Powering Your Promotions — Battery Life, Energy Costs and Eco-Friendly Tips

Dual-Power Flexibility

Jack In The Box can run either:

  • On its rechargeable battery pack for about 6-8 hours at standard brightness, ideal for untethered patios, festivals, or pop-ups.
  • Or on AC mains power for continuous all-day use.

Energy Use and Costs

At normal brightness it draws roughly 100–150 W — about the same as a mid-size LED TV.

That’s typically $5-$10/month in electricity on standard utility rates.


Battery Maintenance for Longevity

  • Rated for ≈ 500-800 charge cycles — typically 2-3 years of daily business-hour use before replacement.
  • Recharge overnight whenever possible; avoid fully draining battery each day.
  • Store battery indoors in very cold weather for better performance.

Green Advantage 

By replacing weekly paper posters and plastic-laminated menus with re-usable digital slides, businesses cut print waste and reduce material disposal.


Key Takeaway

Long-lasting battery, low energy draw and reduced print waste make the board budget-friendly and eco-friendlier than disposable signage.
