Technical: **Running load:** 150 W. **Surge:** 150 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush spike, consistent draw across flow settings.

Field note: Verify power station inverter can deliver 150 W continuously for 24-hour cycles. Monitor battery state of charge during overnight operation.

Can I run this concentrator on battery backup during a power outage?

Only if your power source can supply at least 150W continuous and 150W surge at 120V.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 350W continuous. **Surge:** 350W (no inrush spike). **Voltage requirement:** 120V AC. Resistive heating element drives steady draw with minimal transient.

Field note: Ensure power station inverter handles 350W continuous without thermal cutoff. Voltage deviation beyond ยฑ5% may trigger device fault alarms.

Can I run this on a portable power station during an outage?

Only if your power source can supply at least 350W continuous and 350W surge at 120V. Verify capacity in watt-hours exceeds your runtime need.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 310W continuous. **Surge:** 310W (no starting transient). **Voltage:** requires 120V AC. The device demands 7440 Wh over a 24-hour period.

Field note: Medical oxygen concentrators tolerate no interruption. Verify the power station supports pass-through charging during mains operation.

Can I run this oxygen concentrator on a portable power station during an outage?

Only if your power source can supply at least 310W continuous and 310W surge at 120V. No compatibility is guaranteed.

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running range: 150W (portable SimplyGo) to 350W (stationary EverFlo). Surge: modeled equal to running โ€” no OEM startup current published for any oxygen concentrator in this class. Voltage: 120V AC.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~0.6h. Stationary concentrators operate 24 hours daily at constant draw, consuming 7,440-8,400 Wh per day. Portable units draw less but still require continuous power for uninterrupted oxygen delivery.

Field Note

Oxygen concentrators are life-critical โ€” always have a backup power source. Use pure sine wave output only. Verify pass-through charging capability so the power station stays charged while the concentrator runs on mains power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus power a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?

It depends on the model. 1 of 3 Portable Oxygen Concentrator models are compatible with the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus. See the model-specific results table for exact verdicts per model.

How long will the Explorer 300 Plus run a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?

It depends on the model. Compatible models run approximately 1.3โ€“1.3 hours on the Explorer 300 Plus. 2 of 3 models are not compatible. See the model-specific results for details.

Pro Tip for Medical Users: According to energy reports, turning off the humidifier on your Portable Oxygen Concentrator can double your runtime. Using a DC cable instead of the AC plug is also recommended to avoid inverter inefficiency.
