Tips
- Mirrorless camera batteries (Sony NP-FZ100, Canon LP-E6NH) hold about 15–16Wh.
- Running it from the Jackery Explorer 1000’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 70Wh more usable energy.
- The Jackery Explorer 1000 uses NMC cells, which are lighter but rated for fewer cycles (typically 500–800) than newer LFP models.
