The Jackery 500, with a battery capacity of 518 watt hours (Wh) and a 500 watt inverter, can power a refrigerator based on the refrigerator’s power consumption. If the refrigerator draws around 100 watts and runs around 8 hours per day, the Jackery 500 could potentially power it for around 2-3 days. This is an estimate and actual run time may vary depending on specific refrigerator power consumption and usage patterns.
How long a Jackery 500 can power a refrigerator depends on the refrigerator’s power consumption.
For example, if a refrigerator consumes 200 watts and runs 24 hours a day, the Jackery 500 could last about 2-3 days (518 Wh / 200 watts ≈ 2.6 hours of operation per day). However, this will vary depending on the efficiency and power consumption of the refrigerator.
The autonomy of a 12 V refrigerator on a Jackery 500 depends on the electricity consumption of the refrigerator. For example, if the 12V refrigerator consumes 60 watts and runs continuously, the Jackery 500 could provide electricity for about 8-10 hours (518 Wh / 60 watts ≈ 8.6 hours).
Actual time may differ depending on factors such as refrigerator compressor cycle and usage.
The Jackery 500 can last different lengths of time depending on what it powers. With a capacity of 518 watt hours, it is suitable for powering small household appliances and electronics.
For example, it can run a 100 watt appliance for approximately 5 hours (518 Wh / 100 watts = 5.18 hours), although actual usage may be shorter due to efficiency losses and variations in load requirements.
A 500-watt power supply can run a refrigerator, provided the refrigerator’s power consumption is within the 500-watt capacity of the inverter. Many refrigerators have a power consumption well below 500 watts for continuous operation, but their startup surge can exceed this value.
Therefore, although a 500-watt generator can typically run many refrigerators, it is important to check the specific requirements of the refrigerator, including its starting surge, to ensure compatibility.
