Can a Jackery Explorer 240 v2 run a space heater (1500 w)?

Q: Can the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 run a space heater (1500 w)?

No. A space heater (1500 w) needs 1,500 W continuous and a 1,500 W startup surge, but the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 only delivers 300 W continuous and a 600 W surge — so it can’t sustain the running load. You'd want a larger unit.

No — the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 can't run a space heater (1500 w).
The space heater (1500 w) draws about 1,500 W (a steady resistive load); the Explorer 240 v2 delivers 300 W continuous and 600 W surge. That's not enough continuous output.
