⚡ Power Math & Safety Analysis
The Jackery Explorer 300 delivers 300W of continuous power, which comfortably exceeds the Portable Surgical Light’s 100W operating draw. This gives you a 200W safety margin.
After accounting for 85% inverter efficiency, the usable capacity is 249Wh. Dividing this by the appliance’s power draw yields approximately 2.5 hours of continuous runtime.
Pro Tip
For cycling appliances, real-world runtime is longer. With a 50% duty cycle, expect 5 hours of elapsed time before depletion.
