Frequently Asked Questions

Running refrigerator, lights, and phones, a 500Wh power station provides approximately 2 hours of runtime. This equals about 0.2 days at your daily usage pattern.

Runtime depends on three factors: battery capacity (500Wh), inverter efficiency (85%), and your power draw (255W). Higher loads drain the battery faster.

Yes! Adding solar panels can extend runtime indefinitely during daylight. A 200W solar panel can add 600-1000Wh daily, potentially keeping a 500Wh station charged with light loads.

For refrigerator, lights, and phones, you may want a larger capacity. Consider a 1000Wh or larger unit for full-day coverage.

Popular brands for 500Wh capacity include: Jackery 500, Bluetti EB55. Compare features like outlets, solar input, and warranty.

A larger capacity (1000Wh+) is recommended for refrigerators due to the 1200W startup surge. This unit is better suited for smaller loads.
