How long will a Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 run a refrigerator?
Estimated runtime: 22.3 h – 23.8 h
This estimate uses the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2's published 2,042 Wh capacity, an assumed 85% inverter/conversion efficiency, and a typical refrigerator draw of 73–78 W.
⚠️ Compressor startup surge is not published in our sources. The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 lists 4,400 W surge; most fridges start well within that, but check your model.
The math
2,042 Wh × 0.85 = ~1,736 usable Wh. ÷ 78 W = 22.3 h; ÷ 73 W = 23.8 h.
Where the appliance wattage comes from
Average draw derived from DOE/EREC annual use of a frost-free 16–18 cu ft refrigerator (642–683 kWh/yr ÷ 8,760 h). Running/defrost nameplate wattage listed as 725 W; compressor startup surge can be higher and is not published.

For the most accurate number, check the watts on your appliance's label or measure it with a plug-in meter, then use the calculator.
