  • ›Equipped with heavy-duty rugged wheels and an ergonomic pull handle for mobile transport of its 31.5 kg chassis.
  • ›Accepts up to five Jackery Battery Pack 2000 Plus units to expand from 2 kWh to 12 kWh total capacity.
  • ›Includes an onboard NEMA TT-30R RV port delivering up to 25 A (3,000 W continuous) at 120 V.
Cycle Physics & Dwell Behavior (CPAP Machine)
  • ›Turning off the heated humidifier and ClimateLineAir heated tube cuts power draw by more than half (from 40–65 W down to ~15 W), more than doubling battery runtime.
  • ›Running from a power station's 12 V car socket via ResMed's Air11 DC/DC Converter (part 39231) avoids turning on the station's AC inverter and its ~15 W idle drain.
  • ›The AirSense 11 uses a 24 V DC input with a proprietary 3-pin sense pin, so it requires the official Air11 DC/DC converter rather than a passive 12 V barrel cord.

Frequently Asked Questions: Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus & CPAP Machine

How long will a Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus run a CPAP machine?

About 33 hours on AC power, with the CPAP machine averaging 40 W (standard pressure with humidifier active (40 W)). The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus then draws about 61 W from its battery, including 18 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 60 hours (humidifier and heated tube off (15 W)). Worst case: about 23.2 hours (high pressure with HumidAir and heated tube at max (65 W)). At 8 hours a night, that's about 4.2 nights.

Is it better to run the CPAP machine from DC on the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus?

Yes. Using the ResMed Air11 90 W DC/DC Converter (part 39231) on the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus's 12 V car socket, the CPAP machine runs about 52 hours instead of 33 hours on AC, 57% longer, because it skips the inverter's conversion loss and its 18 W idle draw. That's 6.5 nights instead of 4.2 nights.

Why isn't the runtime just 2,042 Wh ÷ 40 W?

That simple division gives 51 hours, but the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus's inverter draws about 18 W whenever its AC outlets are on. At this light load that's 29% of everything the battery supplies, and inverter conversion losses take a further share. The idle figure comes from Jackery.

How long does the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus take to recharge?

On wall power: about 100 minutes to 80% and 120 minutes to full (Jackery figures). With its maximum 1,200 W of solar input connected, expect about 960 W in full sun, so a full recharge takes roughly 2.2 hours of full sun, so it can refill in a single day with 4 peak sun hours.

Can the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus keep a CPAP machine running during a power cut?

It can act as a backup supply: with the CPAP machine plugged into the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus and the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus plugged into the wall, it switches the CPAP machine to battery in about 20 ms when the grid fails (Jackery calls this EPS mode).
