Can a portable power station run a refrigerator? ›

Yes, a portable power station can run a refrigerator or freezer. However, it depends on the size and capacity of the power station and the refrigerator.

The unit is equipped with all the safety measures, so it's safe, but keeping the unit continuously plugged in can affect the long-term battery health. We recommend you charge up the unit, then store it unplugged and recharge it every 3-6 months. The self-discharge rate is only about 1% per week.

I usually store my Jackery between 50% - 80% charged; as opposed to keeping it 100% charged. This is a little easier on the lithium ion battery. Of course you may want to keep Jackery fully charged in case of an emergency, and that's fine also. Then just use and charge up unit every 3 months to maximize lifespan.

In order to prevent the battery from overcharging, our generators are regulated at a certain voltage and current. The solar panel can reach up to 18V and the power station can support up to 6.3A.
