Recharging with solar

Tips
- A typical laptop battery holds 50–70Wh. Charging over USB-C PD is more efficient than using the laptop's AC brick.
- Running it from the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 88Wh more usable energy.
- The Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
