Anyone used a portable power station like a Jackery Explorer to power a PA system?

I've got a gig in a field with no power and no generator so just wondering if anyone has used a portable power station to power a PA before?

The Jackery Explorer 1000 provides 1kWh per charge so on paper that should be enough to run a PA at reasonable volume for a fe hours but just wondering if anyone has any real life experience of doing this?

Cheers

Will it be daylight? Otherwise some lighting will also be a drain. What about mixer and backline or keys, all these will draw power. Yes modern digital amps are much lower draw but you need a decent margin capacity. 
If the numbers stack up it will work, if not hire a genset.

When you say run the Pa from it what exactly are you going to run.?

The website for the power supply suggests a 900W grill would run for 50 minutes and a 550W coffee maker for 88 mins

Have you done actual power calculations to work out if it will last long enough for everything you are going to power with it?
