Questions
How long does a 300 Wh power station run a refrigerator?
About 4.7 h for a typical modern full size refrigerator: 255 Wh usable divided by its 54.2 W average draw. 1 of the 6 stations in this class can start its compressor, with a median of 4.5 h on a full charge.
Can a 300 Wh power station run a space heater?
No. A space heater on high draws 1,500 W, and the most output in this class is 600 W. Even with the output, 300 Wh lasts about 10 min at that draw.
How many watts can a 300 Wh power station power at once?
Capacity and output are separate ratings. In this class continuous output runs from 200 W to 600 W; everything plugged in at the same moment has to stay under that figure, and a motor start has to stay under the surge rating. The watts and watt hours guide explains the difference.
