Will a Jackery Explorer 300 Plus run an electric space heater? (US 120 V)
Exceeds output — nothing to time — it will not run
The load is more than this inverter can sustain. 1,500 W against 300 W continuous — 500% of it. No accessory closes a gap that size — it takes a bigger inverter.

Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus (US 120 V) — 2,000 W continuous, and it holds an electric space heater for about 0.7 h · from $999. See that pairing →

No start-up rail: this load has no locked rotor to publish an inrush for, so no start-up demand was checked.
Two numbers decide this, and readers use them interchangeably: watts are the ceiling on what the inverter holds at any instant, watt-hours are how much energy the battery holds. A machine can have plenty of one and not enough of the other.
The verdict is a calculation, not a lookup. What it will not do is print a runtime, and the reason is specific: there is nothing to time. A runtime for a load this machine will not start is a figure about nothing.
Where those numbers come from
A blank is never left blank. A field we have found no figure for says so, and a field whose sources disagree — two documents, or one document with itself — says that instead of picking one.
What an electric space heater demands
What the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus offers
The arithmetic: 288 Wh nameplate × 80% published capacity coefficient = 230.4 Wh
Jackery publishes the coefficients but not this figure, so it is computed rather than copied.
What the machine consumes just being switched on. It sits in the runtime denominator alongside the load.
What this page is not going to sell you
There is no buy button on this page, and that is the finding rather than an omission: the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus does not run an electric space heater. A price here would be a sale, not an answer.
