Questions

How long does a 5,000 Wh power station run a refrigerator?
About 3.3 days for a typical modern full size refrigerator: 4,250 Wh usable divided by its 54.2 W average draw. All 5 stations in this class can start its compressor, with a median of 3.3 days on a full charge.
Can a 5,000 Wh power station run a space heater?
All 5 stations in this class have the 1,500 W of output a space heater on high needs, and they heat for a median of 2.9 h. That is minutes of heat, not a night; the space heater setup works out why.
How many watts can a 5,000 Wh power station power at once?
Capacity and output are separate ratings. In this class continuous output runs from 4,000 W to 12,000 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.
