on a single full charge

Est. usable (AC): 76 Wh

Appliance draw: 45 W

Continuous output: 128 W

How we calculated this

We start from the Jackery Explorer 100 Plus's 76 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 99 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the 12v cooler / fridge's 45W draw:

76 Wh ÷ 45 W ≈ 1.7 hours

Heads up: a 12v cooler / fridge is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Jackery Explorer 100 Plus's 128W continuous / 256W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.

Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
