What the Jackery 1500 Ultra inverter will carry
Jackery does not publish a watt-hour capacity for this model, so we cannot give you runtimes and we will not estimate them. What is published is the 3,600W continuous rating, and that alone settles which appliances are on the table.
| Appliance | Typical draw | Within 3,600W? |
|---|---|---|
| Phones, tablets, laptops | 100W | Yes |
| Wi-Fi router and modem | 30W | Yes |
| Full-size refrigerator | 150W | Yes |
| CPAP with humidifier | 90W | Yes |
| Television and console | 200W | Yes |
| Microwave | 1,000W | Yes |
| Coffee maker | 900W | Yes |
| Space heater | 1,500W | Yes |
| Window air conditioner | 1,200W | Yes |
| Table saw or circular saw | 1,800W | Yes |
Carrying a load and carrying it for a useful length of time are different questions, and the second one needs the capacity figure that is missing here. Treat this table as the shortlist of what the unit can power at all, not as a statement about endurance.

Where the Jackery 1500 Ultra sits in its band
We track 83 priced units in the portable 600 1,200wh band, running from $119 to $9,199. At $1,419 the Jackery 1500 Ultra is the 69 cheapest of 83. Because Jackery does not publish a capacity for this model, we cannot rank it on cost per watt-hour, which is the measure we would normally lead with. Price position on its own tells you where it sits in the range but not whether it is good value, and those are genuinely different questions.

Who the Jackery 1500 Ultra suits
The 3,600W continuous rating puts a hard boundary on what this unit can power at all, and that boundary is the part of the decision we can speak to with confidence.
What we cannot tell you is how long it will hold out, because Jackery has not published a watt-hour figure for this model. If runtime is the question you are actually asking, either get that number from Jackery before ordering or choose one of the alternatives below, where the figure is on record and the arithmetic can be checked.
Jackery 1500 Ultra questions
Can the Jackery 1500 Ultra be charged by solar?
Jackery does not publish a maximum solar input for this model. Rather than estimate one, we leave it out. Check the manual that ships with the unit before buying panels for it.
What warranty does the Jackery 1500 Ultra carry?
Jackery covers it for 3 years. Cycle life and warranty are different promises, and the cycle figure is the one that tells you how long the pack stays useful.
What is not published
Jackery does not state the watt-hour capacity, which is the single figure runtime depends on, the rated cycle life, the weight, the maximum solar input for this model. We list figures rather than estimate them, so those rows stay empty until the manufacturer publishes them. If you need one of them to make the decision, ask Jackery directly and hold them to the answer.
How we assess these
Every figure on this page comes from the manufacturer, and every derived number, cost per watt-hour and estimated runtime, is calculated the same way for all 437 products we track. That is what makes the comparison meaningful: we are not scoring units against a private impression of them, we are putting published figures side by side and doing the arithmetic in public. Where a manufacturer stays quiet, we say so rather than filling the gap.
