What Can a Power Station Run
What Will It Run?
Read the watts off each appliance's label, add the hours you need it, and we name the smallest station that covers it.1
Start-up draw of motors is checked separately.2
- Our estimate, not BLUETTI's: usable energy taken as 85% of rated capacity to allow for inverter losses. Real runtimes vary with the load, temperature and battery age, and can be lower.
- Our assumption, not BLUETTI's: a motor or compressor (fridge, pump, air-conditioner) can draw about 3× its rated watts for a moment as it starts. Where BLUETTI publishes no surge figure we check against continuous output instead, which is stricter.
