Tips
- A 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 100Wh battery, the largest allowed on planes.
- 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.
