Please note that the recharging speed of solar panels may vary under different operating and
environmental conditions. Recharge your power station in stable weather conditions. The optimum
temperature for normal use and storage of solar panel ranges from -4°F to 185°F (-20°C to 85°C).
Weather
The output of solar panels may be reduced under cold, cloudy and rainy conditions.
Positioning
Solar panels may have lower output when they are not directly facing the sun.
Obstacles
When solar panels are placed in a cool place, behind other objects or behind windows,
the output may decrease.
Warning
Do not use solar panels under severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, strong
winds, and hail. Avoid applying external pressure to the solar panels; doing so will damage the solar
panels and cause the output to decrease.

Charging in the Car
Vehicle

Cold temperatures (below freezing) can impact the Jackery Explorer’s battery capacity. When off-grid
in sub-zero conditions, we recommend you keep your Jackery Explorer 1500 in an insulated cooler
while connected to a power source (solar panels) and charging your gear. The natural heat generated
by the Jackery Explorer 1500 contained in an insulated cooler will keep battery capacity at its highest.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 will not allow charging below freezing for safety reasons. The unit will
show a warning on the LCD as you approach this temperature.

1Press the power button located next to each group of ports. The port is turned on when the green
LED on the power button illuminates. Make sure to turn it off after use to save power.
When using Jackery Explorer 1500 to power/charge equipment, please pay attention to the battery
display. When you plug in a high-power device (e.g., a large refrigerator), you may not be able to get
the full 1500Wh capacity due to many factors. Also consider, when using the AC power output, the
Explorer 1500 will convert DC power from the battery into AC power using the built-in inverter.
Although your Explorer 1500 has a high-efficiency inverter, some energy is always lost as heat during
the conversion process. For this reason, you will not get the battery's rated capacity when running AC
devices. If you experience a short run time, you may need to check the device's power requirements.
See Troubleshooting and Questions for help.

Having your Jackery Explorer connected to a power source, like a solar panel or wall plug, between
uses or while in storage keeps its battery healthy and topped up. This prolongs battery life and will
ensure your Jackery Explorer is charged and ready to go at any time.
NOTE: Fully charge your Jackery Explorer every 3 months and store it in a cool, dry place if you
can’t keep your Jackery Explorer plugged into a power source during storage. If the Jackery
Explorer has not been used for several months, it may require several charge cycles to restore
accurate display of the battery percentage and time remaining values on-screen. Failure to
maintain your Jackery Explorer by following these steps can result in battery damage which will
void the products warranty.

the battery.
Q8: Can I use it indoors?
A: Yes, the Explorer1500 is safe to use indoors.
Q9: Why does it take so long to charge the power station from 99% to 100%?
A: When the battery is low, the charging power is greater, so the battery charges faster. As the battery
reaches a higher and higher charge, the difference between the charging voltage and the battery
voltage becomes smaller. This means the battery will charge at a slower and slower rate as it
approaches 100%.
