Guide: runtime
How long will it run?
Watt-hours divided by watts gives an upper limit. The makers' own examples show how far below that limit real runtime falls.
- 75%
- Usable share at about 55 W, from Jackery's own example
- 37%
- Usable share at 3 W, from EcoFlow's router example

The basic estimate
Hours = usable watt-hours / appliance watts. A 1,024 Wh unit running a 100 W load would last 10.24 hours if every watt-hour reached the appliance. It does not: the inverter that makes household AC power uses energy itself, and the battery is not fully drained.
What the makers' own numbers imply. Jackery says its 293 Wh Explorer 300 runs a 55 W electric blanket for 4 hours (220 Wh, 75 percent of capacity), a 10 W speaker for 19 hours (65 percent) and a 5 W light for 24 hours (41 percent)1. EcoFlow says its 286 Wh RIVER 3 Plus runs a 3 W router for up to 35 hours (37 percent)2. The smaller the load, the bigger the share lost to the unit's own consumption.
So we use 75 percent for loads of about 50 W and up, the highest share the makers' examples support, and we point you to the maker's figure for tiny loads.
Appliances that cycle. A refrigerator runs its compressor on and off. Use daily energy instead of watts: the yellow EnergyGuide label gives kilowatt-hours per year; divide by 365. For example, a label of 550 kWh per year is about 1.5 kWh a day.

Our arithmetic: stated capacity (Wh) x 0.75 / appliance watts. The 0.75 usable share is the highest implied by the makers' own runtime examples we read (Jackery Explorer 300: 55 W blanket for 4 hours from 293 Wh); small loads get much less. A real appliance cycles on and off, so measure it if you can.
Runtime questions
Does solar charging change the math?
Yes: anything you put back in during the day extends the night. Each maker lists its maximum solar input on the product page.
Is it safe to run indoors?
Battery power stations make no exhaust; fuel generators do and must run outside. See power station or generator.

About this page
We do not earn anything from purchases today. Every product link is a plain link to the merchant's own page, without an affiliate code. We may join merchants' affiliate programs in the future, and this notice will say so before that changes.
Prices and specifications are each maker's own, as listed on the date shown, and change often during sales. The maker's page is the final word on price, availability and terms.
Runtime figures are estimates from stated capacity, not measurements. OutageReady Guide does not sell power stations and has not tested any product.
