Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
Samsung UN55AU8000B 150W 150W Safe ~14.1h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 150 W. **Surge:** 150 W. Requires 120V AC. No surge headroom needed since startup equals running draw.

Field note: Zero surge headroom simplifies power station sizing. Any unit rated for continuous 150 W output suffices provided voltage matches.

Can I run this TV on a 300 W power station?

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

LG 55UP7000P 130W 130W Safe ~16.3h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 130 W. **Surge:** 130 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush current typical for LED panels. Power station must deliver stable 120 V AC with at least 130 W continuous capacity.

Field note: Verify power station AC outlet is rated for continuous 130 W or higher. Check voltage regulation under load before connecting the panel.

Will this TV drain my power station quickly?

Only if your power source can supply at least 130W continuous and 130W surge at 120V. It depends on your power station's battery capacity.

LG 55UA7000 113W 113W Safe ~18.7h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 113 W. **Surge:** 113 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush spike. Total capacity requirement depends on desired runtime and simultaneous devices.

Field note: Ensure power station inverter provides stable 120 V output and capacity exceeds 452 Wh for full daily runtime without recharge.

Will this TV drain my power station quickly?

Only if your power source can supply at least 113W continuous and 113W surge at 120V. It depends on your power station capacity. A 500 Wh unit provides roughly 4 hours runtime at this load, provided inverter efficiency losses are minimal.

Samsung QN77S90C 136W 136W Safe ~15.6h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 136 W. **Surge:** 136 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. This device shows no surge demand above running consumption, typical of modern power-supply designs with soft-start circuitry.

Field note: Ensure power station AC outlet provides stable 120 V output. Verify adequate continuous rating above 136 W to avoid thermal cutoff during extended sessions.

Can I run this TV on a 200 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 136W continuous and 136W surge at 120V. Marginal headroom may trigger low-battery shutdown earlier than expected.

LG OLED77C3PUA 140W 140W Safe ~15.1h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 140 W. **Surge:** 140 W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Resistive load profile with zero surge margin indicates immediate full draw at startup.

Field note: Ensure power station has clean AC output rated for continuous 140 W minimum. Zero surge headroom means any voltage sag at startup risks shutdown.

Can I run this OLED TV from a portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 140W continuous and 140W surge at 120V.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 170 W. **Surge:** 170 W (no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Modern OLED panel with integrated power supply and backlight driver.

Field note: Ensure inverter capacity exceeds 170 W continuous. Verify 120 V output stability under sustained load.

Can I run this TV on a 300 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 170W continuous and 170W surge at 120V.

Generator Insights

The 6000-watt surge capacity can handle typical compressor startup loads found in central AC units, well pumps, and refrigeration equipment. The 3000-watt continuous rating can support multiple simultaneous circuits during outages. This power profile suits households requiring reliable backup for motor-driven and resistive loads without relying on fuel-based generators.

This unit uses NMC chemistry and provides 3024 watt-hours of stored energy. Source: Market Data (January 2026), not OEM-listed (listed source reference). Consumers should follow all manufacturer operating instructions and confirm compatibility with their specific appliances before deployment.

Technical Breakdown

Running load: 170 W. Surge: 170 W (no inrush spike, resistive load). Voltage: 120V AC required. Straightforward draw profile with constant current demand during operation.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~12.5h. Usage hours/day: 4. Daily energy estimate: 680 Wh. Stable power draw with no cycling or transient peaks typical of modern OLED panels.

Field Note

Ensure at least 200 W continuous output headroom on the power station to prevent nuisance shutdowns during sustained viewing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro power a Television?

Yes. The Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro provides 3000W running / 6000W surge. The Television needs 196W / 196W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 2804W of running headroom and 5804W of surge margin.

How long will the Explorer 3000 Pro run a Television?

Approximately 12.5 hours, based on the Television's 170W draw and the Explorer 3000 Pro's 3024Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 1980W allocated to the Television, the Explorer 3000 Pro still has ~250W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
