Open the manual

288 WhFrom the manual

Enough for a 60 W fridge for about 4 hours, or a CPAP for about 6 hours.

300 WFrom the manual

CPAP, laptops, lights, phones.

Surge

600 WFrom the manual

Short bursts for motors starting, like a fridge compressor or a pump.

Voc

12 to 27 VFrom the manual

The manual does not say whether this is open-circuit or working voltage, so the checker uses the stricter reading. Your panels, wired up, must stay inside it even on a cold morning.

Imp

5 AFrom the manual

Over this, the station simply caps what it takes. You lose watts, nothing breaks.

MPPT

100 WFrom the manual

From empty to full in about 4 hours of good sun at 70% of rating.

Solar portplug

USB-CFrom the manual

The plug on the station. Panels with a different plug need an adapter cable; we list it in the checker.

2 panels, in parallelWorks, with a catch

Fine in mild weather (25.9V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 28.4V, above the 27V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage.

2 panels, in parallelDon't connect

Open-circuit voltage 57.6V is above the station's 27V limit. The manual warns this can damage the station.

Watch out for

Things in the manual that catch new owners.

01Solar charging goes in through the USB-C port, not a DC8020 port. Jackery includes a DC7909-to-USB-C adaptor for this.
