Capacity-first planning
Compare ten common loads before adjusting the calculator for your exact device, output path, battery condition, and reserve.
Each row uses the scenario's sourced planning load and the site's shared runtime engine.
| Device scenario | Planning load | Estimated runtime | Planning range | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full-size refrigerator | 500 W · 33% | 2h 19m | 1h 27m – 2h 53m | Full-size refrigerator |
| Mini fridge | 75 W · 45% | 11h 20m | 7h 6m – 14h 4m | Mini fridge |
| CPAP without heated humidifier | 40 W · 100% | 9h 34m | 5h 59m – 11h 53m | CPAP without heated humidifier |
| Starlink Standard | 85 W · 100% | 4h 30m | 2h 49m – 5h 35m | Starlink Standard |
| Laptop | 60 W · 100% | 6h 36m | 4h 9m – 8h 11m | Laptop |
| Wi-Fi router | 12 W · 100% | 1d 9h | 20h 44m – 1d 16h | Wi-Fi router |
| LED TV | 100 W · 100% | 3h 50m | 2h 24m – 4h 45m | LED TV |
| Portable fan | 35 W · 100% | 10h 56m | 6h 50m – 13h 34m | Portable fan |
| LED light | 10 W · 100% | 1d 15h | 1d 0h – 2d 1h | LED light |
| Camera battery charger | 15 W · 100% | 1d 3h | 17h 25m – 1d 10h | Camera battery charger |
These are calculated planning estimates, not measured runtimes. Low-power loads can be more sensitive to station idle draw, and runtime does not prove AC output or startup-surge compatibility.
For CPAP or other medical-comfort use, confirm the exact device and battery guidance with the manufacturer. Do not rely on this table as a critical backup plan.
These are the closest nominal capacities in the catalog, not recommendations. Actual capacity and all known or unknown specifications remain visible on each model page.
