Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
Samsung UN55AU8000B 150W 150W Safe ~1.3h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 150 W. **Surge:** 150 W. Requires 120V AC. No surge headroom needed since startup equals running draw.

Field note: Zero surge headroom simplifies power station sizing. Any unit rated for continuous 150 W output suffices provided voltage matches.

Can I run this TV on a 300 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 150W continuous and 150W surge at 120V.

LG 55UP7000P 130W 130W Safe ~1.6h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 130 W. **Surge:** 130 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush current typical for LED panels. Power station must deliver stable 120 V AC with at least 130 W continuous capacity.

Field note: Verify power station AC outlet is rated for continuous 130 W or higher. Check voltage regulation under load before connecting the panel.

Will this TV drain my power station quickly?

Only if your power source can supply at least 130W continuous and 130W surge at 120V. It depends on your power station's battery capacity.

LG 55UA7000 113W 113W Safe ~1.8h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 113 W. **Surge:** 113 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush spike. Total capacity requirement depends on desired runtime and simultaneous devices.

Field note: Ensure power station inverter provides stable 120 V output and capacity exceeds 452 Wh for full daily runtime without recharge.

Will this TV drain my power station quickly?

Only if your power source can supply at least 113W continuous and 113W surge at 120V. It depends on your power station capacity. A 500 Wh unit provides roughly 4 hours runtime at this load, provided inverter efficiency losses are minimal.

Samsung QN77S90C 136W 136W Safe ~1.5h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 136 W. **Surge:** 136 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. This device shows no surge demand above running consumption, typical of modern power-supply designs with soft-start circuitry.

Field note: Ensure power station AC outlet provides stable 120 V output. Verify adequate continuous rating above 136 W to avoid thermal cutoff during extended sessions.

Can I run this TV on a 200 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 136W continuous and 136W surge at 120V. Marginal headroom may trigger low-battery shutdown earlier than expected.

LG OLED77C3PUA 140W 140W Safe ~1.4h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 140 W. **Surge:** 140 W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Resistive load profile with zero surge margin indicates immediate full draw at startup.

Field note: Ensure power station has clean AC output rated for continuous 140 W minimum. Zero surge headroom means any voltage sag at startup risks shutdown.

Can I run this OLED TV from a portable power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 140W continuous and 140W surge at 120V.

Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 170 W. **Surge:** 170 W (no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Modern OLED panel with integrated power supply and backlight driver.

Field note: Ensure inverter capacity exceeds 170 W continuous. Verify 120 V output stability under sustained load.

Can I run this TV on a 300 W power station?

Only if your power source can supply at least 170W continuous and 170W surge at 120V.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus power a Television?

Yes. The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus provides 300W running / 600W surge. The Television needs 196W / 196W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 104W of running headroom and 404W of surge margin.

How long will the Explorer 300 Plus run a Television?

Approximately 1.2 hours, based on the Television's 170W draw and the Explorer 300 Plus's 288Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 70W allocated to the Television, the Explorer 300 Plus still has ~0W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
