VigorPool Captain 1200 Runtime Calculator
Use this source-linked record to estimate runtime from tracked capacity, output, charging, and weight fields. Unknown specs stay unknown until an official or manufacturer-grade source confirms them.
Quick answer: the VigorPool Captain 1200 stores 1,280 Wh and delivers up to 1,200 W of continuous AC power. Under this site's planning assumptions (85% inverter efficiency, 10% reserve), a steady 100 W AC load runs for roughly 9.8 hours. Last source check: 2026-08-26. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Good fit when
- Capacity is in a mid-size planning class that can cover many overnight or essential-load scenarios when reserve and efficiency are included.
- Tracked AC output is 1,200 W, so high-draw appliances and tools need careful filtering.
- Tracked solar input is 400 W before panel, weather, angle, and controller losses.
Watch out for
- Surge output is unknown, so do not assume compressor, pump, or power-tool startup will work.
- Still unknown in the source-backed record: surge output, dc output, usb-c output, weight.
- Weight is unknown, so portability should not be inferred from this model page yet.
- Confidence is not marked verified; keep the linked source context visible before making a purchase or emergency plan.
