Official product questions & technical answers

Is it safe to use in rain?

IP65-rated protection is achieved when all port covers are properly secured, allowing reliable operation in wet and dusty environments. For optimal performance, keep the unit sheltered from direct rain when ports are in use to help prevent moisture ingress.

Does the Explorer 1500 Ultra support pass-through charging (charging and powering devices at the same time)?

Yes. The Explorer 1500 Ultra supports pass-through charging. You can charge the power station via AC or solar while simultaneously powering your devices. This is especially useful for home backup, job-site use, or continuous operation scenarios. In UPS (bypass) mode, the system automatically swit.

Does dust or sand affect long-term performance?

No, not under normal use. The sealed IP65 structure prevents dust ingress, and the bottom-mounted, detachable metal base allows the cooling system to be cleaned if needed. This design avoids the dust buildup problems common in traditional side-vented power stations.

Can it handle devices with high startup power, like power tools or compressors?

Yes. This is one of its key advantages. The Explorer 1500 Ultra delivers up to 3600W surge power, with peak output lasting significantly longer than typical portable power stations. This allows it to reliably start devices with high inrush current—such as saws, grinders, pumps, and refrigerators—.

Can I leave the Explorer 1500 Ultra plugged in all the time for home backup?

Yes. The Explorer 1500 Ultra supports long-term plug-in use and pass-through charging. When connected to wall power, it can supply power to your devices while keeping the battery maintained. In the event of a power outage, it automatically switches to battery power within 20 ms. For battery healt.

Can I use this power station with medical devices, life-support equipment, business-critical systems, or other essential equipment?

For safety reasons, Jackery portable power stations are not recommended for use with medical devices, life-support equipment, data servers, or other applications where a power interruption could result in personal injury, loss of life, or significant property damage. We do not recommend using thi.
