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 600 v2 run a refrigerator?
Not reliably: may not start it (surge 1,000W). If it does run one, it lasts about 5 to 11 hours.
How long will the Jackery Explorer 600 v2 run a CPAP?
About 16 to 35 hours with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 6.5 to 16 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 600 v2 run a space heater?
Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 0.5 to 1 hour. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
