Portable Power FAQs

›How big a power station do I need?Link
Add up watts of what you’ll run (e.g., laptop 60W, fan 40W = 100W). For hours of runtime, multiply watts × hours to get Wh. A 100W load for 8 hours ≈ 800Wh, so a 1,000Wh unit gives headroom.
›LFP vs Li-ion: which chemistry is better?Link
LFP generally gives longer cycle life and better safety; Li-ion packs more energy per pound. If you value longevity, choose LFP. If you need the lightest possible unit, Li-ion.
›Will it run a fridge?Link
Most fridges draw 60–120W running but 600–1200W on compressor start. Look for inverters ≥800–1200W with decent surge handling, and 1000–2000Wh if you want multi-hour runtime without solar.
