Quick Answer
To determine when your Jackery needs charging, check the device's battery level on the LCD screen. You can also consult the Jackery Explorer series manual or mobile app. Keep in mind that the battery level drops when the device is in use.
Checking Battery Levels
To keep track of your Jackery’s battery level, navigate to the LCD screen on the device. The level is usually displayed as a percentage or a series of bars indicating the charge state. For the Jackery Explorer series, you can also download the Jackery Explorer app on your mobile device to monitor the battery level remotely.
Understanding Charge Cycles
Charge cycles refer to the number of times you can recharge your Jackery’s battery before it reaches its maximum capacity. The Jackery Explorer series typically guarantees 500-800 cycles, depending on the model. To maximize the battery’s lifespan, aim to keep the charge level between 20% and 80% whenever possible. Avoid letting the battery drop to 0% charge too frequently.
Using the Jackery’s Solar Charging Capability
To charge your Jackery using solar power, you’ll need to connect a compatible portable solar panel to the device. The Jackery Explorer series usually comes with a compatible solar panel, or you can purchase one separately. To estimate the charging time, consider the solar panel’s wattage and the Jackery’s battery capacity. For example, a 200W solar panel can fully charge a 240Wh Jackery Explorer 240 in 4-5 hours under ideal conditions.
