AC inverter

Continuous output rating (W): 500 W

LED TV: 100 W · Duty cycle (%): 100% · Efficiency (%): 85% · Reserve kept unused (%): 10%. Runtime is conditional on successful startup, compatible voltage/connectors and sufficient output. Verify the actual device setup before relying on these hours.

Runtime range

These are calculated sensitivity cases, not a statistical confidence interval. Conservative uses lower efficiency and battery health, more reserve/temperature loss and higher load; optimistic changes these assumptions in the opposite direction.
